I looked around even though in knew this place by heart, which is not a good thing. Nothing was different. I had been in here too long.  It felt like I had been in here my whole life, but it had only been fifty-two days. I couldn't believe I was counting, but it was was one of the only things I had to do in this tiny cell.

   I looked for the small window which happened to be my only clock. When it turned light it meant time for breakfast. When it turned dark in color it meant that they should be coming around with dinner which I was waiting for right now. But they probably forgot just liked they always did. I was not a child now and understood that they were testing me to see how well I could do with no food for a few days. So far it was't going too good.

   I stumbled backwards, remembering this had been my sixth day with no food. I leaned my head agaisnt the cell wall, running my hand through my dirt-filled blonde hair. I don't remember the last time I had brushed it. I would hate to see the day when they gave me a comb.

   I was falling asleep when I heard footsteps. I sat up immediently, thinking my dinner had come at last. I became very disappointed when I realized it was just a boy. He looked about fifteen, which was my age. I looked at him, studying him intently. He had dark black hair, and had bangs that kept him flicking his head to the left every so often to get the hair out of his eyes.

   The man that brought him was middle aged, the one I had seen too many times. Once he had locked up Bangs in the cell closest to mine, he stopped in front of mine. He was taking notes furiously. My brain told me that he was impressed with me, that I had not taken any drastic changes.

"When's my dinner coming?" I asked him fiercely. I was gonna lose it if I was going to have wait another night without food.

"Well, we haven't quite finished with you, so probably tommorow, or mabye if we haven't finished by then, then the day after that."

Just what I wanted to hear.
