Chapter 10:
I silently followed Nettie down the hall. The halls were soaked from the pipe explosion. I've almost slipped like 10 times! But Nettie never noticed and kept her pace walking ahead wether I was behind her or not.
"So how old are you?" I asked trying to break the silence. "17," she answered without even blinking. "So what's your story?" I asked wondering why the heck so many young kids are working for this "boss". "My parents died in a car accident. Some driver was driving on the wrong side of the road hit them straight on and died as fast as they did," she continued to keep walking never slowing down. "Oh I'm sorry," I looked down at the floor as my feet splashed through the puddles. "Ya well I'm over that! It's been over 2 years," she almost sounded heartless.
"So you don't care?? " I tried to cover up how shocked I sounded but it was indefinite. "Of course I care! Well, at least about my mom. My so called dad was only my step dad he was some bum drunk that my mom married. And she only did it for the money. His parents own 1/4 of Apple so they are millionaires." She explained. How sad! I would hate that! I'm glad my mom just stayed single!!
"So where are you from?" I asked. This time she stopped to look at me. She looked stern with a hint of annoyance. "Do you ever shut up?" Now she was very annoyed. I just looked at my feet. "When I'm asked to," I answered sheepish. Her face went blank then look up and down the hallways.
She grabbed me by the shoulders and leaned next to my ear "Listen up pip squeak," she whispered, "The boss is known to "take kids in" after their parents die. Wether he causes them no one knows. But then you showed up. And rumor has it you still have a mom and brother. Alex says you were taken against your will. Why did the boss care so much for you again another mystery. But all I care about is my new family. You have been causing some trouble with them and if it weren't for the fact that my favorite brother, Alex, likes you so much I would of refused to help you."
She leaned back. I just stared at her. What the heck just happened? "Locker rooms to your left. Shower then find locker 5. You will find new clothes and famine products. If I'm correct your due soon," she talked to me like I was her younger sister. I nodded, and turned for the showers barely able to hold my excitement.
Showering was like a step closer to normal again. Although, I had to scrub my self for a half hour before all the dirt was off. It was nasty!! I pulled a blue "go big or go home" Texas tee shirt over my head. Comfy! I also got a new pair of spandex, soffees and everything in between. III pushed the many knots out of my hair then braided it into a Dutch braid that wrapped around my head. When I was finished I slowly walked out in to the hallway.
Not to my surprise, there was Alex leaning against the wall waiting for me. He whistled. "Wow you clean up nice!" He stood in awe. "Why thanks!" I gave him a fake curtsy then winked. He laughed. "Well are you ready for your next lesson Cinderella?" He laughed shaking his head. That's when everything hit me. I'm still in hell.
