Sleepers

Chapter 10

Lunch time. I wasn't even feeling hungry, although the rumbling sounds of my stomach thought otherwise. We were lined up one behind the other. the food hall divided with a mesh fence between the boys and the girls.

Michael was looking anxious on his tiptoes scanning the opposite side of the hall.

"She'll be fine Mike" Tommy reassured him by putting a hand on his shoulder.

"you don't know that" Mike brushed off Tommy's hand and continued to search.

Nicole's P.O.V

I'd never felt so lonely in my life. I was surrounded by mounts of people, yet I felt so alone. I didn't bother scanning the other side of the hall for the guys, I couldn't see past the girl in front of me yet alone see the other side of the hall.

Ouch! The coldness of the floor hit me, my hands stopping me fall on my face. A sudden pain throbbed on the back of my shoulders. I looked up to see none other than grease ball blonde girl. What's her problem? a few girl sneered at me, none of them seemed bothered to see if I was ok.

I did nothing but got up and continue to stand in line.

"hsssssst" A hiss? really? she hissed in my ear.

What! wait! she ran her hand down to my butt and squeezed it slightly.

I'm confused. I brush it off. What the fuck?

I held my head down, slightly embarrassed.I walked along with the line, grabbed a tray off the stack and held it out in front of me when I was presented with some green/brown sloppy stuff. Ew. You know you see that gross prison food on T.V? It's pretty much the reality in here.

I took a seat on the edge of a table along with numerous eyes on me. I turned my head to look out for the guys, It was chaos in this place. You would of thought there would be an organised routine, but there isn't, everyone here has to defend for themselves.

It was particularly loud in the hall, even if there was people talking they fell silent when a crash was sounded from the boy's side of the hall...

Shakes' P.O.V

I sat down on a table with Tommy, and John opposite me and empty seat besides me for Michael who was sure to be following behind and joining us.

*CRASH!*

My head naturally instantly turned to the sound of the crash. The whole place fell silent.

I looked in confusion of Michaels food on the floor, I wiped off a mash potato that had landed on my arm. yuk. Michael lunch was all over the floor. A boy at least 6 ft. Dark hair had slammed his tray on the floor.

"Hey! What the fuck you do that for?" Michael yelled.

"You got close to me" The boy said casually continuing eating his lunch.

"So?"

"It bothers me. I don't wanna be near you, or your creeped out friends." he nodded towards Tommy, John and myself.
