GEORGIA'S POV

Daddy came home while I was playing quietly. Alana had ordered my to stay still, shut up and act like a 'widdle baby'. Her words, not mine. I ran over to him and jumped into his arms, hugging him gratefully. I decided I'd accept life here, as long as I was away from Alana and Rose. Besides, I had my wonderful daddy. He chuckled and hugged me back.

"How was your time with Alana, baby?" I glanced over at Alana and she glared at me menacingly. I decided to obey her, for now.

"It was good. I drew you a picture, look!" I rushed into the living room and grabbed the picture. I was very good at art, and that impressed daddy. It was a drawing of a girl in a princess costume. It was so unlike me to draw this, but I had to keep up this pretence with Alana and him. He smiled and put it on the fridge, and I glowed with pride.. I liked this feeling. He went to talk with Alana, and I rushed over to the door to listen.

"How was she? Did she behave?" I heard daddy asking. Alana replied with her daily dose of lies. "Georgia is a little.. difficult. She swore at me, she kicked me, hid from me and overall doesn't act like an age regressor should." Okay, so that was mostly true, but still! I didn't act like an age regressor because I wasn't one originally, and I didn't choose to be here.

I heard daddy's voice again, anxious this time. "Did she really?" I didn't hear a voice from Alana, so she must be nodding. I felt sick to my stomach.

"Wel then, I'll speak with Georgia tonight. Don't worry, I'll make sure she behaves next time."

Daddy was on Alana's side. He believed her, not me. I dived back into the living room before the door hit me. I pretended to be playing with a doll that I picked up. Daddy let Alana out of our apartment, and then turned to me.

SAM'S POV

I couldn't believe what Alana had said. I know Georgia had trouble settling in, but I didn't know it was this bad. I gently smiled at her, but when she smiled back, it looked forced. I knelt down to her, biting my lip. "Georgia, did you or did you not: swear at Alana, hit her or kick her and hide from her today?" She gritted her teeth.

"Yes but-" was her reply. I cut her off, my voice going stern again. "No buts. Go sit in the timeout chair, and we'll talk after." She tried to protest, but I didn't let her. She gave up and went to sit in the corner. I meanwhile grabbed my shopping bags and quickly ran down the hallway, and entered a room called the playroom. Georgia hasn't seen it yet. I set up the playpen and scattered the tous around. I hurried back to the living room. In the rules for the academy, you couldn't leave your little alone for more than a minute. Georgia thankfully was still sitting in the corner.

Georgia's POV

I balled my hands up into fists. This was so unfair. I decided I should just escape, nobody loves me here anyways. It would be a relief to do that, and get back to my old life. Yes. I'd break out of the academy, take a bus back to my old Town or something. I was pulled out of my thoughts by daddy, and I jumped. No, Sam. He didn't believe me, and probably didn't want me as his little anyways. I came over to him and he lectured me sternly for what seemed like forever. It bored me to death. I glanced at the clock. It was 7:58, and the latest bus.. I forgot when it came. Shit. I smiled at daddy angelically and apologized. He patted me on the head happily. "Daddy, can I go play in my room and then go to bed. I'm tired anyway?"

"Sure, princess, I'll come with you." No, no, no, no!! I just forced another smile and went down the hallway to my bedroom. I knelt down to the little tea set and pretended to serve customers. Daddy chuckled and acted with me. After another eternity, i glanced at the clock worriedly. I faked a long yawn. "Tired.." He smiled at me gently. "Brush your teeth, and I'll help you into your pajamas." I ran to the bathroom, brushed my boring teeth, and skidded into my bedroom. Daddy helped me into disgusting pink pajamas with cats on them. Cats are cute, but pink?! No. Daddy cuddled me close and kissed me on the forehead. "Goodnight, princess. Daddy has a surprise for you tomorrow!" I giggled and crawled under the covers. He turned the light off and left the room. Too bad, sucker. I won't be here tomorrow. I guess I'll miss the surprise. How sad..

I waited in bed until he went into the living room and turned the tv on. Quietly, I opened my wardrobe, packed all of my old clothes. I paused. Daddy brought back the stuffies from Rose yesterday or something, and left them in the living room. I shoved my bag back into the wardrobe. I made my eyes water, thinking of sad things, then sucking my thumb, I waddled out into the hallway. "Daddy?" He immediately switched off the TV and ran to me. "What's wrong, baby?" I pulled my thumb out of my mouth and looked at my feet, fighting back the urge to laugh. "My stuffies.. Can't sleep without them.." He hugged me close and gave me the stuffies. "Better?" I nodded, and he kissed me on the forehead again. "Goodnight, princess. Sleep well." I nodded and went back into my room, closing the door. I packed the stuffies into my bag, hauled it onto my shoulders and opened my window wide. My room had a massive window. Our apartment flat was on the second story, not too far from the ground. I jumped, and landed on my feet. Laughing with relief, I dusted myself off and ran into the darkness, the moon light dimly illuminatimg my path. Goodbye, Agere Academy. Georgia Banks out!
