Teach me to Live [28]

Ritchie’s room wasn’t so bad. It was a small room. Just big enough for two twin beds, and two dressers. A window separated them so it looked like there was a mirror running down the middle of the room.
“You’re a lucky one, you don’t have a roomie, you may get one during your stay here though. Eight months is a long time…” she said and Ritchie could hear something in her tone. She was wondering what he did to himself to get eight months.
“There are a lot of rules around here, I’ll let your mentor give them to you when you meet him.” She started to leave and Ritchie backed up into the dresser, holding the door open. The large white bandages wrapped around his right wrist was exposed. Lily’s eyes were attracted to it instantly. She looked somewhat like a deer in the headlights, and just as silent as well.
“Well, i guess I’ll leave you to settle in.” she said with a weak smile and left hurriedly.
