2 of us

I ran and ran and ran and ran and ran. The burning in my legs begging me to stop, the sweat starting to coat my body seeping through my clothes. The smile of crazy on my face...the blood staining my fingers, but the adrenaline...the rush. I couldn't stop even If I wanted to.

But it all came to an end just as soon as it started I turned the corner not expecting to see 4 cop cars blocking my escape. I turned around to try and go back the way I came from...only to come face to face with 5 cops. My eyes went wide my mind going into stupid survival instinct. I ran full force towards the officer which only ended with me getting thrown over a should

"NO!" I pounded at the officers back

"NO NO NO NO!"

"This isn't happening" I whispered to myself

"FUCK YOU! LET ME GO NOW" I screamed voice cracking holding back tears

They can't see my weak...no one can see me weak

—--------

I woke up in a room...not a hospital room literally a room. I jumped out of the bed looking around. I looked towards my left seeing another bed just like my own along with a few personal belongings. I snooped...it wouldn't be me if I didn't peek a little.

I smirked when I opened the top drawer to be met with vibrators, dildos, but plugs, and lube. She be getting freaky

I walked towards the door and stared at it contemplating whether or not I should open the door or not. The girl who opened the door, almost hitting me in the process, chose for me. I smiled at her before quickly frowning after seeing the scared look on her face. I was always told I had a serial killer smile.

"H-hi my name is aki"

She was short, maybe 5'1 with long black hair and dark brown eyes.

"Sariel"

"I know umm...we're roommates by the way," she said shyly

"Mhm...and what is this exactly"

"Oh! Yeah, I am so sorry...This is an academy for delinquents. Mostly everyone here is 18 and under...instead of sending us to jail they send us here. The people who came up with this see us as kids who can't control their illnesses or grew up wrong."

"And wha'd a sweet thing like you do to get in here"

She blushed

"Oh umm...I robbed a bank...8 times"

To say I was shocked was an understatement, but I just laughed

"Oh wow okay..."

"Yeah..." she lightly smiled "what about you?"

"Oh, baby...I don't wanna scare you away yet"

—---------

"Okay, so there are different parts of the building it can range from first-degree murder to something as simple as shoplifting."

"Why are we in the same area?" I said

"Well I don't know what you did, but that usually means even if your crime is bad they found it better to room you with you know people like me."

"Mm...do they separate everything? Like bathroom lunches?"

"Well, why don't you think of this like college. That's basically what it is. We have classes, dorms-"

"What's the age range here?" I interrupted her

"You already know it stops at 18 unless there's some kind of acceptance, but our youngest here is 13."

"Really what'd he do"

"Not my business to tell"

"But-"

"Anywho you missed the first period, but here's your schedule"

She started to walk away

"One more thing! We have therapy twice a week"

Fuck no

—----

I looked down at my schedule, and of course, my first class is anger management...

I wandered the halls a bit before entering room 201. All eyes on me...great

The teacher looked up from the desk and smiled

"Oh! You must be one of our new students h-"

"One of"

Her smile flattered slightly when I interrupted her, but I'm guessing the teachers have files on all the students with do's and don't because she chose to ignore it.

Good

"Well yes we get up to 3 new students every few days" she started "umm why don't you go sit next to Highlin...highlin raise your hand"

A cute brown skin boy with locs raised his hand from the corner of the room smirking lightly. I walked to the double seated desk and plopped down next to him carelessly dropping my bag on the floor

"So you new here?"

"Obviously," I said

"Your cute"

"Thanks so are you" I winked

He smiled "oohhh I like you...I think I'm gonna call you ginger"

"Typical" I rolled my eyes

Typical because I have long curly ginger hair, bright green eyes, freckles, full lips, and slightly pale skin. I know hot as fuck

"After this class, we have a free period...well at least I do, hand me your schedule"

I handed him the wrinkled piece of paper that was shoved in my pocket making him snicker

"Yeah you do...wanna hang with me and my friends?"

"Sure-"

"Scarlett and highlin quiet please"

Who the fuck is scarlett

"It's sariel"

—----------

After class I followed highlin to wherever the hell he was taking me...maybe I should follow him. He could be a serial killer for all I know

"Hey" I said

"Hm?"

"Are you a serial killer"

He laughed

"What? No"

"Just making sure" I shrugged

"Are you?" he asked

"I could be"

"Cool" he said

"I know"

He opened the door to what looked like a library to me before leading me all the way to the back of the library. There I was met 5 pairs of eyes
