I fast walked towards the front door, but as my hand began griping around the handle two pair of giant arms grabbed me and pulled me back, I tried spinning around but the grip was too firm.
"you're going nowhere, do you understand" the surprisingly gentle voice whispered
"let go of me" I struggled.
"not until you calm down" the stranger answered. I screamed, kicked, punched, but it was no use, whoever it was, was not going to let go off me anytime soon. Eventually I had no fight in me, I just sort of stood there hyperventalting on a spot, looking like a 3 year old who couldn't have the sweet that they had been eyeing up.
"come on lets get you somewhere, where you can calm down " the voice said gently as they realised their rather strong grip. I looked up at the person who had been gradling me for the last 5 minutes, it was a rather large Jamaican woman, with braids in her hair, I looked into her hazel brown eyes and began to laugh
"no wonder I couldn't get away from you, you're as fat as a whale, go to weight watchers.
"you quite done?"
"hmmm hum" I huffed sarcastically
"good, now follow me" I followed her the kitchen.
"you can sit down" she said eyeing me up as I leaned on the counter.
"Nah, I'm alright standing"
"Fine" she shrugged as she moved the chair around so she could give her fat bum a rest.
"So, Shannon, you haven't had a very good start have you really?
I looked at my long chipped painted nails, "Suppose not"
"do you want anything?" she asked, trying to make everything civil
"to get out of this fucking dump!"
"she swore!" a curly blonde kid said in astonishment
The woman turned to face the boy, "harry what have I told you about ear wigging and coming in when people are having serious conversations?"
"Sorry...geff wanted a biscuit," he held what appeared to be a toy giraffe up
"Well, tell geff that he will have to wait, now go and watch tv.
"Tee can you keep an eye on Harry please, she shouted through a half open door."
As soon as harry left, she rolled her eyes "sorry about that"
"Its alright" I half mumbled
Tracy popped her head through the crack of the door "Gina, mike said he wants a word when you have a minute."
Gina slid off her seat, "I think we've done here, Shannon I will come and find you in a little while, in the meantime stay out of trouble. Tracy do you want to stay with Shannon?".
"Sure" Tracy smiled, as she came into the room and settled herself down on a chair
Gina walked over to Tracy, whispered something then left the kitchen
