Cockroach Chick

Chapter 3: Life with the fosters

Chapter 3

"Rise and shine girls and boys!" I rubbed my eyes open and slowly dragged my feet to my door, only to slam it shut again, when I found Mrs.Pufferman shouting across the hall for kids to get up. I practically leaped onto my rough mattress and I swear, right as I closed my eyes she threw the door open. "Fuck my life," I muttered silently to myself. "WAKE UP, Ren! We have alot to do, and don't even start to think that I'd forgotten about your punishment!" she snorted at me. Im glad she remembered because I had forgotten entirely.

"Just five more minutes." I begged to her, rolling to my side on the bed.

"NO!" she snapped, "you will wake up this instance and you will get dressed now!" She soon stormed out of my room, slamming the door shut.

I striped myself of my sleepwear and put on an old Invaders Zim T-shirt I had brought in my book bag that last day before I was sent here. I then put on some soccer shorts and sliped on some sneakers, making my way out into the hall.

Lazily making my way into the cafeteria room, I pushed the heavy metal doors open. While I was standing in the line to get breakfest I saw Drue, ahead of the line. He was a really close friend of mine (if not my only freind still alive) I had first met at school, and he got sent here too. I was mighty confident that the only reason he didn't die in the attack accident was because he was too busy in streets filling up walls with graffiti instead of school.

"Hey, Drue!" I shouted over about 14 peoples shoulders.

He turned his head to me, and flipped his hair at me. I laughed and made my way towards him, while everyone complained, and yelled at me to get to the behind of the line.

"Excuse me, but I was here first!" A girl behind me complained. I clenched my fists at the sound of her voice. It was Carly, another one of the few bitches that I really wished was in the school as it burst into flames. She's known for either being seing sticking her tongue down a guys throat or gossiping with the rest of the 'plastics'. How she survived, beats me.

Drue saw the look on my face and decided to awnser her before I did anything we'd both regret. "Hey Carly, is it cool if she back skips me?" he asked, giving her his signature smile.

"Ohh sure, anything for you Drue!" she said (more like purred) seductively while while her fingers twiddled with her hair. I turned red all over. Not because I like him or anything (because I don't) but I hate how all the girls act around him. "Thanks Carly," he chuckled, giving her a sly wink. Now I REALLY wanted to punch her pretty little face. Okay, so maybe I do have a small crush on him, but what ever. He turned back to me and whispered so only I could hear, "she really creeps me out." I laughed as I teased him, "But I thought that's what you liked, Drue?"

We both started laughing hysterically and kept on making our way down the line.

After we picked up our food we sat at an empty table and started eating, by the time he was halfway done, I had finished since I'd only gotten a muffin. He had gotten a plate pilled high with eggs and ham. "You want some?" He said threw a mouth full of food. "No thanks, but I must say, you look very attractive," I said in the most seductive voice possible. He swallowed his food and laughed, his long black bangs covering his face.

"GOOD MORNING GIRLS AND BOYS! PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR FOSTER MOTHER OR FATHER TO RECIEVE YOUR WORK FOR TODAY. WHICH WILL BE CHORES."

We both threw out our trays and curiously made our way to the overseers.
