*MARIE'S POV*

A week passed and everything was back to normal. Me, Emily and my roommates still haven't talked but we do make eye contact here and there, especially while they beat me. Sadness are in their eyes as they look down at me so Ms. Gloria doesn't see their face expressions as they push my head deeper into the dirt outside by the tree.

Emily whispers "i'm so sorry Marie" before yelling "That's right bitch! Eat that dirt!"

"Please stop!" I cry out as both of my roommates kick me repeatedly in my side. Coughing loudly as Emily picks me up roughly. Keeping her grip onto my shirt as she pins me against the tree. "Please don't do this"

I couldn't stop crying as they grabbed their rope and tied me up against the tree. Emily laughs while my roommates tie me up. "How does that feel Marie?" Emily says tapping my cheek.

"Please, you don't have to do this"

"But we do, You know the rules" She says before walking away leaving me there. I couldn't move, the ropes were tied tightly. Looking down at my feet I wiggle them. It was no use, I was stuck like this, but for how long? Two days? A week? Nobody will come save me. Slowly looking up, I could feel someone looking at me. I pick my head up high looking at one of the classroom window. It was Ms. Gloria's room. I could see a black figure staring back at me. I couldn't see the face because the sun was out.

If it is Ms. Gloria she is probably laughing at me right now. Thinking that she has finally won and I can't do anything about it. I don't know exactly how long it was which seemed like a hour maybe longer had passed and I was still outside sweating, scared, and hungry. I bet nobody noticed that I was gone.

"Marie?" I hear someone scream my name as they walk outside, looking for me. It was a girl from class, I don't know her name. But what I did know is that I screamed for my life. She hears me and runs over to me. "Marie, there you are, everyone is worried sick"

"Yeah, I'm so sure, now can you help me?"

"Yeah, hold on" She untied the ropes and says "There, better?"

"Yeah much"

"You better hurry, somebody's here for you"

"what?" Getting up off the ground and dusting off my skirt. 

"You heard me right, It's a boy, when we couldn't find you we-"

"A boy?"

"Yeah, Ms. Laken told us to go out and look for you"

"Boy" it came out like a whisper as I said it. Who would be here looking for me? Without saying anything I started running.

"Marie! wait" The girl screamed running behind me. Running into the orphanage from the back I see Ms. Laken Looking for me in the hall way. "Oh my- Marie, what happened? You look like you took a bath in dirt? were you outside?" She says looking at me, looking for cuts or something, I don't know but I was so eager to know who wanted to see me. "yeah, no, I don't know, who is here for me?" looking over her shoulder.

"Calm down, Marie, don't give yourself a heart attack" she says joking laughing.

"Sorry, sorry" I say trying to stay calm.

"yes there is someone here for you but i think you should get yourself cleaned up first"

"I can't Ms. Laken, I have to see who it is, it's killing me"
