3. You'll Find Good Friends In Even The Worst Of Places

Sophia woke up,gasping,and tried to get up. Only she couldn't.

Wait.

Her hat. It was gone. She struggled again,before realizing that hands were pinning her down. She looked up and saw Jeff standing over her,holding her down. She covered her head up unsuccessfully. "Please don't tell anyone," she begged him. He laughed and shook his head. "I won't," he promised. "Hey,look,a TV," Sophia said,then tried to reach up to the television,before a stabbing pain went through her nerves. A pain pump was attached to her wrist. Then she used her other arm to press the POWER ON button. Immediately,a high-pitched voice resonated through the speakers,and she gasped. She hadn't even realized that there were other kids in the beds next to hers. One boy looked obviously scared,and the other boy twitched. They were both thirteen. "Hey," she said,trying to get the twitching kid's attention. "Do you like SpongeBob Squarepants?" He turned his head and looked up at the screen,where SpongeBob and Patrick Star,his best friend,were annoying Squidward Tentacles,their crabby neighbour. "Yeah," the kid rasped, "I love this show." He had pale grayish skin and messy brunette hair. Then he turned to Sophia and began to squeal. "Omigosh Omigosh Omigosh you're a Neko!" He reached over and petted her large brown ears and stopped twitching. "They're furry," he whispered in awe. He snapped back to reality. "My name's Sophia Corey," she introduced herself,"which means wisdom in the Greek language. But I'm actually a complete idiot in real life." The boy smiled. "My name's Toby Rogers. I twitch a lot and can't feel pain."  Jeff stuck his head in. "I'm Jeffrey Woods," he said. "Sophia's my friend and we're the same age." Sophia turned to the other boy,who was blonde. He turned to look at her. He had completely black eyes with a red pupil. A black liquid was running down his face. "I like your eyes," she said in an effort to cheer him up. His demeanour changed completely. His eyes widened,and a large grin was plastered on his face. "Really? Wow,thanks! No one's ever said anything about my eyes." She smiled. "As you may have heard, I'm Sophia Corey. I'm a Neko." The blonde still smiled. "I'm Ben Durrell," he said. "I'm in here because of my dad." Sophia frowned. "Tried to drown you?" she asked. Ben stared at her,astonished. "How did you know?" He looked shocked. "Just a guess."

Ben yelped in pain. "The nurses won't give me a pain pump," he spat. "They won't go near me."

Sophia ripped the tube out of her arm and held Ben's arm out,then stabbed the tube in. A tingle of pleasure vibrated down her spine as the tube ripped through his flesh. She trapped the pain pump and hit the pump to send a wave of narcotics to him.

Ben grinned. "Thanks." Sophia smiled and put her hand in a fist. "Gimme a brofist."

"Why?"

" 'Cause you're my friend."

"Gladly."

Then Sophia turned to Jeff. "Jeff. Gimme a brofist 'cause you're my friend." He gave her a brofist and smiled.

"TobyTobyTobyTobyToby," she hissed. "Gimme a brofist 'cause you're my friend." He grinned and brofisted her. "I'm friends with a Neko. Yesyesyesyesyes!" He did a little dancing motion with his hands.

Then the door opened,and guess who stood there?

Randy and his cronies.
