"Ha!hold up-is that the orphan, the orphan that the great , rich and powerful Wilson's adopted?"I hear a rude and arrogant voice spark up behind me.
"dude, it is! Oh let's take a photo hurry."
I start picking up my pace as I walk back from the library tightly holding my book in my arms , gradually starting to run I try to escape from their mocking voices but they get the best of me and I turn around with my visibly pale face and shout
"What do you want?! Why can't I just live like a human being over here? How am I different then all of you?"
"hah! How am I different you ask, your poor , hopeless and filthy, you don't deserve to be in a rich family, it disgusts me how people can actually adopt and love a worthless piece of trash."The boy in front of me scoffs in disgust.
The words pieced my skin sharper than any knife and I couldn't stop sweating and breathing heavily .
"look, he's scared"a boy mocks while surrounding me along with several other boys who looked taller and stronger than me.
I had never felt this vulnerable before.
"What do you want from me?"I whimper devastated.
They start closing in on me as I thought my life was about to end but suddenly,
"HEY ! What do you think your doing ?Do you want me to call the police?get outta here!"A hear a woman scream from the house behind me as I watch them run away in fear with panicked expressions on their face.
"Come inside ,are you hurt?"She asks concerned as she pulls me inside her house to let me rest.
"No I'm fine."I say while looking down at my trembling feet.
"Alright then, but if anything ever happens again, you have to contact me I'll be right there ok?"She looks at me as she gives me her number.
"Here" she says after carefully writing down the last three digits and putting the piece of paper in my hand.
speechless, I look at her not knowing what to say,
"Why did you help me? After all, I'm just a poor pathetic orphan and someone like me doesn't deserve to be adopted by a rich family"I blabber as a few tears fall out my eyes.
"Your not worthless, every human was sent into this world for a purpose , everyone is special. Believe it or not, but I was also really insecure just like you when I moved her, but after finding out that I'm no less than anyone else, I became confident."The kind woman comforts me.
"Why would you be insecure about anything? I mean you have this huge house and look like you're rich , so what would you be sad about?"I ask
"Even though I'm rich,I was still criticized deeply about my face." She says while looking down sadly.
"What? But your beautiful? Why would anyone say that?"I ask a bit confused.
"hey, I'm over it now, and I just want you to know that, no matter what anyone says, you are your own person and even though no one else sees it, the stars will always be with you, supporting you."
"huh? The stars?Thats a bit silly don't you think?"I giggle in amusement.
"You might not realize it right now, but I have a feeling you will understand better when you're older."she says while slightly smiling.
"oh, well I think I should go home now, mom would be really worried by now, thanks for your help again!"I leave quickly in a rush while waving my hand goodbye.
I quickly sprint back home quietly opening the door to my house and tip toeing inside .
"Where were you? I was worried sick! Did something happen? Did anyone say anything to you? Did you get hurt?"Mom rambles out a bunch of questions at once.
"sorry mom, I borrowed the wrong book from the library so I had to go back and get the right one so I was a bit late today."
"Oh, it's ok sweetheart , but just make sure to worry me like that next time."
"Of course ." I reply going upstairs to my room and throwing myself on the bed,
