"Pick up your feet ladies!You think you're hard? Hmph, I guess we'll see." A tall woman, built like a brick, with short platinum blonde hair screams at us. There are four girls in front of me and about six behind, we all walk in a straight line,our hands handcuffed behind us. I look up to see the large, bland, gray juvie while heaving a sigh. "This ain't the army, dumb ass." The girl behind me mumbles, obviously referring to the platinum drill sergeant. No one laughs, no one smiles, no one even acknowledges the sly comment. We're all just trying to get out of this hot sun and into the building. I mean, don't get me wrong I'm sure none of us are psyched to be here but what can we do? We all made a mistake and we need to pick up the pieces, sooner or later.

As I enter the building I get no break from the heat. Inside the thick concrete walls are the smells of sweat, mold, and bleach. I don't get much time to get a bare on my surroundings, before I'm uncuffed and pushed into a cell. My "roommate" looks no friendlier than the free samples in chinatown. My height, which is 5'6, and broad shouldered. "I'm Tina and you get the bottom bunk," she growls. I roll my eyes at the her stereotypical behavior. Unfortunately she has the maturity of a six years old and won't my eye rolling fly.

She walks towards me all "big and bad" while saying' "Bitch, who the hell are you rolling your eyes at?" I simply look at her, shake my head, and continue looking at my hands that are so fascinating. WIP
