CH.9 –Tessa-
Waking up I realized that today was going to be a fucked up day. It was one of those days where you just have the urge to cuss all day no matter the circumstance. I realized this the moment I had the urge to pee and the curse words were flowing out of me simply because I didn't want to get out of bed. The day before had been so emotionally draining with all the Mia drama, and what it meant. And the most frustrating part was that everyone seemed to just lock me out. Jay went to talk with Wynn and of course I followed, but they literally just slammed the door in my face. Later at dinner everyone went to their own rooms and I was left to eat in front of the Television.
All this time Wynn and Avery have been going on about how I belong here, but the minute something serious happens, I'm shut out. Cursing I get out of bed and head to the bathroom to freshen up. Finally feeling a little less like a zombie I pull some more of the clothes Avery had lent me. But taking a peek into my closet I see that this is the last outfit and I'll probably need to do laundry soon. Putting my hair in a tight pony tail I brace myself. Today I will get answers. I open the door and head down the hall to Avery's room. With a strong fist I knock on the door and wait.
Quickly the door swings open and Avery stands there with her hair thrown up in a messy bun and she's wearing her pajamas. She has sparkly silver fabric draped over her shoulder and she has two pin cushions on each hand.
"Oh jut the person I wanted to see!" she exclaims as soon as she sees me, "wait for me downstairs and I'll go get ready" and then she promptly shut the door in my face. Not quite sure with what to do I turn around ready to go downstairs when I come face to face with Jay.
"Hey" I call out before he can turn away, "What happened yesterday?" He stares at me for a second obviously contemplating his answer.
"Mia visited me yesterday" he finally sates.
"I know that" I reply, growing annoyed, "Did you discuss it with Wynn,what does it mean?"
"you think I know?" he barks back, "trust me when I say that if I knew anything right now I wouldn't be in my room wracking my brain for answers"
He's come closer now as he stairs me dead in the eyes. His chest is almost against mine and I can see the anguish in his eyes.
"I'm sorry" I reply taking a step back, "it's just that, no one is giving me any answers here."
"do me a favor" he says as he turns and opens his door " just stay away from me"
He locks the door behind him and I'm left speechless. I know his words don't mean anything to me because I don't care what he thinks, but his words still feel like a slap to the face. We were never friends, hell I don't even know his last name, but I didn't know his words could hold so much venom. Deciding to not think about jay and his stupid attitude I head down stairs to the kitchen. I find it empty and breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe now I'll have some peace and quiet. But my words are spoken to soon as I hear the clicking of heels coming down the stairs. I turn thinking its Avery but am surprised to see the blond girl instead. I recognize her as the girl I'd injected the serum into the first day here. She scans me up and down with her arms crossed, so I do the same. Her blonde hair is obviously dyed, with its black roots showing, she has on a tight black pants with a bright red strapless crop top. Her lips and stiletto heels are the same shade of red.
"Well if it isn't the new bitch in town" she sneers. Immediately my bitch radar starts going off in my head and I brace myself for what's coming.
"I heard they dragged you off the street" she continues, "tell me Tessa how was it, having your first shower today?" She's standing next to me as I brace myself against the counter, willing myself not to punch her in the face. Too tired to even say anything I turn to the cupboard and grab some cereal. I feel her eyes on me as I then turn to grab a bowl. Just as I think that Marissa is finally done talking, she opens her fat mouth again and says,

Action"Don't try to hit me" I whisper, the calm before the storm. Suddenly the built up anger inside is rushing through my veins and I can feel it radiating off of me, like heat from the sun. The windshield starts to shake and the man stares in silent fea...
