Today was supposed to be an uneventful day, according to past weeks and I was happy about that, after todays unfourtunate events with the guard, I just wanted to stay in my cell the rest of the day,until the speakers in the hallways cracked with a high-pitched voice saying "everybody is released and must meet in the meeting hall immediately or their will be consequences".
I threw my legs over the side of he bed and lifted the rest of my body up, Then I walked over to the corner and replaced my ratty night gown with a dingy white uniform. Behind me their was a loud clicking sound, that meant the doors would be opening soon. So I slipped on my dirty grey converse and waited patiently by the metal door with my hands behind my back. The guards in the Green uniforms came down the hallway and unlocked them by clicking a button on the main wall one-by-one until everybody was out. Kids of all ages were hurrying in a disorganized pattern to find a place in line.I went behind a small girl around age 5 she had mousy brown hair that was in greasy clumps from not being washed in months, Her uniform was torn down the side from being over-worn, through the hole in the top you could see her ribs. As one of he guards stood at the front of the line he quickly counted everybody, then he blew the whistle and we all followed behind him out of the room.
Usually on check up day I stay in line by myself and don't talk or look at anybody,the litle girl in front of me turned around ever so slightly and whispered to me in a small gentle voice "My name is Miranda, Whats yours ?" I was shocked that she was talking to me, not many peole here talked and when they did they avoided talking to me. I managed to mumble "My name is Khy" after not talking for many days. A guard walked up from behind us and yanked me out of line and threw me to the ground...oops I've been caught, he started to kick me in the face repeatedly. The small girl Miranda jumped out of line and lunged herself onto he guards back, then she clamped her teeth onto he guards shoulder. The guard yelped in pain and let go of me, Miranda ran into one of the cells with the guard close behind her.
