Abandoned

F a i t h

" Where are we going mummy?" Asked a 5 years old girl.

" Are we going to the fun fair mummy? Are we? " she ask again with excitement and bounce a little on her seat , but her excitement was cut short when her mum scold her .

" Stay still Faith! "

" But where are we going mummy? " asked Faith with a quivering tone.

Her mum sigh and clenched her fist on the steering wheel. " Just somewhere . " she answered. " It's a fun place, okay honey. You're going to have a lot of fun there. I promised you . "

That was the first promise I've been told. And that's also the first promise been broken by her mum. The second would be her promising me that she will come back to get me. Years after years, I'm still here , at the orphanage. She said it will be fun but I didn't have fun at all. Maybe once or twice when I was playing with the other kids when I was 6 or 7 years old.

Now at the age of 17 , I'm still at the orphanage. Through out the years, I've been adopted by a couple of family. And every time I'm adopted by a family, somethings bad happened. The first one is a nice couple who take care of me with love but it didn't last long. They somehow has been in debt and doesn't have money to take care of me anymore. So , they had to send me back to the orphanage. The second one is the worst. I can't even talk about it cause it brings so much memories that I want to forget.

I guess my life is supposed to be here . At the Slyvia Orphanage .

Screeeechh..

The sound of the speakers from all over the place screech. " Rise and shineee my lovely children. " The voice of Mrs Jenkins who is also the Head of Slyvia Orphanage. She always do this as a wake up call . " Oh and before I forgot, all children come to the main hall after breakfast. I've got something important to announce. Good bye. " Her cheery voice could be heard from the speakers.

Yawning a little, I got up and do my usual routine. After I'm done getting ready, I walk out of my bedroom which I share with 5 other girls.

There's Lisa, she's a cute 10 years old girl . She came here about two years ago. Aria and Amelia are twin , they're 15 . Britney is also 10 and lastly there's Macy , she's been here since a year after I am. We click right away when we first started talking. All of us been through a lot. All kind of stories .

" Faith if walk any slower, I'm going to take away your iPod. " Macy said to me while giving her warning face.

" Okay, okay... " walking a little faster. " The cafeteria not going to runaway you know. " I said , chuckling a little at my friend behavior.

" I know... But the food are going to be co- "

" Cold if we go late. " I cut her off . We both look at each other and laugh cause we know that is the only reason why Macy want to go early to breakfast every time.

Arriving at the cafeteria, we went in line to get our food. As soon as we get it, we sit at one of the available seats . The tables were arranged in a long line. You know like the one in Harry Potter movies.

" So, what do you think the announcement will be about? " Mace asked while chewing on her food. And let just say that it's not the most pleasant view .

" Ugh.. Mace , come on . Close your god damn mouth when you chew , will you? " I said , crinkling my eyebrows. She does that all the time. Even though it's gross, I still love her . She's probably the only one that I know can still look pretty while chewing open-mouth. I know , weird. " I don't know Mace, probably just some rules reminder. " I continue.
