The Life Of An Orphan

Chapter One

Prim sighed as the curtains were yanked open by her roommate, Sarah. Sarah turned around and grinned. She jumped on Prim's bed and lied beside her. No matter how much Prim enjoyed being with Sarah, Sarah just needed to learn a better way to wake her up. Nothing is worse than light when you first wake up. Nothing.

"Good morning, Prim! They're bringing in a few new kids, and bringing a few back in," Sarah said happily, but her smile dropping at the last part. Prim grimaced, not liking the thought of kids being abandoned again, but since not all were approved, she new it would've happened. "We're supposed to be showing the new kids around, you know that! So get up, you lazy bum," Sarah said, laughing after.

Prim smiled, dragging herself out of bed. She went over to her dresser, picking out her favorite dress for meeting new people, before picking out the rest of her outfit. Her outfit consisted of, a rose red dress that was knee high and puffed out at her waist and down, her black ribbon that went around her waist, red flats with black ribbons on them, and a black bow. She smiled at her appearance, her flame red curled hair ending half way down her back.

Prim quickly brushed her teeth before putting on her best smile. She looked over at Sarah, who was wearing almost the same thing as her, but the colors reversed. Sarah was wearing a black dress with a red ribbon wrapped around her waist, black flats with red ribbons on them, and a red bow. Her beautiful black hair curled, except her hair was shorter than Prim's when curled. They smiled at each other before walking out.

They were greeted by a few of the workers, being complimented. Prim was 16, but Sarah was only 14. They were almost twins, but exact opposites when it came to their hair or clothes. Only in colors, though. They were each handed a clipboard with names and rooms. They smiled and walked down the halls together. They did almost everything together, except today. There were too many to do together, but they decided to each get their new kid and show them around together.

It was only 8 a.m. but they had to show at least two around before breakfast. They get to spend all day showing new kids around. Then there they were. Standing back to back on each side of the hall, Sarah on the left side, Prim on the right, they looked at each other, mouthing 'one, two, three' before knocking on the doors and telling them to get dressed, giggling. Prim looked down at the name, reading the neat handwriting that read, 'Alex McGee.' Prim giggled at the name.

Then the door opened. Prim looked up, asking patiently, "Alex McGee?" He grimaced, but nodded. She raised an eyebrow having caught the expression. "Is something wrong?" She asked politely.

"I don't like my last name, simple. So don't say it, and we'll get along just fine," Alex said. Prim didn't like that. She looked down, he was only 15. She looked back up at Alex.

"Well, McGee, you're officially stuck with it," Prim said and smiled. She turned around and looked at Sarah. "Sarah, are you ready to go?" Then Prim seen she was arguing with the girl. So Prim yanked Alex with her before raising her eyebrow at the girl. "Is there a problem?" Prim said more impatiently.

"This little cunt thinks she can just drag me out of bed at eight in the morning!" The girl exclaimed. I looked at Sarah's clipboard reading the name, 'Lillian Hunter.'

"Well, Lillian, get dressed, or you can expect to walk around like that. Oh, and we don't tolerate that language here," Prim said bitter sweetly. The girl just looked at her in disbelief. Before turning around and walking into her room, slamming the door. I seen Alex watching her arse. So I smacked him upside the head before speaking, "A girls eyes are on the other side, and they aren't that low. Be respectful or else I'm dragging you out of bed at five in the morning tomorrow," Which earned her a glare. "Don't tempt me, McGee." Prim said.
