I sat down at the table right across from Cassie and next to London. London seemed nice enough,but of course I wouldn't know because her hulk of a brother was always breathing down her neck. Everyone was pretty quiet except for Molly who was busy talking a boy named Teddy's ear off.
"So.." I sighed, picking the crust off my sandwich. "What are we going to do about the train?"
"What do you mean, what are we going to do about it?" Cassie said icily. "We do the same thing every year, try to avoid being adopted."
I raised one eyebrow. I'm not going to be taking any shit from her today. "I mean, Cassie," venom dripping from my words. "My brother is stuck somewhere in Boston without me and I am going to find him."
The whole table seized up in tension.
"Uh, let's not discuss this right now." Max mumbled.
I fell silent but kept my glare on Cassie. When she smiled sickly back my stomach turned over and my insides boiled.
"I'm not hungry" I said through gritted teeth. "I'll catch up with you guys later."
I pushed my tray filled with untouched food into the middle of the table and stormed away down the hall.
Nobody understands, I thought to myself. Shaking with anger, I felt tears well up in my eyes. I flew down the hall towards the left wing of the orphanage. No one goes there. A couple years ago a girl hung herself in the supply closet down here. The fear of her ghost scared most people away. Now, whenever I need to be by myself I hid here.
The tears began to fall down my cheeks which only made me more furious.
"GAHH!" I screamed and punched the stone wall. Immediately, pain shot up my hand and I sunk to the ground holding my hand, which had started to bleed, to my chest.
Exhausted and defeated, I hugged my knees to my chest ignoring the pain coursing through my hand and silently sobbed.
Even after my tears ran dry, I stayed there on the ground, hugging myself afraid that if I let go I will fall apart.
"Hey" said a voice.
