Thank you for the reviews, the suggestions really help!

OK. So my first day at Elm Tree didn't exactly go to plan...

I wake from my peaceful sleep to an unpleasent banging noise. I groan turning on my side covering my ears which the white pillow which was covered in my bright make up. The banging continues no matter how hard I try to block it out. 'WHAT' I scream.

'Mike wants a word in the office about yesterday' Tracy's replies. 'Hang on' I sigh taking the fact that she wouldn't go away. I stretched pulling on an orange hoodie and chucking on a pair of black jogging bottoms. Slipping out of my room Tracy leads me to the office where an unpleased looking Mike awaited.

I stood lent up against the wall, my eyes wondering around the room while he lectured. 'What was you thinking, your first day?' He asked.

I shrugged my shoulders not in any mood to speak, didn't have the energy to argue back 'Washing up duty for a week, lucky for you Liam's fine' He ordered. Knew it... totally worth it.

Typical though, I get in trouble for punching him yeah. But he can say and do what he likes. At least he doesn't live here so I didn't have to see the smug look on his face for a couple more days. I trudged away from the office heading to the noisy kitchen. As I strolled in everyone's head shot up turning to me.

Silence.

'Come sit here' the blue haired girl, who I know knew, was Elektra smiled pulling out a chair for me.

I slumped down pouring my self some cheerio's everyone still sat in utter silence. 'What's your last name?' The boy with jet black hair asked as I poured the milk. Puzzled I replied 'Rose' before scooping up a spoon full and shoving it my mouth.

He nodded intently before jotting it down in his black notepad. 'So...' I say wanting to break the ice.

'How is everyone?' I laugh, not really caring but just wanting to make chat.

I spotted Mike standing in the doorway watching my every move just waiting for me to throw the next punch, once a kid with anger issues always a kid with anger issues to him.

'Toast?' Tracy asked buttering two pieces of toast before placing it down on the table. Elektra scooping it up and chomping on it.

After breakfast everyone headed to the lounge. I glanced around making sure to be out of earshot of the care workers.

'So what do you do for fun around here?' I ask heading over to the pool table which was occupied by Frank and Johnny. They both glared at me.

'Clearly friends with Liam then?' I said in a sarcastic tone before leaving the bunch of boring muppets and going to entertain myself.

I filled a bowl of old manky porridge before slowly dripping it down into the shoes which lay in the hall.

'Lame' a voice commented from behind making me nearly drop the bowl I spin around relieved it was just Elektra. 'Oh yeah then what do you suggest?' I ask waiting to see what rubbish ideas she came up with.

She turned to me before heading over to the kitchen cupboards and pulling out the salt and sugar. I shook my head. 'Wow original' I chuckled. As she switched the salt and sugar content and unscrewed the lids on the sauces.

'Pure evil!' I told her sarcastically rolling my eyes. Grabbing the tub of butter from inside the fridge before scooping some out and smearing it on the bottles of glass in the fridge, wanting to get one up on her.

'That'll do' I say satisfied clearing up the evidence before strutting off with Elektra in toe. I slump down on my unmade bed. 'So, how long you been here?' I ask Elektra who was stood awkwardly in the corner.

'Like 9 months, something like that' she informs me. 'Oh, so they haven't kicked you out?' I ask thinking that by the looks of it she wasn't one that liked to follow the rules.

'Surprisingly no...' 'Get away with anything if you're smart enough' she explained. Looking through my collection of cd's.

'Oh right, what have you gotten away with?' I ask interested.

'When I first came got them all nicking things for me...' She replied slumping down on top of the draws.

These latest bits of information making my brain explode with ideas. 'How come there's no cobra's anymore?' I pipe up. 'What how do you no?' She says startled.

Another thing being in care, news travels fast very fast. You get to know things like the gangs, and who to befriend and who to steer clear off.

'Your sly, I like that' she says grinning at me. 'I know... your not too bad either could learn a thing from you'

'Knock knock, lunch' Tracy yelled through my bedroom door. I looked at Elektra who was laughing just like I was. 'Let the mayhem begin' I whispered to her before wondering out my bedroom heading towards the kitchen.
