I walk out of the school behind all the girls but turn down a different way.I walk the beach way to the orphanage while the girls walk the city way.The beach and the sound of the crashing waves gives me a sense of peace and serenity.

Keeping my attention on the sea i accidentally walk into a couple wearing hats and sunglasses.I get knocked to the ground by the force of the hit.It wasn't that hard its just that in the orphanage they don't feed us enough so we're all frail and weak.

"I'm so sorry"i say scrambling to my feet.

"Don't worry about it"the woman said.

I started to walk away when the called out to me.

"Where are you headed to"The woman called out.

"The orphanage m'am"i said politely.

"Do you live there"they asked.

i nodded.

They smiled at each other and then looked back at me.

"Do you want a lift"They asked.

i looked at them.

"I was told never trust strangers" i said.

The man took off his glasses and i immediately recognized him.

"Now am i stranger"he said smirking.

I shook my head smiling.

"Come on lets go lets go to the car then"he said leading me to his car.

We arrived at the orphanage and the couple followed me into the building saying they wanted to talk to manager.i went straight ti my room and went straight for my guitar and camera getting ready to video a new cover.

"Hey guys,thanks for the lovely comments on my last video,today I'm doing I'm a Mess by Ed Sheeran so here it goes"I strummed my guitar and started to sing.
Oh, I'm a mess right now
Inside out
Searching for a sweet surrender
But this is not the end

I can't work it out
How going through the motions
Going through us

And, oh, I've known it for the longest time
And all of my hopes
All of my words
Are all over written on the signs
When you're on my road
Walking me home, home, home, home, home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love, no
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna fall in love
And put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time
Late last night
Drinking to suppress devotion
With fingers intertwined

I can't shake this feeling now
We're going through the motions
Hoping you'd stop

And though I've only caused you pain,
You know but all of my words will always be low
Although all the lies we spoke
When you're on my road
Walking me home, home, home, home, home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna feel your love, no
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna fall in love
And put your faith in my stomach

And for how long I love my lover
For how long I love my lover
And now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover (and I feel loved)
For how long, long I love my lover
I feel it all over now, now and I feel loved
For how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved
For how long, long I love my lover
Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover
Feel it all over now
For how long I love my lover
Now now
For how long, long I love my lover

When I finished singing I looked at the camera and smiled.

"Thanks guys,I love you"I waved to the webcam and turned it off.

I edited the video and uploaded it.

I was just about to start my homework when Eileen came it.

"Pack up you've been adopted"she said walking out .

I sighed while packed up my stuff .

I've been adopted loads of times but I always ended up back here.

I walked downstairs .

"So who's adopting me"I asked Megan the manager.

She pointed to the couple from earlier.

My eyes widened .
