Chapter 5

• The next day, I woke up unusually early. I was still shocked when I saw the girls asleep...
• And I silently prayed before walking into the bathroom.. Do you expect me to stay with brushing..
• I was finished with the bathroom, and I thought of having a shower which I did.. I don't want to use the bathtub due to the fear of slipping.
• I walked out of the bathroom with my pyjamas in my hand and a towel tied on my chest..
• "You're awake," Someone said and I jerked instantly
• "It's me don't be scared," She said and I turned only to see Madison.
• "You scared the daylight out of me," I said as I breath a sigh of relief.
• "Huh?" She asked.
• "Just forget it," I said and looked around and something caught my eye.. Or should I say someone.
• "What is Rachael doing here," I asked.
• "She's Miss Malika favourite doesn't mean that she won't sleep in her room and besides today is Sunday," She said.
• "Oh," I said and moved to my wardrobe.
• As I opened it my eyes caught so many dresses that I didn't know I have, wait do I have a wardrobe..
• I looked around and and saw a wardrobe placed at each girl's bed, how come I didn't see that..
• But who could have put all this clothes for me or maybe they were bought of something.
• I stared at my bed and groaned....I haven't still arranged it.
• Wait, is that a digital clock on my bed drawer,, wait do I have bed side drawer
• ...oh what is wrong with me, why am I so not seeing things.
• "What is it? If you are wondering how clothes got into there, I got it from the mall," She said.
• "What this orphanage have a mall?" I asked grinning from ear to ear.
• "I didn't know your size at first but when you wore those clothes I knew immediately and yeah, this orphanage has a mall," She said.
• "Wow," I smiled.
• "A mall, spa, meseum and so on," She said as I pulled out a dress from the wardrobe.
• "Like seriously? But wait why didn't miss malika take me there," I asked.
• "Sometimes she does sometimes she doesn't, it depends on if she likes you I think," She said.
• "Bummer," I said and wore my clothes, I already wore my underwears in the bathroom.
• "I am sure it's because of what happened when you first came," She said.
• "And that was," I asked and she sighed.
• "Rachael enomorus ego that got you a hot whip," She said.
• "Oh that," I said lowly and suddenly heard chuckles.
• Oh my who was that.. The girls are asleep and I didn't see Madison lips move so who the hell was that..
• The chuckle came again and this time louder, I shivered under my dress and I saw distress in Madison's eyes too..
• I think it's a witch... The voice came again and I looked around to see Racheal's body shaking and I slowly sighed..
• My trembling were all in vain, it was racheal that chuckled like a cockroach how come I didn't recognize her voice..for a moment there I thought that it was a witch.
• Silly me..
• "Racheal, what the hell what that for," Maddy asked with furious brows.
• "So you lowlife are gossiping about me even in my presence," She giggled naively.
• And yeah I just said naively..
• She's so naive.
• "Oh please go on, you can't meet my standards so that why you are gossiping, so jealous about me," She said as she sat up.
• Gross!!
• "It's better I die than ever think to ever in my life be like you," Maddy said.
• "Tell that you yourself, but I know the truth, I can see through you," She yelled.
• "You're right you know," I said.
• "Obviously," She said and I rolled my eyes and yeah I'll do it again, as many times as I want.
• "You can see through us right? It's clear that you are a witch and witches die licking my sword, am a witch hunter," I said.
• "You're so naive," She said.
• "See whose talking the ignoramus," I laughed and Maddy giggled.
• "I... I.." She stuttered.
• "You.. You.." I said and chuckled.
• "Little baby's gonna cry," I laughed.
• "We'll see who laughs last," She said and stomped out of the room.
• "Don't worry I got your back," Maddy said and I nodded.
• "Thanks," I said and started making my bed.
• "It's not a big deal," Tammy yawned.
• "You are awake," I smiled.
• "Yeah thanks to you guys," She said and we chuckled.
• The door flunged open and Racheal stepped in.
• "I forgot my.."
• "I didn't ask," I said and she rolled, picked water was in her drawer and left..
• "My Christy isn't awake," I said and walked to her bed, the prettiest of them all.
• "Let her sleep, she'll be up in a minute," Maddy said and stood up.
• "I am up," Christy yelled and woke up Patricia.
• "What was the screaming about?" Patricia yawned.
• "You girls should go freshen up after me ofcourse," Maddy said and walked into the bathroom with a towel on her chest.
• That's new...
• "When did she undress," I asked.
• "While we were talking," Christy said.
• "We should be fast in all our doings, you know today is Sunday," Patricia said, jumping.
• "Why are you overreacting," Tammy asked.
• "I just want to show Laura our big hall and..."
• "Or you want to just see Luke so bad," I said and earned a glare from her.
• "No way," She laughed nervously.
• "Whateves!" I rolled my eyes.
• "Just go and take a shower, you reek," I said covering my nose and Tammy laughed.
• "You too," I said to her.
• "That's impossible," She yelled.
• "Nothing is impossible," I smiled and she looked away.
• *
• The girls had finished freshening up and now we were in the hall, a big beautiful hall that I just can't take my eyes off..
• We patiently waited for Mr Howard but my mind was already wondering into the designs in the hall..
• "I am so glad to present Mr Howard... " A lady echoed on the stage, I think.
• Is this a celebrity concert..
• "No it's just how we do things," Maddy said.
• "Did I say that out loud," I asked.
• "Yeah, yes you did," She said.
• Terrific!!
• "You all know that I don't do long speeches but today we have a new sibling in our mist, can we give her a welcoming clap. Laura Gold!!" Mr Howard said.
• I was shocked at first but my leg just did its work, and carried me through the piercing eyes of the orphans, but now my siblings..
• I still don't know how he found out my surname. I looked around and my eyes caught racheal and a guy standing in the balcony..
• Who could that be, my mind wondered not minding the crowd in front of me.
• I wasn't exactly seeing his face but I could tell that...
• "Laura, what are you staring at. I have been calling you but you aren't answering," He said snapping me out of my thoughts.
• I was just staring to see...
• "Aren't you seeing?" He asked confused and the crowd laughed.
• "Maybe you got an eye problem," He said.
• "I am fine, I was just looking at that guy over there," I said pointing to the balcony but no one was there.
• "No one's there," He said.
• "Maybe she's seeing spirits," A girl said and everyone laughed.
• "She's so dumb."
• "I think she's a naive orphan."
• "She thinks she's better than us."
• "Stupid her."
• "Maybe this is why her parents left her."
• My heart ached at the sound of their chatters, aren't their orphans too..
• My parents did they leave me because of this.
• But I didn't even do anything wrong but their words are just to harsh on me..
• Tears flowed down my cheeks and their laughter increased, even the girls laughed at me.
• I'll always be miserable.
