We were told not to leave the orphanage today such announcement happens once in a while, perhaps it's another social worker visit but they were around last week. The authorities are taking more steps than usual, new clothes are been bought and given to us yesterday, our rooms are being cleaned by the janitors and the surrounding is look so different.

'I don't think it's the social worker coming,' Oceania said sounding confused why she walks around the room.

I was about saying the same thing Nia, the preparation is just so different,' Sky replies look up from the book his face was buried in.

Maybe it's an adoption,' I voiced out joining the conversation while looking toward Nia, who suddenly put a stop to her walk.

If it's an adoption, then why to ask us to stay also, I mean who want to adopt a 16years old,' Sky asked me with strange look on his face.

Who know maybe they just want us stay and pretend to be happy, you know the drill,' Oceania answered on my behalf.

Have you losers heard,' May beamed walking into our room with a huge grin on her face.

Have you heard of knocking,' Sky replies her while he sits upon his bed?

May is next room neighbor because she behaves like a spoilt child, we all grew up here and no one has time to spoil anybody, she's the perfect bimbo and has always been our tormentor growing up till date.

So the mouse wants to bite,' She said to him while she checks her nails with a smirk on her face.

Please May, we don't want trouble,' Oceania pleaded with her not wanting any further abuse taking place.

Well, the authorities are expecting some couples and I think they are three couples,' She started looking confused, she played with the tips of her faked blonde hair for some minute, she forgets things easily. Now I remember, the authorities are expecting four couples, and do you know the most intriguing part of it,' she said eagerly clapping her hands with a huge smile on her face.

I looked at Nia and Sky if by chance any of them know the answer to her question, but they were both looking at May waiting for her to continue talking, We don't know, May.' I answered her rhetorical question timidly and I see nodding their heads in agreement to my answer, with fear of being insulted and beaten by her.

Of course you know nothing nerd, why do I keep disturbing my brain talking to you? Well, you won't spoil my fun I will just tell you, they want to adopt 4 sixteen year old ,' she scream hopping on a spot with her hair bouncing on her shoulder.

So, I came here to officially tell you goodbye, you won't be seeing me again after today I will be busy getting ready to leave this place in two weeks and getting to know my new family,' She continues in a calm voice but a smirk is present on her face. Don't miss me much and I will always hate you guys, I will be gone with a rich family might take pity on you and beg my parents to employ you as my maids,' She looks at us with a wicked smile on her face, I have to get ready so I can attract the best family, Goodbye,' She waves at us and walked out of the room.

We all released a big sigh of relief and happiness, I was starting to think she was never going to leave us without a dent on our body or emotions,' Sky said getting up from his bed only to make himself comfortable on ours.

That's the longest she ever stayed in our room even when she decided to vent her anger towards us,' I added moving my books to make space for Nia who is standing at the edge of the bed in deep thought.

If what she just said i9s true, I can only pray they adopt her minions along with her for us to have peace for once,' Oceania input sitting on the cleared space.

They will be separated the horror,' Sky screamed placing his palm on his forehead dramatically.

Growing up in an orphanage that serves as a home for over two hundred kids below eighteen gives a lot of advantages there is a lot of things to learn, lots of things to hope for, and nothing to live for. We learn to fend for ourselves once we are above 10 years old. We learn to survive in the harsh world by ourselves or else we end up like the kids who get tired of fighting and end up committing suicide.

We wish for a place to belong to, a place to call home, and a family to call ours especially the horror of attending high school when you are known to be a child from the orphanage. We are either made or broken as kids from the orphanage, some of us who are too desperate to fit in end up moving with the bad set of kids, some who are desperate to be loved and wanted, also end up with the wrong set of people who later break them, while there are people like I and my friends, who just want the nightmares to be over and hope for a better day every day.

Being above ten years old, the authorities tend to overlook anything done by us and everything done towards us, we are made to go through the hardship of life by ourselves either the challenge overcomes us or we overcome them, I don't think they care. We are expected to leave the system a week after our eighteenth birthday, where we go from there, who we go with, and what we do after we leave is no concern of theirs because they also have a life to live and more important things to do. The little ones below ten are their top priority, and they are taken very seriously.
