Destiny Is In Her Hands

Chapter Two- Part III

I sighed deeply as I realized that I had to go to school today. It is so hard to get out of bed because I got back pretty late after the future thing and after all that scolding from Mother Sarah, I hardly got any sleep but I had no choice. I had to go to school. You see, taking a day off is not as easy as it sounds in the orphanage. People try to act all sick and tired so that they don't have to go to school but the nuns don't fall for it, especially not Mother Sarah. But if you are really sick; they know immediately and let you take a day off. I knew for sure that I wasn't sick and acting like I was sick is not going to help; at all. 

I am at the Big Breakfast Table (BBT for short). We, orphans, call it that because its gigantic and fits all of us; yup, all two hundred and two of us. I gulped down my milk really quickly because I was so hungry. Humpty Dandy (aka the bully) notices and calls out, "Oh, look at that milk-gulper." I went red with embarrassment and look at my lap though there was nothing interesting about it. I couldn't handle those stares and sniggers and it only seemed that they were getting louder and louder.  

"Enough! Quiet! Go back to your breakfasts everyone." Mother Sarah came to my rescue. That was the only reason why I (and I guess everyone else in the orphanage) loved her; she knows when the situation has gone out of control and reacts immediately. The whole table quietens and finishes their breakfasts.

After I got ready, I was a lot later than everyone else so I decide to walk to school. When I was about half way there, I see that boy again. The one I saw yesterday. He sees me, smiles and walks to me. He starts talking to me and we keep on walking.  

"Thanks for the money yesterday." 

"Oh, it's alright."

"I saw what happened to you yesterday." 

"Um..." I pause. Yesterday? What did he mean by yesterday? Was it that future thing I went to? 

"Yeah... I saw you there." He said as he chuckled. Did I really say that out loud?

He continues, "I felt really bad for you. I wanted to talk to you when I saw you but I really couldn't." 

I nod. Well, there was nothing else I could say or do. 

"By the way, I am Sam." He says as he gives me his hand to shake. 

"Caroline." I say as I shake his hand. It felt didn't feel as smooth or soft as i had expected it to. 

"I want to help you." He says as he looks me in the eye. 

"I really want to." He looks in even more deeper into my eyes. God, his eyes are so beautiful. Wait... what am I thinking? 

"Why?"

"Consider this as a treat for what you did yesterday."

"Okay... but what are you going to do?"

"I am going to help you."

"Yeah, I know that. But, how are you going to help me?" 

"Well, that's for you to find out. Now, follow me." 

So, he was taking me somewhere. Should I just follow him? But, can I trust him? I don't know. But, hey, I have school to worry about.  

"Sam, I can't. I have to go to school." 

He face crumples weirdly as if he is trying to think hard. 

"Oh, can't you just skip school?"

"Skip school? No way... Everyone will find out; they'll kill me." 

"Oh. Come on, it's going to be fun. You'll love it for sure." 

"There is no way I am skipping school." I said as I crossed my arms. 

"What time does your school start?"

"Eight-thirty."

"Oh, don't bother going to school anymore because you already missed on a lot." 

What? I glance at the watch on the building. Oh no, it was ten to nine.

AUTHOR'S NOTE....

Hello. I know that it's been a really really long time since you last heard from me. I also know that I had left this book 'ON HOLD' and all that, but don't worry, it's back. I will be updating regularly to make it up to time I have left it 'ON HOLD'. 

These three parts are dedicated to TheDisneyFreak, mstar59, ImaginationAndBeyond. They have all been really nice to me so I thought that I should dedicate each of the parts to them. 

And, thanks for reading and hope you have enjoyed! Until next time. :)
