Matron and Adam wont even look at me; let alone Marley ; she was old Mattie's daughter, staying over due to the fact she had no other home ,except, now her mum has no home.
She only blames it on me . Adam took pity and let her stay, but she and her cronies still hate me. A little while ago, i wondered if i could ever be her friend, despite the fact that she was the most popular girl of all. Ha! So likely. Matron was Cook's friend , and so she hates me too. You just dont want to be in her bad books. With her it is like prison. She is taking up Cook's place temporarily, yet i cant say she is very good at it ! I just wonder sometimes, where i might be in another life.
Perhaps i wear little purple pumps and plum shorts, a denim tee with
my blonde locks cascading down my back. Did i live in a big house? No it would be a cute little thatched cottage, ooh i know, and a big tree would hang above
, with a sweet homemade swing attached!
I might sit there, reading on mamas lap, gently rocking back and forth. She would tell me of her childhood fantasies, describing them vividly! My name would be.....Garnet! Or maybe not. But then it hits me. I need to make this life! I will find my true life! I realie suddenly that i might have been put hear because my mother lived with her cruel parent until....until she was shunted out. Is this orphanage really my lifes fate? My mother could be dead for all i know! I push these thoughts away and set off for lessons , with the tiniest smidgen of hope of a chance.
