Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chapter 1
It was late and the lights would go out in 30 minutes. Mike was heading for his room. When he passed an empty chamber he heard a sound. He listened carefully. He heard it again, it was a soft whimper.
He opened the door and looked into the room; he saw that the room wasn’t empty at all. It was dark, but Mike could make out some furniture and in the middle of the room lay something that was probably a bag. On the bed sat a crouched figure, Mike couldn’t tell if it was male or female.
‘Who are you?’ Mike asked.
The thing on the bed stiffened before it said; ‘Go away.’ in a low voice.
Mike stayed cool and asked: ‘Why should I?’
‘If you don’t go I may rape you.’
Mike fell on the ground spontaneously, but stood up again quickly. He turned on the lights and saw who said the unusual sentence: It was a very little and skinny girl with long reddish hair and grey tearstained eyes.
Mike had to laugh, very loud.
‘I think it would be more likely if I raped you.’ He hiccupped.
‘I don’t think so…’ The girl said. ‘You’re gay.’
Mike stiffened, how the hell could she know!? Mike denied immediately: ‘I’m not! How the hell could you think something like that?!’
‘I don’t think it, I know it’s true.’ The girl grinned creepily ‘I know everything what’s happening in here.’
Mike fell silent, everyone in this centre was a bit of a creep, but she had just won the ‘I’m the creepiest thing in the whole world’ award!
The girl whimpered again.
‘What’s wrong with you anyway?’ Mike asked.
‘It hurts!’
‘What hurts?’
‘Everything! Now go away. Leave before I loose control!’ She gasped.
‘Do you really think I can’t handle you?’
At that moment Noah arrived.
‘You’d better leave Mike.’ He said.
‘Why.’
‘Because Saï may rape you, in this stage.’
‘That girl? She’s just 1 meter 55 max and she’s so skinny you can count her ribs! It’s more likely if I rape her!’
At that moment the girl called Saï moaned loudly.
‘It hurts.’ She whimpered. ‘Let someone please stop the pain.’
‘Saï calm down. It’s going to be okay.’ Noah called and he went into the room.
But before he could stop Saï, she tackled Mike. She sat on top of him, her face merely a few centimetres away from his. Mike noticed that he had underestimated her; she was skinny, but she wasn’t just 1 meter 55 tall, she was just a bit shorter than him.
‘You can stop the pain.’ She said.
Then she leaned forward and kissed him, her hand, which previously had lain on his chest, moved. Mike did not want to know where. He tried to push her of, but she dug her nails in his chest hard!
Noah pulled her of, but the shirt Mike was wearing was ripped by her nails and there was a long scratch on his chest. Mike was too perplexed to move.
Saï was yelling and was telling Noah to let her go, she struggled for her live, screaming that it hurt and then… It just stopped and Saï passed out.
Noah put her in the bed.
‘What the hell was that?!’ He heard a familiar voice say.
Mike turned his head and saw Ryan standing in the doorpost.
‘Did she kill someone?’ Ryan asked him, he looked hopefully.
‘No she didn’t’ Mike snapped.
‘Oh’ Ryan saw the scratch ‘Mike you’re bleeding! You’re loosing blood! You’re going to die!’
‘Ryan, Mike isn’t going to die.’ Noah said ‘Now you 2 go to bed.’
‘But Mike’s hurt.’
‘I’m fine Ryan!’ Mike yelled and he stood up.
Mike stepped out the room, told Ryan to sod of and went to his room. He pulled of his shirt when he heard the door open. He turned and found a timid looking Ray.
‘What happened?’
‘Nothing unusual,’ Mike said ‘but this time it wasn’t me who had an attack.’

Chapter 2
Everyone was eating in the dining-room. Everything was like usual; Ryan was glomping Mike, Mike was getting annoyed, Ray tried to calm down Mike, Matt wasn’t doing anything, Anna turned into Rachel, Duncan freaked out etcetera.
Then Noah came in, with some new girl.
‘Are you sure you’re okay?’ Noah asked her.
‘Yes I’m fine.’ The girl said.
‘Okay then! Well, why don’t you go sit there, next to Ryan?’
Noah grabbed a chair and put it next to Ryan’s, the girl sat down.
‘Hey, you’re the girl from last night, aren’t you?!’ Ryan said.
The girl turned beet red, she turned to Mike and asked: ‘Mike, isn’t it?
‘Yes.’ Mike did not turn to look at her.
‘I’m sorry about… You know. Sometimes I’m not in control of… things.’
‘Hey so you are the girl of last night!’ Ryan said; ‘What’s you’re name?’
‘Why should I tell you my name?’
‘That’s funny. That’s the first thing Diablo said to my when I met him! He hung himself with his shoelaces!’
‘I tried to hang myself with my hair ribbons, unfortunately one of the therapists found me and I survived.’
‘Whoa! Really, that’s so cool!’
‘No it isn’t, but my name’s Saï if you must know.’ Saï got herself a banana and began to eat it.
‘I’m Ryan! That’s Mike, that’s Ray and that’s Matt!’ He pointed to his friends.
Saï just rolled her eyes. She finished her banana and pushed away her unused plate.
‘Is that all you’re going to eat?’ Ryan asked.
Saï did not answer, but Noah had noticed her lack of appetite.
‘You should eat some more Saï; it’s unhealthy to eat nothing more but a banana for breakfast.’
She didn’t want to eat more, really didn’t. And Ryan didn’t exactly know how, but he ended up force-feeding her! When breakfast was over Noah said: ‘Okay guys, Leen and Anna are going to clean up and Ray and Ryan are doing the dishes.’
And so it happened, with just a bit of trouble with Leen and bacteria.
During the dishes Ryan was babbling like mad about the new girl.
‘Do you know why she got red when you mentioned last night?’ Ray asked. ‘An attack isn’t something you should be ashamed about is it?’
‘Oh, she kissed Mike when she was in some sort of frenzy!’
Ray dropped his plate. ‘What!?’
‘Ray, be careful,’ Merel said ‘you could have hurt yourself.’
‘Sorry Merel.’
‘I’ll clean this up, you’ll finish the dishes okay?’

Chapter 3
Ray felt very depressed when he walked back to his room. That new girl had kissed Mike and he hadn’t told him. Ray didn’t pay attention and just walked into his boyfriend.
‘Sorry Mike.’ He apologised blushing.
‘s’Okay.’ Mike said and he walked on.
‘Where are you going Mike?’ Ray asked.
‘Outside.’
‘Can I talk to you for a second?’
Mike turned to look at his boyfriend and Ray looked away.
‘Okay.’ He said.
‘Mike, why didn’t you tell me?’
‘Tell you what?’
‘Well, about what happened last night?’
Mike stiffened, ‘It wasn’t that a big a deal.’
‘Well why didn’t you tell me earlier then?’
‘… I don’t know.’ He looked away.
Ray fell silent.
‘Hey Ray, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it okay?’
Ray cracked a smile, ‘Okay.’
There was an awkward silence, but that was broken quickly by (can you guess) Ryan.
‘Mikey!’ He glomped Mike.
‘Ryan, get of!’
Ryan ignored that, as always. Why did Mike even bother to tell Ryan to sod of, Ryan never really listened anyway. Mike was yelling at Ryan, but Ray didn’t listen anymore, even after the conversation with Mike he was still feeling awful.
He walked down the hall, it was Saturday and most of the kids got picked up by their parents. Not that it really mattered to him; the only ones he would really miss were Mike, Ryan and Matt. And they were all staying (Ryan’s parents couldn’t come that day).
Ray stopped paying attention to his surroundings again and tripped over something, to fall on his face. Ray got up and turned to look at the object he tripped over.
It turned out it wasn’t an object, but a human being; Matt to be more precise, who was sitting in the middle of the hallway.
‘Oh, sorry Matt, I didn’t look where I was going.’
‘…’
‘Did I hurt you?’
‘…’
Ray came closer and tried to see if Matt was hurt somewhere. He couldn’t find a thing, but asked if everything was alright. Matt did not answer, but someone else said something: ‘You know, I think you’re the only one who even bothers trying to communicate with him…’
Ray turned ‘round and found that new girl - what was her name again, oh right Saï - was standing almost next to him.
She looked at Matt for a while and smiled.
‘The first impression was that everyone has given up on trying to communicate with him, but I guess I was wrong: You haven’t and that redhead hasn’t either, but he’s just nutters so… Ah, what am I talking about; I guess I’m nutters too’
‘Well, you come over pretty normal to me.’ Ray said when he had finally found his tongue again.
