It has been about a month and now Mary abuses me every way she possibly can. One morning, I got up and walked down to the kitchen to start my daily chores. Mary was setting at the table.
"You need to go back up the stairs and pack up your bags." Mary said.
"Why?''
"Because I'm sending you to Military school in Ireland, since you don't want to listen to me any more."
"When do I have to go?" I said kind of happy.
"I will take you as soon as you get your things packed."
"Yes ma'am it won't take me long to pack everything."
I had gotten my things packed, and in the car. When I got in the car Mary took me to the airport so I could go to Ireland. It seemed like forever, but I finally got to where I was going. When I stepped out of the cab, it was cold and rainy. I was standing in front of the main gate it said, "Welcome to Camp Curragh." I stood there for a second, then I pushed open the gate and went inside. As I was walking to the main office, there was a boy that came up to me; he looked about my age, and asked if he could help me.
"No, I'm just going to the office."
"Okay. Well if you need anything just ask for Conner Kent."
"Okay thanks."
I walked on until I came to the office door. I stood frozen.
After I stood there for about a minute, I reach for the door knob, someone opened it and stepped out.
"Can I help you with something?" Asked the tall man, that looked a lot like my father, which I have seen.
"Umm, my-my name is Elizabth Black, my adopted mother sent me."
"Yes, Miss. Black, come with me and I will get you your room, and new clothing."
"Okay, thank you sir."
"You are welcome ma'am, and call me Henry."
"Okay, I will."
Henry took me to my room, which was with that Conner kid. Henry told me to come to the office after I got everything settled.
It only took me about ten minutes to unpack all my clothing. After I got done, I went back to the office to see what all I had to do. It was simple, do what you're told to do. I got my schedule and it was like you were at school, but everything was a little harder.

We truly had no time to do what we wanted to do. I thank that one of the hardest class was the military drill class, which was from 11:10 to 12:00 in the morning. Then we had another drill class at 4:00 till 5:00 in the evening. One day when we were our evening drill, we were practicing how to cross a trip wire, when Conner got "shot", but it was blanks, so he didn't get hurt.
The next evening when we all went in for our drills, I can't remember if it was morning or evening; but we came in and in the middle of the room stood Serge Henry.
"Go over and stand neat to the wall, don't lean on the wall. You do and you will run for one hour."
We all walked over to the wall and stood. Well needless to say I was the only one who didn't have to run that day.
For the rest of the week we had to stand near the wall and not move, if you did move you had to run, so much fun. It was about in the middle of our evening drills when I was called to the office.
"Miss. Black I have a letter for you."
"Okay sir, who is it from?"
"It is from your mother."
"You can throw it in the trash sir. I don't care what she has to say."
"Dear, you need to see what she has to say, you might get to go home."
"Sir, I don't want to go home, but I will take the letter, thank you sir."
"You're welcome dear. "
