Change

"WAKE UP LADIES, EVERYONE GET UP" said Ms. June, one of the ladies running this place, as she banged on door screaming for everyone to get up.

I looked out the window and the sun was just rising, I looked down to see if we where being attacked but nothing.

I saw everyone groggily walk down the hall and make their way to the living room, I quickly put on a shirt and followed suit.

Once all of us cramped into the tiny living room, it was filled with whispers as to what was going on, and why they woke us up at 7 in the morning.

After a few minutes you could hear the faint voice of Ms. June and Ms. Tate asking for everyone to settle down so they could talk, but of course everyone was talking over them.

Find after a brave soul screamed and told everyone to shut up and listen they proceed to tell us what was going on.

"Okay, so I bet your all wondering what could possibly be going on that we had to wake you up, and no where not being attacked, and your not in harms way." Ms. Tate said and looked around, then continued.

"So we just got word that the werewolf committee has decided that they can no longer fund us...and they don't want y'all to go rouge and cause any problems so they have agreed to split you guys into 10 groups of 7 and you will join a pack and become part of that pack, and you will be a member of that pack for the rest of your life" Ms. June said and the room erupted into conversation.

People celebrating, some crying even, and their where some who where outraged to join a pack, saying "they don't want us, if they did then why they drop us off here in this dump" which makes sense to me but I stayed quiet, best not voice my opinion is what I've learned all these years.

"Settle down everyone, you have been strategically placed into 10 groups by the committee based on how well you might fit in each pack, with that being said you need to pack everything you have, you have a plastic bag in each room which should hold all your stuff, vans will be here in about an hour which gives you enough time to pack and get presentable, now go" they said.

Everyone rushed to get upstairs to try and get one of the two working showers, there was pushing and shoving and growling all to use the shower.

Me and a couple other people waited until that hall was cleared out then made are way to our rooms to pack.

I saw a generic plastic bag laid out. I packed all my stuff in there.

After I stuffed all my belongings I checked the line for the showers and they where pretty long so I decided to just wash up.

Each room has a sink and mirror, but to take a shower or use the restroom you have to use the two bathrooms on the hall.

I turned on the water and I dipped my hair into it to get my ends curly, and I splashed my face with water and brushed my teeth.

I changed into my plan black T-shirt with my ripped jeans and my only pair of shoes which are black converse high tops.

I looked at myself there the cracked and dirty mirror...ugly was all that came to mind and with a sigh I walked downstairs with my belongings. Their where five other girls already ready and they where excitedly talking about this change.

I stood and watched as one by one people slowly filled the living room and before I knew it I was squished in a corner for 15 minutes.

Finally after what felt like forever the vans arrived.

10 black vans pulled up with 4 strong men in each one jumping out and stretching their arms, they probably have been driving for hours.

And one by one we where split into groups of 7 and loaded into the black vans, I don't know anyone from the orphanage so I couldn't say I was happy with my group, and I couldn't say I was sad they seem nice I don't think any of them have beaten me.

The second we where all loaded into the car we where off, and to where I couldn't tell you because they haven't given us any information on what pack we where joining.
