Hiding off the Grid

Chapter Twenty

After the whole incident yesterday it's like people have been avoiding me on purpose. Like them and almost all the guards, they think I'm crazy. But I guess I'll just have to show them wrong, keep my head down for a while and only talk when I have to.

Right now it is like lunch time, I have already eaten and I'm now sitting in my cell. In only a few days I found that it is extremely boring in prison, don't get arrested. I'm warning you.

And it's not like they have good food or resources, some people have to go on kitchen duty but I don't. I don't think anyone trusts me with their food right now. They all think I'm a psycho.

I was brought out from my thoughts when I heard a voice at my cell door. "Hey." I then looked up to see a short brunette standing in front of me. She was actually really cute and petite with only a couple piercings going up both of her ears as well as a nose ring.

"Hi?" I questioned her. She's the first person who has tried talking to me since yesterday and underneath my closed exterior I was really happy. Maybe people don't think I'm crazy after all?

"So you killed your parents huh?" She questioned casually and I wanted to laugh at her opening statement, usually that isn't the first thing people ask one another.

"I didn't kill anyone, I was just charged with doing it." I said uneasily and the girl standing in front of just nodded with no other questions asked and plopped herself down beside me on my cot.

Why was this girl being so friendly? Or maybe it's all just an act.

"I'm here for armed robbery and threatening to kill someone." She said like she's said it a million times to other people and this time it was my turn to nod.

But my curiosity got the better me, I used to steal from people and I'm not being charged with anything. I got lucky and she didn't. "Why were you stealing?" I ask out of wonder and she almost immediately gave me an answer.

"HA that's the funny part, my boyfriend told me to do it on a dare. I'm very stupid." She said half joking and half serious and I gave her a quiet laugh.

Her boyfriend must of been bad for her but everyone makes mistakes, I've made a lot too. "What's your name?" I ask because she just came in here to talk to me and she hasn't really even introduced herself.

"Kim Possible." She said joking around then she changed her answer. "Just kidding, it's Trinity." And then I nodded, it was a pretty name and it suited her appearance.

"My nam-"

"Oh I know your name." Trinity said over me cutting me off and I laughed at her. I was on the FBI's most wanted list for a while so I guess you could say I'm famous in prison. Not to mention my multiple little stunts that brought attention to me when I first came here.

We both sat in silence for a little but it wasn't awkward silence, it was comfortable. It's like Trinity was used to this. "Why are you talking to me?"

I asked her this very quietly because I didn't want to come across as rude and I was actually really glad that she is sitting here trying to talk to me. "You seem nice, I don't know. I could use some more friends in here." Trinity shrugged in response and I could tell she was being honest with me.

"I'm not going to be in here for long so..." I trail off not knowing what to say but Trinity knows how to respond.

"Are you being executed?" She asked confused and I shook my head no in response.

I didn't want to make her jealous or anything but I'm trying not to lie anymore, I've been doing it my whole life. So I told her the truth. "The FBI dropped my charges and are letting me out in a couple days."
