My cell was bigger than I thought it would be. It was cold and plan with one bed, a toilet, a sink and a tiny window. I sat on my new bed and closed my eyes. I tried to picture my house and my brothers but everything seemed like a blur. I knew I wasn't a particularly strong person but being in that cell in the first hour proved it to me without a doubt. I would've given anything to be back home with Darry and Soda. The thought of Johnny being in the cell right next to me didn't help either. I couldn't talk to him or see him until the next day. I wondered what he was thinking….
My cell door swung open causing me to jump in surprise. A guard with short brown hair and piercing blue eyes walked in.
"A little jumpy are we?" he said smiling. I knew I'd hate him from that very moment. His smile was insincere and ugly. His name tag read "GIBBINS"
He tossed a pair of jeans and a blue shirt and some underwear on the bed and said "change your clothes".
I grabbed the clothes and held them in my hands, waiting for him to get out.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" he shouted.
"Aren't you going to leave so I can put my clothes on?" I said. It made sense to me.
He looked at me as if I was the stupidest person on earth.
"No I aint leaving. This aint no camp so you better get used to being watched buddy. Everything you do from now on you'll be watched. Day and night. There's no escape. You want to piss, shit, shower, write a letter to your folk, change your clothes, you're gonna be doin' it in front of somebody so get used to it. Now get up!"
I shot up in the air and fumbled with my pants button to buy some time. I used to change in front of Darry and Soda and even Johnny sometimes but it was different. They never looked at me like this guy was looking at me. I tried to figure out how I was going to change without that pervert seeing more than was necessary.
"Well go on" he said, a sinister smile forming on his face. I sighed turned around, giving him my back. I pulled off my pants in defeat. I closed my eyes and silently wished I was dead.
