living without mum

chapter five- room mates

I really just wanted to lay on my new bed for the rest of the day and fall into a deep slee and never wake u, but know that cannot happen i needed to get up find out more about niddy and pansy and find out about the rest of the care home. This sounded great. Ow.

"So, whens lunch?" I sat up as ii asked Niddy and Pansy together.

"Look, i dot wanna be mean you seem nice enough, but being nice doesn't get you nowhere round here and im sure Niddy might have mentioned this. Dont try to make 'friends' with the other kids here, you dont know them or there pst and they dont know yours. Things seem to be easier that way. Niddy is my sister and we stick together, do as i say and things will be easier for you and i will look out for you. Piss me off and you wont just ave the other kids to deal with! Clear?" Woah ok, not what i was expecting from Pansy at all. Now what do i say. Thanks? Therewas no need she already started to speak.

"Lunch is in like 10 minutes so fix up. Niddy explain the rules, I'm out" Niddy came and sat on my bed making sure there was a good distance between us.

"Just follow me, Make sure your about a meter behind me, wait till every body has sat down and you will sit in any spare, if there isn't onen sit on the floor. Don't moan. Don't talk. Don't make eye contact. those are the simple rules of survival here, so stick by them" I'm really not going to survive here.

"I-I um OK" I was really stumped for words, one minute i was leaving the car of the horrible doctor and Josh's who i now wanted  to forget about and now i was being warned not to do such things as not make eye contact and sit on the floor at lunch just to survive. without my mum i'm not sure i really want to survive.

"Come on then. And remember stay a meter behind me" I silently sniggerd. She didn't even know me yet she didn't want to be seen with, how horrible could the other children be?

Stupid question.

There was a big open room with a long table from top to bottom. It fitted about 25 people on. Everybody looked up as i entered the room like i was somebody with a big blob on my head. I kept my head down and literally ran straight to the last spare seat at the table. I was surrounded by boys. the on to my left looked about 15 and was quite good looking with a perfect smile birght blue eyes and cute little dimples. The boy infront of me was much less to be desired, not tht he was ugly but compared to him he was pretty bad. His teeth were a little off and he was a little pale, but his swishy dirty blond hair made up for it. He seemed to be my age, what could go wrong here?

I peeked down to the rest of the children who had now started eating there sandwiches so i picked u one of my quarter ham sandwiches. Within a split second i seen a hand reach over to my plate, i looked up to see the owner of this big hand.

It was the beautiful boy to my left. Look can be deceiving as i realised he was stealing my sandwhich, i started to search for Niddy, but she was nowhere to be found it was down to me now. go for it i toold my self.

"Hey tats my sandwich what the hell?" I looked him straight in the eyes trying to put on a brave face.

Without a second thought he lifted up his hand and slapped me across my cheek, so hard my eyes started to water, but i knew crying got you nowhere so i just held my cheek and walked out of my room, nobody had said anything. Was that normal? Where on earth were the adults? All sorts was running through my mind and i could hardly think, so i did what i did best; cried.

I crawled up into a little ball and lay on my bed bawling my eyes out. I must have been there for hours.

"Get  up!" Said a husky voice. I sat up immediatly to see the boy who slapped me from earlier. My  whole body started to shake iin terror.

"You need to be put into your place. If i want to take your sandwich then i will. you do not question me. I own tthis place! Your new so i figured you didn't know so you got off lightly today, make any mistakes in the future and things will be hell for you!" With that he helft the room slaming the door shut behind him.

I was frightend. It was either starve or my life be hell and to me non of them sounded to appealing to me. I wanted to ask Niddy about him but i still didn't know if i can trust her or not and especially with Pansy around. I guess i'll have to wait.

"I warned you!" Niddy said as she approached her bed. I looked up with her with my rawr red eyes.

"He took my sandwich what was i supposed to do?"

"Nothing. you quicky grab what you can and let him take whatevers left"

"Thats Stupid. Where are the adults?"

"He is the sos boss so he practically 'looks after' us" My life really will be hell.

"Its not just him you have to watch your bac with. Its everybody"

im really not happy with this im so sorry guys its just because my laptop has broke and whenever i get the chance on the internet i try to rush one for you guys, thankyou for being patient and like i said before SORRY.
