the orphan life

Chapter 5

Chapter 5.            (picture of Dylan at side)

"Anything good happen?" Ella asked

"Would do you mean?"

"Tonight? Did anything crazy happen?" she said as we got comfy in bed

"Oh umm,  no nothing really actually.  We just chatted" i said

"Care to elaborate? "

"What happens at counselling, stays at counseling"  i said with a smirk

"Oh shut up" she responded playfully

We laughed and then Kat and Amber yelled at us to shut up. I went to sleep thinking about what Ms. Dont told me.  I have control over my life. I feel like Mrs. Donald is controlling that life. And I'm a puppet. I thought maybe i should tell Dont about how Donald is taking Scott's money and using it for her own benefit. But again,  with what proof. Great.

One thing that makes me jelous of Elizah's punishment is that he gets to skip part of math to help out in the library. When the librarian came to get him,  and the teacher wasn't looking he mouthes the words 'fuck yea'  and flicked us all off with both hands. Amber,  Kat and Dylan gave him a death glare but Scott and i just smirked. When we were taking about the top rules of algebra the bell rang and we all walked literally five feet our the class room to get to history. When I got in i noticed how Elizah's things were at his desk already,  but he himself wasn't in the room.

We began class like any other,  reviewing what was learned last class,  checking to see who didn't do they're homework.  Only today we moved on from the cold war to the declaration of independence.  It brought back memories of when we learned all this when I was 11. I remember back then we were slightly more people in our age group.  Well i mean,  in every age group.  I remember a girl named Gina who was Scott's age.  I also remember that there was a debate going in between Amber and Kat about who was going to be adopted first between the two. So fare neither of them won.

"Okay everyone, i will be pairing you up into groups of 2. Amber and Scott.  Elizah and Kat. And Callista and Dylan. "

Well shit.  Now i gotta work with a jackass.

"Excuse me" Kat said "My partner isn't here"

"We will give the work sheet when he gets back" the teacher said

Elizah never came back that day. I dont mean that he went missing or anything.  He just didn't come back to class or school.  Aftet class Scott i and went to see him in his their room before we started with our chores.

We knocked on the door. Silence. 

"Elizah! You in there! "

" Yea! "he said as his voice cracked, he had been crying.

"We're coming in, okay! " i said

When we walked in, Elizah was at the end of his bed, legs crossed, head in his hands. His eyes were puffy and he kept on sniffling.

Scott and i walked in slowly toward him.  He didn't agnolige us, he just kept staring at the ground.

"Elizah, whats wrong?" i asked

"Budy is it because you hate your punishment, cause you know we can always just bribe the ganetor to say you've been helping him? " Scott said.  Elizah didnt answer.

" Please talk to us, Elizah" i begged.  There was a breaf moment of silence before he finally spoke.

"My dad found me...  And he wants to meet me" he said slowly.

Scott and I looked at each other in shock. Ive never heard of one the orphans parents looking for they're child. This was bigger news to me then when the twin towers got hit.

"How do you know? "
