as we all look at each other waiting for someone to throw out a plan, adam pops into the room searching for meli
"oohh you gotta be kidding me..." i mutter
"shut up and be nice" meli whispered at me "oohh hey adam over here!"
"hey wats up?" he said looking at our angry faces, except meli who was the only one smiling
"oohh you know just talking about our 'womanly' feelings" said jacky, exagerrating the "womanly" part
"oohh i can handle it..." said adam looking brave
"soo anyways i was having these killer cramps... and then some really hot guard walked by with a tight t-shirt on and you could soo see his 6 pack and then i was like faking a smile soo it wouldnt look like i was in pai-" jacky says gettin cut off
"ok im leaving..." says adam and then runs off...
"ok back to the plan..." says ave trying to get us back to focus....
"ooohh i think i got one!!" i said and then all attention was on me "ok we must use our 'womanly' powers and skills to do this escaping thing..ok?" i say making sure they understand....
"wat 'womanly' powers?" says cory soo lost
"i think shell means like cramps and periods and talking bout hot guys, the things we said to make adam run off?....right?" asked meli not soo sure
"yess exactly......i told the guard i was having cramps and he freaked out and let me go to the bathroom and then i ran off...cause im a ninja" i said bragging..
"and most guards here are males!!...." said jacky smiling "this might just work"
"but how?" said ave
"yeaa...i dont know!!" i said turing my smile into a frown
" and plus we can use crazy awesome noises to distract them!!" said cory popping into the circle, jumping.....but we just look at her and she calms down and moves back to the side
"oooookkkk then yeesss we can use all those things but how?" said jacky but no one answered her question.....

Ugh, it's been nearly a week in this place. I hate it. My black finger nail polish is wearing off. It's only a matter of time before my black hair fades back to light brown. I don't feel quite well, and I'm only barely listening to the plan.
"Womanly problems, huh?" Cory says.
"Hey! I could faake a womanly problem near the offices, and pretend like I'm going to the bathroom, but sneak into the records room, and jack up our profiles." Shelly says all fast like.
I zone out, and start worrying about my family again. Wondring about how my father is, and wondering whether he has realized what kind of monster my step-mum is. But, alas, it has only been a week. A week can't do much. But WE must get something done in a week if we want shelly to escape.
"Okay.. so you've got the plan?" Jacky says to Meli. "Go fake "womanly issues" by the offices tomorrow when you come for visting hours."
"Got it." She says, just in time for us to go back to our rooms.

Part... something. You guys keep forgetting to type in the parts that I lose track!

Freya walked over to me with two huge men at her side. "Go ahead boys," she said. The two men grabbed my arms and dragged me to my room.
"Don't trust me?" I grumbled.
"No. No. Meli. It's not that... it's just... we tend to lose sight of you a lot... and our supervisor wants us to keep a close eye on you is all," Freya replied without looking at me. She unlocked my door and the two guys threw me inside. "Oh. Someone wants to talk to you. Go ahead." she gently pushed Adam inside. "I'll be back in a moment." She closed the door.
"Did you ask them?!" Adam was jumping up and down.
I forced a smile. "Um... not yet. I haven't got to it."
He frowned. "But you were talking to them earlier."
"I know. I know. It just... slipped my mind," I mumbled.
"You're not gonna ask them are you?" he sat on the ground.
"I will! I promise!" I kneeled down by him.
"What if they say no?"
"Then... then I'll let you come along anyways."
"For real?!" he smiled at me.
I nodded. "For real."
"Thank you Meli."
I just smiled at him. Freya came back inside. "Okay Adam. Let's go." Adam got up and left. "Oh. Meli. Someone else wants to see you real fast." I nodded. "Come in."
A young boy with dirty blond hair walked inside. "Hello."
"James," my eyes widen. "I haven't seen you for a while."
He smiled sweetly. "Yes... I know."
"Why are you here?" I asked him nervously.
"Oh. I just wanted to visit you. I saw that you were busy in the visitor room to notice me."
"Oh... sorry."
"It's okay... I need to talk to you though."
I nodded.
"Meet me in the visitor room tomorrow, okay?"
Once again... I nodded. "yeah."

THE GOTHIC ASSYLUM

"please jennifer, PLEEEEASE?" i beg down on my knees
"i dont see what the big deal is!" she complains
"but i get just so lonely in here eating all alone...cant i eat with some of the other patients in the cafeteria? i promise i'll be good! i really will! i wont even start a food fight this time!!" i work up a small tear and let it fall down my cheek oh-so-dramatically.
"oh alright!" jennifer throws her hands up in the air. hmm...she seems to be under quite a bit of stress "you can go, but if you start another food fight you wont be allowed to eat in there for THREE MONTHS!" she says exaggerating the threat and pointing an angry finger right at my face.
"ooh thank you jennifer!" i smile angelically and throw my arms around her neck.
"ugh. come on. lets go." yeah, she's definately stressed. could that possibly be from ME? wow, i'm impressed.
she leads me down the perfect white hallways and into the cafeteria. i walk through the lunch line and fill my tray with the usual crap and look around for a decent seat. hmm, no not by the crazy woman who smells like cats. i glance around some more. OH MY GOD. who is THAT? i rush over to the table and sit right next to him
"JAMES! what are YOU doing here?!" i exclaim.
he doesnt say a word.
"well?" i demand.
he pushes his hair out of his eyes.
"are you not going to answer me?" i work up another tear to make him feel bad, but he takes one glance at my face and picks up his tray and starts to walk away
"HEY!" i yell, but he doesnt even glance back. i quickly look down at my tray and pick up the disgusting sugar cookie and chuck it at his head. he stumbles and the slop-food slides off of his tray and onto the ground. he spins around and gives me a murderous glare. i quickly sit down and turn my back to him and take a huge bite of my food.
"WHAT ON EARTH?" one of the lunch ladies yells
"it was HER fault!" james says. i dont turn around to see that he's talking about me, because i already know.
"young lady! did you cause this?" the lunch lady goes to the other side of my empty table and slams her hands down with a sharp THWACK.
i swallow my huge bite "cause what?" i ask innocently
"ooh dont you play innocent!" james walks over to me and i can see he's incredibly angry.
"wow, your talking to me. what an honor." i roll my eyes.
"THATS IT!" he shouts and pushes my tray onto my lap. i stare dumbfoundedly at my ruined what dress and then look up into his face and start to cry.
"i didnt do anythiiiing!!!!" i wail
"someone please escort james back to his room." the lady says. "and get this girl a new dress for goodness sakes!" she turns on her heel and walks away. now james is REALLY mad and i can almost see the smoke coming from his ears.
"thats what you get" i whisper and smirk at him. he just stares at me more, but this time with his mouth hanging open, and finally jennifer comes to take me back to my room.
"ta-ta!" i call over my shoulder and flutter my fingers at him.

part bleh bleh....

"come on shelly, get up!! time for breakfast..." said my new nurse, pulling on the blankets i was under...
"uuuuggghhh 5 more minutes...or maybe 5 more hours!"..i say burying my head under my pillow but she snatches it away and drags me outta the bed..
"oohh come on...the girls you talk to in the visiting room will be there! arent you happy about that?!" she said to me like i was a 2nd grader
"ooohhh yes i am happy about that!" i say in a sneaky voice..."lets GOOOOO!!" i say prancing out the door and she runs after me....as we walk down the hallway, i pass by this one dude, named james, whos rubbing his head and he has a guard holdin onto one arm...
"i wonder what happened to him" i mumble but as i enter the lunchroom( or breakfast room) i suddenly spot allison at a table laughing her head off...sooo i run to her
"hey allison whats wrong with you?" i ask somewhat confused and as she tries to breathe to answer my question, meli and avery come into the room
"soo whats wrong with her?" ave says pointing to allison but i just shrug....and as she finally calms down she answers our question
"well that one james kid...i got mad at him and soo i threw a cookie at his head!!" and then she starts laughing hysterically again
"heeyy i liked that guy!!" says meli but then covers her mouth quickly
"you like him?!" allison, ave and i all say at once....but meli just kinda sinks into her chair
"ok guys anyways....wheres cory? we ne-" but then ave gets cut off
"HEY YOU GUYS I HAVE THE PERFECT PLAN!!" screams cory busting into the conversation....but since she yelled the entire breakfast room looked at us..." uuhh the perfect plan to...uhh...tie my shoes!?" cory says covering up her last comment
"ok ok what is it?!?!" i say and she quickly sits down....

okay, i only have fifteen minutes!
part!!!!
"Wait, Meli," Alison says, breaking the suspense, "Did you just spill that you like James?"
Meli looks flustered and red faced, she gives a small nod.
"Ewwww! James W?! He's so weird!" Shelly squeals.
"WHat?!" Meli shouts, "Who the heck are you talking about?! I'm taking about James G., and he is NOT weird!"
"Oh, I don't know that one..."
" Uh huh." Meli says, folding her arms over, "Now please," Meli says to me, "What's your big plan?"
"I've thought about this a lot., and i think the first thing we need to consider is a distraction big enough that you guys will be able to slip by without any of the doctors noticing."
"Fire alarm?" Avery guesses.
"No, they have a procedure in case of fires that's very purpose is to keep us together." I say.
"Well, what else can we do?"
"Something..." I smile wickedly, "Close to it." then i lay out my plan. "Okay, we need to switch the soundbox in the fire alarm system to play a hideous noise, something like nails on a chalkboard, only ten times louder."
"How do you switch out a fire alarm's soundbox?" Alison asked.
"Easy, systems of fire alarms are just like the intercoms you hear at school. All we need is a recording of the horrible noise and then hitch it up to the sockets in the soundborad for the system. It should be located in the control room of the D-hall. Just snip out the soundbox that makes the "ERR!" sound and attach the colored wires to the according wires on the new soundbox."
"I get it." Shelly said, "I think... but what's the point of switching out the soundbox?"
"Okay, it's complex. Once the soundbox is switched out, then when the fire alarm is pulled, which one of you will have to do, then the horrible noise will blair through the building, anyone who doesn't want to crouch down and cover their ears will have to wear earplugs. Heck, some of the REAL mental patients in here will probable go crazy and hopefully need enough doctor assistance to be kept under control. That gives you guys a chance to get out of your rooms and run out the front door, where i'll be waiting for you."
They had all been listening carefully until this point.
"Huh? What do you mean, "you'll be waiting for us?" Avery said. I smiled.
"My doctor told me my mom would be picking me up in a couple days." I said smiling, "I don't know why they're letting me go, but they are."
"No way!" Shelly, Meli, and Alison practically yelled.
"But i'm not going to abandon you guys," I said quickly, "Once i get out I'm going to find the sound bite and pairs of earplugs, then I'll sew a pair of earplugs into individual teddy bears, I can deliver them here for the doctors to give to you, then all you have to do is slice them open! Oh, and of course, one of you will also receive the sound bite in your bear."
They looked at me like they couldn't believe me.
"I should have plenty of time to buy either a car or a cheap rv to wait for you guys outside the hospital the day of the escape."
"Cheap RV?" Meli asked.
"Well, how many people are we taking? Just us?"
"Aren't we?" Shelly asked, Meli didn't look so sure.
Were we taking more people?
"Anyhow, two things that need to be done before the escape are switching the sound bite and getting our records. Alison's right, they'll be looking for us after we disappear, but all they'll remember without our records are our names."
"I can teach you guys how to use your dinner forks to unlock your doors too." Alison offered.
"Check." Meli said, "Who's going to jack the sound system and the records?"


Vampire-Princess-Meli
Part... in your face jacky.

2 days later.
"Wakey wakey, Melikins!" Freya was in my room. She has to much mood swings.
"Go away. To tired," I mumbled.
"But your friend Cory is leaving today," Freya pulled the covers off of me.
"What?! It's been two days already!" I jumped out of bed. "No way!"
"Yes way. It's time to go to the visiting room," Freya led me out of my room. I saw Avery and the others in the visiting room. They all looked sad. I ran up to them.
"Guys. Did you know-"
"Yes. We heard..." Shelly was looking down at the floor.
"Don't worry. We'll see her soon," Allison reassured her.
"I hope this plan goes well..." Avery sighed.
"Oh... I was wondering..." I was rocking back and forth on my heels.
"What?" Everyone looked at me.
"I was thinking... how about we bring someone along?" I asked.
"Like who?" Allison placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh I don't know.... Adam?"
"That freak!" Shelly cried.
"He's not a freak!" I said defensively.
"He killed his own sister!" She yelled in my face.
"You don't know that!"
"A-ver-y!" someone sang. Avery's whole body stiffened. A random boy with black hair hugged her from behind. "Avery!"
"James!" Allison said.
He ignored her. "Avery! Avery! I heard you guys were planning to es-" before he could finish his sentence, Avery punched him.
"Are you insane?" she hissed. "Someone could hear you!"
"Uh... how does he know about our plan?" Shelly said.
"He over heard us... and he wants to come along," Avery mumbled.
"Yes! Let him come along!" Allison was jumping up and down. Once again, James ignored her.
"I'm only coming if Avery is going," James scooted closer to her.
"Then I'm staying!" she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Where ever you go I go darling," James leaned towards her. "Please... just one kiss?"
"Eww!" she pushed him away.
He pushed her against the wall and took something out of her pocket... GOLDFISH?!
"You... have goldfish?" Jacky said all dramatic like.
"Meli," someone grabbed the back of my shirt and dragged me away. The group was just staring over my head and their mouths were open.
"He looks like Relient K!" Avery shouted.
"James?" I turned around once he let go of me.
"I heard that you guys are escaping. I want to help you. I have a car and you do want to bring them right?" he pointed to the little group.
I nodded.
"Okay. So you need more room. When are you guys gonna start?"
"Once we get the teddy bears from cory," I replied.
"'kay."
"Hey Meli!" Shelly yelled. "Come here!"
"See ya," I waved at James and ran over to Shelly. "Yeah?"
"You're gonna pull the plug right?"
"Yes."

part: i'm just sticking this in there...i'm going to try to make it short but...there's so much to happen...we'll see.

I'm lying in my bed face-up, my eyes are open, and i'm thinking...this is all a dream, so long i've been wanting to be free of this place and now...they're just letting me go. Aren't they?
The door opens and nurse McCafry steps in with a small smile on. She's about my height and plump around the middle, but not a unloving looking woman. In fact, she looks more loving than i've ever seen her, today. Why does she have a box of tissues with her?
"Hi darling. Have a nice sleep?" she says, placing the tissues on my bed.
"I don't know...it was alright. What time am i leaving today?" I ask.
"Your...uh mother will be here in about fifteen minutes, she just called and said she was on here way." nurse McCafry gave a big sweet smile, but then she put on a expressionless face and sat next to me on my bed.
"I have some news about your sister dear." she said. Nadine?! I thought.
"When did you last hear from her?"nurse asked. I thought back to the last time i'd heard from little sis...it'd been when she'd sent me that: "I miss you card" when she was in fith grade. That was three...three years ago. I frowned.
"It's been awhile." I said, "How's she doing? Is she coming with Mom?I'm...I'm going to get to see her again." My heart felt light with joy.
"Dear," McCafry said softy, "Your sister left a note saying that she was responsible-"
"What? Responsible for what? What are you talking about? Is Nadine in trouble with the police? What?"
"For...for that death four years ago. The boy? Blake Harrison." I jumped up in a hot fury.
"Don't believe a word she said!" I shouted at the nurse, "She didn't do nothing wrong, it was ME I told you! Nadine! Didn't! Do that!" McCafry tried to interrupt me, "No!" I shouted, "She didn't do it! She can't go to jail! You can't take her away like that! It was ME!" I stopped for a moment. Nadine was thirteen now...she could still come here, or juvi.
"Honey!" McCafry said forcefully, then her voice softened. "She isn't going to go to jail."
"What's...what's going on?" I asked. Nurse took a deep breath, then let it out.
"Nadine's dead, sweetie."
My head exploded, I couldv'e slapped McCafry, ANYONE, all the way to Mexico. Finally I just threw myself down on my bed and cried. Cried so hard, I almost couldn't breath. A hand pressed lightly on my back, I slapped it away wildly.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" I roared.
"Dear," I wanted to scream, "She only died last Monday," (a week ago) "Police didn't hand over her suicide note until Thursday."
"Suicide?!" I rammed myself back into my pillow and cried. I hardly heard McCafry as she kept talking. My sister! Why?! Why kill herself! MY sister! Dying by her own hand! Why WHY WHY?!
"-mentioned that you were the only person who knew the combination to some trunk that would prove her guilty." I caught the nurse say. No Nadine, no. I thought. You shouldn't have. nooo...the combination number clicked into my brain even though i begged it not to. 7673512.
"You can leave Cory. But you have to go with the police to your old house to unlock that trunk. If it... proves you're innocent, than you can go live with your mother...or a foster home." what? "but...I'm sorry, if it doesn't prove anything then i'm afraid you'll have to come back here."
So stupid I thought. I won't go. I WON'T let my sister be remembered as i murderer. I WON'T. but my friends. They're relying on me to get out.
I have to get out of here. I sniffled and sat up, silent tears running down my face. Nurse McCafry pulled out on of her kleenexs and held it out to me.
"We have to go to the lobby now dear, your...your mom should be there." I took the Kleenex and thought. Mom. Oh Mom, I'm so sorry for you, and Nadine, how this must kill you. But i couldn't wait to see her. I wiped my nose and stood up with the nurse on my arm. she lead me out of my room and down the long white hallways i had memorized so well. I kept my head down, none of this kept my interest anymore. The tile floor beneath my white shoes changed to carpet, and i knew we had made it to the lobby. My head snapped up. And standing at the assistance counter was a beautiful tall woman with short brown curls. But she wasn't my mom.
"Where's my Mom?" I asked McCafry innocently. McCafry's eyes flicked to the woman at the the counter. She started to lead me to her.
"I don't think that's my mom McCafry." I objected, but i quickly searched the woman's face who was now turned towards me, with a sweet smile on here face. But it wasn't my mom's smile. I was at a lose for words when the lady put out her hand for me to shake.
"Hello, my name is Geneva. But i hope you can call me Mom." I looked at nurse, then i looked at the outstretched hand in disbelief.
"Mom?" I asked.
Geneva smiled and nodded. "That's right." she said.
"No!" I yelled, and slapped Geneva's hand away. "Where's MY MOM!?" I screamed.

i woke up late, i can tell because my breakfast is already on the table next to me. at least jennifer didnt wake me up. i yawn and stretch as i get out of my bed. ugh, this food looks sssick. i'm going to be SO glad when i'm out of this place and i can eat things like mcdonalds and burgerking. ooh its been soo long...
well. since today is going to be my last day here at lovely saint mungos, i do believe i should get to have some fun. i reach down under my mattress for my lovely fork-key. i was surprised they didnt see the missing fork, but oh well. i twist my hair up into a bun and stick the fork in it. ooh! this will work brilliantly! no one will be able to see it. i remove the fork and stick it into the lock, jiggling back and forth, until the tumbler finally flips over and the door is open. i stick the fork back into my bun and look down both ways, making sure no one's around. as i start walking down the hallway i peek casually into each of the windows, seeing who's inside. but, wait, WHATS THIS? how could i have missed this? JAMES is only seven doors away from my room! i stare into the window a bit longer. he's just sitting there looking bored. hmm...well, wouldnt it be fun to mess with him just a little? i quickly loosen down my bun and pull my hair to cover my face, like the girl from the ring. i unlock his door and walk in, all creepy like. almost like a ramalamaer and i lock the door behind me. i can see his eyes grow wide as he backs up against his wall.
"leave me alone!" he whispers, ooh he sounds so scared! what a baby!
"never. your MINE!" i cackle
he opens his mouth about to scream, so i jump towards him and clamp my hand over his mouth.
"give it up! no one will hear your screams!" his eyes grow even wider. wait, whats that? footsteps?! oh god! i quickly release his mouth and flip my hair back over,
"james! shuttup! its me! now be quiet, someone's coming!" i quickly hit the floor and roll under his bed. i reach up and grab the blanket and pull it down a little over the edge, so i cant be seen.
i hear the door being unlocked, and then the footsteps come into the room
"goodmorning james" a man's voice says
'goodmorning" he says back pleasantly.
"i've brought you your breakfast."
"okay. thank you." he replys
"need anything?"
"nope"
"alright then. i'll see you in a couple of hours."
"goodbye."
i hear the door close again and lock. now why cant me and jennifer have pleasant conversations like this? she always has to find something to complain about me! oh well. i roll out from under the bed and get up. only to be pushed back down
"what the hell is wrong with you?!" james shouts in my face
"hey, keep it down, otherwise your lovely assistant will think your talking to the voices in your head!" i snap back
"I covered for you, so you better start explaining things!" he says
"well thank you so very much for covering for me, but i dont have to explain ANYTHING!" i quickly jump up and unlock the door and shut it behind me, right as he gets on the other side of the door and starts trying to pull it open. i pull all my weight against it and lock it quickly. then i run back down the hallway and into my room, leaving his head full of questions, i'm sure.

"hi shelly..uuh...her-heres your bre-bre-breakfast!" and while she walks into my room, shes close to the wall, slowly sliding closer to me...shes obvioulsy afraid of me
"ooohh you've heard those stories...all the stories about the trouble i cause...havent you?" i say in a sneaky voice, enjoying this fun
"uuhh yea?" she kinda whispers and as she puts the tray of food on my lap, i quickly jump at her and she runs out the door!! and i just laugh my head off and then Mr.Smathers walks by my wide open door, but he dont look so happy
"what did you do now?" he says irritated
"oohh nothing" i say smiling
"i swear, if you do anything your a** is outta here" but i just look at him, with this deadly stare and he soon walks out but he forgets to lock the door....soo i get to the door and slowly open it....i look both ways and no ones there, soo i just slip out the door and walk to meli's room, i peak through the tiny window and shes just sitting on her bed with her head down...soo to get her attention i knock on the door and her head pops up...and then i start making weird faces at her...and then she sticks out her tongue at me but i flick her off and then run over to allison's room but as i look through the window, i see shes not there...soo i just hurry back to my room before someone catches me!!...i run back to my room and as im running to my room, i pass by a bathroom and that door slowly opens...i hear that person talking on their walkie talkie and i notice that its Mr.Smathers and soo now i dash to my room and hurry to shut the door and lock it....
"oohh yeeaa im good...uhh huh!!" and i do my little victory dance but then someone burst open the door and its Smathers!!

Vampire-Princess-Meli
Part ...31

I just saw Shelly run off. That little brat! I ran up to my window to see where she went. Then all the sudden... BAM! She's running back to her room. I start pounding on the door. "Let me out! I want to punch her!" I start screaming. Two guards was walking up. I knocked on my window to get their attention. They just ignore me and walk away. Then Freya comes along. She opens the door.
"Here you go Meli. Breakfast is..." she stopped talking. "Where is she?"
I hurry out the door before she could catch me. A man came out of Shelly's room and I hurried to turn a corner. I watched him as he walked by grumbling about something. "That little rat. I can't wait til she leaves..." He's probably talking about Shelly. I ran up to her window and she's skipping around laughing. I knocked on the door and she stops. She smiled and says something. I flipped her off like she did to me and her mouth dropped open. I just had to laugh at her face expression. "Hmm... I wonder where James is..." I see Avery peeking out from a door. I walked over to her. "Avery?"
"oh! You scared me..." she panted.
"Uh...?" I gave her a confused look.
"I'm trying to get to you guys... I need to know when we are getting those teddy bears!"
"Okay okay... shesh... We are getting them pretty soon I'm sure." I said.
"Oh... do you know who's all coming?" she asked.
"Well... your boyfriend, James, is-"
"He's not my boyfriend!" she growled.
"Okay... you FRIEND, James, is-"
"He's not my friend either!"
"Well he's coming!" I yell at her. Finally she just nods. "And Shelly, Allison, you, me, Adam, and I know the other James is picking us up..."
"Wait... Adam?"
"Well.... yeah... he wants out too."
"Good luck convincing the other girls to let you bring him."
"I'm bringing him whether you guys like it or not.
"Fine. FIne. Hey.... question."
"What is it?"
"Can I call your James Matt instead? I get confused with James W around..."
"Why Matt?"
"Cause that's the lead singer of Relient K! Or can I call him Relient K dude?"
"Uh... Sure?"
"Thanks!" she runs off.
I turn around and end up banging into someone.



Meowh
Meli starts leavin after telling me the big news.
"Hey! Don't walk away from me!!" I shout after her, but she turns a corner, and Matt comes into sight.
"Matt!" I say, diverting my attention to him.
"Matt?" He says, wondering why the heck I just called him matt.
"Matt? What are you talking about. Man, maybe you really are luney."
"What!? You just said-"
"Do you have the teddy bears yet?"
Confused by the severeturn in conversation, he slowly replied, "I got mine. You?"
"Not yet, I think I should go back to my room and wait for it. Don't want to miss it." I act like i'm about to walk away, but all ninja-like, a turn around and give him a big fast hug.
"Wha-?"
"BYE!!" I shout running back to my room, happy that I got away with giving him a hug.
I return to my room, and shut the door.

The door opens, and I felt heart skip from the excitement of getting my teddy bear.
"Lunch!" The lady says, bringing the muck they call for food.
"Thank you." I say polietly expcting somemore news.
"Well, bye!" She says, exiting the room.
"Wait!!," I shout, "Anything else you wanted to tell me?"
"Um.. nope." And she lockes the door on her way out.

"YES LUNCH TIME!!" i say running to the door and waiting for my nurse to come get me...cause im STARVING! about 2 minutes later, she walks in with a happy look
"ok why are you so happy? its kinda creepy" and then she pulls out a teddy bear from behind her
"it just came in today...its soo CUTE!"
"aahhh yea gimme that..." but as i tried to get the teddy bear, she refused to give it to me
"but its soo cute!!" she said and i just tugged on it more and then finally, i just pushed her down and took the teddy bear
"OOOHH WAT NOW LOOOSSSSSAAA!!" and i jump out the door galloping with my teddybear in hand....i burst into the lunchroom and i see the girls at the table, looking quite depressed...so i thought i should cheer them up....i ran to the table singing!!
"I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND...LALALA!! I CAN BE YOUR FRIEND...LALALA...now take it away allison!" i sang and then pointed to allison but she stared at me with this deadly stare
"ooo my god...dont sing" she said with no emotion on her face
"ooohh lets turn that frown upside down!" and i ran over to her and moved her mouth to a grin but she pushed me away and then tackled me down "DONT FIGHT YOUR FRIENDS!" i said that again and again until she stopped
"ok guys this escaping thing, we gotta do it TONITE!" says meli getting to the point
"lets get down to business...to defeat the Huns....did they send me daughters" sang ave and then i jumped on the table and started singing with her
"when i asked for sons.." i sang along and now me and ave are on the table singing and dancing but it ends when allison throws a cookie at ave's forehead and ave falls backwards and flips off the table
"ok anyways ...as i was saying" says meli forgetting ave "wat time shall we leave or dorms?"
"around 11.30 ...thats when the nurses and doctors actually go to sleep..." says allison
"ok then 11.30 it is....yeeaa WE CAN DO IT!! yeeeaa " i scream and then ave randomly starts singing the great escape by boys like girls
"throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great eescape, we wont hear a word they say...they do-" says ave getting cut off by me
"ok ave i think thats enough singing for the day..." and we all get up and head back to our dorms...waiting for the clock to say 11.30

as i'm walking back to my room i see "matt." (that was the name right? i mean RK Dude.) and i walk up casually next to him.
"sooo...how's life?" i ask
he just says "fine."
"ooh really? thats absoloutly fantastic!" i gush
he nods.
"soo..umm...chocolate chip cookies sure are yummy aren't they?" i ask trying to make conversation
he nods again
"can you please reply to my comment?" i ask
"yes. they are." he simply states
well. i've had just about enough of this. so i stand in front of him and stare him in the eyes. he just stands there emotionless.
"can you get out of my way?" he asks.
i slap him across the face "GET SOME EXPRESSION!" i shriek and then run off down the hallway. i peek over my shoulder right before i turn and see him with his mouth open staring after me and i have to put my hand over my mouth to smother a giggle. then i'm off to my room.

Part ?

I'm walking down the hall and then BAM! "Matt" is standing there with his mouth wide open staring at nothing.
"Um... Matt?" I poke him.
He doesn't respond.
"Matt!"
He stares at me confused. "Uh... why'd you just call me Matt?"
"Because, It's so confusing when we have two James. Since you look like Relient K and the lead singer is-"
"okay... please... be quiet." he sighs. "I was just looking for you."
I cocked my head to the right. "You were?"
"Yes, did you guys get the teddy bears?"
"Um... yeah. See!" I pulled mine out from underneath my shirt. "Isn't it adorable?! I named him fufucuddlypoofs."
"What? And why did you pull it from underneath your shirt?"
"Because he was cold..." I mumbled.
"It's a friggin teddy bears for god's sake!"
"He has feelings ya know!"
"Meli... he's stuffed... he doesn't move... doesn't breath... doesn't do anything! He isn't alive!"
"Jeffery does those same things... yet HE'S alive!"
"Who's Jeffery?"
"My tree."
"... You're... tree?"
"Mmhmm. That reminds me... I haven't given him a hug in years... poor poor Jeffery."
He began to say something but then shut his mouth quickly. "I'm not even gonna say it..."
"Anyways... So come back here at 11.30 okay? That's when we are gonna start."
"Alright."


part something something CELESTE's part!!!!

I put my foot to the pedal and sped onto mainstreet. I dialed a number on the cellphone i had taken from my "new mom" and waited for the person on the other end to pick up. It picked up and i instantly said
"are you there?"
instantly an old womans voice replied cheerily "yep dearie! ready for action!"
"alright, i'll be there in one minute"

St. Mungos assylum was on fire, or at least that's what the doctors thought as i pulled into the parking lot of the assylum. Doctors were ushering patients through the front doors as i heard a blaring fire alarm sounding from in the building. suddenly enough i also heard some high screams that sounded like my great aunt nan. With my doctors jacket on i ran into st. mungos. none of the other doctors seemed to notice me but an old fogie with his hand shaped like a gun. he pointed his "gun" at me and fired many times, making the noise of a crazed hamster. i gave him a wink and continued running through the hospital. all over the place there were old people going bitterly crazy and doctors scratching their heads and wondering where these people had come from. i wondered where are my friends, and then i saw a guy named "matt" that i thought was part of the escape plan. i ran up to him just as my great aunt nan popped out of no where and started harrassing the young man by shouting "TAKE ME ON THE FLOOR DUN NA NA NA NA NANANA!" and tugging at matt's clothes.
i whispered to her while dragging her away "no nan, these are my friends!"
"oh hi cory," nan said with a cracked grin.
i pointed to a herd of frazzled doctors trying to get people to safety and said "go harrass them"
right then, my friends who happened to be with matt noticed who i was underneath the doctors cloak and cropped hair.
"cory!" shouted shelly
"shh!" i said "call me doctor." then i took meli by the shoulders and motioned for everyone to follow me out of the hospital.
as we got to the front doors one of the doctors broke off from his herd and tried to help me with my friends, the mental patients.
"No!" i shouted back to him "i got these ones covered"
as i ran with them all to my van i shouted "how many of you are there?"
"seven!" shouted allison.
"good," i said "i think we will all fit."
i got into the drivers seat, everyone buckled in, and we were off.
"wooo!" avery shouted " i can't believe i'm out of there!"
everyone else laughed merrily. i kept driving with a smile on my face, hoping that police cars werent after us. i glanced in my rearview mirror and saw someone sitting in the backseat that i knew.
i smiled and said "hey devan"
no one answered for a few seconds, because they were too happy, but then allison said "cory, who are you talking to?"
adam answered "to me."
before anyone else could say anything more I announced to the carload "ladies and gentleman, let me introduce to you devan corrona, master of diguise! or as you know him, adam... i don't know your last name."
"Bean, but i like Corrona better anyway" he answered.
meli turned to him and said "so is your name devan, or adam?"
devan replies "it's devan, adam was just a disguise"

part bleeeeeeh: ALLISON!

we sat in the car, all slightly confused, but still very happy at finally being out.
"so cory...what was up with the old people?" i asked raising an eyebrow.
"well, the crazy lady harrasing matt was my great aunt nan. She was sitting in a retirement home and i called her up and told her to bring her friends and be crazy as a distraction to the other doctors. I couldn't get all the supplies for the great escape-"
Shelly started singing "throw it away forget yesterday we'll make a great escape we won't here a word they say, they don't know us any-"
"SHUTTUP!" meli yelled at her throwing a panda that she found on the floor of the car at shelly's face.
"continue." i said to cory
"anyways, i couldn't get some of the supplies so i had to bring in a distraction. so that's where the old people come in...my great aunt is crazy, but i love her." a tear ran slowly down cory's cheek.
hmm..i wonder what that's all about...
"so. back to business" I said gathering people's attention "i sneaked into the record room to steal all of our records, and while i was there i searched one of the computers for possible places for us to go once we get out of here. And i've found...." i trail off, letting the suspense bug them
"Well, out with it!" avery demands
"a SUPER SECRET SPY BOARDING SCHOOL ACCADEMY!" i burst hopping up and down in my seat. the other girls stared at me for awhile and then a grin stretched across meli's face.
"so..what are we going to become ninjas?" shelly asked
"yesssss! it's my dream come true!" meli said holding up her hands in a little prayer "thank you!" she whispered towards the sky
"anyways, at this accademy they teach all sorts of things. ninja skills," i grinned at meli "disguises, sneaking skills, how to stalk people," meli blushed and glanced towards matt "cunning, acting, lots of things." i finished.
"so..are we going to go there?" avery pressed.
"of course, so long as you guys are willing. but we'll all have to change our appearance," i glanced over at cory, with her short cropped brown hair and penciled on eyebrows. "like cory, she did a pretty good job with her disguise. So i think the first stop before the academy will be...well probably a salon..."
some of the boys in the back grumbled
"oh, shuttup!" i snapped at them "you either change your appearance or we dump you back at the assylum."
"okay, what else should we do?" shelly asked.
"well, we need to change our names a little..probably not first names, just last names. otherwise we might slip up and call each other the wrong thing. so...any ideas?"


spaztastic-emo
part.....SHELLY!

as we drive quickly to the salon because we need to change our looks RIGHT AWAY!! We arrived at a salon on the outskirts of town called Change Your Look
"well this should be a good place to "change our looks"...haha you get it cause like the store is called that and...uuhh...yeeaa" says ave noticing that no one was laughing at her stupid joke. We all get out the van except cory's great aunt, she was gonna stay in the van to be our little look out and to warn us if the assylum people were coming. We all walked into the salon and it smelled really good, like fruityness! They were all women in there, women in their twenties, i guess they were descent looking women. I looked at the boys and their mouths were wide opened and their eyes staring at the women! Then i see meli watching matt, she wasnt happy, and she ran over to matt and closed his mouth
"ooohh haha heeeeey....uhh..." says matt still staring at the women and searching for her name....meli slaps him on the back of his head
"THE NAME IS MELI!!" she screams in his ear
"oohh ohh right yeeaa!" he says really quickly and then runs off to the other side of the room and then matt signaled devan to come with him. Devan was kinda confused the first minute but then caught on to what matt was saying and ran over to him...
"ooook then what do you people need?" says a tall, blond women, very impatiently
"well uh we just need to look totally different..like maybe different color hair and then-"
"ok come on!" says the blonde lady, cutting off cory. We follow the blonde lady down the room and come to one of the salon chairs. She grabs avery and pushes her to the seat and grabs the scissors
"wwoo woo woo!! what are you doing!!" says avery kinda scared
"oooh just calm down, im just going to give you a little trim and then i will dye your hair...mmm...blonde!! YYEEAA" says the blonde lady
"just kill me now!!" says avery then she looks at us laughing at her.."SHUT UP YOU GUYS!" she screams and we go silent.
"hey shirley come her and get this one a nice make over" says the blondie and this women who was a burnette but a little more plump than the blondie, came over and grabbed allison and pushed her into another chair next to avery.
"soo what are you gonna do to me!!" allison says excited ready for her makeover
"mmmm i was thinking a nice red! to brighten up your cutesy little face!!" she said squeezing allison's cheeks but allison's smile went to a frown and she slapped off shirley's hand....then after they went into a chair, the ladies called over more ladies to do me, meli and cory's makeover....cory was gonna have a whitish blonde hair, meli would have dirty blond on the top and brown on the bottom, and i got a light brown with a few blonde streaks that blended in. Since most of us had short hair, they had to add extentions to make it longer.....
"yeess we're done!!" said meli jumping up looking at her new hair....
"woo woo WOOO!! what about them!" said the blondie pointing at matt and devan. They looked at the blondie then each other
"oohh dont worry...uuhh about us...." said matt studdering but then the blondie walked over to them and grabbed them both and pushed them into a chair
"ok boys your turn!" said shirley
Meowh
I looked at my new hair in the mirror. It was a light blonde, with bangs straight across my brow (my avi's bangs), and the same length. I looked over to everybody else. The first thing I noticed was that Matt had an emo haircut, and it actually worked on him. It was so beautifuly emo I wanted to give him a hug, and almost did, but realized I needed to stop looking and acting emo. That would be part of my disguise, right?
"Okay, we need to head out." Cory said, running her hand through her new platinum blonde hair.
"Wait, there are only two boys in here!" I say, scanning the room. "Where's James?"
"In the car, no doubt." Alison says. "Here, no time to get him in here and make the change, I'll just buy some gel." The cashier added the gel to our bill, which Cory paid, and we left.
"How'd you get the money, Cory?" Devon asked.
"Nan gave it to me." she replied. We got in the van, and I went over with the gel to James. I gave him a smirk and attacked his head with the gel. When I was done, it was stylishly parted to the side and spiked in many different directions. We were almost out of town when we passed a mall.
"Hey, we need different clothes too right?" Meli asked. We looked at our white clothing and realized it had to be done.
As quick as possible, we entered the mall. I spotted a hot topic and was immediatly drawn to it. NO!! I shouted at myself. That's not who I am anymore.
I walked to this store I've never heard of, and shopped around. I bought a green dress empire waist dress and a stylish black jacket. I ran over to the store across the way and found the cheapest black flats and ran to change in the mall's ladies rooms. I threw away my bland white clothing in the trash and ran out to meet the others.
I didn't have time to admire people's clothing before we raced out inot the van.
We headed to our new home.


Vampire-Princess-Meli
Part... you three aren't special because of your hairstyle...

I decided to wear some light blue baggy shorts with blue converse, a white long sleeve shirt with a green tank top over it, and a blue beanie. Oh yeah, I'm going skater chick on everyone.
"Haha. We all have a theme to our outfits!" Shelly started prancing around.
"I'm the awesomest... I'm skater..." I said.
"Not uh! I think Cory's the best! She's a tomboy," Avery smiled.
"I'm the movie star," Allison started to walk around like one of those fashion model girls that think they are all that.
"I'm uh....?" Shelly looked at us for help.
"PREP!" we all said.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! MY WORST NIGHTMARE HAS COME TRUE!!!!" she cried.
"At least you have a theme. What's mine?" Avery said.
"Hmm... maybe a... party animal type?" I suggested.
"I guess... sure?" Avery replied.
"Does it even MATTER?!" Matt yelled.
"Oh be quiet Matt. You're just jealous," Allison smirked.
"Of what?! And besides... my name is JAMES!!!"
"Let's get them dressed up. Then we can go get some IDs," I grabbed onto Matt's hands and dragged him into the boy's section.
"I call James!" Avery did the same to James.
The rest got Devan.
I dressed Matt as a skater dude cause of his blond hair... even though it did look kinda of emo... but still. He could be skater too.
Devan looked like a gangsta and James looked like a rock star.
"This look suits you," I said to Matt.
He looked away and blushed.
"Awww, I think he liiiiiikes you," Allison said.
"Pssh, whateve, I'm soooo over him," I walked away.
"Hey! What do you mean?!" Matt called after me.
I ignored him. "Onward!" I yelled. We hurried and payed for our clothes, got in the car, and headed for the ID store...? Once we got to "Drivers Inc." we had to hurry and get our IDs. "You can get a driver's license here!!! Ahhh!!!"
"Aren't Drivers license and IDs the same...?" Avery stared at me.
"Oh... sure..." we walked up to the counter. A young lady with spazzy orange hair was chewing gum and talking on the phone.
"Excuse me," Cory said.
"Oh yeah, totally. Uh huh." the lady said into the phone. "No way!"
"EXCUSE ME!" Cory repeated.
"I gotta go Sharen. Bye." she hung up the phone and stared at cory. "What can I do for ya, doll?"
"They need some IDs," she pointed to us. Cory already had hers of course... since she can drive and all.
"Sure. Sure. Come here honey," she spoke to Allison. "Name, age, and birthday?"
"Allison Swanson(You little brat Krissy! You have SWAN in your last name!!! gahh!), I am 15 years old, and my birthday is April 16th.(Imma say we are all 15 so we can get our IDs)"
"Next."
"Shelly Parker, 15, (Isn't your birthday in April?)"
"Next."
"Ave Ree, 15, July 11th."
"Next."
"Melissa Colemen, 15, December 20th."
"Next..."
"Matt Fellows, 15, July 1st."
"... next..."
"Devan Benningfield, 15, November 4th(Made up...)"
"and next..."
"James Cunning, 15, August 2nd(?)"
"Okay... you all live here right?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Alright... wait here..."
We waited for about 20 minutes then the spazzy hair lady came back. "Here."
We took our IDs and ran out the door. "Onto the academy... right?!" I was practically jumping in my seat.
"Yup... no more stops... unless anyone has suggestions?" Allison replied.
