The boy nodded at Caine and gave a pained look at Alex.

"I was in the middle of pudding." He said accusingly. His voice was surprisingly high pitched, almost feminine. He saw Caine looking and said; "I'm transgender. If you plan to judge me based on it I suggest you get the fuck out of my sight. If not, my name is Carlos."

Alex climbed inside whilst Carlos watched him Intensely.

"Mate, I don't care who's transgender and who's not. You're all people and people all suck." Caine said, as Carlos moved his muscular arms out of the way, allowing him come in.

"Some people suck and spit. Some people suck and swallow," Alex called from within. "You gonna judge Carlos, Caine?"

"Nah. That's stupid as hell. Can I come in before I slip off the bloody roof."

Carlos observed him for a second before breaking into a grin and shaking his hand.

"Caine, Carlos. Carlos, Caine." Alex stood, with her arms crossed. "Everyone, Caine."

Caine glanced around the room, it was quite big with three beds in. White and plum with posters of various bands over one of the walls. A jewellery stand stood alone on a white desk that faced a mirror. Energy drink cans were chucked in a corner of the room where the bin should've been. It smelled strongly of incense but not so overwhelming. Drawings and writing were scratched into a panel of the cupboard. Caine immediately liked this room.

A boy who looked around 17 stood up off one of the beds. He had ebony skin and entrancing blue eyes. They matched Alex's hair exactly. "What's up, I'm Andreas. Welcome to Formido care." Caine and Andreas shook hands.

A blond girl with several facial piercings and almond coloured eyes gave a cheery wave.
"Hey. I'm katrina. Call me Kat, though." She turned to Alex and changed her tone,"Alex, you do realise we have V and mr Emric looking for him? Not to mention countless other pupils looking, too?"

Alex sighed and mouthed 'sorry' before turning to face Kat.

"Kat, don't you remember what it was like when you first arrived. He also just got interrogated by The anti-emo trinity."

"She means those three bitches talking to you. Don't cross them. They also hate emos if you haven't guessed from the name." A boy about Caine's age,16, with red and black hair looked at him. He was leaning against the cupboard with a pipe his hand. Caine noticed he was also very attractive. No doubt a lady's man, he thought scornfully.
"My name is Jordan. Impressive stunt you pulled in the hall." He put the pipe back in his mouth but carried on observing Caine. He felt his cheeks redden from the intensity of his gaze, and turned away before Jordan would see.

"I,uh, think I ought to change.." Caine said,
"And I really need to find my little brother."

"Jordan or Andreas should fit your size," Alex said as she turned on the TV," on second thought, Jordan. Take him to your room would you? And get him something to eat. I raided your stash, sorry. "
Jordan nodded and beckoned Caine out the door.

"Doesn't talk much, does he?" Caine heard Kat say as he walked out of the room. Caine heard Alex smack her.

They walked in silence, dodging adults and students that walked past. The corridors were presumably all white, judging from the ones they walked along. Each door had a number, and they stopped outside number 44. The door was painted black, with lime green skulls decorating the corners.
