Sinister secrets

So many people.

Caspar pov

Sometimes I wished I could drive because that car was spectacular even though the lights freaked me out.

We all went inside still not talking to each other, and I wandered into the kitchen hoping to find some pasta or soup only to find 2 massive takeaway pizzas sitting on the counter.

I grabbed them and took them through to the living room where I thought the others were.

"PIZZA!!!!"I yelled walking in.

Everyone seemed to cheer except for one boy who was really thin but I ignored it and put the pizzas down.

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves?"said one girl she was fairly short with light brown hair.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

We were all sat on the couches in the room which were so close together there was just a little square in each corner of the room blocked off by couches.

"Well I'm Caspar I was born in England but came here from South Africa."I said "I'm 17 and I got sent here because I'm the least smart child they thought they should keep the kid with the better chance in life."I finished "who's next"

"I'll go."the other girl said "I'm Zoe I'm 18 and I'm from Brighton in England. My parents sent me away because I kept getting panic attacks in school and they couldn't deal with my panic attacks and my brothers bad behaviour so they sent me away." Her eyes were watering now so the other girl who must be Tanya since there is only two girls hugged her

"Well I'm Tanya I'm also 18 and my parents thought that we should be focusing on religion and the path to god rather than proper school subjects and I'm atheist so I didn't agree with that so they sent me away." Tanya said after finishing her hug with Zoe.

"Fair enough"replied one of the boys "I'm Marcus and I dropped out of school at 16 because what I want to do I don't need the qualifications for and my parents didn't agree with it and sent me away at the first chance they got. Oh, and I'm 17."
Everyone seemed to be here for similar reasons but that might change. I thought to myself.

"I'm Alfie I'm 18 and well, m-m."his lip quivered and he held his head in his hands and took a deep breath before exhaling and starting again "my parents abused me my whole life and I couldn't just leave since they could find me so I wrote to teensmove (the organisation from the start) and explained my situation. So they moved me away and parents have no idea where." he finished smiling I smiled at him and then one of the last three no last two wait shouldn't it be three?

"Hi I'm phil .""wait,"I interrupted phil

"What is it Caspar?"Zoe asked me

"Shouldn't there be 8 of us?"I asked looking around and only counting 7 including myself.

"Oh that kid with the tattoos isn't here."she replied "I wonder where he is?"

Just that second a hand shot up from between the couches and waved at us. Phil yelped when he seen it and the others looked confused so I crawled to the other side of the sofa and seen a body attached to the hand.
It was the kid and he had a laptop which he was scrolling through.

"Why hello there!"I said he just smiled at me "and what are you doing down there exactly?"
He lifted his laptop and pulled a wire I hadn't noticed before that was attached to the wall.

"Oh okay well as long as you know who everyone is-"I stopped since he had turned his laptop round and opened a document it had pictures of each of us and our names. But what confused me was how he knew who everyone was even the ones who hadn't introduced themselves yet.
