Escape Plan

Welcome Back!

The elevator doors opened and we walked down a dimly lit hallway. He scanned his lanyard on the scanner and the doors opened. Almost everybody was in bed given it was 9:41pm but a few were chatting or in the bathroom still getting ready for bed. Everyone's voices ceased when we walked in and I saw that Lemon and Soapsuds were sitting on Smacks bed and they were all talking. Smack's bed was on the very right, the last bed in the row. We all made eye contact and they smiled. "You may go get ready for bed." He said in a stern voice that clearly was meant for a "yes sir" back so, I said yes sir and grabbed my suitcase and grabbed a pair of pajamas. I changed and came out but Mr. Jay had already left and my friends were on my bunk. They were tucking down my bed, how sweet. I came back and they hugged me and asked where I'd been. "Where have you been?!" Soapsuds asked quickly. "Ya! You scared the crap out of us!!!" Lemon said. "Well, I was on my way to a meeting with Mr. Jay and I got my job and then I apparently said something wrong and he tightened my bracelet" they looked at my wrist with the cast then at the other wrist that didn't have the bracelet on it still. I saw they were overflowing with questions so I stopped to let them ask. "Is that what that cast is for?!" Lemon asked. "Where's your bracelet now?" Smack asked. "Ok my bracelet is right here." I said as I pulled it out of my pocket. Then I put it back in my pocket and moved on to the next question. "And I don't remember what exactly happened the nurse filled me in on it but apparently I said something wrong, he tightened my bracelet, he over tightened it and it hurt really bad, and I had a panic attack then I passed out." I answered. "Whoa." Smack said. "I woke up three days later and for the next two days I slept, filled out papers, packed a medicine bag, had a rant, had a meeting, Mr. Jay showed me where to go for my new job, and I got a different replacement job for that one because I can't do that job with one hand." I answered. "What are your jobs then? Original and injured wrist one." Lemon said curious. "Well I didn't like any on the list he showed me. So he asked what is was good at and the-" I was interrupted. "Wait! He let you choose from a list?!" Smack asked bewildered. "Ya, didn't you guys get to choose?" I asked now confused. "NO!" Smack yelled. I'm stuck mopping everyone's dorms and you get to cho-" Lemon and Soapsuds put their hands over her mouth. "Shhhh! Do you want everyone to start a riot and hate her?!" Lemon said. I looked around but no one was looking at me thank goodness. Then they pried their hands off and smack apologized. "It's alright, no biggie." I said. "Well what are your jobs?" Smack asked. "My original is being his personnel baker, I LOVE baking and he showed me my own private kitchen with the BEST supplies in it! Then the job I go to tomorrow is announcer." I said. "Those are both good!" Soapsuds said. "But I have to wake up at 7:30 and go to bed at 10:30" I said. "That makes sense." They all agreed. "But since I have an injury, he said I need to get better ASAP so he is giving me a weekend break so Saturday and Sunday!" I replied cheerfully. "Oh good, what are you gonna do with all that time?" Lemon asked. "Well, the doctor recommended that I should sleep so that my wrist can have some good healing time and when I wake up I'm gonna ask one of his men to give me a grand tour. Mr. Jay thought it would be a good idea." I said. There was shuffling in the room and I looked around to see that girls were heading back to their beds and smack got up and went to the other side saying good bye, Soapsuds went a few bunks down from my left and lemon said, "Guess what?!" She said excitedly. "What?" I asked. As I looked at the clock to see we had five minutes left to get in bed. "I sleep right above you!" She said excitedly, which made me excited too. "Yesssss!" I whispered. She stepped on the corner of my bed and jumped up to the top bunk. "Goodnight." She whispered. "Goodnight." I whispered back. I opened my "carry on" bag that had my teddy bear in it and I snuggled in and looked at my clock, it read 10:00pm even. And I closed my eyes as the doors opened and two people came in. "They're all asleep sir." It was Adam. "Good" it was Mr. Jay. They went out as quickly as they came in. Then I found myself drifting into sleep.
