Description: Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her our little genius. Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they do not like her. She jokes that she will not bite, but they do not laugh. Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells. She tells her favourite teacher all the things she will do when she grows up. Melanie does not know why this makes Miss Justineau look sad.
