I've been here for a week, it's torture. She makes us mop, sweep, dust, cook and then she starts working us.

It's about 11:00 PM when I'm done cleaning all the windows. My roommates were already asleep. I sit on my bed and kick off my shoes, I change into a t-shirt and shorts and I tie my hair back in a simple twist.

My feet were red and throbbing. My whole wardrobe was thrown out to be replaced with old worn out clothes.

I try and make the clothes work but it's difficult. I lay back on my bed and look up at the ceiling. I close my eyes and sleep takes me over

"Get up Lacey!" Damson yells from the other side of the room. I groan and throw the blankets off me.

"I'll save you some bread and a seat at breakfast" damson says leaving. I look around. Zaq wasn't here. I change into my gray old fashioned dress with a white ribbon. My hair falls naturally and I put on my white sandals.

I walk out of my room and into the kitchen, I sit down at the table next to damson and I start eating.

"Okay, listen up! Today's your day off #1 rule don't bother me. I better not even know your here." Ms. B says standing at the end of the table.

We all cheer and the boys pound on the table. "Shut it!" She yells turning her back to us and walking back to her office.

"Wanna hang out with me and Zaq Lacey?" Damson ask butting into his toast. "Uhhhh" I glance at Zaq. He shrugged at me as if saying it's fine. I thought he hated me.... "Yeah okay" I say and put my attention back on the jam I was spreading on my toast.

Why would they invite me? I'm younger then them and not to mention I'm a girl.

After breakfast I join Zaq and damson out side where there was a big field and a forest behind it. The field was perfect for football. "Your my defense shorty Zaqs got ed on his team" damson says referring to a tall red headed 12 year old boy.

"Are you putting her as defense cause it want us to win?" Zaq smirks.

I role my eyes. "Just call the plays" I get down in my form. I was worried about my dress but who cares. I charge at Zaq and we push at eachother for a minute until he wins and I falls back getting dirt in my hair and left cheek.
