I spent a while in the cafeteria. Once the officer talking to Officer Thompson, I walk over to him and sit in front of him, but not facing him.

"Officer Thompson" I say sitting down.

"Braxton" he acknowledges.

"You were staring at me" I say.

"Maybe" he responds.

"Why?"

"I don't know. I'm trying to figure you out" he answers.

"What do you mean?"

"You seem incredibly strong. You're not like the other girls in here and that's a good thing. I don't know how you've ended up here"

"It's a long story. How am I not like the other girls? I'm a 'criminal' aren't I? That's what you called me" I state.

"You're not like them, because you are strong and tough. You stand up for yourself and you aren't afraid. All these girls, they're afraid of being in here, but also of getting out of here. They pick on other people to build themselves up. People pick on you, but you don't let it bring you down, you stay strong. You're smart...and beautiful" he explains.

A smile forms on my face. I don't know how to respond, but, he speaks before I get the chance to.

"Alex, that's my name. When we are alone, call me Alex. Not Officer Thompson" he says.

I stand up, turning around and facing him.

"Okay, Alex. Call me Will, when we are alone. Not Braxton" I smile happily and then walk past him to my cell.

But I feel his hand grab my wrist and I turn around.

"Come with me" he instructs.

I follow him and we go to the first aid room, he closes the door as I sit up on the bench. He grabs a first aid box and puts in next to me.

"What are you doing? I'm not hurt" I laugh quietly.

"I know, but I want to talk to you. The kit is just in case someone walks in and I'll tell them that your nose was in pain" he shrugs.

"That's smart. So, what's it like being a juvie officer?" I question.

"Not interesting, quite boring. I didn't choose to be here, my father made me. I want to be a mechanic, I'm good with cars. What do you like to do?" he responds.

"Surf. I love to surf. And hang out with Matt, Seth and my brothers"

"Who are Matt and Seth?"

"They're my best mates from school, were really close" I answer.

"So, your the leader of the River Boys" he says.

"You looked up about me" I smirk.

"Sorta, I also saw that your three older brothers are in prison. I'm sorry, it must be hard for you" he says.

"So, since you looked up about me, do you think I'm a crim?"

"No. I think you are a girl who's loyal to her family and gang. You stand up for what you believe and are as tough as nails. I know also, that you are incredibly beautiful" he notes, walking towards me.

"Are you coming over to fix my nose?" I laugh.

"No, I'm coming over to do this" he says.

He puts his hand in my cheek and kisses me powerfully. I am in shock, but then I immediately kiss him back, realising that I want this too. He leans back and smiles goofily.

"I should go, before someone comes" I blush.

"Yeah, probably" he nods.

I smile and go to the door, but before I open it, I turn to look at him.

"By the way, Alex. I liked the kissing" I smirk and then walk out.

It's getting late so I head back to my cell and decide to call it a night. Skipping the disgusting dinner doesn't really bother me anyways. So I go to my rock hard bed and call it a night, feeling for once, incredibly happy.

I wake up to the sound of the speaker calling us for breakfast. I slowly pull my self up and walk to the cafeteria. I get there, grab some toast and go sit down. I am alone, until Harriet, Kate and a few other girls come over and sit around me.

"You know she tried to hide being a Braxton from me" Kate laughs.

"Pathetic" Harriet chuckles.

"I told my leaders that she's here and they told me what to do" Kate adds.

"You spoke to the Wests? How are those assholes?" I ask turning to face her.

"They're having fun with your brothers" she smirks.

"What did they do?" I glare.

"Oh, it hasn't happened yet. But it will, soon"

"You stupid bitch" I hiss.

"This is what they told me to do" she states and then her hands go on to my neck and we fall off the table.

She chokes me tightly, but I knee he in the stomach and punch her face hard. I am still choking for air, but she is grabbed off of me by guards. I gasp for air and glare at her deadly.

"Take her to first aid Thompson, we'll take Harriet here to the detention area" an Officer instructs.
