Yelling voices tear through my vivid dream, startling me and knocking me awake. Groggily, I gawp at my company. It's a group of rowdy adolescents, bellowing at me. Us. I look across at Reef, who is wide awake, staring placidly at the wall. I recognise them. Mandy, Hans, Abbie, Mia and Nathan, my friends. What has day dreaming done to me?
"Hey" mutters a sheepish boy, Hans. What does he think of me now?
" Yeah, what is up slacker?" Says a sneering Abbie
" Capital offence and shoved in with a Tree-hater?!" Smirks Giselle
I stare at them aghast, my mouth agape and stutter " I thought you were my friends"
"Friends with a slacker, a freakish creep" bellows Nathan in disbelief
"Yeah no way" says Mia sassily adding "Let's get you in close quarters with Offender-boy" malicious glee infecting her face as she bellows "Guard"
Obediently, a guard comes and asks " What do you want, fine folk?"
"Move the Offenders closer so they are touching, let me do it" Hans and Mandy say inching towards us as the guard passes them a key, the rest just smirk. Hans unties my bondages only to yank me and dump me on top of Reef and force us to kiss, to the others sneers and laughter.
"Bye offenders, have a nice time" says Giselle while the others slope off and I wrench my mouth away from Reef's.
