Skylar's POV:

I felt someone shaking my shoulders. 

"SkyBaby, wake up!" They whispered.

I know that it's Annabella, she's the only one who calls me that. I've known her since I first came here, she helped look after me, even though she's only 3 years older than me, she's been here her whole life. Her parents died. Car accident. 

"Okay okay I'm up! What time is it Bella?" I asked. That's what I call her; Bella. I'm okay in the mornings, after being here for 5 years with little kids constantly screaming, you get used to getting woken up. 

"Its 8:30, come on they've got breakfast for us today!" She chirped. Usually we don't have breakfast, or there's never just enough for everybody, there are 35 other kids living here.

I got up smiling, and saw that it was only us two in the room. We share our room with 6 other girls, we sleep on matresses on the floor. It is quite cramped. 

"Okay lets goooo!" She said, grabbing my hand and dragging me out, I started skipping beside her, we get food!

We got downstairs and saw only about 10 kids, everyone must be in the tiny garden we have or in the sofa room that's full of uncomfy sofas and a tiny coffee table, only kids over 8 years old can go in there.  I don't know why you'd want to though. 

On the table was a pile of plain toast with butter, milk that looked slightly off, and some value corn flakes. When did they start buying all this food?! I grabbed two slices of toast like Bella and we sat down on the stools and ate. We also got given a glass of water between us without a straw, luckily, I still had the one I found in another girl's bag one day.

We took it upstairs so I could use a straw and not pop a tail. Bella has been so supportive of me since I told her about it 2 years ago, and we have still kept my secret for that long. I'm quite surprised actually, with the amount of people we live with and the amount of times I've had to run to the bathroom after water spilled on me.

I then changed from my sleeping shorts and top into my one and only outfit; Black leggings and a Grey tank top that used to be white. Bella changed too.

We went to one of the two bathrooms we have, waited a couple of minutes for a little girl come out, and Bella washed her face, I was careful to not get splashed, I wasn't in the mood for a transformation right now. We had a toothbrush but no toothpaste, weird right? I wet the brush carefully and went over my teeth before rinsing it and giving it to Bella to use. Some kids can't even use one so we are lucky compared to them!

I brushed  my fingers through my hair and Bella did me a side braid with my blonde and blue hair, and tied it with an elastic band we found outside the office we have here. She did the same to herself. 

Then we heard the owner, Claire, shout to everybody.

"All girls between the ages of 10 and 14 come to the sofa room. Now!" I left Bella  with a wave and went to the sofa room as we were told. The four other girls were there already. I never realized that there were only 5 girls between the ages 10 and 14.  One of which was my chief bully; Andrea.

"Well hello, if it isn't Sky-Loopy!" She laughed, the other girls giggled beside her. 

"Oh look, if it isn't Ant-rea" I sassed back, mimicking her. She just rolled her eyes and started a conversation with her 3 'minions'. I sat on my own, on the floor, in the corner. 

Just then a tall boy walked in, he looked about 22 with messy brown hair. I shrunk back, he's here to adopt somebody, well, it isn't going to be me, I knew it.
