Chapter 1 - Sophie
"Guys, dinner's ready. Quick, everyone downstairs NOW."
Life in a care home is hectic, to say the least. There's fights over everything, including who should sit where at the dining table.
I made my way downstairs to the dining room. As I entered, no one looked up or acknowledged me at all, so I sat in the nearest empty seat I could see.
"Oi! I ALWAYS sit there, what are you doing?" A menacing boy with long black hair was standing over me, glowering at me. "You're new, aren't you?" He continued, roughly pushing me aside as he began chatting and laughing with the other kids. I picked up to my plate and moved to the other end of the table, where I finished my meal without saying a word to anyone. I hate it here, I'd rather be out on the streets!
