(Ellie's Point Of View):
"Come on, Ellie. Please?" my only friend, Caroline asks.
"No way!" I tell her with a giggle. "I could never do that!"
Caroline's a trouble maker, that's for sure! We're sitting in the room we share together on the floor between the beds, and she's just dared me to spray paint the building later tonight.
She let's out a sigh. "Fine," she says. "I guess it's better not to. I mean, last time a kid tried to do something like this, I heard The Witch didn't give her food for days!" The Witch is the nickname we use for the owner of the orphanage.
"I doubt thats true, Caroline," I try to assure her, but I'm not even too convinced myself.
"Do you think we'll ever get out of here?" she asks me, suddenly turning serious.
Caroline's entire family died last year in a house fire. The police had no where to put her, so they brought her here. She's such a fun and bubbly person, but whenever something like this comes up, she always gets serious and quiet. I know she must still be hurting on the inside. We all are, I think. All of us family-less girls.
"I know we will, Caroline," I promise her with a smile.
Although, to be completely honest, I don't want to be adopted.
I'm way too scared...of being hurt again.
It's quiet for a moment. Neither Caroline nor I say a word.
"All girls ages 6 to 8 please report to the grand hallway," The Witch's evil and nasaly voice booms over the intercom.
"That's us!" Caroline says, jumping up excitedly. She always gets this way when people come to adopt.
People come to adopt all the time.
They never choose us. Never.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that Caroline will get picked before me. She's so fun loving and sweet, and then there's me. Awkward and isolated.
"Come on, Ellie! Let's go!" she says, grabbing my arm and pulling me with her as we leave our room and head downstairs.
