"Woahhh! Is that Miss (Y/N)?"
"Miss Yanny wasn't lying when she said she looked very pretty!"
"Danny, for the last time, her name is Miss Laurel!"
"Does Miss (Y/N) have some donuts with her? I'm hungry..."
"You're always hungry, Bobby!"
"Are those boxes for us? It'a huge!"
The children were already talking about you as if you were some celebrity walking on the red carpet. You smile at the children, some turning away from embarrassment, some blushed and awkwardly smiled back, some enthusiastically waved at you.
The boxes come out, most of which your parents has sent over the hours to Laurel.
Coming in, you inhale the nice and inviting atmosphere the orphanage had given.
Laurel comes from behind you, excitingly bouncing up and down.
"Okay! Talk out on how you're gonna explore this huge place! I'll be listening to Grandma over here!"
You turn to the side, Grandmother Susan already has a story book in hand, given by an 8-year-old boy and a small crowd forming.
The children looked so focused on what she was reading, you couldn't help but giggle.
You finally take a look at the guys.
"All right! I think it's best if we all split up, we can take a look at the places we want to look at."
You were about to end it there but then you meet Edd's eyes.
Something was off about them.
His eyes weren't usually so dull like that...
"...he would be taking drugs that would have some side-effects,"
What kind of side-effects are we talking about here?
You bite your lip.
"...Edd, why don't you come with me?"
You smile, a bit awkwardly.
The doctor did say to keep an eye on him.
He seemed to jump a bit, nodded and walked beside you.
'Wait...wasn't he just being clingy to me like 20 minutes ago...?'
You give him a concerned look but he doesn't seem to notice.
By this time, the others have wandered off, to which you were relieved. The thing with Tord earlier just made you more conscious on what they were doing around you.
"Ah, (Y/N). Can we get going now?" He suddenly asks.
You shake your head and smile at him.
"Sure! Let's check out the garden first." You say, grabbing his hand out of habit, only to it getting pulled away.
You turn around just in time to see Edd sticking it into his pocket.
You frown.
'I guess the first side-effect is mood swings?'
The garden was beautiful to say the least.
Though it only had around 5 or 6 children in it.
Maybe it's because the actual playground is at the front.
"Woah, the atmosphere is just so beautiful here!" You say, going to one of the vacant tire-swings.
The children there seemed to notice you two walking to the tree, and decided to approach you.
"Are you...Miss (Y/N)?"
A child maybe around 9-years-old had asked.
"Oh yes! That's me...um...what's your name?" You ask in return.
"Lexie. Is Mister here your boyfriend?"
'Why is it whenever I hangout with a boy, everyone suddenly assumes it's my boyfriend?'
"Ah no—"
"Yes."
You turn to look at Edd, stunned by his reply.
He smiles and kneels down to Lexie's height.
