“Hot water is now on until seven. Breakfast from seven to eight. Work and school at eight.” “What a lovely wake up call,” Kean says, rolling out of bed onto the floor. “Oh my God I think my ears just exploded,” Henry groans. “Tell me they don’t do this every day.” I head to the showers with Liss. We wait in line with the other females and show our ID’s again. When it’s out turn, we remove our ID tags, discard our old uniforms into a bin and get handed clean ones. In each cubicle there is soap and shampoo, no conditioner though. There are also no towels so we have to walk, totally naked from the cubicle to the drying station but no one seems to care. We wait in line, dripping water onto the cold white tiles. At the drying station we have to step into one of the small cubicles. Heat radiates from hot plates and blasts of air tussle my hair. I’m completely dry in twenty seconds, hair and all. When Liss is done, we change into our fresh uniforms and head out to breakfast.
