"Ah," He hummed with a small shrug. "Not sad, not really. Don't pity me, I despise pity. This place is fine, is what it is; I have no complaints - free food and shelter is never something to whine about."

"I know.. I get that... I may never have been homeless by force... But quite a few of my foster parents were happy to collect a cheque for my upkeep whilst I was living on the streets to get away from them."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 7:42

"That's despicable," He mumbled with a shake of his head, "How old are you?"

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 7:43

"I turned seventeen a few weeks after I got here six months ago... I leave in like a year so I'll be spending my eighteenth in here too... you?"

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 7:46

"You tell me." He replied with a quiet laugh, "How old do I look?"

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 7:50

"I'm bad with ages... but this is a schooling facility. Those too old to be in highschool are put in prisons... so eighteen at the oldest?"

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 7:55

"Yeah," He replied with a nod in response to that. "18."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 7:57

"You'll be transferred within a year then mm? Unless you failed a year..."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 7:58

"Be pretty pathetic of them to throw me in a jail for petty theft now, wouldn't it? They'll probably let me go free after I spend the little bit of time here." He whispered with a frown, "I wish I were younger, had longer in here; don't really want to go back out there."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:03

"I know how you feel... When you leave, if you have any money left in your commissary... They let you take it. That's why I'm trying to get money into it. Not to buy treats. To save up for when I get out. I reckon in the year I have left I could get a hundred or so in there..."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 8:10

"A hundred doesn't go far these days though, does it? Which is a real shame."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:17

"It's better than nothing."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 8:24

"Yeah, I suppose.... How is it you make money here then? Other than taking someone under your wing for a week?"

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:29

"Cleaning duties, kitchen, bathrooms and the like. Sometimes I help the teachers out, filing their paperwork, cleaning their classrooms. Once a month the pool in the gym gets dredged out. It's a twelve hour job that starts at four am. That pays $10 which as you'll come to realise is like a hundred grand in here...."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 8:33

"But your doing all that so would there be any room for me? Would they need me?"

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:42

"I'm sure there'll be room."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 8:53

He nodded, "It sounds like a good thing to do to get some money."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:54

"Stealing my idea huh?"

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 8:56

"If thats alright,"

Vampire-Apprentice Mon 24 Aug - 8:57

((Hey best hey Phoenix sorry to interrupt Smile

but best do you wanna rip for a bit?))

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 8:58

"That's perfectly fine."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 9:03

He just smiled brightly in response to, "Well, thank you very much little lady."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 9:05

"I'm not little. Nor a lady."

**BestNameEva** Mon 24 Aug - 9:07

"But I like alliteration."

Phoenix Mon 24 Aug - 9:09

"And why's that?"
