"Hi, I'm Shyla and I'm 9. I've been moved into seven orphanages. This one in the UK is the most recent and I live here temporarily. The other orphanages moved me because, well, no one would choose me. They gave me several chances, but no one cared to choose me. My past was that even my own parents didn't even want to keep me."
"The girls always talks behind my back and when I look, they glare. The boys give a scoff when I walk by. I guess it makes sense, since I'm alone in this orphanage."
"At night is when I have somebody on my side. I would watch 8-bitryan because he was brave, even when he was scared, he pushed through it. He's my hero, my friend. I'm so glad to have someone be beside me. But the kids would laugh and the adults would hate me. I never do much, but they still hate me."
