I woke up to the sound of soft murmuring of people. Great, I thought, another annoying day. Forcefully kicking away my blanket, I climbed down my top bed to find May already dressed in her dress and long, black pigtails.
"We have to wear THIS,"she whispered, peering disgustingly at the green plaided dress on her body.
"The pigtails are a nice touch"I teased.
"Hey, your gonna wear the same thing you know."she hissed. I threw on my outfit (consisting of the same dress, pigtails, white leggings, and black buckle shoes) and stared into the mirror.
"Who are we even trying to impress?"asked May as someone banged on the door. Good God.., I thought.
"OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR, YOU BASTARDS!"barked Britana, the chaperone on our floor in The Rescue Orphanage. Quickly, May opened the door with a calming but still fearful "Good Morning, Miss Britana."
Britana, who we call The Monster, barged into our room for the morning inspection.
"Your blankets are decent and you need to wash those pajamas. Or at least burn them and buy new ones"Britana said, writing ferociously on her clipboard. I stood there with my arms across my chest. I'm usually the only one to talk back to Britana and any other chaperone.
"I washed them this week and so did May, both the blankets and pajamas. We don't have to wash anything. Burning them? What kind of idea is THAT?"
"Still mouthy to me, Miss Lillian? Just you wait till Gertrude hears of this"threatened Britana. I shrugged my shoulders as Britana stormed out.
"Want some breakfast?"I questioned as I looked at May. She nodded her head and we raced to the kitchen.
"Hey there, sweet pea"smiled Katy, possibly the nicest woman existing
I waved to Katy and sat down with May and Tommy.
"Hey babe"he smiled as May blushed.
"Ooh..so it's true?"
May giggled and Tommy hugged her.
"It finally happened. I was and still am rooting for you,"I turned to May,"I am SO gonna be your maid of honor." May emerged into a fit of laughter as Tommy beamed.
"Wedding? I'm up for it"Tommy eyed May.
"Shut up,"she playfully punched his arm.
"You and Zack; is it an item? Is it not?"asked Tommy, facing me and rubbing his bruise.
"Um..I don't know. We don't really talk that much anymore and we're only good friends"I promised. Tommy didn't look convinced as Zack walked by staring at me and smiled.
"Lilly, you look great"Zack laughed.
"Haha, Mr.Tie"I sarcastically said as I tightened His tie.
"Ow"
"You know what would be a really good idea? For us to abandon this dump. I hate this place. Everything about it irritates me; except you guys of course and Katy."suddenly Tommy blurted out
Everyone nodded in agreement but May didn't.
"We're not leaving here. Not now; not ever. We just need to be adopted and I think we can all wait."
