Keo was known to be the brightest little girl in Grace field. Her aura would warm anyone's heart. Her bright and calming smile always made everyone feel at ease.
She was the sun to their world. If she wasn't there, everything would be the same, but she's just what makes their life more bright and lively. She was the girl everyone knew and loved, and everyone held a special place in her heart. She felt so lucky to be born and raised in such an amazing place, and she truly couldn't exchange this life for anything else in the world.
When the clock hit at exactly 6 a.m., everyone woke up to do their morning routine and prepare for breakfast. It was rare for keo to be the last one to wake up, so you bet that keo would be the first one to wake up the second the bell rang through the orphanage.
Keo made sure everyone was ready, helping however she could, before helping the big kids with breakfast. It's not unusual that Keo likes to help around and make sure everyone got their things done, so helping with breakfast was one of keo's routine. When walking through the halls, keo's eyes sometimes wander to the drawings the kids made or the calendar. It seems as if everything stays the same, and keo liked that.
Arriving at the dining room, keo counted all the kids to make sure they're all here. The babies are an exception, of course. "Ok, everyone is here," keo nodded to herself and walked to the pantry room to help Mama or the big kids.
"Ah, Archer!" Keo called out to her big brother after seeing his dirty blonde hair. Archer was a 9 year old kid in the orphanage that keo looked up to. Including the others, of course. "Is there anything I can do to help?" She looked up since Archer was a few inches taller than her. "Oh, keo," he smiled softly after turning around and looked at keo's dark brown eyes with his brown and blue ones.
"Wanting to help everyone as always. Here, you can take the bread baskets to the table." He handed her a basket full of bread that was almost the size of her head. "Okay!" She smiled and brought the basket to the table while the big kids handled the rest. Everyone sat in their spots at the dinner tables, eager to eat already.
After keo placed the basket on the table, she sat beside Archer, who was just finished with setting up the table. "Everyone, let's all say thank you for the food." Mama said while shaking the bell that rung throughout the room. Everyone thanked the food before digging in, some engaging in a conversation while doing so, which got a scolding from the older kids.

"Age 5, type 1. Answer each question within 10 seconds. We will now begin." The voice from Keo's headphones said, announcing the daily test.
