My life

“Come back here, right this instant!”

If I don’t stop running now the situation is going to go from bad to worse but when the adrenaline is pumping in your veins and your thoughts are going crazy, then you have to go with the flow. Why am I even running in the first place, I didn't do anything wrong. The other kids did it. But of course blame it on the weak one, typically. And one more thing, why is it always so dark here? Can’t the headmistress really not afford electricity? At this point I had run into a humanwall.

“Come here you little brat!”. She grabbed my arm hard and dragged me on the floor to her office. She took out a ruler from the drawer and put my hand on the desk, locked me in place. I saw her raise her hand and the next thing I know pain is spreading from my fingers to my whole body.

By now you may already have figured out that the headmistress is not a kind woman.

...****************...

Some time has passed since the punishment and I’m laying on my rusty old bed, gazing up at the

ceiling thinking what I should do now. I hate this place, I want to run away. I have been here since I was one years old. My fourteenth birthday was over a month ago, and with that you know that I have been living in this hell hole in many years. Suddenly I feel a shock of pain in my head. And dizziness comes upon me.

I get up and go to the bathroom. I let the water go and cupped my hands to start drinking the water. When I’m done, I look at myself in the mirror scanning my face. My messy black hair with the bright blue eyes don’t match with each other. I’m the only kid in this orphanage with those eyes.

I hear a loud banging on the door. “Ezra, are you in there?”. I open up to see a blond girl with a worried look in her eyes. “Are you okay?, I haven't seen you since breakfast.” I go out of the bathroom and go to sit on my bed. “ I’m fine Lisa, you don't have to worry so much.” Lisa, she got transferred here when she was one years old too so she is the same age as me. Lisa is the only one I can trust here and yes, she is my only friend. She is not like the other kids here, she does not judge me by my appearance. I thought when I first met her that she would be mean and tease me for my weakness. But she diden’t, instead she protected me and started to hangout whit me.

I feel some itching in my hands, I remove the bandage to see my wounds closing up quickly. “Wow, you have always been a fast healer. I don’t know how you do it.” The pain is gone from my hands and I look up. “I don’t know how, it just does it by itself.“ She nodded and took my hand. “Did you hear? The twins are getting adopted to a rich man. They are in the headmistress office. We should go and see.” I nod and we get up and head to her office. When we arrived at our destination, we could hear some faint voices coming from the other side of the old wooden door. I could not decipher the words but before I realized it the door opened, and out came the old hag.
