I wake up to the sound of a car horn. As soon as my eyes open I see the Grey ceiling of the orphanage. My room mate Matt is still snoring quietly in the bed next to mine. His black hair is messily spiked up at crazy angles. I get out of bed as quietly as possible so that i don't wake him. I climb out the window and sit on the roof to watch the sun set,like I do every morning. The street is already busy with traffic.
My name is cortillia Mortinez but everyone calls me till. I have lived in saint Mary's orphanage since I was 9 years old. I'm 15 now. Yep 7 years in this hell hole. My parents died in a car accident when I was 8 and my aunt got run over by a car. So I've been living here ever since.
The sun is fully set and I can hear the rest of the kids in the orphanage waking up. I go back through the window into my dreadfully boring room and I see Matt still sleeping soundly. I've shared a room with Matt the entire time I've been here. He's 17 so he's going to be leaving next year which kind of sucks because we've become really close friends. I will most likely get a new room mate when he leaves. Maybe even someone my own gender. I climb back into bed and wait for the wake up call.
