  "Get up! Move move move! What are you waiting for? An invitation?" My eyes shot open, and I stumbled out of bed. Wait? Where was I? Oh right, the murder school. Hooray, I thought it was just a dream... Ok well it's not. I quickly looked around and noticed I couldn't walk away from the bed, my hand was still handcuffed to the pole. It was so tightly cuffed on, that it was starting to cut into my hand, so I sat back down on the bed calmly waiting for them to unlock me. The other girls started to panic, but I sat there calmly, panicking would make things worse. "How can you do that?," said a voice nearby me. "How are you so calm?" I turned a saw my neighbor looking at me curiously. "It won't help us. Panicking I mean. They want us to be scared, we have to show them we aren't." I answered. "I'm Natalia, but you can call me Natasha." "I'm Yelena, Yelena Belova. Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you to." I replied. Maybe it might be good to make a friend here, or at least an ally. Before I could ask, Madame B. walked in and started to unlock us, she started on our end and worked her way down to the other silently, while we were so still and quiet, that you could hear a pin drop. Finally she finished and made her way to the middle of the room, and said, "Ladies, How was your night?" No one said anything. "Well, I am here to give you your schedules, stick to these like glue, or the punishments will be severe." She placed  a stack of papers on the floor, and walked out of the room, locking the door as she went. It took two minutes of still silence, before I stood up walked over to the stack of papers, grabbed two, and walked back to my bed. The other girl's eyes trained on me like a scared prey staring at its predator. I sat down on my bed, and I passed one to Yelena, she whispered, "Thank you."Then all was silent once again. A few seconds later, another girl whose name I didn't know, stood up and did the same, others followed after her. I looked down at my schedule, and read,

I looked at a nearby clock, it read 5:15. There were clothes on a trunk at the end of the bed, quickly I got dressed not caring about the surrounding girls, and then I laced a nearby pair of shoes. A few others did the same. I looked back at the clock, It was 5:25. I turned to Yelena, she had already gotten dressed to and said, "Some schedule right?" She chuckled lightly and said, "Yeah, I bet they'll let us care of our hygiene during shower time, because I don't see anywhere, or anyway to brush my teeth, at least they gave us brushes." She held up a brush. "Yeah," I said, "I'm glad they did." She started to brush through her curly blonde hair while I did mine. "Do you have parents?" I asked immediately regretting it once it came out of my mouth. "I don't, no one will miss me if i'm gone, so I was just wondering, you don't have to answer it if you don't want to." I quickly said. "It's okay," she replied. "I don't have any parents either, I-I can't even remember them sad as it is... None of us do, we're all 10, and we're all orphaned females,. No one is supposed to miss us." "I can't remember mine either, all I know is that they died in a fire. I think I had a brother too, but I don't know..." "I'm an only child. Well, at least I think I am..." We fell silent for a minute, until I said, "I know this sounds cliche or whatever, but would you like to be friends, or an ally at least, we could use each other's help." "Sure! It would probably help the time here pass a lot quicker too."
