I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It read 6:45 am. Oh shit I'm going to be late. Oh wait.. It's the weekend. Ugh.
That means chores. The only way I could stay at the orphanage is if I clean the spare rooms of children that used to stay in them before they get adopted.
And the worst of all entertain children for 2 hours. I don't really like children cause they think I'm sooo cool. Honestly I'm not cool at all I don't get those children.
There was a little girl named Claire that I have become really close to. She is 10 years old and since I have been at that orphanage we have bonded a lot. She's my everything she's the only person I have ever loved she's my other half...
Thankfully I have 5 hours until I have to start doing chores. I have decided I am going to try to get a job since I need to get out of this hell as soon as possible.
I got ready and headed out the door. I decided that I am going to try to get a job at Rue 21.
I chose this place because it's my favorite clothing place of all time.
The bad thing is that Rue 21 is far away from the orphanage so that meant I had to walk a few miles and find a bus stop and get a ride to the mall.
Man I need a car.
***
I finally got to the bus stop. When the bus arrived I walked aboard hoping there wasn't anyone from school on the bus that would recognize me...
30 minutes later after half the bus was empty I finally arrived at the mall.
I have never been more nervous in my life. I've had jobs before but they were random odd jobs that were just summer jobs or they were chores around the orphanage that I didn't get paid for.
I walked in the mall until I found the store called Rue 21.
I walked in being greeted by this employee. "Hello is there anything I can help you with?" Said the employee.
"Um yes I was wondering if I could maybe apply for a part time job here?" I said very nervously and shyly.
She laughed at my awkwardness "yes we do actually have a spot open that is part time."
Yay.
"How about you come over here to the counter and answer some questions for me Hun."
I walked over there to the counter and me and her talked for 20 minutes straight since it was still early and barely any people were around.
She told me her name was Heather and she was the store manager and told me all the stuff I needed to know about the job and had me fill out a paper.
"Well that's all I needed thanks for coming by we will mail you a letter in about a week telling you if you got the job or not but don't worry I think you'll get it."
I smiled really big and thanked Heather for her time and left the store.
On my way out I saw the last person I wanted to see. A member of One Direction. It was just one of them hopefully that's all that was going to be there.
It was the blonde one I forgot his name it's like Neil or Nail or something like that. Wait. I remember it's Niall. Oh that doesn't matter I just need to get back to the orphanage as fast as possible so I could get to work so I wouldn't be punished.
They punished me by not giving me food for a week and a half. Their food was horrid and I never eat it but every once in a while I actually would, if I got hungry enough.
But as soon as I was about to run to hurry up and get to the bus stop Niall came up to me.
"Excuse me love but do you know where the bathroom is?" He said shyly.
Oh my god. He was adorable and his accent made him even more adorable.
I froze for a second then said "uh they are over by the food court which are over there" as I pointed to where over there was.
"Thanks love" he said as he rushed to the bathroom. That was odd.
Never mind that I need to hurry to the bus stop... When I got to the bus stop thankfully the bus was there. I boarded the bus and sat on the bus until I got to my stop where I could start walking to the orphanage.

When I got to the orphanage I ran to my room as fast as I could so I could change into lazy clothes and start cleaning rooms.
When I got to my room there was a note taped to my door. The front of it said Sutton read this ASAP please. I took it off the door and read it a lot to myself...
Hey Sutton,
When you read this please come down to the main office I really need to talk to you its important.
- Florence
That must not be a good sign.
She is the head of the whole orphanage and she's mean and old. People around here say the only time she would talk to you is if you got adopted or they're kicking you out.
Now who would want to adopt a 16 year old girl? And why the heck would she kick me out I have only been at this orphanage since the beginning of the summer. And who knows why I was taken here and why I was kicked out of the last 5.
I haven't done anything wrong I did what they told me and I went to school I acted like I wasn't even there.
After reading the note I opened up my room and put my stuff down. Then made my way down to the main office.
When I got to the office I knocked on the door.
A few moments later I heard the old voice of Florence saying come in. I opened the door and sat down in the chair she was pointing. "So Sutton we need to talk"...
To be continued...
