Tavris
Your name is Tavris Nitram and you we're wheeling yourself around the area. You had been paralyzed since you we're about eight years old after an accident; you don't talk about the incident anymore since it brings back way too many bad memories.
You were wheeling around trying to find anyone to hang out with before breakfast, as the meal didn't start for about another hour. You needed something to do in the meantime while waiting. Maybe you could just go back to your room, and maybe your roommate has already left.
Dave usually was up around five in the morning when he had his nightmares. You think that the reason you shared with him was because you wouldn't mind him waking up in the middle of the night or not sleeping at all. They figured it would be a little better than getting put in with that boy Karter. Supposedly, he was always grumpy, you had only seen him the hallways and when you were eating. He was usually alone stomping around the halls or poking at the food that they fed you. You had never talked to him, he kind of scared you, although you were sure that he wasn't as bad as everyone says he is. He probably is just kind of misunderstood… maybe? You aren't quite sure what he was; whatever he was he couldn't be so bad.
You wheeled past nurses as they started to wake up some of the others. This institute focused mainly of children and teens. So the only adults were usually nurses, doctors, or security. The only security officer that you knew was Edward he was pretty nice if not a bit...stiff maybe? You can't quite find a word to describe him. It was said he used to be a former patient no one is quite sure why though. He was pretty nice to most of the patients. He was younger, so he often talked with the other teens in the facility. Most everyone seemed to like him. Apparently he can also go up to the top floor somewhere that only a few security officers can enter. He hardly went up there though. He said that he just preferred to stay down with the others.
Since most everyone in the institution was awake now you could hear the sound of people talking, walking around, and some younger children playing. You wheeled around trying to find some of the people you like to spend time with. The you passed all kinds of people several of which you saw almost every day though most of them just seem to walk past and doesn't really say anything sometimes they will smile at you and wave. Some just pass without even looking in your direction, but you didn't mind that either.
As you passed several of the nurses most of them smiled and told you good morning as they usually did. In fact the morning seemed to pass like they normally did. With nothing particular happening as you simply wait for the day to pass and for the next day to begin. It was lonely here. You missed being around your dad and older brother. You missed messing around with him and playing video games together. You still talked with your brother by sending each other letters sometimes. He kept you up to date on what was happening back home. You told him about life here and about the people you met and saw, talk about when you get to come home, and what you both are going to do after that. You weren't sure when they would let you come back home you just hoped that it would be sooner than later. You hadn't talked to the nurses or your dad about it. You probably should do that at some point.
You used the elevator to go down a floor. Most of the patients weren't allowed to use the elevator only the nurses really. However, due to your ''disability'', they allowed you to use it. After all it's not like you could use the stairs anyway. That would just be unfair and cruel if they did that. In fact without any help, you don't think there's a safe way down them. Most of the ways you could go down safely require at least one other person that isn't with you. So, the thought of not letting you use the elevator is actually quite a stupid thought. The elevator doors open and you wheel yourself out into a hallway that looks almost identical to the floor above and below you. You started wheeling around the hall seeing if you can find anyone that you know.
This floor was rather empty. A few people passed by you but mostly it was completely empty. You headed toward the next elevator. You passed a girl who seemed to be smelling the wall you just wheeled past and avoided eye contact. She seemed to one of those weird patients who do strange things without really any kind of explanation. You tended to avoid them often the things that they did kind of scared you. Sadly, there were a lot of people like that here, and it could be hard to find someone who isn't really like that. You still tried however even if the search was hard. You continued through the hall passing many others. You spoke with Natalie earlier but after a while she left, heading in some sort of random direction, probably to chat with someone else. She wasn't the weirdest patient at least - she was strange but not off putting, and you liked that about her.
At the end of the hallway one of the patients sat leaning against the wall. She seemed to be staring off into space. There wasn't a lot to do here so it makes sense that she would be deep in thought. You didn't recognize her as she looked unfamiliar… maybe she was new? You wheeled your way a little closer to her. She looked up at you nervously and you exhaled to greet her.
"H-h-hello." You hated your stutter that was partially why you were here. The other reasons you prefer not to talk about. Due to your stutter you kept your sentences pretty short to avoid stuttering so much that it becomes hard to understand. The girl stared at you before smiling.
"Hi there! What's your name?" Her voice was cheery, something that was hard to keep up with in a place like this. She adjusted her glasses to get a better look at you and you took a deep breath. She was just a girl, it's not hard to talk to girls is it? You talk to Vicki all the time! Although normally, when you talk to Vicki, she's trying to hurt you in some manner or sense. So you guess that comparing conversations with Vicki to this new girl is kind of unfair and untrue. Sadly she's the only girl you really talk to besides Natalie but you know how that works.
"I'm T-t-t-tavris. Tavris Nit-t-tram. Nice to m-m-meet you." Crap you stuttered too much. You gulped it shouldn't matter should it? No she won't care. She won't care. What if she does? No she won't she won't. You wait for her response. She stood up putting her hands behind her back as she smiled. She was about an average height. Her long black hair loose behind her ear, she smiled again this time even wider.
"Hi there Tavris! It's nice to meet you! Today's my second day here. I'm Jade Harley."
holy crap that was a mess before this should work however
