The next day, some girl called our names. We went to her.
"How do you know us?" I questioned
"I heard your names!" She said
"Yeah.. but.. most importantly.. Why did you call us here?" Zeke said
"I want to help you.." She said
"But who are you?" I asked
"I'm Leslie Janae Hinamay! I was born in Chicago.." She said
"Leslie! That's just a boys name!" I laughed
"Please don't take my name seriously, my father named me.."
"Anyways.. How old are you? How many times you got into prison?" Zeke asked
"Well I'm 15.. as you can see, I was born on January 1st, 2005.. This is my first time in prison, it seems scary in here. My first time here was a complete meltdown!" Leslie said looking by her shoulder to see the frightening faces of prisioners
"How do you got into prison?"
"Well.. Me and my friends were doing drugs in the streets, the police saw us and arrest me and my friends. When we got into jail, we didn't talk to each other again.."
"That's.. sad.." I said with a frown "I have friends.. and they're not proud.." I said with a frown
"I have a family.."
Leslie looked at Zeke.
"Wow.. I felt terrible for you.."
"No need to be.. I think of them when I'm alone.."
"Anyways.. I want to help you escape here! I don't like to be here.. again, there is frightening people here.. I want to escape here with you guys.. Because you guys are the only special around here.. Even when I saw you fight that old guy" She said pointing at me "I wasn't impressed, but I didn't expect you to win.."
"I wasn't expected it either.. but maybe it's all about the fighting with bullies I have for 11 years.." I laughed
"So today is the pointless day.. Our families are going to come, a relative or anyone to come to see our pain while the police tell everything about what we did" Leslie said with boredom
"Of course.. my parents are worrying about this.." Zeke said
"To everyone, yes" I said
We were slient for a while.. until Zeke asked..
"What's your plan to escape?"
"I don't know.. while we discover something.. that'll be our plan to escape.."
"What's the day of the escape?" I asked
"Uh.. Maybe Friday.." Leslie answered
The Annoucement turned on.
"ATTENTION PRISONERS! I WANT YOU GUYS TO LINE UP AT THE WAITING ROOM ASAP! YOUR PARENTS AND OR RELATIVES OR ANYONE ARE HERE TO SEE YOUR POOR DISAPPOINTMENT!"
"Great! More trash!" I thought
We walked into the waiting room, where we wait. So far.. I was nervous.. My parents are not looking forward to this..
Then they call me up.
