kick my ass if he catches me.

And maybe yours is too.

Well you just go snuggle up

nice in those covers.

Yeah. Alright.

OK, OK, slow down. I mean

you're going to make yourself sick.

I never had all I

can eat before.

Hey. I don't think Hal's

mad at you anymore.

Since he's almost 14. I

mean... they send you to

a place called

Hellenwilder when you're 14.

You know... not everybody's

mean like Hal.

- You can make some friends here

- I never had friends.

Well uh...

I could be your friend.

- Who's that?

- Oh, that's uh... that's Rachel.

- She's Mr. Gene's daughter.

- She lives here?

No no no no ummm. She lives out back

in Mr. Gene's house on the weekends...

...and lives with her mom during the week.

Okay... don't tell anyone...

I mean no one...

...she and Hal have been kissing

through the player in the fence.

I bet Mr. Gene hates that.

Yeah... ah, you know

he kinda doesn't know.

Need you to come with me after breakfast

Mr. Gene wants to see you.

There you are, Moon

That's mine.

Give it back.

We'll keep all your things in a safe

place for you.

What's on my hat?

You mean this?

This is not part of the Pinson uniform.

Those are your school books

for Monday morning.

Take them and have a seat.

I hear you have plans

to run away?

Let me tell you about Pinson.

First of all, we've never had

anyone escape,

or bust out as you put it.

And second of all, you are now

property of the state

and will remail so until you turn

18 years of age.

Look at me when I'm

speaking to you.

If, someone comes to claim you,

you will be released into their custody.

Do you understand?

If you behave, you

will have no problems here.

But any more talk of escape, then

your stay here will not be pleasant.

- Alight.

- Alright what?

- I won't talk about it anymore.

- Very well.

Go put your books away

and report to the kitchen

to see Mrs. Broomstead

to get that haircut.

Don't cut it short.

Me and Pap always wear it long

in the winter to keep warm.

You don't have to worry about that here.

I don't plan on

staying long.

We'll see about that.

Better not be any

bugs in here.

there's no bugs in here.

Better not be.

- Okay?

- Looks good.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I heard about you. You're that

boy that lived in the forest.

- Right?

- Ahhh, yeah.

Rachel.

What did I tell you?

I just said hey to him.

Get outside. Or go

watch TV the house.

Pitch it here. Over here.

- He's over there.

- Yeah, I see him. Let's go get him.

- Hey, did Mr. Gene get mad at you?

- No, he gave me some books.

Yeah, theyre for

school on Monday.

I won't need them. I'm going over

the fence tonight.

You wanna come?

- Hey, you can't make it over the fence.
