Chapter 1: Sad Life
DANIELLA
God I so much hate my life. I know I am abandoned and an orphan but must everybody remind me everytime?
I frowned as I watched students in the hallway whispering to themselves laughing and pointing at me as I walked pass them some where even taking videos and pictures of myself.
"Yeah that's my life everyday."
You could say that I am the most popular person in our school. but unlike others, not in a positive way. I am literally the school joke or fun object.. what ever you want to call it.
I heard a ding sound from my phone and brought it out to check it, only to see pictures of myself with different hashtags, #nerd orphan, #poor beggar. I sighed softly these rich heirs and heirness won't let me any atom of peace or comfort.
I put my phone back into my bag and kept them in my locker while I removed my notebook and headed for lectures...
★★★
The bell rang 30minutes later and everyone sighed in relief including me.
You might think that I am lazy but that's not the case, this man's lectures is always boring.
If he is not talking about his achievements, he is talking about World War I, II or even World War III. Tell me who does that in Biology?
I walked out of the class with everyone else and kept my book in my locker then collected my lunchbox and headed for the cafeteria.
While walking I noticed some.. more precisely all the students in the hallway staring at me.
Not like they don't always stare at me but this one is different. I opened the door to the cafeteria and something smelly splashed on me.
Everyone in the cafeteria laughed at me and I ran out in tears. Oh God this is too much for me to bear help me.
I hate myself for being weak, for not being able to defend myself, for letting them override me.
But then I'm just by myself. I have no one to support me.
Maybe if I had parents, things would have been different.
GENERAL DONOVAN
Sir the war is fast approaching we need more soldiers that is the only way out. I scoffed as I listened to the other Generals arguing.
Enough!!! The Field Marshal said and every where dead silent.
What do you think General Donovan? He asked me and I looked up to him indifferently and spoked.
"The only thing to do here is to recruit soldiers to fight for their home more likely get them to come here well legally though. We'll ask the court to issue out a court order."
I relaxed in my chair and stared at all the people in the hall.
So you are trying to tell me that we should snatch the freedom of people out there just because we are in short of soldiers?
What about the parents of those people do you have a heart General Donovan
You are a soldier for goodness sake and you fight for freedom not snatch it from people. I say we fight the way we are for our country and home. General Khalid said.
Some of the generals nodded in agreement while others disagreed. I stared right at his face and spoke.
"We should fight for our country and home you said"? I asked and he nodded.
Then what happens to our families when we fight to death and end up losing the war? I asked again and him with the other generals that agreed with him were tongue tied. I didn't say snatch people's freedom, it is just until the war is over and besides we will go for orphans from the orphanage with no parents or relatives.
After the war we would give them the privilege to choose whether to continue as soldiers or leave the military and we will also support them in any legal career they choose. This is our country and home and everybody should fight to protect it not only the soldiers. I concluded.
OK! Thank you General Donovan I think your idea is great so I'll leave the recruitment of the soldiers and also their training into the hand's of you and General Khalid! Meeting dismissed the field Marshal said and walked out of the board room followed by others.
I stood up and was about to walk out when general Khalid stopped me.
You really have no kindness to humanity. you know very well that this is not the only option and it is also not right. He said.
We don't do things because it is right or wrong, we do things that are a necessity General I expect you of all people to know this . I said and walked out of the hall.
