Here i was,sitting by the window, staring at the families i could see outside. i always wished to have one but i think life has a different plan for me. Looking at this i always wondered if in life's plan for me i was going to experience any of it.
"Lisa are you ready?", i turned around to meet the kind eyes of sister Janet. She is probably the only person i can tolerate in my life right now.
"must i go down, i really don't want to"
"don't be like this", she said while sitting next to me while staring out the window, "I'm really trying, but it's hard to put effort when the same thing keeps happening over and over again".
she put her hands on my shoulder and said "Lisa darling I've told you to always have faith" "I do have faith but it always happens. You know what let's just go, we'll see about this time". and with that said we both got up and left the room.
How about we get to the introductions,my name is Melissa(just Melissa,I'm called Lisa for short and i have no last name). I'm one of the many orphans at St.Mary's orphanage home. I'm 16, a straight A student. You see the only problem with my life is that i don't have a family,friends or anyone I'm close to(well except for sister Janet) I'm a loner.
Today is adoption day at the orphanage. It is not something i would be happy about because i never get adopted, even if i do i usually get returned within months,no one wants me.
Currently, Sister Janet and I are on our way to the to the event room where tables have being arranged. Everyone is meant to sit and then anyone in interested in you would come sit with you and you guys can talk and if they are interested they'll go to the Head Nun and request to adopt you. That doesn't mean you are leaving that day because there are a lot of paper works to be filled, it just means you are off the market and once every arrangement is done a date is set for you to be picked.
Sister Janet turned to look at me and said "remember to smile.." "because smiling makes you look cute and cute kids are always chosen" i completed it before she could, she just smiled at me and kissed me on my forehead and left.
I sat there for half of the day and no one spoke to me, i was getting tired of the comments people made, either they say "look at her she's so lonely" or it was " she doesn't even have friends and she's a teenager". I walked over to Sister Janet who was in charge of handing out adoption forms, "sweetie are you okay" she asked when she saw me walking towards her, "yes I'm fine. i was just wondering if it would be okay if i went to my room. I'm kinda tired of sitting there and listening to everyone's comment about me". She looked at me and i could see the pity in her eyes, i knew that if she had her way she would stop everything . "of course dear, I'll just tell them you weren't feeling too well" "thanks a lot, i love you" i kissed her on the cheek and went to my room.

i have spent my whole life in this orphanage and that's why i have a room to myself and also because my roommates where adopted some weeks before now. sitting in my room i started to feel self pity and that's wrong because i hate self pity.
I decided to look for Sister Janet so i could tell her that i was going out for a while, in the orphanage it was allowed as far as you told someone where you were going and didn't stay out late. After i had told Sister Janet that i was going out and had collected my permission slip i headed out.
Since it was just 3'o clock in the afternoon i decided to just take a walk for an hour then go back to the orphanage.
As i was walking I kept feeling like someone was following me but that was strange because no one even knows me. Half way through my journey I decided to go back because the strange feeling i had was becoming stronger and for some odd reason the streets were now empty. As I was walking back it started drizzling, fortunately for me I was wearing a leather hood so I was able to cover my hair and prevent it from getting wet. I noticed that a black car was following me( I don't know names of cars so it's hard for me to place it). The car drove past me and I felt relieved because I thought it was following me. Later on another car passed, I decide to walk fast because I didn't like the feeling i was getting, another came but this time it stopped right by my side I walked than I was already walking but just to be cautious I started running, but unfortunately for me I didn't notice the people that was following me on foot so they also started running after me. My athletic skills were not helping at this point because soon they caught up with me and pinned me down. they tried to get me in the car but I kept on struggling, one of them reached into the car and collected something and when I turned I noticed it was an injection. The realization that they were going to inject me and drug me with whatever was there scared me and I suddenly kicked the one person who was holding me in the groin and ran away, I turned to a corner and when I noticed that I had lost them I stopped to catch my breath, just when I turned to continue walking someone pulled me and then I felt a sting on my arm, I looked down and realized that the person had injected me with something.
My vision became blurry but i managed to look up to see a very addicting set of blue eyes staring at me.
