The New B-Shot: Side Stories

The Time at the Crestland Orphanage • Part 1

~Time: 6 Years Ago; Location: Crestland Orphanage

It was a brand new day, making it's way into the clear blue skies with a few puffy clouds in the air. The sun was shining through the clouds and onto the city area of Crestland, specifically the Crestland Orphanage within the Central Area of Crestland.

*Bell Ringing*

The sound of the bells were going off and sounding within the walls of the orphanage. The sunlight was shining through the windows of the building and onto the sleepy heads of the many orphans, sleeping in their beds.

One of the sleeping orphans was a little girl with messy, short-length pink hair. She slowly lifted her eye lids, revealing the bright brown color in her eyes, and waking up to the morning sun shining through the windows of the room that she shares with many other orphaned children in the giant room with her, sleeping in their own beds and not woken up by the shining light of the sun. That little girl with messy short hair was named Shiro Hama.

She pulled herself up from laying her head on the pillow and sitting up on her bed with the blanket over her legs while wearing her sleepwear, consisting of a blue, over-sized hoodie over a white top, light pink pajama pants with white star patterns, and a pair of white socks with pink star patterns on it.

"It's now morning, huh..." Shiro thought while scratching the bottom part of her hair. "Time to wake everyone up or they'll definitely miss breakfast time!" A big smile forms onto her face and stands up on top of her bed, facing the other beds with the other sleeping orphans.

"Shiro-chan...!" A young girl's voice quietly calls out to Shiro. She turns to the right and saw her best friend, Akira Takashi, standing up on her bed too. Her silver white hair was messy and all over her the place on her head and her sleepwear consists of a light blue dress, reaching below her knees with short puffy sleeves and a rounded collar, and underneath were a pair of leggings and white socks.

Akira was looking at Shiro as they were both quietly laughing at each other. Akira then mouths out "Let's wake everyone up together" to Shiro while chuckling, silently, behind her mouth. Shiro nodded and they both turned to the other sleeping orphans in the room.

"All right, everyone! Time to wake up!" Shiro shouts with both hands on both sides of her mouth to make her voice louder .

"Time to wake up or you'll miss the most important time: Breakfast Time!" Akira follows-up and shouts too, also holding her hands up to the sides of her mouth. Shiro gives her a thumbs up while Akira returned the gesture by doing the peace sign with both hands.

A few moments later, after shouting so loudly in the room, everyone was slowly waking up and sitting up on their beds, clearing their minds up of what happened and getting out of their beds to get themselves ready for the day. All of the orphans were ranging from 5  to 12 years old and they are all close with each other since they didn't know what to expect from their biological parents. Whatever happened, they are all acting like brothers and sisters to each other, even if they are not blood related.

Currently, Shiro and Akira are both 6 years old. They are both best friends ever since their first meeting, always talking and playing together, they're more like sisters than best friends.

"Come on, Shiro-chan!" Akira jumps off and lands on the ground, "Let's get ourselves ready, so we don't miss breakfast time." She said and quickly makes the bed, doing it perfectly.

"Yeah! I can't miss breakfast time, especially today! It's Pancake Tuesday today and I want a stack of four delicious pancakes...!" Shiro exclaimed in reply as she jumps down and quickly making the bed too, which she also did it perfectly like Akira.
