"Did you hear about what happened?" I let out a deep sigh as I think back to what Winnie had told me earlier when I came down for a snack.

Lauren and Meagan Pratt. Mother and daughter.

The windows weren't nailed shut and little Meagan fell for those things and their tricks.

"Poor kid didn't know any better...and I'm sure Lauren didn't know Meagan had done that before it was too late." Marianne—a girl in her early twenties who arrived here a few weeks ago—says as she folds some clothes on her lap. "Frank knew better. He was just too much a fucking alcoholic to actually hold himself responsible for it." Dale says as he walks by. Dale arrived a few months ago. One thing i've learned about him from the time he's been here. He's an asshole.

And these two aren't the only ones who arrived here and are staying at Colony.

Marianne actually came here with her parents and her sister. Lily-Rose, her sister—and yes that is her real name. I don't know what it is her parents and flowers...although I can't be talking.

Going back to what I was saying, Lily-Rose, Marianne's sister, is one of my best friends. We hit it off immediately. She's in her early twenties too. Just two years older than her younger sister who's 21.

She doesn't live up here in Colony and rather lives with her parents down in the town. When I had asked her why after choosing day, she told it was nothing. But then I saw her constantly staring at Kenny Liu. Deputy of the town. I didn't call her out about it but rather just smiled and nodded happily. Glad she's found someone she likes her in this nightmare of a place. I found Ellis and she found Kenny.

Although now she just has to actually date him. But, it's kinda hard once Kristi arrived. Jenny has been having eyes on her for a while now.

"Flora." Fatima says as she walks in from the kitchen. I would look up at her as I finish folding a piece of clean clothes on my lap, "What?"

"Ellis is looking for you. Something about a drawing and a bet." Fatima shrugged before going back into the kitchen.

I let out a small laugh before I jump up from my spot and run up the stairs. "Thanks Fati!" I yell as I'm climbing up the stairs to the second floor. Then climbing the third and to our top floor shared bedroom.

I turn the knob of the door and exhale as I see him leaning against the window with his loose pants, a necklace I found and gave to him, a robe that I also found an....no shirt. "I'm sorry I'm late." I smile happily at him and tilt my head as i look him over. I walk forward and into the room fully before closing the door behind me then proceeding in removing my clothes and walking over to my drawer in only my undergarments. "I can feel you looking." I laugh as I get out a big white button up shirt that fits more like a mini dress for me. "Can you blame me?" I hear him say before I hear his footsteps walking closer.
