For What Price?

Chapter 2

At the orphanage

Charlotte was sitting on her bed with her head between her knees, Should she be sad? Should she be mourning her parents? Well she didn't, as cruel as that might be she did not feel any remorse.

She heard footsteps coming and sat up, three girls walked in and she smiled at them and said "Hi my name is Charlotte!" The girl in the front of the trio scoffed and said "I don't care who you are, you are going to leave us alone, you are not wanted here. You got it?" Charlotte, taken aback from the harsh words stuttered and the girl got in her face and yelled "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

She shook her head yes with tears in her eyes and got up, she walked into the bathroom and locked the doors. She hasn't even been here one day and she has already made enemies. She was not even in there for five minuets before there was knocking on the door, followed by one of the girls yelling "HEY NEW GIRL GET THE HELL OUT! YOU DON'T GET TO USE OUR BATHROOM!!"

She sniffled and opened the door.She tried to walk past the blonde girl standing in front of her but was stopped."You don't belong here you are just a waste of space." Charlotte laughed at this, and spat mostly to herself, "Where have I heard that before?" and continued to try and get by. The girl, angered by her disrespect pushed her from behind and called the other girls over. "Lets show this little bitch that she can't disrespect us and get away with it like that." The group of girls start kicking her and hitting her while she was still on the ground.

She stops trying to fight back and lays there becoming numb to the pain.

Soon the girls leave and she stays laying there on the ground numb. What was with everybody being a complete jerk to a 8 year old?

The next 8 years are just like this one, she gets abused by her room mates daily and she is miserable she has become emotionless over the past 8 years. She no longer feels any emotion what so ever. She is a depressed mess and every morning she wakes up she is reminded that she is a complete waste of space and she believes it.
