to a happier time - open-

[Cassadee RED Constantine]

things had changed from good, to bad, to worse and it had only been in a matter of two days. two day that had passed with a blink of an eye. she stared at her hands and then sighed as she pushed the try away from her. this was not a place for her, but it was better then being in the cookie cutter world outside of these walls. her fingers slipped and landed in the carrots, the only thing left on the plate next to the potatoes and what ever the meat type was supposed to be.

Cassy sighed deeply and looked around as she shook the carrots and juice off her fingers. most of the people looked like they didn't belong but other just looked plain sad. sad as in like lacking that pizazz in life. she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

You ain't nothing but a hound dog-uh.

she smirked as she stood up. there was nothings sad about hearing great music. too bad it was all in her head. something she never told the orderlies. the meds she was given made her hear music, even the kind she had never heard before. but it didn't seem to bother her as it brought out her personality flaws and made her diagnosis true. she could care less about a lot of things but who knows they were still working on her drug intake and leveling them out.

That will be the day that I die.

she smiled a little more and then stopped as she stared at the man in front of her. she hadn't seen him before but she wasn't going to star anything simple cause, well, she could care less. she sighed and pushed around the man only to have him grab her arm. she gasped only lightly out of shock and then looked at him. her hair fell into her face as she stood there.

Get around, round, round, I get around.

she sighed and then dumped the contents of her tray slowly. "Let go..." she whispered as her eyes narrowed. the man said nothing and continued holding on to Cassy's arm. she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "...fine." with in seconds the man was on the floor holding his face in pain. Cassy had used the tray to beat the man in the face, who ever thought of having metal trays was a good idea was sadly mistaken. she dropped the try and then kicked the man. "Next time." she growled and then started to walk off.

Drop like a bulletshell
Dress like a sleeper cell
I'd rather go to hell
Then be in purgatory
Cut my hair
Gag and bore me
Pull this pin
Let this world explode

"Gag and bore me" Nori Mae thought as she lazily picked at the mush on her plate that the Coats called 'food'.

Everything looked remotely the same shade of bland, discolored and absolutely un-appetizing. Thank gods she was somewhat chubby, otherwise they'd have an Orderlie staking out the bathroom every time she needed to pee. She looked boredly over at the next table where some of the long term crazies sat, either drooling with pupils dilated from a Thorazine trip or blubbering in gibberish with a few colorful swear words thrown in for good measure.

She couldn't have been placed in a less appealing situation. She vaguely remembered the terms thrown around by the Coats at her latest appointment. Major Depression. History Of Self Mutilation. Hostile to staff. All because of the way she dressed and the little bit of cutting she did while dealing with the stress of being pummeled to a bloody pulp at school every day. Wouldn't you be sad and disgusted with yourself if people made fun of you and hit you every day?

Speaking of which, it had been just under a year since she'd been admitted to Willowcreek. Back then no one knew about her SI (self-injury) habits much less the severe bullying. No, what sent the outcast-seeking lab rats after her was Tink, her gender-confused younger brother. The poor kid had been through so much, but had always shown signs of feeling ‘trapped’ in his own body. Perhaps it’s because she and Arisu Lynne had always used him as a doll? Either way, the day they came for him was the same day that she failed their Vaccine testing and was locked up here with all of the crazy people.

She gave a quick sweep of the lunch room looking for Tink. He was surrounded by a group of pre-teen girls oohing and aahing over him, applying makeup one of them had obviously stolen from a staff member, and plaiting his bleach blonde hair. She smiled to herself, happy that at least he’d found people who wanted to speak to him. She recognized at least two of them that had bad mental issues. Poor Tink, he was an insanity magnet.

Suddenly a sickly noise like metal on bone grabbed Nori Mae’s attention. Her head whipped around to see a very large man curled in a ball on the floor and a girl about her age holding a bloody metal food tray. Seriously, they didn’t expect these kids to use METAL as a weapon? She got up to take her own tray, walking softly past the girl and depositing her own tray. She paused, smiling at the girl, and gave a light laugh.

”You go girl, he was a total ass anyways!, Nori Mae said as she awaited the girls response.[/size]

Cassy stood there staring at the man after coming to a satisfying stop at the sound of whimpering. she stared at him and then decided to pick the tray up. she bent over slowly and wrapped her small fingers around the corner of the tray all the while staring at the man. she stood up straight and sighed. normal people would say sorry but according to society no one here was normal and she had to up hold her diagnosis.

Splish splash i was taking a bath, all about a Saturday night.

well he could use a bath for sure. her face turned slightly to the side and then she huffed lightly. she needed a bath her self, too bad you had to "escorted" to take one. it had something to do with the actual crazy people wanting to drowned themselves. yay drowning people.

”You go girl, he was a total ass anyways!"

Cassy looked at the girl and shrugged. she had no feelings toward the whole situation except the feeling of being relieved, and oh boy what a feeling it was. she looked at the guy and flinched at him as if she were going to hit him once more. he flinched and coward quickly back into his tight ball. she chuckled a little and looked at the girl. "uh thank you?" Cassy looked a little confused and then smoothed her looks away.

Imagine me and you, i do. I think about you day and night, its only right.

Cassy stepped to the side and smiled. "Red." she said holding her hand out to the girl. so maybe she should add that it was her name or something she she didn't think she was one of the actual crazies. not that she really cared. people were people and obviously she could protect her self.

”It just takes takes some time
Little girl your in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)”



Watching the girl stare at the man she’d hit like she’d accomplished world peace made Nori Mae have to choke back a laugh. She wished she’d had half that moxie when she was being violently beaten by the popular crowd at her last school. Those were painful memories she tried hard to ignore. But memories like that were like thieves, they waited and watched choosing just the perfect moment when you’re weak enough to be preyed upon. She mentally battled herself, telling herself this girl was obviously not a bully, but rather a fighter of bullies.

The girl introduced herself as Red, an interesting name indeed. Nori Mae typically thought her name was pretty cool, but she’d never seen a person named after a color.. The girl stuck out a hand and Nori Mae quickly shook it. A half-smile twitching at her lips.

”Red? That’s a nifty name! I’m Noriko, but everyone calls me Nori Mae.”[/i] She forced herself to keep eye contact, self-consciously wanting to curl into a ball at the girls’ intimidating presence.

She looked at the guy curled up on the ground and had a quick flashback of being punched relentlessly by Allie (the high school’s most popular Senior girl aka Queen Bee Cheer Captain), after Ash (Allie’s partner-in-crime) lied and said she’d seen Nori Mae flirting with Spencer (Allie’s uuber popular boyfriend-slash-star quarterback). She fought back the urge to run that tingled in her legs.

”So, Red, whatcha in for?”[/i] Nori Mae laughed in a half-assed attempt at a joke. [/color][/size]

Cassy watched the girl in half amazment. she looked almost scared of her and yet she stood there as if trying to be polite. Cassy was a bit intemidating but she never thought it would scare people to the point where they wanted to run away, hell, most of the time that was the way Cassy was.

”Red? That’s a nifty name! I’m Noriko, but everyone calls me Nori Mae.”

"My mother thought it would be nice to name her child after her favorite fariy tale character, Little Red Ridding Hood." Cassy smiled. "Its a middle name not many know my first, but yours is a pretty unique one as well." Cassy tried to sound a little more soft as it seemed her tone was too harsh for the girl's comfort. "I have to say though i dont know any girls named Noriko, much less Nori Mae."

Cassy smiled and then looked at the guy. she rather hoped the man would leave by now but with the added force of the hit she gave him with the metal tray it was a mirrical he was even conscience. she sighed and looked away from the girl. talk about no privacy. she noted most of the not crazy people staring at them. was talking to people against the rules?

”So, Red, whatcha in for?”

Cassy's head snaped back to look at Nori Mae. she chuckled lightly and then looked at her bare feet. "apparently putting a few people into the hospital is against the law, along with speaking out. that shot thing didn't work to well either." she looked back up at Noir Mae and sighed. "They say im a sadist and a sociopath, who knows..." cassy trailed off. she didn't realy believe in society's ways of life and that was the main thing that got her in here. skipping out on the shots that were required wasn't something they liked too. but no one really knew that. "How about your self?"
