I was sitting there alone like I usually did, by the pier, right after school- when I got a text from my friend to come back immediately as there was a parent interview at the orphanage.

I have lost hope in these- Who wants a fifteen year old, really?

I just got in the front door when I saw a man dressed up in a suit and tie. He greeted me with a genuine smile.

"Yes, this one,"He whispered to the owner of the orphanage.

I never quite liked her nickname- Dragon.

"Go pack your things Jessy," the Dragon commanded.

I ran upstairs without saying a word, it was a weird encounter but a home is a home right?

I came downstairs soon after, and in a flash I was in the car.

"I'm Jessy," I told the man

"Mr Renalds," he said, without looking at me.

I am starting to doubt if this is going to be a good thing after all.
