Sarah's Story

Chapter 1: The Arrest
Hello, my name is Sally Storm. I live in Seattle, Washington. I go to South Park Middle School. My best friend's name is Avery, but she goes by Lily. Don't ask me why, but she does.

Lily is not a normal 15 year old. Her Dad is never around and Mom is always drink so most of the time when she comes to school she smells like alcohol 'cause her Mother drinks so much of it, it rubs off on Lily and she's got marks all over her face. That is if she even there. Her Mother has taken her out of school so many times she has flunked the seventh grade twice.

I have called the police multiple times, but they can never prove that she is the reason Lily has all of those scars on her face and she is hardly ever in school. The police finally got on my last nerve that they never even try to find evidence that Lily's Mom is doing all of these things to her. So, I said, "go over and watch for yourself, her Mom is drunk every" after I asked nicely for them to go over to Lily's house.

The police officer named Billy said, "That is no way for you to talk to a police officer."

"I'm surprised you even call yourself a police officer, because you sure don't act like one. Just sitting around here eating donuts all day wearing a uniform doesn't mean you're a police officer, well, at least not in my book." I said.

"You lady, come with me. That is no way to talk to a police officer," said Billy.

"There you go again calling yourself a police officer."

"Now, I am definitely not checking out your friend's house."

"This has nothing to do with Lily. Fine I'll just tell another police officer."

Chapter 2: The Car Ride

"Hey, what are you doing Sally? Calm down, you just need to get in the car and take a short ride down to juvenile detention center."

"Why? I didn't do anything."

"Yeah you did. You smart-mouthed an officer."

"I have to go to the Juvenile Detention Center for that. You ever heard of freedom of speech?"

"You didn't let me finish. You also killed someone," said Billy.

"No, I didn't" shouted Sally.

"Yes, you did it, says right here, Sally Storm had 1103," Billy exclaims.

"What's a 1103?" Sally asked.

"It means you murdered someone." Billy said.

"Then who did I murder?" Sally asked.

"That is confidential," said Billy.

"You're accusing me of this and I can't even know." Sally asked madly.

"I told you it was top secret any way we are here." says Billy.

Chapter 3: The Arrival

"You don't know, do you?" questioned Sally.

"Fine, I'll tell you who you killed even though you already know you killed her." Billy said.

"So, who is it?" Sally asked angrily.

"Oh, it's Luccinda Walker." Billy said.

"That's Lily's Mom and no, I would never kill Lily's Mom. Lily's my Best Friend. Is that why she wasn't at school this morning? Poor Lily." Sally said.

"Let's go inside. I need to check you in." said Billy. I didn't say anything. I was still in shock about Lily's Mom. As we walked in, I saw the front desk and on each side of the desk were two doors that were locked. I tried to see if there was anything else but I didn't see anything. I was still in shock and then at the front desk the guy that was talking to Billy had a name tag that said Logan Walker. I just stood there staring at his name, trying to process all of this information. When Billy said that I needed to come with him, I just stood there as if my brain was not connected to my feet anymore. That's when Billy came over and asked if I was alright.

I said, "no I'm not alright. Do I look alright?" Billy just looked at me then picked me up. I yelled at him to put me down I kicked and screamed, but he wouldn't let go, he just tightened his group around my waist.

Chapter 4: My Cell

When we got to my cell I see there is another boy, but he has his back turned so I can't see his face. When Billy opens the cell he walks in then sets me down then leaves. I ask the boy, "What's your name?"

The boy says, "Nathan."

"Nathan, have you been here very long?" I asked. Nathan just stood there and didn't say anything. I asked him, "Is there something wrong? Did I say something?"

Nathan answered, "Nothing's wrong, it was the past. There is nothing we can do to change it."

As he was saying that, I realized he was totally hot! Nathan said, "Quit looking at me like that."

I look up at that moment. He said, "What's your problem?"

That's when I heard a bell. It sounded like a school bell, but I think it was louder. I asked, "what's that?"

He said, "That means that they are coming around with our food for dinner..."

"Sally, my name is Sally."

"Oh, ok, well, Sally."

"What is for dinner?" Sally asked.

"Meatloaf." said Nathan.

"What do you do all day?" Sally asked.

Nathan said, "Nothing really. If we have a cell mate we talk with them but other than that, nothing."

"They don't even give you a book?" Sally asked.

"Well, sometimes, if we are lucky, but a lot of us can't even read." Nathan said.

"Can you read?" Sally asked Nathan.

"No" Nathan said, Shamely.

"Then on the days I can get a book I will teach you how to read" Sally said.

"You don't have to, it's not like I will ever get out of here." Nathan said.
