After a few minutes, Ms.Rosy came back down stairs with a little girl behind her. Once they came up to us, Ms.Rosy took the little girl in front of her.

"Alexandra, meet the girls.",she said as she looked at us.

"Hi. How are you? I'm Camila.", Camila said as she was approach to her. Alexandra took a step back and stayed close to Ms.Rosy

"Come on now, sweetie. We won't bite.", Ally said.

Alexandra didn't moved, but Ms.Rosy told her to stay while she went to go check on the other kids.

"So Alexandra, how old are you sweetie?", I said as I bend down almost to her height.

She was pretty tiny. She stared at me and I notice tears in her eyes. A tear drop down her cheek.

"Sweetie, are you okay?", I wiped the tear away. But once my thumb touch her face, she flinch and ran back upstairs.

"Alexandra, wait!", Ms.Rosy said has she came back. "I'm sorry girls, she normally isn't like this. If you want you can come up stairs with me and check on her."

We all nodded and went upstairs with Ms.Rosy.

As I went downstairs with Ms.Rosy, she pulled me in front of her. But of course I stand back a little as a girl name Camila came up to me.

Than Ms.Rosy left to go check on the other kids. Once she left, another girl came up to me and bend down. She ask me how old was I. Once I stared at her, I couldn't help it. I try to hold back my tears but of  course one escape. She knew because she wiped away the tear away from my face. Her touch its felt exactly like hers. I couldn't help it but ran upstairs to my bedroom.

As I ran upstairs and went into my room, I couldn't believe it. The girl's eyes and touch reminded me of her. And her voice too. She reminded me of my mom. My mom had the exactly same colored eyes, and her touch, it felts just as the girl from downstairs. I was crying quietly and holding on to the picture frame. I saw my door knob turn, so I ran to the bathroom.

I closed the door, and held on to the picture frame. I don't want to see anybody right now. But of course that didn't happen. Ms.Rosy came in worried.

"Oh sweetie, come here." She held out her arms at me. I ran to her and cried. She carried me up, and I hid my face in her shoulder, still crying. She left the bathroom and sat on my bed still holding me.

"Sweetie, why are you crying?" I just held out the picture frame and pointed to my mom.

"Honey, I know you miss her a lot, but don't you think she would be happy if someone adopted you?"

I just nodded yes. I know my mom wouldn't wanted me to spend my whole life here at the orphanage, but I don't want to leave Ms.Rosy.

I stopped crying , and Ms.Rosy held me straight up. As I looked up, I saw the girls from downstairs. They were whispering to each other till saw me. The girl that reminded me of my mom came up to me.

"Hi, are you feeling any better?" I nodded no.

"Well you want to tell me what's wrong?" I looked at Ms Rosy and she gave me a small smile. Than I looked back at the girl and gave her my picture frame. I pointed to my mom.

"You miss her? Don't you?", she asked me. I nodded yes.

"Well we know that she looking down at you, and also smiling at you. But don't worry God has her safe in heaven.", the short girl said as she came up to me.

I just nodded.

"What wrong? Cat got your tongue?", the tall girl asked me and giggled. I just stared at her and raise my eyebrows. I than did something I never did except to Ms.Rosy. I sign and and I said "No. Did you not know I haven't talk since I moved here?"

All the girls look pretty uncomfortable and just stared at me. Serve them right but looking at them, I guess they never knew about sign language.

"Sorry about that, she said No, did you not know that I haven't talk since I moved here?", Ms.Rosy giggled a little.

"Wait is she deaf?", the girl, Camila, that tried to get close to me ask Ms.Rosy.

"No she not deaf, she hard of hearing. She can hear you but won't understand you if your not facing her or if your talking to fast."

"Oh, how long have she been hard of hearing?", the girl with blue hair asked.

"I don't know. It's not my story to tell. Its hers. I don't know everything about her. I asked her sometimes but she just never answered me. I did some research but its all confusing. So I decided to learn sign language because its said that some kids with a hearing disability knows sign language"

"When did she came in the orphanage?", ask the tall girl. I suddenly didn't want to hear this conversation anymore. So I got off Ms Rosy lap, and left. I went downstairs and went outside I sat on the grass, and a few tears were falling. Every time I ask myself, why did God take my parents? Why did it had to be my birthday? Why did they had to get in a car accident that day? Just Why? I continue to let the tears fall. I haven't cried this much since that day. If your all wondering my birthday is on December 23.

I was sitting on the grass till someone tap my shoulder. It was the girl that looked like my mom. That made me cry a few more. I just miss her so much!!

"Sweetie, why are you crying?"

I wanted to answer but I didn't want them to hear my voice. Its ridiculous. So I just stared at the floor. Than she hand me a paper and pencil. I looked at her.

Than she said "Ms.Rosy told us a few things about you. So since you won't talk, why don't you write them down? Now, would you like to tell me why your upset and left?"

I got the paper and pen from her hands. I wrote I left because of the question the tall girl ask. I don't like it when people ask questions like that. I hand her the paper back. She read it than told me "I'm sorry. Dinah just like to ask a whole bunch of questions and sometimes she doesn't realize what she saying." I just nodded. "So why did you ran away when I talked to you? You don't have to answer if you don't want." I got the paper back. Should I tell her or not. I decided to tell her. Your eyes, touch and and voice reminded me of her. She read it, than ask "Who her?" My mom. She looked at me. I guess she didn't know what to say, I put the pen and paper next to her, and went back inside.

"Wait!!"

I continue to walk. I head inside. All the girls looked at me. Than I got push and fell to the ground. Its didn't hurt because I didn't get pushed down hard. Someone help me up.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't see you stop there. Maybe I shouldn't have run. Are you okay?", its was the girl that talked to me outside. I nodded yes. And went up to Ms.Rosy. I ask her what their names are. She said the girl with blue hair is Normani, the girl with a bow is Camila, the short one is Ally, the tall girl is Dinah Jane but they call her Dinah for short, and that last one is Lauren. Not only did she looked like my mom but she had my mom middle name too. Ay Yi Yi.

"So we were wondering, if we can ask you some question?", Ally said. I nodded yes because I promise Ms.Rosy that if any visitors wanted to talk to me I would have to say yes.

I got the board and markers and went to the meeting room. I waited for them to sit and ask.
