Isabella Afton?

Izzy!"

Izzy!"

Isabella!"

Isabella Rose Afton!"

I blink out of my trance and turn to see the whole bus staring at me

"W-What?"

My best friend Isaac rolls his eyes

"Finaly, weve been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes"

They have?

"Oh, I'm sorry.... what do you need?"

A kid leans forward, closer to me

"You're the technical geek arent you?"

I nod and another girl leans forward

"Isnt your father Michael Afton?"

I nod once more and they all gasp, some scooting away from me

"Is it true he is in the prison we are going to?"

I hesitate, shooting Isaac a nervous look

"Y-yeah.."

They all gasp again and start whispering amongst themselves

"Isaac?"

I tug on his sleeve and he looks at me

"Whats up Izzy?"

He is a lot taller than me, standing 6'1" to my 5'3". We are both seniors, though he is 18 while I am 17.

"Why are we going to prison again?"

He shakes his head at my stupidity

"Remember? Its the new school project. The seniors get more college credit if they take the 3 week prison course, which is where we spend the 3 weeks as prisoners in the prison."

I am very confused at this point

"This is BirchWood penatentary though, the most dangerous prison that houses both male and female prisoners. Why the hell would they send us there?"

He shrugs

"Who knows, but im sure we will be well protected Izz, after all, we are only with the only prisoners during mess hall and recreation time. Otherwise we will be seperated."

I nod in understanding

"This still seems stupid though."

"You signed up for it."

"Touche"

He laughs and ruffles my hair, then turns his attention back to the book he had been reading

"Isabella?"

I look at the student who got my attention, Alice, I think her name is

"Call me Izzy. What do you need?"

"Okay, Izzy. Do you and youre father have a good relationship? Will you have scary prison guys backing you up due to your father?"

I shudder

"I sincerely hope not. Dad and I had a kind of strained relationahip. I had no idea he was doing what he was doing until it was too late, and he never really made any effort to communicate with me, so..."

She nods in understanding

"That makes sense I guess. Im Alice, and I promise im not talking to you just because your father is who he is. I was just curious"

I smile at her

"Ask me anything. Im an open book about him. I dont believe in hiding the truth. Want to hang out sometime in prison. I am kind of lonely"
