Awake at Night

Chapter 1 ~Sam~

Drip. Drip. Drip.
Man, I have got to fix that tap. 
Oh. Hey there. I am Sam McLane. I live in a bathroom. Yay.
Ok, let’s just get this over with. 
My mom and dad abandoned me when I was 2 months old. Most people don’t even remember anything until they’re at least one year but the memory was still good as new in my head. I ended up in three different orphanages. This one was the worst. All the other people got luxury rooms. I got the driver's room cause no drivers actually went there. We all just took cabs like normal people. Okay, so now you know the basics. Let’s get on with it.
It was a cold morning because you know, it was winter. Anyway, I was sleeping on the floor as always, wrapped in my thin blanket when it was time to get up. How do I know when I need to get up? My best friend comes and bangs on the door every single morning. It is very annoying, thank you for asking.
‘Get up, you lazy moron!’ she called. For some reason it never really mattered what names she called me. It’s different every day. Yesterday was “Stupid Idiot”. 
I nodded my head in disapproval and answered the door. Sylvie (her name) was standing impatiently at the door looking at her watch every second. ‘Come on! Today is bagel day and I don't want to miss it because you decided you wanted to take a million years to wake up’ she said.
I went and got my bag,brushed my teeth (I did that after getting my bag because I forgot), combed my hair and went out of my room to  find Sylvie aldreay to the end of the corridor. I ran after her.
Sylie was tall for her age. She was 13. I was 14. She came here last year cause her mother died in a car accident. Her father abandoned her and her mother before she was even born. Even though she had such a sad past with her mother having different kinds of diseases and everything she still seemed like a happy person. She always wore black leggings and sweatshirts. Her long and silky brown hair was always in a high ponytail or a bun. My hair however, was not that um great mostly cause I didn't really care about it.
We reached the bottom of the 1000 staircases (That was a joke we don’t really have 1000 staircases we have 12) where my other best friend (slightly less annoying) was waiting for us.
‘If I missed bagel day because of you two, I swear I’m gonna kill you,Sam’ said Al.
‘Hey, what about Sylvie? She was late too!’ I said even though it was no use.
‘It’s gonna be Taco Monday all over again’ Al muttered.
I shot him an annoyed look. He got the message and looked away.
We entered the hall. When I saw Hart (the guy who gets us seated. Told ya. Luxurious.) I instantly said ‘I think I forgot my seat card again’ 
Sylvie and Al both looked at me at the same time. I got scared. They are very scary. 
‘ No need Mr.McLane’ Hart said. I looked towards him and said the smartest thing ever.
‘Huh?’ I was thoroughly confused. Hart never let me in without my seat card. 
‘Yes,a lady came by and upgraded you three into the buffet. You guys also got upgraded to the master suite.’ He said. We shot him another very confused look. 
Hart sighed ‘She paid in the form of cash’
Well, that explained everything. Yeah that’s normal. A random lady comes and upgrades all three of us to the unlimited taco and bagel buffet and to the master suite by paying a large amount of money in the form of cash. Yep. Very very normal.
I took a minute to process. And then I said something. ‘Huh?’ 
Hart sighed again ‘Mr.McLane, and friends please go to the buffet.’
Now you see, the buffet not only had unlimited bagels and tacos but it also had an unlimited amount of bullies. I wasn't so happy about the second part.
We went into the buffet hall.
