   My eyes opened, squinting as my alarm went off. The alarm read 6:15am. I groaned and pulled the covers over my head in frustration from having to wake up so early.

   My room mate, Maddison, barged in to my room and jumped on top of me. "C'mon it's your first day of work! Get your lazy ass out of bed!" she yelled.

   Pulling my covers down, I glared at her, making her giggle as she went into the kitchen. I sat up and yawned loudly with my hand fisted in front of my mouth.

I picked up a glass of water that was resting on my bedside table. I slowly lifted it up to my face and took a big gulp, relieving my dry throat.

I swayed my legs to the side of my bed and completely lifted my covers off of me. I slipped my feet in to my big, pink bunny slippers. I walked clumsily to the kitchen as I was still tired. Maddison was in the kitchen, drinking coffee.

I opened the cabinet and grabbed a bowl. I took my favourite cereal which was Milo and poured it in to the bowl as well as some full cream milk.

I grabbed a spoon and walked with my bowl to the couch to eat my breakfast. I munched on my cereal whilst watching the news.

"A 19 year old boy acused of a brutal murder of a family. He is sent to the Melbourne Mental Institution for life unless he proves to change his ways" the news reporter said.

My heart sank as I realised what I was getting myself in to.

There was a mugshot of the boy was shown on the TV screen. He did not look like a psychopath, he was gorgeous. His hair was perfect and he had the most beautiful brown eyes.

I hoped that I wouldn't run in to him in the institution. I gulped and slowly picked up the TV remote and switched off the TV. I felt two hands grab around my neck.

I started screaming and I gripped the hands that were around my neck. I heard a giggle, and I got so pissed off when I turned around to see Maddison's face.

"What was on the TV?" she asked curiously. "Nothing, just normal news stuff." I said nervously, adding a big gulp at the end. I stood up and headed for my bedroom.

I picked out my outfit the night before even though I am going to receive a uniform at the institution. I don't care, I want to have a good first impression to my boss and my co-workers.

"I really don't want you to be hurt, heck, I don't want you to get murdered in there." I heard Maddison say behind me.

"I'm working on keeping my cool, it is not likely to happen in the institution though." I talked with my back still facing her as I was putting on some foundation.

I procceeded to put on eyeliner and a bit of mascara. I brushed my hair and my teeth and headed for the front door.

I looked around the room to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything, I spotted my phone and I ran towards it.

I grabbed it and quickly put it it my bag. I headed for the front door again. "Wait!" I heard right before I walked out of the door.

I turned around to see Maddison with a very red face and few tears rolling down her cheeks.

She ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "If anything happens to you, I don't know what I will do" she tried to say.

I hugged back but then I realised that I was going to be late. I gestured for her to stop hugging and so she did.

I looked deep in to her eyes and said the only thing that I could say. "I'll be fine," I smiled and quickly head out the door.

I climbed onto my motorcycle and made sure to put on my helmet because I did not want to have an accident on my first day of work.

*Sorry for the short chapter but I just wanted an introduction before the real story begins!*

(Omf mom from the future came back to read this garbage X_x I overused 'I' in the beginning of each sentence but I promise, just keep reading, I've improved heaps!)
