[Yuppers, Avey. c:]
A stern-looking man walked into the room. He was clad in police attire, complete with a badge over his heart. He stepped onto a podium, grabbing the microphone off of the stand. "Attention," he called out in his booming, firm voice, so as to silence the crowd. "Listen up. Now, parents, you will be leaving shortly. As for you kids, I don't care why you're here, but you are. We have a set of rules here to follow that will be read to you after you drop your things off." he gestured over to a desk, where small plastic boxes where, each with a sticky note on them that read a kid's first and last name. "You will empty your things into the box with your name - Weapons of any sort, cell phones, money, gum. Everything. All jewelery will be also removed. If you have piercings other than your ears, however, you may exclude them. Once you are finished, you will walk down the hallway, where a pair of guards will check to make sure you have nothing left with you. Once they are finished with that, they will let you into a room, where another officer will wait for you all to gather up there, then inform you on the rules. Understand?" he growled, his voice rough and intimidating.
Demetri smirked as the man talked. His smirk disappeared at the part where he talked about dropping off their things. His hand moved slowly to his pocket, where he prodded his cell - An iPhone 4S. His phone was like his baby. His silvery blue eyes narrowed. His parents said good-bye, mother in tears and father silent as always, and he proceeded to the desk. The first box was the one with his name on it. He pulled out the things from his pockets - A five dollar bill, a note from Katt that she wrote him in social class, complaining about Alex, a pocket knife, and a yellow bouncy ball. Gingerly, he pulled his phone out, sighed, and set it in the box. He then proceeded to strip off the multiple bracelets on his wrists. He refused, however, to take off his necklace - It was his big brother's necklace, that he wore constantly before he had died in the war. Demetri never took it off, no matter what. His big brother was the only one in his family he had ever been close to. They were inseperable when he was very little. When he was seven, his brother went into the war. He returned on Demetri's eigth birthday, and didn't leave to go back until he turned ten. He never came back after that, and he could not have been more depressed when he found out the truth. This necklace caused him to get in a fight with the guards who were checking him. After about ten minutes, he managed to convince them to allow him to keep it on. The rest of the gang followed suit, arriving in the room after Demetri and re-grouping.
