As we set the food on the tables, the kids started eating. I sat down beside Jill who is eating happily. I looked around saw the faces of different kids living here, there are approximately 300 children here, with each of them looking for a family. It amazed me how strong those kids are, they didn't gave up hope on finding they're family. I wish i was as strong as them, i cant even find a suitable family for Jill and i. I thought as i shove a mouthful of pasta.
God. Kayla cooked good.
Suddenly my mind wandered about the guy, i mean the hot guy Jill and i bumped into. A little fire of anger sizzled through me.
"Kayshee? What'sh wrong?" Jill asked breaking my thoughts.
"Just thinking on how Kayla cooked this good." I said.
"Oh, Kayla cooksh the besht food here! She is the beshtesh person on the world!" She exclaimed
"Better than me?" I pouted jokingly
" Oh what?! You are beshtesh person in the world! Ms. Kayla shecond! "She said once again with hands raised in the air
"Yea? Great to know I'm first!" I laughed
She giggled and continued eating her food.
After all of us is finished eating the children went back to their room and kissed Jill's forehead. "Go to bed, we'll play tomorrow, i'll follow soon after we cleaned this whole place up, 'kay? " She nodded and skipped through the halls
I went to get a clean rug in the kitchen, wiping the tables clean.
After i finished, i went in the kitchen and was about to do the dishes, i felt a pair of eyes linger on my back then a hard object hits my back.
"Ah! Sh*t!" I cursed and turned around. Finding the same guy who i argued yesterday with, with a glare settling on me.
Looking down for a second to see what hit me.
A f*cking plastic cup!
"What the f*ck are you doing throwing things around?! And What does an a*shole like you doing here?" I hissed giving him a death glare.
"What are you doing here?" He asks back never answering my question.
"I was about to f*cking clean the dishes until you threw a cup at me!" I spat waving the rug around.
He just stand there whilst looking at me.
"What the f*ck are you looking at!" I said, he shrugs and starts to walk away.
"Hey! A*shole!" I called, he halts to a stop and turns around, taking the chance to throw a dirty rug at him square in the face. " F*ck you! " I continued.
I walked to the sink and started to clean the dishes. A minute later, someone taps my shoulder.
"You jerk! Stop disturbing me!" I growled and turned around only finding Kayla looking at me confused with a little glint of amusement in her eyes.
"Oh sorry, i thought you were the jerk earlier."
I said
"Yea, so you met my little brother, Uno." She beamed
"Your brother?" I asked at the same time 'Uno' came in the kitchen . "That's your brother? I mean, no offense but how's he related to you? Your kind and he's... An a*shole who throws cups at others, or he's -"
"Adopted" Uno continued.
"Yea.. he's adopted since he was 5 years old." Kayla said and Uno grunted.
"Oh." Is all i said whilst wiping my hands with a towel.
"Anyway, I came to check on you Kianna, are you comfortable here?" Kayla ask
"Yea, im fine, just got to memorize this whole place" i answered noticing Uno had gone away.
"Well, that's great! You need to rest, i'll take over here!" She said once again gesturing to the kitchen. I nodded and walk through the halls, humming the song I choose by Alessia Cara in my mind.

Two days passed pretty fast, with all the fun i had with Jill.
So today, here i am standing in front of my school wearing a grey hoodie and a black legging paired with my black combat boots (don't judge i'm not good at fashion), wandering only with my eyes. I suck in a deep breath and walk through the black gate of the school, clutching my bag. I got my schedule and went in my first class.
"Oh hi! You must be the new student ! Would you mind introducing yourself?" A woman who i think is in her early 30s greets me
"I'm Cath Collins, 17 year old, half Filipino." I greet towards the class not really expecting anything back.
( AN: did i ever tell you that she's half filipino? If not well now you know. Anyways.. back to the story :) )
"You can sit beside Uno. Uno please raise your hand ."
Why is Uno here?! Why do we always end up in the same place!! Urgh! Cue my eye roll but walk towards him.
I sat down and placed my bag beside my chair.
"Alright! Let me introduce myself, I'm Ms. Charlotte and i'll be your teacher for the first semester." Ms. Charlotte explains
First Class went by smoothly, ignoring Uno's existance the whole time.
Second class, not so smooth. I was already hated by a teacher, and got myself a detention just for drinking water in my seat, so i may or may not talk back to her rudely.

Lunch came with me sitting in the cafeteria alone, with my phone, reading through some social media stories. Me being too busy with my phone, i didn't felt anyone sliding in the table beside me not until the person cleared her throat.
I looked up from my phone and observed the girl with a brown hair looks at me with a smile plastered on her face.
"Umm.. hii." I said awkwardly
"Hii! I'm Violet, how about you?" She said in a cheery voice, handing her hand out.
"Cath." I said shaking my hands with hers.
Im not that good at interacting with people, so what.
"Cath.. hmm cute name! Can we be friends?" She asks
A little smile made its way onto my face and said "Sure. Why not"
Then her eyebrows furrows. "Are you only saying that because you'll feel bad when you turn me down?"
"What? No!" I said
"Just kidding! You gonna eat that sandwich?" Pointing at my tray of food.
"Go ahead, it's yours." I smiled
"Wait here, i gotta go to the washroom" i said and she nods.
I went to the washroom and closed the door shut, doing my business. When i finished, i grab the door handle and pulled it. To my misfortune, it wont budge. I tried pulling again and again.
"Sh*t!" I cursed, bending down trying to open it from the bottom.
Then suddenly it was pushed open from outside. Looking up, i saw Uno looking at me with a little amusement in his eyes but his face emotionless. God.This is embarrassing. I thought. Quickly standing up from my position and pushed through him.
"No 'thank you' or a kiss?" I heard him say which made me raise middle finger in the air.
I sat back down at my table with Violet drawing on a piece of paper. She looked at me.
"What took you so long?" She questions
"The door on the washroom and got stuck. " I said quietly. She snickers a bit.
