With a can of soda in his left hand and a stack of brochures in his right, Tom made his way down to the bus station. The newcomers usually came on Mondays, but this was a 'special delivery' as the leaders called it. A bunch of kids were transferred to Highvale Creek for some reason. Tom was lukewarm about the whole thing, he enjoyed meeting new people. The more the merrier, he thought. But then again, the boys were already sleeping eight people per room, which was a lot. Especially since half of them were day-drinking and the other half were either crying all through the night or jerking off. But it didn't matter that much, he spent most of his time outside, or in the club-house out in the woods planning strategies for the war with the younger boys. They were the only ones who were invested in the war at this point. The girls seemed to have let the boys go as enemies, fighting against the board for making them share rooms were more constructive according to them. He took a sip of the soda that had now turned flat, before wiping some sweat of his forehead. God, it was hot.

Ivy nervously fidgeted with the elastic bands on her wrist, whilst looking out the window in sheer terror. Why was she this nervous? Was it because she was moving for the second time in her life, to a place she had never seen before? Or was it because she was about to meet her best friend, after not having seen him for almost three years?
"Are you listening?", A friend stuck his head back from the front seat. Ivy looked at him and nodded.
"Uh-yes, what did you say?"
"We'll be there soon, here's your book", He said and handed her a copy of Manson In His Own Words. She stuffed the book in her backpack and took a deep breath.
"Nervous?" He asked.
"Not really. I just feel like I'm having a heart attack and a stroke at the same time, but it could've been worse", She joked, trying to force a smile, which faded when the bus stopped.

Jill looked at the leader with a defying look. It seemed to be the only expression she used these days.
"We're not accepting another roommate! It's just not gonna happen, I refuse.", She said and crossed her arms. The leader sighed loudly, but Jill enjoyed stand-offs like these. Made her feel something. Not much though.
"It's not your decision to make, Jillian. Now, you've already been informed by your counselor that another warning will extend your sentence, is that what you want?" He threatened, before leaving the room to tend to the screaming coming out of the room down the hall. Probably one of the younger girl's having her first period, they tended to overreact.
"My dad will hear about this!", She said before he left, as if it actually meant something. Using her dad as a threat had become a staple for her, so much so that the leaders would just laugh as soon as she said it. Even the teacher couldn't keep from smiling. She looked at Winona.
"You coming?", She said. It was about a five-minute walk to the bus-station that was located by the south-boarder, and while Jill liked to keep the minutes she spent with her roommate to a minimum, she didn't want to welcome their new roommate alone.
