I wake up and look at the clock. 6:55 am. Five minutes until everyone else is awake. I lay there deep in my thoughts. Three more months until I get out of here. It's only been one so far. It feels like it's been a lifetime.
Someone comes by and knocks loudly on my door to signal me to get up. I slowly rise from my bed and slip on my socks and shoes. I change into my white t-shirt and fix my hair through the reflection of the doorknob.
I open the heavy door out of my room and walk down the chilling hallway. I see Zoe and give her a gentle smile.
"Hey, Troye! How are you doin today?" She says.
"Okay." Is all I say back to her. He makes an O shape with her mouth. She understands that I'm not actually okay.
We walk into the dining area together and I only grab a banana while she loads her plate with eggs and toast. We sit down at a table with Alfie.
"Troye love, you need to eat more. They will make you stay longer if you don't eat." Zoe says concerned and Alfie nods his head.
"I'm fine, Zoe. Don't worry about me." I say opening my banana and taking a bite. She just sighs and starts talking to Alfie once again.
When we finish eating, we go to the common room. We wait for our doctors to call us in to see how our progress is doing. Zoe and Alfie play checkers while I read a book that I have already read 3 times before. Not much of a selection.
I am deep in my book when Zoe nudges me with her elbow. I look up at her and she nods toward the nurses' desk. There is a tall boy standing there with jet black hair and skinny jeans.
"He's new! We should be friends with him!" Zoe says clapping her hands. I shrug and go back to reading my book.
When I finish reading, I look up and notice Zoe and Alfie are both gone and I am one of the only two left in the room. I sigh and lean back in my seat closing my eyes, waiting for my name to be called.
It feels like someone is staring at me so I open my eyes. I jump a bit when I realize the boy from earlier is sitting directly in front of me, searching my eyes. His cute outfit turned into our what, feels like, a prison uniform. Sweatpants with no string and a white t-shirt.
Before either of us could say anything, I hear my name being called by one of the nurses.
