The Santronoa agency

Chapter One

                                  ......Lilly.....

May I give you an advice? Friend to friend? I'd say if you don't enjoy reading about a teen's shaked up, crazy, brutal life then you should probably go.

I'm Lilly Davis, just your normal 13 year old teenage girl. Well, not really that normal. I'm an orphan. Been since I was like 2. But we'll get into that later. I live in Santronoa, a small town mostly known for it's theatre. That doesn't stop it from being extraordinary or shady though. I've got middle lenght dark brown hair, light blue eyes and a sickly pale face. Like literally it is so pale the other kids here used to tease me all the time about it by calling me 'zombie' or 'ghostface'. It never bothered me, mainly because those names weren't creative at all anyway. But now, let the actual story beging!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I was rudely woken up by the screeching of one of girls i shared a room with, Stacey, screaming about some bug on the window saying stuff like "Oh my god someone kill it already!" or "If it crawls on my bed I'll burn this place down with everyone in it!", but my favourite part has got to be when she threw a shoe at the window, completely missing the insect. I, aswell as the other's just kept ignoring the empty threats and the animalistic noises she was making in order to manage to get a bit of sleep before breakfast starts at 6:30. But then of course Maya had to wake up.

Maya is the worst person i have ever met to be honest. She's just cruel. There's no other way to put it. She hate's everyone and everything, other then her stupid boyfriends, yes, boyfriends, plural. Their names? Caleb and Nial. They know nothing of eachother as they live in completely different orphanages. You see, sometimes other orphanages visit for I don't know what reason and that is where Maya and Nial met. She always talk so proudly about how she's cheating on both of them. Honestly I don't know how people can get two realitionships at 13 when I can't even keep 3 friends. But even if i hate to admit it, Maya is really pretty. She has long brown hair, brown doe eyes and she's korean. Which asian person is not attractive???

"Can you shut up? It's 5:30 and you're screaming like a fucking pig! I would like to sleep because I have a geometry test today but with you in the room it's freaking impossible! - she yelled, walking down the steps of the bunk bed. I could hear Stacey sniffling while pointing at the window beside me, at the poor bug. Maya sighed, then walked up to my bed, grabbed Teddy, my bear and threw it at the bug.

"Hey!" - I ran over to where Teddy was and kneeled on the floor. "Couldn't you throw something else at it?"

"Oh come on! It's just a stuffed toy! Stop making such a big deal about it! What, you want me to apologize to him?" - she said with a smirk at the end. When I tell you my blood starting boiling!

And yes, I do still sleep with a stuffed bear. And if you plan on going on this whole rant about the 'You are 13 years old, you are way too old to sleep with a stuffed toy' thing then please shut the fuck up. I have heard it from a lot of people, but they won't change my mind. Ever. I don't even know how I got him, but I know I'll never stop loving him. Teddy is my best friend, he listens to my rants without interrupting me and catches my tears when i cry about something. So yes, I will keep sleeping with my stuffed bear whether it's childish or not. Period.

"Can you three shut up? We're still trying to sleep but y'all won't stop arguing over a stupid bug!" - I turned to see the other 2 girls, Rackel and Piper sitting on their beds, Rackel glaring daggers at us. She was a redhead with green eyes and tan skin, while piper was black with black hair and brown eyes. The two were best friends, anyone who watched them long enough would figure it out.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry!"- Stacey apologized. She was also black with an afro hairstyle.

We then heard footsteps approching our door. "Shoot!" I whisper-yelled as we furiously began to climb back to bed, but before we even reached the beds the door opened and revealed Mrs.Hudson, the owner of the orphanage, a middle aged, strict woman. Her long black hair was in a ponytail today, which is new. She always wears it in a bun. Her gloomy grey eyes were covered with reading glasses.

"Girls! What do you think you're doing up at this hour? And what about all the yelling? I could hear it downstairs, how do you expect people to sleep like this? I'm pretty sure the rules say you must stay in bed until 6:00 am sharp." - she scolded us with that angry, strict tone of hers. "Also, what is this mess? Do you think I have the money to hire maids just for you 5? That's it! No going out for a week except for school, now get dressed."

"But I-"

"Two weeks, miss Maya, anyone got anything to say?"- we looked down, nodded and apologized. "Good." - she said proudly, leaving the room. I checked my phone to see it was 6:09, so I decided to go take a quick shower while we had hot water.

"Thanks a lot Maya." - Rackel muttered storming out of the room and down the hallway, stopping infront a door furiously knocking then entering. It was either Kenzie's or Mikey's room. Kenzie is Rackel's other best friend while Mikey is her boyfriend.

I went out of the room too and headed for the showers. On each floor there were two showers (two for the girls and two for the guys) with two sinks, so seeing as there were 5 floors in total there were 20 pairs of working showers. It just so happened that on our floor there never was hot water during the day and the girls tend to get there extra early to get a nice hot shower so that's why I wanted to get there first. I walked in, seeing as only one was occupied, threw my towel on the ground and my school uniform in the sink and hopped in. It felt so nice as the luke warm water touched my back! Ah, I could stay standing here forever. But of course others need to shower too and I can't be so selfish to waste all the water on myself so i quickly shampood my body then rinsed it off and got out of the shower. I saw it was Rackel who was waiting for me to finally get out.

"Hi"- I said awkwardly, putting the purple towel around my body. Listen, I was feeling extremely awkward for some reason, okay? I know I'm cringe, no need to tell me.

"Hi"- she said just as awkwardly for some reason then got in. She and I get along fine, we're not too close but I'm definetly closer to her then to anyone in the room.

"Want me to wait for you?" - I asked leaning against the cold light blue tile wall as more people came in. By that time I was already in my uniform, so it didn't look weird (I hope).

"Would be nice!" - she responded "I won't take long, don't worry!"

I checked my phone to see it was already 6:25. Crap! Breakfast starts in less then 5 minutes and we are still in the bathroom! Now, normally it's not a problem if you are late to breakfast or skip but we were already in trouble for the mess and yelling so i didn't want to be late. And I was way too hungry to skip. What? Do you never get hungry or what?

"Well you better hurry because it's 6:26 alreadyyyyyy"- I sing-sang. Other girls looked at me but I really don't care right now. I already know it was just because of my amazing voice. I slay.

"WHAT" - Rackel stumbled out of the shower, towel already draped around her, slipping on the wet tiles and nearly falling. But I caught her of course because I'm such a great friend.

She quickly dried herself and put on her uniform at an inhuman pace . Like seriously, what kind of magic is that??? When she was done she grabbed my hand and we bolted downstairs. We got a couple funny looks from the people on their way and I just kept giving them apologestic glances and small 'sorry's when we bumped into someone.

Once we got to the cafeteria we were so exhausted that we just sat down at the nearest table. Turns out the people at the table were Rackel's friends. There were 4 of them, Lizzie, who I already knew, Dustin, a 16 year old who I knew to be a soccer player at Saint Martin High School, a person with black hair and a buzzcut who I learned was named Sam, who was nonbinary and finally a mixed boy around our age, Max. We had a great time talking but we had to cut it short since we were on the 3rd floor while Sam and Dustin were on the first. Max and Rackel didn't talk much but I caught the silent glances Max sent her. Poor guy. Anyways we made it to our floor and said goodbye to Max.

Once we walked in to our room we saw Piper and Maya arguing (great), Stacey sitting on my bed staring at her lap with a picture on it. Rackel ran up and hugged her while I stood there before going to grab my bag and heading to the door. I stared at Stacey and Rackel before nodding at the door with my eyebrow raised. They got up and grabbed their bag before we rushed out of the room and out of the building in silence. I didn't know what the other two were fighting about but i didn't give two shits and I was definetly not going to ask.
