As I was dragged into the prison, I was surrounded by hundreds of intimidating girls and boys my age who had committed some if the most outrageous crimes. How was I going to survive here?

There was a line, about ten to fifteen of us being led into the Young Offenders Jail, with numerous officers surrounding us. I took in what I saw before me. Passing each cell I noticed familiar faces: Raven, she was about eighteen and was kicked out of college in her second year for beating another girl with a hammer. Then I noticed Ciara, she was in my college form until she was sent to TYOJ (The Young Offenders Jail) for throwing a knife at the Home Ec teacher.

I didn't belong here. I wasn't like all these people who had beat other kids half to death or had vandalised every local property. I was innocent.

"362 over here."
Yep that was me.
I walked forward and approached a 6 foot, muscular guy who seemed about a year older than me. No doubt he was good looking, with his black hair that flicked over his deep grey eyes. I didn't realise I had zoned out and entered my own daydream until he spoke to me.

"Oi midget, you gonna go in your cell or not?" He said in a rough tone.
"Midget? The eff do you think your talking to?" I said, not realising the jail falling almost silent.
"I think I am talking to who doesn't know how to behave in society and is thus in a prison of misfits. And by midget I mean short, don't tell me your a l'idiote as well."
I shot him an evil look.
"And I think I am talking to someone who thinks they're better than everyone cuz they said one word in French." I began.
He opened his mouth to say something before I cut him off.
"Me pas me prende pour un idiot Yeux Gris. Se moquer de moi à nouveau et il va y avoir plus de ces barres entre nous."

Translation-Do not mistake me for a fool Grey Eyes. Make fun of me again and there is going to be more than bars between us.

I snatched the pile of clothes he had in his hands and left him with his jaw wide open.

That was the first day I met Grayson Hyland. And it certainly wasn't the last either.
