Noel' s POV
I slung the bag over my shoulder as me and Taylor started to run off from the place we had just graffitied. A few blocks away we stopped and turned into a alleyway.
" So what's for dinner Tay?" I said.
" Chips!"  She said enthusiastically .
I grabbed a bag and started to munch away at them.
I suppose I should explain who I am.
Well my name is Noel Darren. I'm 16. My best friend is called Taylor Benson.  And to put it simply we are homeless.
We met when we were 3 in an orphanage and when we are nine we escaped. They treated us horribly there. Abused us to no end, so we left.

    It started raining, so we jumped up and started to run out the alleyway down to the near by subway station.
" God its cold down here!" I muttered angrily.
" I know right!" Taylor replied.
Making our way over to a bench we sat down, tired from the endless walking we endured to day.
~Next day~
"  Um miss, are you okay?" I woke up to a man saying. I blinked me eyes open and looked up to see a  handsome boy staring at me.
" Oh yeah I'm fine... ugh what's your name ?"
" Lucas Dabre and yours?"he smiled.
Smiling slightly I answered " Noel Darren. "
" Pretty name for a pretty girl huh?" He said cheekily.
" Thanks, but your eyesight must be bad cause I'm the ugliest girl ever!"
" What! You don't actually think that do you?" He asked slightly worried.
" Well how would I know? I haven't seen my reflection properly for years."
" Why not?" He asked confused.
" I'm homeless."
" You are?"
"Yeah. Just me and my best friend Taylor-"  I said turning my head to gesture to her, but she wasn't there.
" Taylor?" I shouted standing up.
" What's the matter?"  Lucas asked.
" My friend, she's not here!" I said rushed.
" God, where is she!" I muttered.
"  I can help you find if you want?" The handsome boy asked.
" Will you ?"
" Of course, why wouldn't I?"
