CHAPTER 10

Cry's POV

It has been 10 minutes since Jack and Bailey disappeared. I wonder what they are up to? They are missing class. Bailey doesn't concern me because this is the typical rebellious behaviour that I often observe from her, it is jack who I am starting to worry about.

I asked the teacher if I can step out for a minute and she gave me permission.

Mrs. Smith, that is her name. Bless her heart. We have a special student-teacher bond. She is very kind to me, resulting in her becoming my favourite teacher.

I have...problems. You see, my parents abused me as a young child. They would come into my room in the middle of the night and... ugh

I won't get too much into detail, except for they died on my 6th birthday and I have been living in the local orphanage ever since.

I wonder if it is bad to say that I am happy sometimes that they are dead, because they were living people just like me. But then again are people that abused their offspring even human?

Then I think more and wonder if I will ever be adopted. I doubt it, nobody could ever love me. Not to mention most people adopt babies instead of teenagers.

It happens all the time. Whenever someone enters through the orphanage to adopt a kid, they always stare at me and make rude comments about me behind my back. My mask always freaks people out, but I refuse to take it off.

So since Mrs. Smith is aware of all this, she lets me go out into the hallway to take a breather whenever I need to. For once, someone showed both sympathy and empathy, two things I can't feel.
