Mina's P.O.V.

I do not know why but that relatively short, simple sentence just set me off. If only she really knew why I was in care. I dived at Elektra who looked shocked, and to my surprise she fell over with me on top. The element of surprise really is very handy. I punched whatever bit of the blue clad girl as I could. Harder and harder. Then she kicked me and I nearly fell off her, but I was too angry to do that. My stomach killing, I landed another punch on her face before Mike started shouting for Tracy and pulled us both apart.

"Mina, Elektra. Stop fighting this INSTANT!" Mike shouted, looking shocked. "Elektra, go to your room. Mina, office! Now."

I walked slowly towards the office, knowing that the time had come for me to finally tell someone what really happened that day at Cardiff Bay. I sat down on the swively chair and waited for Mike to say something.

"Umm, Mina. It's great to hear you talk, but not so great to see you trying to kill Elektra," I grinned apologetically, and he carried on, "Why don't you explain to me what made you suddenly decide to talk, hmm? I knew I had to tell him everything, starting from the beginning, so I did.

I told him about Phoebe and what actually happened to her, I heard him gasp at this point and then he told me to carry on. I told him about why I don't talk, I told him that it was because no - one listened and that there was no point if not even your parents, in a matter of life and death would listen to me. I told him, it was because I did not want to hurt anybody with what I said. And finally, last of all, I told him about , my liking of Johnny and how I thought that he would never like me if I never spoke.

When I had finished Mike looked shocked, he didn't speak for a while and then said,

"I shouldn't worry about Johnny not liking you, if my suspicions are correct then I'd say he likes you too!" I smiled gratefully at the man,

"Really? You think he actually likes me?" He laughed and then shooed me away saying he had some very important phone calls to make. Probably to the police to tell them about Phoebe.

Tee and I were sitting on the sofa, side by side, cross legged, watching the boys play pool, something they seem to do continuously. I don't know why they play it all the time, but then again I have never played pool so I don't know. The boys were playing in teams, Johnny and Toby against Frank and Liam, Johnny and Toby looked happy so they were probably winning. I don't know how to tell.

Soon after, Gina came in with some big news.

"Mina and Tee, you are both going to have to share, we have three new kids coming. Two today and one tomorrow. Tee, you will be sharing with a girl called Charlotte and Mina, you will be sharing with Emma. Okay babes?

"Yeah, " we said in unison.

Then there was a knock on the door, that will be them, I thought. It was, there were two girls standing on the door step looking shyly up at Gina. They both looked completely different to the other; One had dark black hair and light sapphire blue eyes and was quite tall and very slim and altogether exceedingly beautiful. The other was slightly shorter, had bushy brown hair, soft brown chocolate eyes but was equally pretty.

"Hi, I'm Charlotte Merryweather," Said the one with the amazing hair. ( The latter )

"I'm Emma Riley some people call me Emily but that's wrong my real name is Emma I like sports do you? I do lots of sports like net ball and foot ball and hockey do you do any sports?" The one with black hair said all in one go with a huge grin on her face, not giving me chance to answer she ran into the house, "Cool there's a piano I play the piano do you? I'm not very good at it though I always forget what note to play," She giggled and headed off into The dunping ground to explore for herself.

"Come in, " I said to Charlotte, "I love your name by the way!"

"Thanks, " She said with a smile, "What's yours?"

"I'm Mina," She grinned again and I led her off into the house. I could tell that we would be friends. I looked over my shoulder to see if Tee was coming, she was. We headed up towards my room, then I remembered Emma. I shouted to Tee that I was going to get her, Tee nodded and lead Charlotte into my room.

I hurried downstairs, not wanting Emma to be lost. Or have met Elektra first. The first room I checked in was the living room. She was there, happily playing pool with the boys like she had known them all her life. I blinked in surprise and then walked over to her.

"Hi, seems you've met everybody already then?" I asked, looking around I caught Liam looking at her, and not in a 'Staring blankly into space' kind of way either. It was a deep kind of stare, like he was completely in love with her already and she had only been here five minutes. I snapped my fingers in his face, "Ermm. Hello? Anybody there? LIAM!"

"What?" He asked, like he hadn't been staring at one particular girl for the past minute or so.

"Nothing," I replied sweetly, "Just try not to make Emma feel uncomfortable by staring at her like that, it's creepy," He glared at me and I smiled back at him, laughing inside.

Then Emma decided it was her turn to answer me,

"Yeah, I have met, Johnny, Toby, Frank and Liam," She told me, stressing the name Liam and shooting a side grin at him.

"Okay, do you want to stay here and play pool or do you want to meet the others with Charlotte?"

"I'll just stay here, if that's okay, I'll meet the others at dinner,"

"Right, see you later then!" I waved and ran up the stairs back to where Charlotte and Tee were sitting on my bed laughing together. I jumped on the bed too and joined in their conversation.

"So if, you don't mind me asking, " Tee was saying, "I have told you why I am in care, so why are you in care?" she asked curiously. Charlotte fidgeted with her fingers a bit before answering.

"Well, when I was younger, my dad got involved with illegal drug dealing. At the start he didn't do it much but then he gradually did more and more drugs and then he started taking them too and he practically lived off them and then he got arrested. For a few years after dad got locked up mum was fine and we carried on just the same as always. But then when I was twelve my mum started abusing me. It started with just one little smack when I was naughty but then it progressed like it did with dad but a different thing. My mum started hitting me for the fun of it and she would come home late from work and hit me. Once, when she had had a bad day at work she threw me across the room and I it the sink and now I have a big bruise there that still hasn't gone away," She finished, Tee and I were staring at her, sorry we had asked her about her past.

"Oh," I said, "Sorry,"

"It doesn't matter, I'm fine now!" She said brightly, "What about you Mina, why are you in care?"

"I took a deep breath, ready to tell her everything.

"When I was nine I went on a family outing to Cardiff Bay with my mum, dad and sister, Phoebe. My mum and dad went to the cafe and told me and Phoebe to go and play in the sand, but not to go out of their sight, so we wandered off. Phoebe was in a bad mood that day and was teasing me. I got upset and ran up the quay to the end, out of sight from mum and dad, Phoebe followed me. When she reached me she said something so horrible that I pushed her against the railings. Hard. She yelped in surprise and fell back against the railings. Then she screamed, and I saw something that I had not seen before. I had seen that the place on the railing that I had pushed her against was rusty and the railing broke, she screamed again, trying to grab onto something, but she couldn't. I lunged forward, trying to catch hold of her shirt. I failed to catch her and she tumbled over the edge to her death. I did not know what to do, I couldn't face telling mum and dad that I had killed her. So I made something up. I told my mum and dad, when I got back to the cafe they were at that she had run away and I had not seen where she went. They had police looking for her for months but they could not find her. I wonder why!? I was so scared that someone would find out that I had killed her, but luckily no - one did.

Then on the day of my eleventh birthday, my mum and dad were taking me on birthday treat. My dad speeded up so we could get there on time and we skidded on some ice. We crashed into a lorry and my mum and dad died," I stopped, looking down at my feet. I felt Tee put her arm around me and say, "It's okay Mina, It's over. It can't happen again,"

I nodded and then heard the shout of Gina, calling us down for dinner. Tee and I took Charlotte's hands and showed her downstairs. At the table I took my usual place next to Tee. I turned and looked at Charlotte who had an unsure look on her face. I smiled my best smile at her and patted the chair to the right of me, next to where Carmen usually sat, but she was not here yet, indicating that she should sit down there. She looked at me gratefully and sat down there.

Usually, Harry sat there but, once again, he was out with Sapphire. They were going on a trip to Dareington Safari Park in north east England, it wasn't too far away so Mike had allowed them to go on the condition that Tracy went too. Harry was so exited about meeting an actual real live giraffe. Or, 'meeting Jeff the third', as Harry had put it. I had always thought it cute the way the little, blonde haired boy always expressed his feelings and thoughts through his small toy giraffe, Jeff.

Tee, Charlotte and I were the first three to get to the kitchen, where we eat, so Gina had us lay the table. Each space had to have a plastic cup, blue pink or yellow, a knife and a fork. Gina would put the plates out when the rest got here, so as to keep the food hot. Just when we had finished laying the table, Gus came in saying something about an argument in the living room.

"The new girl wouldn't tell me her name, and I got cross and then Johnny told her to just tell me her name. For some reason she said no which made me even crosser, and I started shouting at her. Liam then started shouting at me not shout at her, but then Toby came in and started shouting at Liam and that she should have just told me her name. Soon after that Elektra joined in the fight, but I think she just likes shouting, rather than she actually had a point to make. Elektra joined in and punched Liam in the face." Gus read from his black note book that he carried around everywhere with him, I thought he had finished, but no, this is Gus, he tells every single detail of what happened and when it happened.

"Then, Liam and Elektra got in a fight and Toby tried to pull Elektra off Liam. I left them then because there was too much shouting and that's why they are not coming yet. They are having a huge argument and it's all the new girl's fault for not telling me her name and I don't like her at all!" He finished, banging his notebook down on the table, shutting it.

Gina sighed and looked frustratedly at me and Tee.

"Why don't you two girls go and fetch the others, Charlotte, you don't have to, we wouldn't want you to get scared on your very first day, now would we?" Gina asked in a rhetorical question fashion.

"No, it's okay, I'll come too," Charlotte answered firmly, much to Gina's surprise, she had not expected an answer. So the three of us headed into the living room to see pretty much what Gus has described, a fight. The only differences were that Elektra and Liam were rolling around on the floor, kicking and punching each other like their lives depended on it.

Johnny and Toby were just standing, watching, not sure what to do, It was Frank and Emma who were trying to pull the pair apart. Tee shouted that it was dinner time and the two stood up, still looking angry and glaring at each other, however, they both looked unhurt ... for the moment. They ( they meaning Liam, Johnny, Elektra, Toby, Emma and Frank ,) followed us out of the room and into the kitchen to have dinner.

Johnny sat opposite me with Frank on one side of him and Toby on the other, opposite Charlotte. Liam scowled and sat down next to his best mate Frank, while Elektra sat at the end of the table, like the queen of everything. Gus was at the opposed end of the table, scribbling away in his book, like usual. No change there then, I thought. Emma had plonked herself down by Liam, who now looked happy with the seating arrangement. Carmen and Lily came down moments after and Carmen sat next to Charlotte while Lily squeezed in next to her.

While every one was silent and eating their food, I decided to take the chance to introduce Charlotte and Emma to everybody at the table, so I began.

"Okay," I said, pointing at Tee next to me, "This is Tee, she's really nice," I said, making her blush a fiery red. "And loves sowing, Charlotte, you have already met her and probably know that too Emma, but just in case you didn''t ... At that end of the table is Elektra," I was making my way around the table.

Emma's P.O.V.

While we were eating a very nice dinner of spaghetti bolognese Mina introduced us to everyone at the table, Tee who is really nice and loves sowing; Elektra is the moody one. Like I found out earlier when she attacked poor Liam for no reason whatsoever; Liam himself who is a scammer and a conner. And so, so, sooo cute, I think I might have started to get a crush on him already, even though I have only been here a few hours. Maybe I could help him with his scams, growing up how and where I did, I know more than my fair share of scams and cons; Frank, Liam's best mate and assistant scammer. Frank also has Cerebral Palsy and is very nice, just like Liam; Johnny, Tee's sister and also especially tidy and loves helping, ( Weird or what? ) ;Toby, who loves comics and / or anything to do with them, like painting models; Gus, who I now know has Asperger's Syndrome and seems to constantly be writing in his black note book; Lily, the purple lover who wears the colour continuously; Carmen, who I have heard is a big drama queen and can never keep secrets but is nice.

Also, there is two others apparently. Harry ,who loves Giraffes and Sapphire, who I'm told is an amazing artist, are out for a day at a safari park but will be coming back to the Dumping Ground later on today.

A/N: Please review, it means so much and brightens my day when I come home and see that I have a review, no matter how short or how long it's still a review! I don't mind criticism but only if you have a reason and how I can get better!

Charlotte Merryweather is TotalNerdyFanGirl's awesome character.

Emma Riley is JAMBERLOVERFOREVER's cool character.
