" I can't believe am in for being idle and disorderly."I huffed.
" You better do cause you won't just disappear, your family gotta pick you up."the dark officer replied leisurely.
"Come again!."I almost shrieked.
"You deaf or what?"he questioned opening a small jail cell where two other girls around my age were. The dark one dressed in a blue skimpy dress and dangerously long heels sat in one corner, head in lap with her hands around her legs that she had pulled to her chest. Don't tell me she was arrested for dress code, I don't know of such a law. Anyway, the other girl that looked farmiliar sat on the metal bench calmly and seemed bored.
" Please don't tell me you misplaced the keys, my wrists are burning."I whined as the officer fumbled through his pockets. Seriously were handcuffs necessary, it's not like I had stolen something or shot someone.
"I got them."he announced then removed the handcuffs. I sighed rubbing my slightly red wrists as I got into the cell that was shut and locked behind me.dang it!"Of all places, I didn't expect to meet you again in a cell."the farmiliar girl spoke. I rummaged through my brain for a while before my eyes softened at her in recognition. Of course the girl that sat next to me in the bus.
"Niveah right?"she nodded as I sat next to her on the metal bench, she was clad in white short shorts and a blue off shoulder croptop that complemented the blue puma push ins. Did I mention they also had bunny ears. I guess she was a fun of bunnies or just loves cute things.
"PrimGrace?"I grimanced, ofcourse she wouldn't recall my name.
" Primrose."I deadpanned. She chuckled.
"I am kidding, who could forget such a cute name."I smiled back in response which faded as soon as her next question popped out.
"So, to what crime do I owe the pleasure?"
"Idle and disorderly."I scoffed."that's so stupid don't you think. I swear I was walking back to my lodge but the officer just swept me literally cause I didn't have an ID ."I rumbled. Niveah laughed heartily.
"Yeah, those are the officers in langebaan. And your not leaving until a family member that is an adult comes for you."she added mindlessly. If that's the case then I was gonna be here for a while.
Just then I felt a shift in my lower abdomen which made me bolt upright.
"No, not now "I murmured. I mentally slapped myself, how did I forget that the month had just started.
"What's up?"asked Niveah in concern.
"It's my time, how could I forget. I swear am gonna die here, do officers even have tampons."I whined placing a hand on my lower belly. Thank God I hardly got cramps and even so they were so light hardly there.
"Jeez, your really dead."she frowned. "Sorry for the bluntness but I don't even have a tampon on me, sorry."she shrugged.
"There are even no tissues on this toilet."I huffed angrily pointing at the metal toilet seat in the corner. Then we fell into silence maybe because none of us really knew what to do. I silently thanked God that my first day was so light almost nothing came compared to the second and third.
"Niveah Johnson."the dark officer that brought me called and we looked up.
"Your mom is here."he motioned for her to go out as he unlocked the door.
Niveah rose gently then adjusted her short shorts and since her croptop hardly covered he waist I could see a tattoo of a Cupid, it looked professional and the dark blue ink beautiful on her skin.
She turned and looked at me in thought then smiled.
"Wait here."she whispered and I raised my eyebrows in question but she had already left.Great! Now I was with no farmiliar person. I glanced at the girl in the corner, she was still in the same position but I could hear soft snores to which I conclude she was asleep. I wondered if by now they were searching for me though I felt they hadn't yet noticed I wasn't around, it's not like we ate around a table that they would see an empty seat. It's not even like I talked alot with my cousins and Daisy so probably they thought I was just in room like always or something like that. I had a feeling they would only notice my absence on Monday when my tutor came so they would have to call me from my room to come study.
" Primrose kenaza."I looked up to see the same officer who had come for Niveah.
"Your aunt is here."mmmm?
