A loud bell rang waking up the sleeping Callie and her two bunk mates.

"What was that?" Callie got out of bed and groggily said.

"That was the morning bell. Every morning it goes off at five A.M. It is a warning bell that signals that we have five minutes to get up and get ready before the guards come down and take us to do our jobs," Zarra spit out getting annoyed.

"What kind of jobs?" Callie asked to no one in particular.

"We have to go down and then someone will assign us what we do everyday," Skippy said speaking up.

"How often do the jobs change?"

"Umm... Hello she just said we go down everyday to get new jobs," Zarra cut in.

"Oh OK," Callie replied.

"Now come on, let's go we have less then a minute left and I am not going to get in trouble because of you two sorry a***.

As the three cell mates walk down talking someone walks right into Callie. "HEY! Watch where you are going, newbie, some of us are trying to walk here," a voice yells silencing the entire hallway.

"But you walked into me," Callie mumbled softly.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"You better hope it was nothing. You got something to say you say it."

"Ok, I said you walked into me I didn't walk into you so maybe you should be the one apologizing!" Callie's voice began to rise as she turned around to face the girl.

"EXCUSE ME! NOBODY TALKS TO ME THAT WAY AND GETS AWAY WITH IT."

"WELL CLEARLY SOMEONE SHOULD."

With that last remark the girl who bumped into Callie pushed her so hard she hit a wall rattling her brain. "That will teach you how to talk to me," she remarked turning around.

Just then Callie gets herself off of the wall and replies, "I don't know I wasn't very convinced."

The girl turns around and slams Callie against the wall. Just then a security guard comes out and grabs the girl off of her and takes her away, breaking up the fight for good.

"Who was that?" Callie asked facing Zarra and Skippy.

"That's Daphne or as we like to call her, the bully," Zarra answered.

"She's been ever since we both got her. She's in here for drugs, armed robbery, assault, and gangs," Skippy continued.

"Is she always like that?" Callie asked getting nervous.

"Pretty much. Listen I would stay away from her. She's not one to mess with. She means business," Zarra informed.

With that comment they walked away to get their jobs not saying another word about it.

A few weeks later Callie was getting out of juvy.

Callie is walking in the line at the end of the day. She realizes she is right behind Daphne whom she has not spoken to since the last time they crossed paths.

"You're getting out today, huh? That's what we heard," Daphne speaks up.

Callie just stands there knowing whatever she says will only make the situation worse. She pretends she doesn't hear Daphne and hoping she will go away trying to hide the scared look on her face.

"Why are you so quiet, huh? Who was all mouth the other day when I confronted you? Lost my yard privileges 'cause of you," Daphne continues.

Daphne looks behind her looking to see where the officer is. Then she turns back around. Not being able to refrain herself any longer she turns around and starts beating Callie up with her friends doing the same.

When the officer finally breaks up the fight he calls Zarra and Skippy to take care of Callie. They do as they were told bringing her with them into the showers which were close by.

"What were you thinking you didn't even try to fight back?" Zarra asked before taking a washcloth and trying to take off some of the blood from her lip which was bleeding badly.

When Callie said nothing Skippy jumped in, "and why didn't you tell us you were getting out today?"

Callie spoke up for the first time, "I don't know I guess I didn't really think it was going to happen."

"That's stupid, Skippy and me have been there for you and we would have totally supported you."

"I'm sorry I guess I didn't really think you would care. Do you think we could forget about it?" Callie pleaded.

"Of course we would but only on one condition," when Callie didn't respond Skippy continued, "you have to drag your sorry a** back in here and visit me and Zarra over here every once and a while."

Callie laughed as she spoke, "I promise."

Later that day as Callie had gotten her belongings back and changed to her old clothes she was greeted by a man.

"I'm David, I work with Bill at Child Protective Services."

"Um where's Jude? Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know."

"I need to speak to him? Where's Bill? Why isn't Bill here?"

"We'll have to talk about that later."

"I just, I don't understand why I can't talk to Jude."

"That's enough. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Callie, this is Lena," David said as he and Callie walked up to Lena. "Lena, Callie." "I guess I could take her to one of the group homes," David said while looking down.

Just as Lena was about to say no she looked into the young girls eyes. She felt sorry for the girl who had been through so much. "It's just for a few weeks, right? Ok," Lena reluctantly agreed.
