Chapter 19 I hate bordem

Monday rolled around fast, being trapped with the psychos it was like all the days melted and they barely had time to register what was going on. Matt however liked it like that, he barely had time to be bored. After they were finished with their school work they all tramped downstairs ready for cooking. Raven had no longer scheduled the days, they were taught whatever Raven or the other girls felt like teaching, today was cooking. Matt enjoyed the cooking, he was getting pretty good at it.

"Right, heres your recipie for today. Copy that down then we can talk about the big project. Since we have five kids, one of you will be with me. So we'll have Gina and Alana, Jamie and James which means your with me Matty" Raven announced as they coped down their recipie and she set up the familiar bowls.

"Sarge what are we making today?" Matt asked as he copied down the recipie. Raven had a habit of making them copy down one thing but making another. Today was no exception.

"Pizza because I feel like pizza and I can't be bothered getting into another arguement with that fucking pizza place"

They ignored her comment and wisely kept working, they all thought that maybe Raven was acting with her insanity but they all saw it, half the time Raven was no longer on this planet.

"Is everyone done?"

"Yes Sarge"

"Right, you all have the pizza recipe so get started, there should be enough room in my oven for three pizzas and if not one of you will have to put it in later which of course will be me and Matty."

The kids started work, it was the only time they could freely talk about anything without the wrath of punishment so as they worked Raven heard all sorts of interesting comments. She could hear everyone but Alana. She was quite quiet and she began to wonder if her father was the problem because right now Alana seemed perfectly fine and happy to be here despite the fact that she had already been smacked twice and put on toilet duty.

"Have you had a chance to talk to Alana?" Raven asked as Matt worked on their pizza. She didn't do any of the work it was all up to her partner, Matt didn't mind he liked having to work on his own.

"Yeah, she seems quite nice. Makes me wonder why she's here"

"I guess she has a reason" Raven shrugged looking over the recipie again. "But you have made some really good prgress"

"I guess" Matt shrugged it off, inside he was quite proud that she had noticed. He had been trying really hard to be a better person.

"So wanna explain to me why you pushed your mother into a fridge?"

"Please don't make me talk about that"

"Are you even sorry about it, you could of really hurt her and the baby"

Matt sighed, since being here Raven hadn't bought up the subject until right now. He was so ashamed that he just wanted to bury it forever and never have to speak of it again. "Of course I am but I can't tell her that"

"Sure you can, well not right now but in a month or so you can but I'm still wondering why you did it"

"I was angry. They seemed to always back down the moment I played up, it was no longer a challenge"

"Lemme get this straight, you like being punished?"

"No I like challenges and I was running out of them while I was at home"

"Thats why you like it here"

"Yeah"

Raven thought about what he said "Well thats crazy enough logic to actually work, welcome to the club of crazy people. I'm president"

Matt laughed "Do you think she'll forgive me?"

"Eventually if you keep showing her that you've changed and not resort back to that boy that deserves a smack in the head"

"Thanks Raven" He looked to his cousin greatfully "I guess I just really hate bordem"

"Me too Matty"
