2 - Who am I

Warning: Swear Words 😀👍

Present time, age 12:

     You were running.  You didn't know why, you just were. Wait no, perhaps you were falling. Yeah.. that seemed right. You were falling. Falling and falling down. The image of your dead friend still flashed through your mind. Even though that incident happened four years ago, it still traumatizes you.

You suddenly feel something heavy on your chest.

"Y/N! Y/N! Wake up! Can you help me tie my shoes pretty pwease?"
Your eyes shot open to see one of the orphans and one of your younger siblings straddling you.
You sigh.
"Okay, okay. But please, just get off me?"

"Okay!"

You get out of bed and help your younger siblings get ready for the day.  You then follow them into the hallway and start heading towards the dining hall. On the way there, you couldn't help but zone out and started thinking about your life here at Grace Field House. After you saw the corpse of your friend Suzy, you started to become distant and wary of Mom. You became less energetic than you used to be, zoned out a lot, and tended to keep to yourself.
*thud*

You have just walked into a door, you idiot.

"Y/N! Are you okay?" You hear a voice say.

Looking down at the voice, you smiled.
"Good morning Conny, and yeah, I'm fine." You assured the little girl, "I'm just a huge clutz, heh."

Conny held Little Bunny, her stuffed toy, close.
"If you say so, Y/N.."

And so, Conny walked off.

You opened the doors to the dining hall and were greeted by several familiar faces.

A white haired boy was walking by carrying several dozen plates and silverware. The boy stopped and turned to you.

"Oh, good morning Y/N." The white haired boy, Norman said with a smile.

You did a small bow,
"Good morning."

"Could you help me with setting up breakfast please?"

You simply nodded and took some of the plates from Norman's arms.

"Thanks, Y/N!"

3rd Person POV:

After Y/N finished setting the plates down, the (hair color) haired girl sat down at an empty table.

She couldn't help but listen to the conversations others were having right now.
"What are you, five?" One of your older siblings, Ray, teased

The (hair color) haired girl's lips formed into a small curl.
"Heh, that's funny." She amused

"No! I'm thirteen! Just like you, Norman, and Y/N!" Another one of the oldest, Emma, pouted.

Suddenly, Mom came into the room and suddenly, Y/N lost interest. She turned your attention to the floor, tuning out all of the voices in the room.
"Mornings are boring." She thought to yourself.

——

Y/N jumped when you felt a hand was placed on your head.

Y/N looked up to see Mom.

"Good morning my dear Y/N." Mom smiles with affectionate eyes and walks away.

"Dear Y/N my ass. You think you can fool me with your stupid act?" You muttered under your breath. "Fuck you."

"You wanna fuck me? At least say good morning first." You hear a voice say.

You look up to see a familiar jet black haired boy.
"Ray I-"
Ray laughed.
"Ray, no. Just pretend you didn't hear me, please."
You looked away embarrassed. You didn't expect anyone to be listening to you.

"I never thought I'd see the day where the goody two shoes Y/N would say a swear word."

You glare at Ray. He only grinned and took the seat across from you.

"You do that a lot."

You cock your head.
"Do what?"

"Zone out. You zone out a lot. You cock your head like this too." Ray replied, imitating you by cocking his head to one side with a confused facial expression.

"I don't look dumb like that."

"Pfft, you kind of do."

"Ray!" You cross your arms.

——

You stared at the food on your plate. You weren't exactly in the mood for eating right now.

"What's the matter?" Ray inquired,

"Hm?"

"You're not eating."

"Yeah, that's kind of obvious 'Mr. I Know Everything.' " You scoffed

"You should eat, you'll get sick if you continue to skip meals."

"It's only been two days since I've started doing that, Ray. Plus I'm old enough to take care of myself."

Ray furrowed his eyebrows and looks at you in the eye.

"Y/N, you say you can take care of yourself? Well you're not really doing a good job."

You rolled your eyes at him.

"Why are you caring so much about me anyways?"

"Because I love you."

"What-"

"As a sister, of course."

You raised an eyebrow at him. You've never seen Ray act like this before.

"Anyways.." Ray looked like he was hesitating, "I just wanted to talk with you."

"... Huh?"

Ray stared at you. You stared back. His expression looked unsure.

"...Actually, nevermind."

"Um, are you alright?-"

"Forget what I said. Bye."
Ray walked away.

"..."

You couldn't help but feel like trouble was coming ahead.
