((1 week later))
Sabrina has been getting on my nerves. I've never been so irritated by someone's existence. She watches me everytime I'm with Yazz's crew, she waits by my bunk at count to bombard me on what a mistake I am making, telling me she asked me about my sexuality first and should get priority, all the signs of a toxic person using manipulation tactics to make me play her game. I remember the social worker's words from my childhood.
I spend all my time with Yazz unless I'm on job assignment.
"Camila! Great news!"
"What is it Yazz?"
"Your bunk transfer was successful! You'll be joining me and the girls in no time!" Oh yes, Yazz applied for a bunk transfer on my behalf, with no acknowledgement of why. "May I ask why you needed it so badly?" There we have it, the dreaded question.
"Ok... Sabrina, she acts too toxic towards me, she's mad at me for flirting with you."
"What a bitch. Want to fuck with her?"
"What, no!"
"Not like that Camila, but good to know where your heads at." She winks at me, "I mean mess with her, get her sent to another facility so she cant bother you."
"Uhm only YES!" What have I turned into... I've just openly agreed to mess with someone's life with no hesitation. Despite the fact Sabrina has been almost harassing me for my life choices... Ok I guess I get it.
"Ok, I have an idea. It's the same way I tried to get rid of Maralee, but the bitch caught me and framed her quiet bunkie. So as long as no one catches us, we should pull this off."
"What actually is the plan?"
"Well, you and I will need to create an obvious distraction so Sabrina doesn't catch what's happening." She lets her hand run across my arm in a way that screams flirty. "Then while Sabrina is focused on us, Indah will go through and place contaban in her bunk, like, prison shanks made out of toothbrushes and razors, along with a couple of pills, Tammy and Linda will stand guard to make sure no one else catches Indah. Then when a random search happens..." She winks at me, I know exactly why she made it to be in the prison top bitches crew.
"And how do we get a random search before Sabrina finds out?" There was only one flaw in the plan.
"That's when you come in solo. When the officers do the count near your bunk, whisper a little lie to them which triggers them to conduct a random search."
"Ok, this outta be fun." The fact I find the idea fun scares me, only 2 months ago I would be watching TV with a bowl of cereal in my hand keeping quiet, now... I'm fucking with peoples lives in prison. Yazz takes my face cupped in her hands, and pulls me closer to her. She lets her lips come in contact with mine, so warm and so soft. Her hand gently runs down my arm and our fingers interlock, moving me gently against a wall all the while gripping my hand.
((Later in the day, close to the last count))
It's almost count, Yazz wanders into C dorm, I catch Sabrina staring at me, I get up and walk over to Yazz leaving the dorm, we stand in the hall far enough away from the dorm so that when it's time, Yazz's crew aren't suspicious. Yazz takes me by the hands, I find her really attractive, I wonder what It would be like to date her. Just as my thoughts consume me I see Sabrina watching, arms folded, foot tapping, dagger eyes. Yazz and I exchange a passionate kiss, dare I say make out, every so often I open the corner of my eye ever so slightly to watch the jealousy rise in Sabrina's face. Indah taps me on the shoulder, Yazz touches my thigh and pulls away,
"Until tomorrow." She winks before walking off with her crew.
"You tease!" I yell down to her, I hear her giggles and end up smiling shyly. Sabrina makes her way to the dorm, I follow behind not looking suspicious.
"So, Yazz teased you eh? I would never." Sabrina back at it again. Her hand touches my face, it's soft, but that's not the point. I dodge it the best I can until I feel a pinch. "Now now don't move. You and I both know I wanted you from day 1. What does she have that I don't?"
"Respect. She never forces herself onto me, she never tries to manipulate me, or guilt trip me, she's been nothing but respectful, maybe that's all I needed in order to realise I could in fact fall for a woman." Wow I'm a whole savage now.
"Maybe this'll change your mind." She leans in to kiss me. My reflexes are amazing, one slap to her face, and one slap to the hand still on mine. "What the fuck Camila?!"
"Don't you EVER disrespect me like that." Maralee's whole gang staring at me, with... proud eyes?
"Inmates! Count time!" Officer McDonaldson is conducting tonight's count, that eases some minor worries I have, she comes across easy to talk too. Every one of us gathered at our bunks. I hear the clicks as she walks past each bunk, finally reaching mine.
"Officer..." I whisper quiet enough that only she hears.
"Yes Inmate?" She catches on and whispers back.
"Sabrina has been lifting her mattress alot lately... If it's any consolation I thought I saw something silver being put under."
"No inmate! You may not have extra phone time. I don't care what the situation is." She winks at me, playing it off so I don't get called up on being a snitch again. She finishes the count and everyone starts to walk towards the dorm exit, just before anyone can leave. Some officers I don't know swarm in.
"Random search!" They part ways into all directions, throwing things off the shelves, pulling up mattresses, demanding we open our lockers. One officer can be heard above all the commotion, yelling at Sabrina,
"Inmate Dillas! Two weapons and some pills? I don't think so!" Sabrina looks around in panic as two officers cuff her and drag her out. "You are headed upcity inmate, think twice next time." Sabrina kicks and screams, I think to myself... bye bye bitch. Maralee and I exchange a look, she mouths to me 'did you do this?' and so I nod and mouth back 'sort of', I can't lie, I mean technically I didn't, but would it be right to dob Indah in? Probably not. Her crew all give me a thumbs up with a mini cheer. All was right with the world, the gang who beat me, cheered me.
