My Tragic Life

Chapter 1

Laura Pov

"Laura, you should get something to eat you have been on the bed since"tammy said worried

"I'm fine"i said rubbing my pained back

"you don't look fine to me"she said

"Miss Malike would soon come and give us our chores"maddy said

"please get up, you are scaring me"christy said and I smiled

It's the first time someone had ever been scared or worried about me.

"OK am up"i said and stood up not minding the pains I'm feeling

"today is Saturday and each Saturday's we do orphanage chores, after that we take our bath.said maddy

"you should go and brush your teeth, I told Christy to wake you but she didnt"tammy said

"I didn't want to disturb her"christy defended

"it's okay"i said

"you'll brush your teeth there"tammy pointed to the bathroom

"there's a new tooth brush there for you already"she said, I nodded and took a glance at it and my eye caught Rachel bed.

She hasn't been here since our fight, I still remember how her face was and I couldn't help but feel pity for her.

I am a person that finds it easy to forgive and forget.

Don't worry as my story goes on, you'll know more about me.

I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and for the first time I saw a bathtub, the other orphanages don't have one, not even the rich one.

I feel like jumping into it right now.

I brushed my teeth quickly and walked out before I would do anything stupid.

"this place looks expensive"i said as I sat on my bed.

"yeah, it is"christy said

"it's the Muller's orphanage, it is expensive it self"maddy said

"who is muller"i asked

"according to the museum, George Muller and his wife built this orphanage and it was passed on from generation to generation"patricia said

"and now it's Mr Howard's turn to take care of the orphanage"tammy said

"before you ask, Mr Howard is the owner of this orphanage, well, Mr George Muller is his great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great... "she choke and I smiled

"there are a lot of great in it, his great grand father George Muller passed it on to his children and it continued like that till it reached Mr Howard's turn and after Mr Howard is Luke "Madison said

"yeah, Luke is so dreamy and.."Patricia said

"awwwn"we all said

"did I say that out loud"she asked

"you sure did"i smiled

"I never knew you had a crush on Luke"maddy said

"neither did i"tammy said

"is he that dreamy.. "I asked

"he's handsome "Tammy said

"sweet" Maddy said

"caring"christy said

"loving"patricia said

"you'll know when you meet him"she said

"okay, let's properly introduce ourselves"tammy said and we nodded

"Am Tammy, you know that already, am 14 years old, I love outings and am an emotion freak, I also love sports "she said

"am Madison, am 15, love sight seeing, and I have a passion for drawing "she said

"am Patricia, am 14 soon to be 15 next month, I have a thing for reading and dancing"she said

"am Christy, I also love reading, am 12, and I love love singing"she said

"am Laura, am 15 soon to be 16 in just a few months, I love reading like a lot, I even have a lot of novels"i said

"wow, I love to read them"the girls chorused

"okay when will you like to read th.."

"Now"patricia and christcome yelled

"well, o...."

The door banged open and the girls quickly stood up, I wondered why, I couldn't see the person who opened the door because Maddy was covering me.

"get up"tammy whispered and I stood up immediately

Standing up brought the clear view of the person and guess who.

It was Mr's malika and the so called queen of the house, Rachel.

"you are all here, will the toilets clean itself"i yelled at us

"no ma'am "they chorused while Rachael smiled

"get to work"she said and we scrambled out of the room with Tammy dragging me along.

"does she always act that way"i asked

"you'll get use to it "she said and I shrugged

"we have to get our cleaning tools and get to work"maddy said and they nodded

She's bossy

"Patricia you're cleaning the bed room, Christy can accompany you too.

Laura and Tammy, you guys will take care of that bathroom"she said and we went to get our materials and do our jobs

"what is Maddy gonna do"i asked as I cleaned the sink.

"she's gonna be cleaning Miss malika bedroom"she said

"what about Rachael "I asked

"she doesn't do anything "she said

"wow"i exclaimed

"she's exclusive in our chores, that's so unfair "I said

"yeah, but we don't have a say"she said

"oh"i pouted

"oh, I just can't wait for tomorrow "she shrieked happily

"what's gonna happen tomorrow? "I asked

"Mr Howard is coming"she said

"and? "I asked cause I know there's more to it.

"he brings gifts with him"she said

"I'm done"i said

"just now"she asked surprised and I nodded

Even though I spent half of my life on the streets, I am not lazy, there's nothing I hate more than laziness.

"I'll help you"i said getting closer to her

"Nah I can finish it myself, thanks anyway"she smiled

"you can go check on the others, I'll be out in a minute "she said and I nodded

I slowly walked to the room, leaving my equipments behind.

Dang it.

Christy and Patricia already finished cleaning so I spent some time with them.

"am done"tammy said as she strolled out of the bathroom

I looked at her hands and saw both my cleaning equipment and hers.

She's so nice.

Speaking from the heart.

"We should drop these, follow me"she said and trailed behind her

"okey dokeyi" said and we laughed

"it has being ling since I heard that"she said between laugher

"we should go before madam Madison will come and chop our head off for slacking"she said

"but we aren't slacking"i said as she opened the door to the store room

"she's kinda bossy" she smiled

"I know"i smiled too

"but she's cool"she said

"yeah"i smiled

"let's go"she said after arranging the stuffs

I stepped out of the room and my eyes locked with a guy who was passing by.

He smiled at me.

And I must say he looks cute.

It's just a saying not that I like him or anything, I don't love guys or even get close to them since I got r***d.

I don't intend to do so in future.

I stared at him and shifted my gaze to somewhere else.

"that's Gabriel, he's also an orphange"tammy said

"oh, so they are also boys here"i asked

"both "she said

"I didn't know"i said

"let me show you around"she said and dragged me to God knows where.

According to the places I saw along the way.

She took me to the entrance of the orphanage.

"let's start here"she said and left my hand while i stared at what was in front of me

"George Muller's Orphanage "I read

"I didn't see that when I came in"i said

"you only saw the children's home part, that happens to the best of us"she smiled

"we better start going"she said and we headed into the building

.

"am gonna try that"i said

"I also have to visit that museum of ours"i smiled

"do know that Bristol is so huge, you will definitely get lost"she laughed

Just so you know, I live in Bristol, England.

"let me tell you were you are, so that you won't get missing"she said and I rolled my eyes

"you're in number 6 Wilson street in Bristol, England got that"she asked

"I know the country and city I'm from"i almost yelled

"just incase"she smiled

"something has gone wrong in that head of yours"i laughed and she gave me a stare

Am having a great time after all.

I promise not to leave here.

Not even that brat or the wicked miss malika will make me leave.

"hey asshole"a girl said behind me but I ignored her.

Wait... I thought they don't insult.

Tammy looked back, sighed and looked away.

The girl voice does sound a bit familiar

"Laura, I'm talking to you"she said and I immediately knew that it was that brat Racheal

"what is it"i said as I turned to her.

Two girls were beside her.

And I am here feeling sorry for them.

"let's continue what we started right here right now "she smirked
