Student Take Over

The home

Pic of Truman and Dylan

The authorities come rushing through the entrance to , what is actually pronounced as , H-E-B. Three authority men walk in . One looking in his mid forties , with grey hair and round torso, average height , and a fairly pale complexion . The second being very skinny and young looking in the face, but his body says other wise, who was white and short  . The third man looked strong and was tall , he seemed to be no older then thirty and has a darker skin tone then the others he was with .
" drop your , um ...... grocery items!" Says one of the men pointing a gun at us but his finger wasn't on the trigger . Instead it was placed on the side of the gun .  We waste no time and drop everything. I look over at Dylan on my left and see him studying the men .
" why are you staring like that ?" I ask.
"Because, they are pointing fucking guns at us . What am I supposed to do pretend they don't have a loaded weapon pointed at me ?." He says not taking his eyes of the guys . His eyes switch around from each authority figure.
"What's in the bag ?" A man asks walking up to me .
"It's nothing important." I say trying to act as calm as possible.
" Show me . Because if it is nothing , then you don't have to hide it do you ?" He asks .
" No sir ." I say . With my arms shaking I slowly unzip the backpack. His grip around the gun tightens and points the gun to me .
"Why the hell do you have guns ? And what are yo wearing ?" He asks pointing at the spin blades around my torso.
" just come with us ." Says another authority member waving towards the doors. We follow as he points to the vehicles.
"Get in ." He says hoping into the drivers seat . He was the third man .
We still have everything from the H-E-B as we walk towards the car .

"First of all , why are we getting into a strangers vehicle ? Second , we all don't fit in one and how do we know they won't separate us for good ? How do we know they don't work for the committee ? What if-"
" Kaylynn shut the hell up , and follow us ." Says josh only loud enough for our group to hear .  We all start to get into one vehicle , knowing we won't all fit correctly, we squeeze and force the door shut .
"What the ? Get out ! Three per car , not all six of you ! " says an authority member.
"Don't listen to the authority members. Stay together in this vehicle  ." I say .
"You know those are officers right? And this is a car . In law we learned a lot more term for things . You don't have to call it a vehicle or them an authority member. " says Truman . It's sounds strange . I never knew there were other names , but with this information I will start to use it.
"Then don't listen to the officer ." I say .
"Or cop." Says Truman .
"Cop" I say rolling my eyes .
"Get out! Now let's go!" Says the cop getting out of the car and pulling open one of our doors .
He grabs Kaylynn by the arm and yanks her out following Alyssa, then Truman .
" Do not put your hands on them like that ! That is not okay and you know that !" Says Dylan grabbing the officers arm. The officer smacks Dylan in the face .
"Don't ever touch me again . Do you understand? I have the right to shoot you in head boy ." He says pointing to his gun.
"But you won't . Not with the supposed race-hate crimes . A black officer shooting a white kid . That won't look good would it ?" Says Truman helping Alyssa up from the pavement .
"He might get hate but I won't . So shut the fuck up and get into my car . " says the first officer walking towards Truman .
"You wouldn't dare hurt us ! If what we told you is true, which it is , about the whole shelter for kids thing that we had to fight for our lives , you better know we know how to put up a good fight . We won't let you treat us this way . We have done nothing wrong ! You act as if we did , but we didn't . Only called and warned you!" I say to the officers .
" Lucas don't . They still have our weapons and we have no way to fight them off . " Dylan says whispering in my ear .
"But its six to three." I say whispering back . He wacks my arm and gives me a look as if saying shut up. We split up and get in the cars . Two officers in this car and one in the other . Dylan , josh and I are in this , while the others are in the other car . The drive is at least five minutes long and the entire time we keep quiet . I can't help but let my eyes wonder though , seeing all the lights and buildings everywhere. It's unlike anything I have ever seen before. Once we arrive the police get out and open the doors for us .
"Follow me ." Says the first officer as we entire a building . The sign reads Police station.
"Why are we here?" Asks Josh. The cop doesn't answer and continues leading us forwards .
We get to this room with a few chairs at a rectangular table .
"We are gonna run some blood tests and try to find out where you're from and what y'all are doing ." Says an officer .
They run tests and after hours of interviews and getting examined by medical professionals a man walks in with short dark hair with a blue button up and khaki pants . He is a tall and slender man . His face is long and slim .
"Hey guys we need to talk ." He says as he takes a seat at one of the chairs at the table . I look over at Dylan and he looks exhausted. Eyes droopy, face flushed , and fighting to stay awake . "Ok so we can't find anything on y'all . We can't find blood connection anywhere . We don't know where you could possibly be from . All we know is you're probably super tired and ready for some sleep . But , we are going to put y'all in foster care . We know -"
"No the fuck you are!" Says Kaylynn.
"Yeah we are family ! You can't separate us!" I say . Dylan is instantly wide awake .
"Actually, none of you are blood related." Says the man . We can tell he is trying to be empathetic but that doesn't make up for what's happening. He tells us to grab our belongings and follow him .
" No. I'm going to make myself clear when I say not a single one of us is leaving the other . If Truman , Kaylynn , Dylan , Joshua , and I were adopted without Alyssa we would do whatever we could to get her with us . No matter what gets in our way we will not leave a single person behind , so unless you can ensure that you won't let one be adopted without the other then we will not even think about going with you. Do I make myself clear ?" I say staring the men in his eyes the whole time . I could even feel the anger in my words as flew from my mouth . Like a dragon spitting fire .
" Crystal . Now please follow me . I can promise you will stay together . "He says as he walks away towards the door . We follow and he leads us down the hall .

June 23rd 2017

"Hey D could you pass me a slice ?" I say as I kick back on couch and throw my feet on the coffee table in the game room of the foster care . We live in a three story building that is designed to look and feel like a real home . The game room has a large tv in the wall with several different gaming consoles. There is a fridge with snacks and drinks and since tonight is Friday it's movie night . We are allowed to get to order pizza and wings with liters of soda and cinnamon sticks with a cinnamon based glaze dipping sauce . "Sure but turn down the damn music !" Says Dylan as he puts the pizza on the paper plate . I currently had my phone plugged into the game room surround sound  speakers . "Coming out your mouth with your blah blah blah , zip your lip like a padlock !" I say singing along to the Ke$ha song 'Blah Blah Blah' playing while shoving my hand having it talk like a puppet in his face.
"Did you just insult me with Kesha lyrics?" Dylan says laughing .
" yes I did!" I say laughing with him . I skip the song and then one that Dylan absolutely loves comes on .
"Now and then I think of when we were together!!!!!!" He says screaming along with the song .
"Ugh Change it !" Says Alyssa.
" yeah play real music Lucas ." Says josh .
"Sorry that not all of like your crapy music with loud obnoxious yelling and talking about how women are objects and we are only good because we have boobs and a vagina . Like we are people too." Says Kaylynn to josh as Alyssa fist bumps her . It's funny how we have changed since coming here . For example I grew out my hair . I kept the sides short of course but the top can now reach the my bottom lip . I also got it bleached and toned so it was a platinum blonde for a while but it's now lost the tone and more a natural yellow blonde with my roots coming back in my natural gold color , or as Kaylynn called it  ombré. Alyssa got a haircut too , she trimmed up the sides and left the top a decent length . Her hair is still super dark and she has started Taekwondo . Not that she really needs it swing as how she was a really good fighter already . Her flexibility and agility help her out . Kaylynn left her hair alone and still has it mid back and her beautiful gold color . She is in gymnastics and doing all kinds of flips and things there . Dylan got a job at an auto shop as assistant and helping out there for the most part . Josh said "if you don't do anything then your schedule is always clear and you are free to do whatever you want " . Me I got a basic job that's fun . I work at Starbucks coffee . It's nice because I just make myself drinks all day while I work . Haha I'm literally addicted ! Truman still has his normal haircut and we finally got him another pair of glasses since he last fell on his shattering the others . Instead of going to work , or being free all the time like josh , he decided to work on his school studies . So he is learning physics and algebra 2 and all kinds of crazy things . "What you mean ? I know women aren't objects ! If anything talk to Lucas about Kyndalyn! Where's she at ?" He asks  knowing exactly what happened.
"Oh fuck off josh . We wouldn't have lasted anyway ."
I growl at him .
" what about you Dylan ? Your girlfriend? Sarah was it ?" Josh asks pushing .
"We broke up a while back . Like a week before we left the shelter . Didn't you and Katy have a thing ?" Says Dylan .
"Um no !" He says turning beat red . He was so embarrassed he even started sweating .
" let's see , Moana or kidnap ? " asks Alyssa trying to change the subject.
"Ugh not Moana ! We've  watched that at least a thousand times ! Let's watch kidnap . " says Dylan .
We watch kidnap and after yelling at the tv saying things like " lady why would you do that ?! Ugh be smarter !!! Jesus turn around !" We finally went to bed . Dylan and I still shared a room . It was a huge room he had a bed in one corner and me in the other . He had fox flags and model cars all over . They were all super old models that are vintage and retro . Then Josh and Truman's  room was down the hall three doors away from the bathroom . Then Alyssa and Kaylynn's room is two to the left of us . It's strange how I can't ever fall asleep easy here . I don't think a single one of us can . Even during the blacklist I could kinda sleep , but not here . We're lucky if we get any sleep .
