Welcome to Casa By The Sea

I was handed a uniform and made to put it on. Then a girl named Danielle was assigned as an upper-lever buddy to me. She was a level 6 which meant she would be in the next group to go home. Danielle took me to the Commodore - A cafeteria-like large room with a little slit in the wall where some faceless person would slip you a plate. We sat down at a long plastic picnic table inside and a plate of the nastiest piece of brown fish you've ever seen was placed in front of me. I looked at my new 'buddy' and said there is NO WAY I'm eating that... Then she proceeded to tell me that I had to and if I didn't, the mamas would force me and if I threw up, I would be made to eat it. WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF PLACE IS THIS?! I remember thinking there is just no way this is real. I thought my parents must be playing a cruel trick on me. They could never just abandon me in a place like this. I asked Danielle how long she had been there and she said over a year. Over a year? So... Will I have to be here that long too??? She told me the fastest anyone had gotten out was 9 months... There was just no way I could do this for a year. No possible way.
