Pure of a Slice

Chapter 6: Pepper

It's been 15 hours since my dad came to the orphanage to come and get me. The last kid in the orphanage. In 2 hours the orphanage will be no more, my home will be no more.

Kelly said everything will be okay, I don't believe so. She said I'll be happy with the family I know have, she said I'll finally be able to meet new peope in a real school.

Kids in the orphanage are different from other kids. They're homeschooled. A teacher visits an orphanage 3 days a week to teach the parentless kids what they need to know. Just like school but, at home. We only get to socialize with the other orphaned kids. We never got to actually interact with other children.

"Kelly I'm leaving in 10 minutes."

"You sure you got everything?"

"Yeah." I gave her a weak smile and waited for time to pass. Kelly always favored me as a child. She said I was different from the other orphaned kids.

Kelly used to be a musician and all the things she knew about music she passed on to me. She taught me how to play the piano, and that inspired me to study other instruments.

"Kelly...Take care of yourself okay?" I gave her one last hug and left the building. I got the address to where Dad and Oppa lived.

I only have enough money for myself so I'll just walk to the nearest bus stop.

"Middleton ave." I said as I stepped out the bus. The people in the bus were really kind. They helped me with my heavy luggage. They were generous in offering me a seat.

I walked into the avenue and followed where the path would take me.

"Where the heck am I?" I mumbled. Then I remembered the white house I walked by an alley a while ago. I dragged my luggage back to the alley.

The white house came to view once again as it did before.

I stepped on the front door's step. Well shit.

The door's locked.

"Aaaaaaaggghhhhhh!!!!!!"

That's right Pepper just let it all out. I just sat down in the front door step of the house.

"Today sure is filled with luck!" I sarcasmly spoke.

The sky started to darken.

Shit.

Then a slight drizzle.

Double Shit.

And eventually,the rain fell.

Badluck? Yeah no shit.

I was eager to move fast before I got soaked,I opened my luggage and checked if I had brought an umbrella with me. Wait, I don't even own an umbrella, so I just pulled out some of my clothes to shelter my luggage and myself.

I took my phone out and dialed Taehyung's number.

* The number you have dialed is currently unavailable *

"Oppaaaaa you dumbass!!!"

Giving me his phone number for nothing! Who could he be talking to?

5 mins.....

7mins.....

15mins....

20 minutes passed and I'm cold as stone. Where the hell are they? I was starting to get weird stares from the people passing by.

"What?! There something on my face?!" I shouted over to the kid who had just passed by. Hope you get hit by lightning.

It's already 1:00 in the afternoon and I haven't had breakfast nor lunch. More people passed by as time flew. Jesus Christ.
