I didn't sleep one bit that night. I was freaked out like hell. The lights turned on earlier then usual. It was only six forty five am. People stirred and woke up. They were blinded by the bright light. I looked and saw Evan giving me dirty looks. I ignored him and sunk into the couch. I was restless. It made me so angry that they call us Subjects. We're not objects. We're human beings.

They wouldn't like it if we called them Subjects and started doing experiments on them. I looked around again and saw Evan still giving me dirty looks. "What's your problem?" I asked him. "Where have you been going jurying the night?" He asked still shooting me dirty looks.

"I don't know what your talking about." I said. "Yes you don't lie! I've seen you for the past two nights going up in the vents and going places, where are you going huh?" He asked me. Everyone stared. "What are you talking about Evan?" Avery asked. "I'm talking about her sneaking out." He hissed. I narrowed my eyes.

"Non of your god damn business." I scowled. He narrowed his eyes. He got up and punched me. "Tell me you fucking bitch tell me!" He yelled hitting me rapidly. I kicked him in the gut and bitch slapped him. He kicked me in the gut and as he tried choking me I elbowed him in the nose and he staggered backwards clutching his nose. "What are you hiding!" He yelled swing his arm at me.

He hit me in the cheek and I grabbed his arm twisting it and punching him straight in his right eye and then in the other as hard as I could. He tripped me up and punched me and kneeled down and punched me again. I whacked him across the head kneed him in the gut. There was a click. I got up and pulled him into a headlock and kicked him in the nuggets and held him in tight headlock.

"Let him go!" Someone yelled. It was Janson and he pulled me off Evan and I narrowed my eyes. I saw Steve who was standing outside the door ready to serve our breakfast. "First the Cameras and now this." He hissed. Evan smirked and I gave him a hard punch to the head and he was out. Jansons jaw clenched.

"At least we're taking him next." He said between gritted teeth. Two people grabbed him by his arms and legs and dragged him out. "Didn't I tell you to stay out of trouble." He said narrowing his eyes. "You told everyone that." I pointed out. "Yes and especially to you." He said. Four people came in with boxes of tools and began working on the cameras. Janson stared at me one last time and left.

Steve came in and began preparing breakfast. I looked to see the tool box open and the guy looked down at me. "Pass me the wrench kid." He said. I gave him a puzzled look. "It's the big sliver thing and it says wrench on it." He said sighing. I looked in the tool box and handed him the so called wrench. It was made of steel. It was big enough. He handed it back down to me and when no one was looking I stuffed it in the back pocket of the inside of my pants and hit it underneath my shirt and jacket. It was cold against my skin.

Steve served us our breakfast and I ate the bread and drank the water and handed them back to him. The people who fixed the cameras finished and left. The red light came back up again. I handed Steve my plate and stared at the camera that was pointed directly at me. Nobody spoke. The air was tense.

People were deep in thought others were just looking around bored. At around twelve the doors clicked open and we saw Janson. "Today we decided to treat you all and we decided to let you have a shower. After a week they let us shower. Woohoo. "And some of you must be on best behaviour." He said shooting me a look. "Follow me." He said. We followed him and went down several corridors.

We finally came to a stop and he entered the code and slid his card and revealed the showers. "Girl's to left boys to the right." He said. "And we'll collect your clothes and wash them and dry so you have one hour." He said and left. We looked at other and went different ways. I took off my clothes and as the other girls were in the showers I grabbed the wrench and brought it with me and put it slowly and carefully down on the tiles of the shower and showered. They actually had stuff to make you smell nice. I put the things called Shampoo and conditioner on my hair and put the thing called body wash on my body. I felt fresher.

As I washed them all off and I turned off the shower and grabbed my towel and dried off. I hid the wrench underneath the towel along with my hand and used the other hand to hold my towel up. I went to the opposite side of the girls in the locker room and saw my clothes clean and dry. I put the wrench down carefully and dried off quickly and threw my clothes on and hid the wrench. I looked down at my watch and it was exactly One o'clock. I put on my shoes and brushed my knotty hair and looked in the mirror. I looked much cleaner.

I had a few cuts and a small few bruises and a bit of a busted lip but I looked ok. My hair was ombré faded wavy colour and I had chocolate brown eyes. I tied my hair in which I believe is called a plait. For some reason I knew how to do it. My body must be used to me doing It.

I exited the bathroom and and waited outside with the others. Janson came back a minute later and took us back to the room and The room smelt nicer as well. Probably cleaned it and sprayed stuff in here. Steve fed us and he looked at me the whole time. I swallowed my grapes and bread and drank the water and he was stunned. "Finally your eating." He said with a cry of joy. I grinned.

Once Steve left we all sat in silence and it was like that for the rest of the day.
