Burns Like Lies [Eliza]

[merrick james charlotte]

Merrick just laughed. He could definitely related to that. The suddenness kinda threw him at first and he was sure it had to be a joke but then with all the yelling him mom did and that angry look... Yeah, it was the angry look that sealed in the seriousness of the situation because Mrs. Charlotte would never willingly create more frown lines to botox away unless she truly was upset with things.

"I guess we have that in common," he told her, looking back at the girl with a smile. She seemed nice enough and Merrick was definitely in need of a few friends here in he planned on surviving at all.

"It's gettin kinda late," he said, glancing down at the time on his watch. "Do they do random bed checks or anything? Cause won't we get in trouble?" he asked, wondering if he should think about leaving at some point. He didn't need to get off to a bad start if it could be easily avoided.

Eliza smiled as he laughed. They had a lot in common. Leave it to her to find someone that matches her. But of course there were plenty of people here that love the party scene. She knew like four people that were here for partying.

"I guess we do" she said with a laugh. She actually was able to get along with quite a few people, but one that matched her so well with problems wasn't normal, well for her at least. "They do bed checks every so often, but its not bad if they catch you. And they don't check the roof anyways" she said softly.

She looked up at the sky and noticed that it was getting late. The sun was beginning to set and it made a wonderful scene. "Its at most one day in isolation for missing bed checks, nothing more really" she said. She had missed bed checks about four times.

Merrick nodded in responce. "Yeah, I wouldn't want to get in trouble in my first week here.. That would just be a bad start to a total nightmare," he said. Course, all nightmares where bad throughout but he was still under the impression that he could make the most of this and turn a bad thing good.. Or at least tolerable.

"What the hell is isolation anyhow?" he asked. "They lock you in a dark room or something?" he asked, truly having no idea of what to expect. This place was just so different and it wasn't something he had any idea about. The school part he got but the whole.. kids with problems thing was new to him.

It was an easy transition going from having everything you could want and barely attending a prestigious private school to this. This was a complete horror of a shock to him but he was making the best of it so far. He was getting used to it the only way he knew how, with jokes.
