Escape-Part 2

That night I was so terrified that I practically cried myself to sleep. I put my face in the pillow and sobbed the whole time quietly, so that I don't end up offending Miriam as well. It was Tuesday and three more days before I could get to see my sister. That one fact was what comforting for the whole time.

For the next few days I started to adapt a bit more. I avoided Stefanie and Samantha at all costs. I literally ran away even at the sight of them. It did not help the fact that they were particularly interested in me when they found out that I was charged with murder of a teacher. At first of course they couldn't believe it. I scaredy cat like me can never be a killer. They presumed that I acted weak on purpose to get out of uncomfortable situations, which is why they tried to bully me more often. I even tried telling them the whole story but they wouldn't budge.
