Alisha waited for the others to enter before she herself then stepped into the room. She looked around, everybody seemed to be sitting, watching chatting amongst themselves or passing notes. Alisha distracted herself by turning her attention to the rules which she saw had been pinned up clear for all to see. As she read through them, Alisha picked out a few in particular and read over them again in her mind,
'No swearing in the presence of an elder' - well that would be easy enough for her, but she wondered about a few of the housemates who had a particular mean look to them.
No law-breaking in general' again, she thought that would be fine by her, but she had already gather by the cop car that that rule had already been broken.
Alisha nodded to herself and let out an in-audible sigh before she turned back to the others and would see James wink at her, an empty space beside him on one of the chairs. Alisha fidgetted on the spot, looking around the room for anywhere else she would be able to sit - one sofa was taken by Lainey and Eric, a single chair in the corner of the room was occupied by a boy whom she didn't even notice arrive.
There was only one sofa left, three spaces, one for each Miriam, the new girl who she had noticed as she walked in and the boy who she had seen outside in a car. She sighed, and gave up. It wasn't as if she didn't
want to sit near James, it was just that he gave her a bad vibe, he seemed the type who had gotten into a lot of trouble to get here. Slowly making her way over to the seat beside James and sitting down, Alisha clutched at her notepad tightly, and turned her attention toward Mr.Fickleberry and his family, awaiting him to speak.
