Chapter Twenty Six

'Can Blocks FE2 and MA2 please be ready to be taken to the gym for physical exercise.' A voice over the loud speaker instructs. I run my fingers through my hair and wait for the guards to open my door. As usual, they open it and cuff me before making me line up with the other Females from my block. 'Okay so today you will be interacting with the boys from Male 2 so be on your best behaviour.' The guard at the front calls. We follow him and are taken into a large room with various sporting equipment. Along the walls are cameras and the guards all have big machine guns, some with snipers on the second floor balcony.

There on the other side are the men and a few are already playing basketball. 'You're cuffs get to be taken off but if anyone tries anything,' the guard looks at me,'they will be put back on and the next two weeks will be in solitary confinement.' He walks over and unlock our cuffs one by one. As soon as mine are released I head over to the bats. I pick one up and it feels very light. 'They are made of foam.' A voice whispers in my ear.

I swing around with my bat aimed and ready to attack. 'Woah calm down!' John laughs. 'You idiot you scared me!' I laugh, dropping the bat and giving him a hug. 'Didn't think I could scare someone like you by whispering in your ear.' He grins. I stop smiling and glare at him. 'That didn't scare me. You telling Clayface where we lived and getting me thrown in here scared me!' I yell. 'I didn't know it was him!' He exclaims,'after I told her she winked at me before saying she wasn't interested.' I feel sorry for him as he bites his lip  but then quickly remember what he did. 'I honestly had no idea until I heard you were thrown in Arkham. I put the pieces together and realised that she was a liar. I didn't know she was Clayface until word got round that you and Kali had a fight in the canteen and then she turned into Clayface.' I give him one last look before I lean in for another hug.

'Does this mean you forgive me?' He asks, pulling away. 'Yeah,' I sigh,'did you hear what Edward-' 'Yeah I did.' He interrupts. 'I know he is in my cell block because I have seen him being taken in for his therapy but we haven't spoken-rules are too tight now.' I smile at him, happy to have at least one person in my life who makes me feel happy.

'Come on John you can do better than that!' I laugh as he tries to do his 5th pull up. 'It's not as easy as it looks!' He laughs, dropping from the pole. I grin at him before grabbing the pole and raising myself up of the ground. I do this seven more times before my arms start to hurt. 'Eight!' I cry, high-fiving John. 'Whatever.' He smiles. 'I bet I can do twelve.' A voice behind me brags. I turn around and come face to face with a man I hoped to not see again, even though my heart would disagree.
