When Sunday rolled around, the three girls and I were pulled from garden duty for laundry duty. "Why do we have to handle the boys' laundry?" Emily asked as she held up Jack and Phil's clothes.

"I have no idea." I said. "Just grab the clothes." Emily pilled the blue clothes into the bags. We walked out of their room and into the hallway.

"Why were we picked for laundry duty?" Emily asked me.

"They wouldn't trust Sarah with the machines." I told her.

"True." Emily said. We walked down the stairs and into the looby. We walked through it and into the laundry room, where five washing machines and five driers stood one wall. On the other wall was a counter. We put the two bags in front of two washing machines. "Come on let's go get the green boys things. Wait where is Grace and Anita?" I said looking around for the two kids. A minute later they dragged in three bags of clothes. "Where were you?" I asked.

"Getting the green boy's clothes. Were we not supposed to do that?" Grace asked as she set a bag down. I started piling some clothes in the washing machine. After there was enough in the washing machine, I started the machine. After all the machines were started we sat in a circle for a reading and writing class. I grabbed the notebooks and pencils that I had convinced our guards Oneal and Derek to give us.

"How exactly did you manage to get these?" Emily asked, as she looked at them.

"I convinced Olson and Derek to give them to us." I said. They gave me a weird look.

"Why would they do that?" Grace asked.

"Would you like to learn or keep questioning things?" I asked.

"I would like to learn." Grace said.

"Good." I said .

"Where did you learn all this stuff?" Anita asked.

"What?" I asked as I started writing the alphabet on the first page of my notebook.

"Reading, writing, math, science, history." Anita listed.

""I learned basic things in school before IANN hit and then more things on the farm I stayed on. When I was bored I would read the books there." I told them as I finished the alphabet. "Enough about me." I quickly went through the alphabet. As soon as I was done, explaining what they were the timer for the washing machines. "Keep looking at that." I said as I went to change the clothes. When I was done, I sat with them again. Throughout the day as we changed the sheets and clothes, the kids learned the alphabet and simple numbers. Halfway through the afternoon purple and pink uniforms were dumped on the counter.

"I guess that new kids are coming." I said, holding up a uniform.

"How many kids are coming?" Anita asked.

"Five." I said.

"How do you know?" Emily asked.

"There are five different numbers on these uniforms." I said pointing them out,

"Nice." Emily said. We washed the clothes and folded them on the counter. Then we were done.

"Dinner time." Anita said, as we waited by the door. " I held the notebooks in one hand and the pencil's in the other. After a few minutes of waiting, Oneal showed up to lead us back to our room. "Someone will be by later to bring your dinner later. There are new kids arriving tonight." We all remained quiet. We walked into our hall and a minute later we were in our room. Oneal stood by our door and we all waited for dinner and to hopefully see the new kids.

Thirty minutes after we were in our room, a bus swung into the camp. Because of where we were we saw the kids leave the bus. The three pinks were led off the bus, blindfolded. The first purple kid getting off was not dramatic, but the second much older kid took off running as soon as she was off the bus. The other kid started running once she realized what was going on. I saw several guards pull their handheld calm control from their holdings. I stopped the guards from pulling the triggers. I also stopped the kids from running. The guards caught up with the kids and grabbed them. I stopped the guards from punishing the kids.

When the kids went inside, I turned to look at the kids. They were looking at me strangely. I saw the wheels turning in their heads. Emily grabbed my hand and pulled me into the bathroom. Grace and Anita followed after us. When we were all in the bathroom, Emily closed the bathroom door. "What was that?" Emily whispered.

"What do you mean?" I whispered.

"You've been acting suspicious since I met you." Emily said.

"How?" I asked, getting worried.

"Earlier. Why would a bunch of guards give us book supplies and extra food and candy?" She asked, using her perfect memory to find incidents. "And tonight with the purples and the guards. Why wouldn't the guards hurt the purples?" She paused.

"You're orange." Anita said. The other looked at her and then me.

"Yes." I said.

"Why are you still here? How were you even caught?" Grace asked, because her intelligent mind was trying to figure things out.

"The guard who caught me used calm control." I said. "I couldn't escape because I didn't know where I was. I still don't know where we are." I said looking around. "And I wanted to make sure you guys got out so that's three more people."

"Why weren't you sorted as orange?" Anita asked.

"I tricked the doctor into thinking I was green." I said.

"Why would you do that?" Grace asked.

"Because people are scared of oranges. They were ready to kill me at the holding place." I whispered, yelled at them.

"Really." The three seemed surprised. There was a knock on the door, "dinner." Oneal said at the door.

"Don't say a word." I said, I walked out of the bathroom and into the main room. I got the food and water from Oneal and shut the door. I set the food down and walked back to the bathroom. The three girls were still waiting for me.

"Are we good?" I asked.

"Yeah, but how are we getting out of here?" I asked.

"Yeah." Emily said "How are we getting out of here?"

"Simple." I said. "We walk out of here."

"Why?" Aniata asked. "We would be caught immediately."

"No." I said. "We walk out of the room and keep walking. If anyone bothers us I simply make them think that they have something important to do."

"Are you sure that it would work?" Anita asked.

"It's the one thing I'm certain of. I don't know anything beyond it." I said looking around. "I was going to convince Oneal to give me a map of the general area."

"Couldn't we just stay here for a while?" Grace asked. The three of us looked at her.

"Why?" I asked, then I realized something. Grace had been on the streets her whole life. "Well stay for a while." I told her, leaning back on the tub. "Dinner first then shower. When we're done with that we'll work on math." We stood up and walked into the main room. Inside stood O'neal. "How much did you hear of that conversation?" I asked. By the look of her face she had heard the last part.
