I wake up around 8 pm to the all girls sitting on there own beds and talking, well yelling, about what sounds like tonight's dinner.
I sit up and give myself a good stretch before pulling my legs over the side of the bed to get up and go to the bathroom, ignoring the commotion.
"Hope you had a good sleep and didn't wake up hungry because I'm sorry there won't be any dinner tonight." Alyssa says to me, filling her words with attitude.
I couldn't tell if it was belligerents from the fact that I just woke up that made it hard for me to understand Alyssa or if it had just been what she said that made it hard. I sat back down and rubbed my eyes a little. "What are you talking about?" I sigh knowing I'd just been pulled into this argument. "There's a pizzeria like two blocks away."
"Yea now we just have to figure out how to leave the room." She continues.
And that's when confusion hit me even harder. These girls are crazy. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing don't worry about it." Trissy cuts in looking deep into my eyes,and trying her hardest to convince me of just that.
"Why are you telling her not to worry about it? Dammit Trissy we're locked in!"
"Its just stuck Alyssa!" Sheena yells, shocking everyone in the room.
Stuck?
"What do you mean its stuck are yall talking about the door? It just got put in today, how can it be broken already?" I say getting up and walking toward it sleepily. I turn it and it rattles a bit it before I stop. It did seem to be locked, but the knob that was visible to me had no key hole..
"Could it be locked from the outside?." I prod.
"No because it's just st--"
"Sheena shut the fuck up its not just stuck!"
Sheena stands up from her bed with her fists balled up at her sides ready to pounce on Alyssa. "Listen here you bitch," I run in front of her stopping her in her path and sit her back on her bed. "Listen Sheena, I need you to calm down."
"Great." Alyssa groans. "Just great, how the hell are we suppose to get dinner tonight?"
"Maybe Steve will come back sometime tonight and we can let him know." I suggests.
"And what if he doesn't. I have a bad feeling you guys." Alyssa huffs looking towards the ceiling with her arms crossed. "What if he did it on purpose?"
I don't take my eyes off of Alyssa because I'm stunned at what she just said but I can hear Sheena's silent cry behind me.
"Don't talk like that." Trissy snaps meeting Sheena on her bed and attempting to comfort her. "Steve didn't do this, he would do this."
"Oh please Steve doesn't care about us, take a look at Crystal over here that he basically pimped out."
"Look everyone just calm down. He'll be back tonight. He has to give us our keys anyway." I tried to calm them down but deep down something about this situation was off to me as well.
Chresanto's POV
