Just you and me

Chris always hated starting conversations and making  friends. He was always bullied because of his eyes because the fact his , he had none. All 27 of these kids called him names such as Freak , No eyes , and a mistake. Today was his 13th birthday. A huge cake a one present waited for him outside at the backyard. Chris was an orphan like the rest of the kids. They couldn't afford many things so they had to wear the same clothes everyday.  A light skinned woman with rosey cheeks and a bun was sitting on the floor next to a closet "Come on Chris everybody is waiting for you outside!" Chris was a short dark skinned boy , he had fluffy hair and always had a oversized hoody on. He was in the closet wrapped in a blanket sitting against the wall "No I don't want to!" "Why not? Your present is waiting for you outside and a big cake as well " Chris started to cry "I hate parties! And all they do is bully me! You wouldn't understand!" She rolled her eyes and saw a stuffed bunny with one eye on the floor. A big smile came to her face as she picked it up and hummed, "well I guess me and Mr. Carrots will go instead, only me and him nobody else!" Chris opened the closet and snatched the bunny out of her hands and hugged it , "No! Don't take him from me!" She stood up and grabbed his hand as she walked outside "Well come with me then!" Chris saw everybody running and playing. "See mom , they don't care about me! They probably want the cake!" A young boy stopped and looked at him "Hey aren't you a bit old to be carrying toys!" "Hey that's not nice Steven!" "Sorry mother" Steven gave her a pouty face then glared at Chris. "Okay everyone Chris is here time to sing!" Chris looked at everyone , their face expressions looked as if they were bored or they wanted to keep playing. Chris hold back tears 'Its okay your 13 now! man up!' He thought to himself as everybody sang him the birthday song. A few minutes has passed and he was allowed to open his present. Chris opened the box and it had a picture of two grown men and a little boy. "Mother what is this?" She giggled and ruffled his hair "Your new family" Chris gasped gripping Mr. Carrots

{P.S. She is not their actual mother they just call her that so they can feel comfortable and Chris is a short boi :) }
