The sound of footsteps could be heard in the hall as they made their way to the door. The door was slid open and soon after the ringing of a bell was heard in the room.

The sound of the bell was followed by the yawns and shuffles of the room's occupants as they awoke.

"Get dressed and head to the meal hall!" The woman shouted as she exited the room, closing the door behind her. You could hear her footsteps halt as she opened another door, followed by the bell again, as she woke up yet another room's occupants from their slumbers.

The occupants of the first room yawned and stretched as they stood up and began to change behind the closed door.

Whenever one had finished, they would open the door a little and leave, closing it behind them for the privacy of the remaining occupants who were still getting ready.

Soon, one girl was left as she sleepily buttoned up her dress and put on some cheap socks. Once she was satisfied, she left the room to join the rest in the dinner hall.

"(Y/n)!" Snapped one of the women "You're late again! If this happens again you shall miss out on breakfast as punishment!" She continued, looking down at the young girl in front of her.

The girl could do nothing in efforts to defend herself, as she knew it was her fault for taking too much time. "Sorry. It won't happen again madam" she replied with her head down.

The older woman sighed in annoyance "Sit down so we may hand out your food" she said sternly before moving to the end of the hall with the other teachers.

The teachers walked around the tables, placing the food in front of the children as the kids patiently waited for the teachers to finish passing the food around. Once all the food had been given out, they gave thanks and began to eat.

Now, the food was not luxurious and could not even be considered a decent meal, but the children ate it none the less, as they had learned not to take for granted what little they got.

After food, the children were allowed to do what they wished with their day in the orphanage, until lunch, so they did.

There were children taking naps, playing with cars, and children outside chasing each other around in a game of tag, but over in the corner at the edge of the gate that kept the kids from running off and getting lost, sat a little girl with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes, quietly singing to herself.

It was a tune from a movie that she liked to watch, (Look at the yt vid at the start for reference to the song, if you know it kudos to you) but when she began to sing, the other kids had noticed, as a look of fear spread across their features, quickly heading inside to escape her voice.

The young girl was not oblivious to this, for it happened every time she began to sing. She had wondered if she were just so purely terrible and horrid at singing that she scared off the other kids, although she remembered how her mother would always comment on how lovely her singing was.

Could it perhaps have been that her mother lied? No, that couldn't be it, but there had to be some reason that they would run from her when she sang. Maybe they didn't care whether she had a nice voice, and just hated her and wanted to get away because they hated hearing her voice, whether it was nice or not... but that wouldn't explain their fear..

Every time she would ponder on the question for a while before giving up and heading inside. Although, she started to notice how the other kids would distance themselves from her, when she tried to talk with them, they would quickly walk away. When she'd talk or yell to get someone's name, they began to cover their ears and hide.
