"If mum's fuckin' lawyer did his fuckin' job right then I wouldn't be in here," Aaliyah spits out as she holds the phone to her ear. She hears Alec sigh heavily, "Tell me you at least found out where they're taking me." Aaliyah glances behind her at the girl in black glasses who waited quite impatiently for the information.

"Yeah, I found out they're taking you to Litchfield. I added money to your commissary there and I should be able to visit you in a week," Alec says. Aliyah sighs and nods, "Okay, thanks brother. Love you. Bye." She hangs up the phone on the wall and turns to Alex Vause. "My brother said Litchfield. You know where that is?"

Alex runs a hand down her face irritatingly, "Yeah, I know where it is. I think you'll like it actually." Aaliyah smirks, "now, what do I get in return for this information darling?"

Alex furrows her brows in confusion and Aaliyah simply laughs and hits her shoulder, "loosen up, I'm just fuckin' with you. And frankly you're not really my type love." Alex chuckles, "I would act offended but you're not really my type either."

"It's the accent innit?" Aaliyah questions in amusement.

"Yes."

"I guess this is better than that disgusting cell," Aaliyah mumbles, hopping out of the prison van. "Of course you would think it's gross. You're a rich girl," another inmate comments, shoving her shoulder into Aaliyah's as she walks pass her. Aaliyah grabs onto the girl's shoulder, pretending to be friendly so the guard doesn't suspect anything, "I wouldn't sleep tonight if I were you," she whispers.

Aaliyah moved away from her, following the guard that led the group into the prison. They unfortunately, did an invasive strip search and then led each inmate to a room they would stay in. "Channing, you got top bunk on the right," he says. Aaliyah nods and walks into the room, hopping on the top bunk with ease.

"Vause, top bunk on the left," the guard instructs. Alex sighs, very obviously depressed about being locked up in Litchfield again. Aaliyah chuckles, "I just can't get away from you, can I?" Alex holds the urge to roll her eyes as she climbs to the top bunk.

"I'm gonna go take a look around my new home. Have fun being depressed," Aaliyah hops off the bed after having made her bed the minute the CO left. Aaliyah walks down the halls of the prison, looking down at the papers in her hand that showed her the layout and where her counselors office was. The first thing she wanted to check out was obviously the track. She was super big on exercise.

She headed outside, squinting her eyes, she looks around for a gym and sees nothing. "What kind of fucking prison doesn't have a gym? The fuck is this shit?" She says to herself.

Shrugging, she goes to head back inside until she hears her name being called. "Aaliyah?!! Liyah! Is that you?! Holy shit!" She turns around just to see an old friend in Nicky Nichols run over to her with a huge grin. "Long time no see," Aaliyah says. Nicky smiles, pulling her into a hug until the guard warns them to stop touching.

"They finally caught your ass, huh? What'd you do to get in here?" Nicky asks. "My girlfriend cheated on me and stole money and drugs from my dad so I bit off her finger, stabbed her, and then lit our apartment on fire to make it look like she died in an accident but then she ended up surviving unfortunately. And yeah, my mum's shitty lawyer couldn't get me out of it so now I'm in this shithole." Aaliyah explains, squinting her eyes from the sun.

"Wow, that's...something. You would think people know not to mess with your dad by now," Nicky comments as they begin to walk the field together. "That's what I said! Even when I get into a relationship, I warn them I don't play 'bout my dad." Nicky nods and chuckles, "I'm kinda surprised they didn't catch you sooner."

"Oh no, I would have a ton of assault charges from randoms had not my dad paid them off. This is my first major charge so I guess it's kinda exciting. Though being in prison isn't my favorite," Aaliyah said.

Nicky pursed her lips, not expecting anything less from the girl. "This is kinda surreal if you think about it. I can't believe we're in jail together."

Aaliyah smiles, "well we always did joke about it."

"Yep. And now it's finally our reality," Nicky finishes.

A moment of peaceful silence goes by before Nicky breaks it with a question. "So how's Alec doin'?"

Just as Aaliyah goes to answer, a girl runs pass them and Liyah gets a good look at her and smirks. "Who is that?" Liyah asks, nudging her friend. Nicky looks at her and raises a brow, "That is Watson. I think her first name is Sanae or Janae..uh no yeah Janae, she's always out on the track. I heard she's like some trackstar or something."

Aaliyah leans against the fence, her arms crossed over her chest. Janae runs pass them again, but glances at Aaliyah for no more than a second. "I want her." Nicky clears her throat, wondering her she heard Liyah right. "Uh, what? What do you mean by that?" She asks for confirmation.

"You know exactly what I mean. I want her," Aaliyah states, not taking her eyes off of the runner.

"Uh no can do, Liyah. You can't have this one," Nicky replies, glancing at her friend. Liyah breaks her focus to look at Nicky, "why not? Is she yours?" Nicky shakes her head immediately, "Oh no, definitely not." Aaliyah feigned confused, "Then why not? Is she taken or something? Cause that may be a problem."

"No, no, none of that. She's straight. Like super straight. I've never even seen her look at a girl for more than five seconds. I know she may look a little gay but she's a 100% straight. I'm sure of it." Nicky crosses her arms over her chest with a firm nod. Aaliyah squints her eyes, watching Janae run pass them once more and this time not sparing them even a glance.

"That's great."

"It is?"

"Yeah," Aaliyah confirms. Nicky looks in confusion. "I like a challenge." Liyah stands up and walks through the grass, "I'll see you later, Nichols!"

Nicky waves goodbye, silently questioning where that conversation was going. "She's gonna get herself killed," Nicky mumbles under her breath.

"You must be Aaliyah Channing? Correct?" She nods at the older man who was supposedly gonna be her counselor. Not that she needed or wanted one. "Alright, it says here that you have severe trouble with your anger?" Mr. Healy says, looking at Aaliyah for confirmation. She purses her lips, "uhh, no I believe that's false. I have great control over my anger just as anyone else."

Mr. Healy just shrugs, not in the mood to argue with that. "Okay, well to get you started, you need a job. We have kitchen, janitorial, garden, and electrical currently available." Aaliyah rubs her chin, pretending to think it over. "Who works in electrical? I just wanna make sure I have no problems with anyone before I say yes, you know cause, I wouldn't want to cause trouble as I have history with some girls here."

Healy thought it over, ultimately deciding it wouldn't hurt to tell her. "We have Nicky Nichols, uh Piper Chapman, Janae Watson-"

"Janae Watson, as in the gorgeous trackstar girl?" Aaliyah interrupted. Mr. Healy nods, a little confused by the question, but then again, Channing was an odd girl. "That's all I needed to hear. I'll take the job," Aaliyah smiles. Mr. Healy was confused for a bit but shrugs it off, not really wanting to deal with the extra stress.

"Okay, and Saturday's is your visitation day. It says you have Alec Channing, Jeremiah Channing, and Alissa Channing. I'm assuming this is your family?" Mr. Healy questions. Aaliyah rolls her eyes at her mother's name on the list, "Yeah uh, mate can you remove Alissa Channing off the list please? I don't want to see her."

"Sure, may I ask why?"

"To sum it up, she's a shitty mother and I don't ever want her to see me like this. She doesn't get to win this time. So please, just remove her and keep the others, not that my dad can even come here." Aaliyah looks down at her nails, suddenly finding them super interesting. "Okay, I will remove Alissa Channing. Now, I'm sure you know how this works. The CO gave you the tour and showed you the ropes so looks like my job is done here."

"Fantastic. You have a lovely day mate. It was great meetin' you." Aaliyah stands up and walks out, a small smirk pulled on her lips.

"This place is gonna be fuckin' fun."
