The next day Liz and Patty got me up and got me all ready to begin a day's work. They pushed me out the door, careful not to touch the burns. We stood in a line near the door as Justin and Kisho took roll and told everyone where to be. Like Liz said, I was with the two sisters. She ruffled my hair and I swatted her hands away so she wouldn't get it tangled any more than it is already. "We go to room D28. Yeah! Easiest thing in this whole place!" Liz did a fist pump when Justin handed her three laminated cards. She gave me one but held on to the other two.

"Lets get going sis! This'll be fun!" Patty giggled and screamed when she took off in the direction of one of the big metal doors. She reached the door in no time and started to bounce on her heels, giggling like a maniac and scaring most of the kids waiting for the door to open. Liz started to walk to join her sister when she turned back and grabbed my sleeve.

"Hurry up Maka! Lets go the faster we get there the faster we can relax!" I stumbled forwards when she yanked on my sleeve and I started to walk with her.

"Where are we going exactly?"

"You will see." I huffed and crossed my arms but immediately uncrossed them when my jacket pulled against the burns. Liz laughed at me and ran to catch up to Patty. We stood at the huge doors with many other teens surrounding us. Some were young, maybe in their preteens while others were almost adults. I saw one guy who was part of the older group with two smaller kids next to him. The younger kids looked alike and they were both smiling up at the taller boy.

I wonder why they were kidnapped. I couldn't stare anymore since the doors screeched against the walls next to them. Liz had a big smile and Patty screamed and started laughing like crazy. I followed them down a series of hallways. Almost every hall had at least one teen in them, grumbling and cleaning the floors.

When we got to the room, Liz swung the door open and sat down in the most secluded spot. I sat down next to her and she explained what we were going to do.

"This is the laundry room. We throw the dirties in there," She said pointing to a funnel type thing that led into a machine, "And then we take the clean stuff from there," She moved her finger to a conveyer belt-like machine that had all sorts of fabric on it. "Then finally we throw it all in that giant basket on wheels!" She started laughing when Patty brought over an arm load of clean fabric and dumped it at her feet.

"The only difference with us is... WE LAY IN THE WARM STUFF!" Patty cackled and flopped down on the pile of clothes and towels. She wrapped herself in one of the white towels and grinned up at me. "Hey Maka look! I am a BURRITO!" I laughed and got up to do my job. I wasn't a rule breaker. I picked up a pile of dirties and threw them where they belonged. I did this a few more times before walking over to gather the clean stuff. I had an arm full of warm clothes when Patty ran up and stole what I had.

"MINE AREN'T WARM ANYMORE!" She screamed, running back to Liz. I rolled my eyes and went to collect what Patty didn't want.

"C'mon Maka, stop working." Liz gestured to sit down next to her but I shook my head.

"No thanks. I don't like breaking the rules." I picked up everything that wasn't in a tight little pile, indicating Patty was under it since little noises were heard and the pile kept moving. "Patty!" I yelled at the pile, readying a towel that was still warm.

"WHAT?!" Her head popped out, her grin huge.

"Take this!" I threw the towel at her as hard as I could and it hit her right in the face. She pretended to be hurt and fell over groaning.

"I'm hiiiit... Sis... Tell Mr. Giraffe... I love him..." She stuck her tongue out and 'died'. Liz and I started to burt out laughing and Patty came back to life. "Me dying is not funny!" She jumped up and buried Liz's head in one of the towels. Her sister squeaked and started to fight to get out of Patty's death grip.

"Patty I can't breathe!" Her sister let go of her death grip and peeked under the towel, staring at Liz's face that I couldn't see from where I stood.

"Hi, How ya doin?" Liz set her hand on Patty's forehead and pushed her away.

"You are so weird."

"And don't you forget it!"

The rest of the day was just doing laundry. Turns out we only get dinner and a small snack where lunch is supposed to be. Other teens come in about lunch time and hand us all a chip bag and a bottle of water. Liz told me that snacks are random, sometimes getting an apple, a cookie, a bag of peanuts, etc. She also told me that the best days were official holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. There were no jobs given on that day and kids were able to go as they please to designated areas. They also got a cake per living quarters and a big feast for dinner. You were also able to make crafts out of paper and paints as long as you didn't make a mess.

I stretched, thinking about what dinner will be. You get an hour before dinner to rest or take showers. 30 minutes had already gone by since I decided I wanted to be clean. My wet hair was against my back, making the shirt that was given to me cold. That was okay though, it made my burn ache less.

I found out that you were given a grey shirt and shorts to go under your uniform if you wanted to, or if you wanted to sleep in them. I decided to sleep in the shirt and shorts but keep the shorts on under the overalls since they were starting to rub in places they shouldn't be rubbing.

I was almost asleep when Liz opened the door and fell onto her bed with Patty smiling behind her. Patty's hair was wet and so was Liz's. They must have taken a shower too. "Patty you seriously need to stop fighting me to take a shower." Liz groaned into her pillow. "You are getting too old for this shit."

"You don't like taking showers Patty?" I ask the younger bubbly blond.

"Only getting in them at first and getting out of them." Liz glared at her sister. "I have to push her into the stalls and hold the door closed to not let her escape then after my shower I have to fight to open that same damn door."

"Showers and me have a love hate relationship." Patty shrugged and fell asleep on the small couch next to the small table. Liz looked like she was in no mood to talk so I just stared up at the ceiling, waiting for dinner to come.

Author's Note: Yeah got this one up... on a Sunday... School sucks. Also the title picture for the story has Maka in her uniform (The same one she wears in this story) I also drew it -u-
