Every week we have Sundays off, we have work every other day of the week. It's rough, on Sundays me and Beth usually sleep in until gone 10 o'clock which is late for us. Sara without fail always wakes up at around 7 and goes out to god knows where. We get to leave the campus and there are usually different teachers in who are more like carers to look after us all to make sure we all come back to the campus before 6pm, there's no way you could get out and run off because they just ring the police and bring you back.
Sara's POV:
I had gone to my usual spot, to the stream. The stream led to a massive lake which all the popular kids would hang around and have parties at when we had an extension on how long we could stay out for.
I sat with my feet hanging over the side, barely missing the top of the water. I came here to think, to get away from all the stress of that place. I don't like to admit that I have spent hours upon hours sat here crying about how much I want to just go home but where is home if you have no family to go back to. Well, a family that doesn't want you, I only have a dad and he's way to busy with his other family and his slag of a wife to even give a damn what I'm doing. I've not been away from this place since I got here when I was 16, every holidays I would stay here with the couple of other kids who where in the same situation as me. I hated it here and I couldn't wait to leave in August next year, I was still deciding where I was gonna go, I hadn't brought it up with Mia and Beth, not even George, Reece and Blake. I was just concentrating on doing good on my exams so I could get out.
"Hey, thought I might find you here" I heard a familiar male voice, "Hey" I sighed, "you look like you wanna cry" George laughed awkwardly, "I always do" I said causing us both to chuckle, "you need a hug?" he said opening out his arms, I just nodded me head, I could already feel myself welling up. I fell into his arms and he rubbed my back soothingly, "what's wrong?" he asked with his cheek pressed against my hair, "what's right" I sighed as I felt a tear roll down my cheek, "don't cry, you know I might cry if you cry" he chuckled, "I'm sorry, I just feel like shite" I said pulling away from him, "it's fine, I don't mind being your shoulder to cry on really" he smiled, "thank you" I smiled wiping away the tears, "we need to do something to take your mind off whatever it is that's upsetting you" he smiled, as he said that we heard a scream and sounds of people enjoying themselves, I smiled. "We could y'no" I said gesturing towards the sound, "Sara no. We are not going anywhere near that place they'll kill us" he said standing up after me, "they're just people George" I chuckled, "yes. Evil people who do not like me in the slightest" he said chasing after me, "you don't know that" I laughed, "yes I do know that, the way that Nate guy glares at me is really not fun for me" he panicked, "Nate glares at everyone" I sighed. The music from the lake became more clear as we walked closer to it. "Sara please I'm begging you-" "George you have told me time and time again that you are stronger than you look so if anyone jumps you you'd be able to fight them off yeah?" I questioned as I spun to face him, "not if it's all of them!" he whisper-yelled, "look George they're just people, just because a lot more people like them than us does not mean that they are not reasonable" I told him with a smile before turning around and continuing to walk up the stream, "my death is on your hands" he grumbled, "as it should be" I smiled, "never being nice to you again" he grumbled, "you'll be dead so it won't matter" I laughed as we reached the lake, music blasted from the wireless speakers and people where jumping off the lake edge into the cool water. Me and George hid behind a tree, "2 years I've gone without you dragging me here" George grumbled from beside me, "shh" I said in a scolding way, "let's have a closer look" I told him as I stepped out, "wow, Beth's right you never listen" he said bluntly.
