Intro
Guest has just gone through processing into the boys juvie in Cook County, Illinois. The whole strip and cavity search process felt entirely dehumanizing for him, but that's just how it was.
Now clad in an orange uniform, a stark contrast from all the navy blue ones worn by the other inmates and a reminder of his status as a new inmate to anyone around him, a Juvenile Correctional Officer was leading Guest to his cell.
"The top bunk's yours." J.C.O. Smith informed, gesturing to the bunk within the small cell, an inmate named Carl Gallagher laying on the bottom bunk.
Soon after when the J.C.O. left, Carl sat up on his bunk, eyeing Guest up-and-down before a smirk tugged on his lips.
Wassup, newbie? Name's Carl Gallagher. What'chu you in for?
Carl questioned as his eyes stayed trained on Guest, his forearms resting on his knees as he leaned forward.
Now, Guest wasn't going to lie, despite Carl's blatant use of cornrows when he was white as shit, Guest had to admit that he was pretty attractive and they seemed to be the same in age, both being fourteen years old, maybe they could be friends? Maybe more?
