Hallucinations

The next day, I woke up unusually early. I was still shocked when I saw the girls asleep...

And I silently prayed before walking into the bathroom.. Do you expect me to stay with brushing..

I was finished with the bathroom, and I thought of having a shower which I did.. I don't want to use the bathtub due to the fear of slipping.

I walked out of the bathroom with my pyjamas in my hand and a towel tied on my chest..

"You're awake," Someone said and I jerked instantly

"It's me don't be scared," She said and I turned only to see Madison.

"You scared the daylight out of me," I said as I breath a sigh of relief.

"Huh?" She asked.

"Just forget it," I said and looked around and something caught my eye.. Or should I say someone.

"What is Rachael doing here," I asked.

"She's Miss Malika favourite doesn't mean that she won't sleep in her room and besides today is Sunday," She said.

"Oh," I said and moved to my wardrobe.

As I opened it my eyes caught so many dresses that I didn't know I have, wait do I have a wardrobe..

I looked around and and saw a wardrobe placed at each girl's bed, how come I didn't see that..

But who could have put all this clothes for me or maybe they were bought of something.

I stared at my bed and groaned....I haven't still arranged it.

Wait, is that a digital clock on my bed drawer,, wait do I have bed side drawer

...oh what is wrong with me, why am I so not seeing things.

"What is it? If you are wondering how clothes got into there, I got it from the mall," She said.

"What this orphanage have a mall?" I asked grinning from ear to ear.

"I didn't know your size at first but when you wore those clothes I knew immediately and yeah, this orphanage has a mall," She said.

"Wow," I smiled.

"A mall, spa, meseum and so on," She said as I pulled out a dress from the wardrobe.

"Like seriously? But wait why didn't miss malika take me there," I asked.

"Sometimes she does sometimes she doesn't, it depends on if she likes you I think," She said.

"Bummer," I said and wore my clothes, I already wore my underwears in the bathroom.

"I am sure it's because of what happened when you first came," She said.

"And that was," I asked and she sighed.

"Rachael enomorus ego that got you a hot whip," She said.

"Oh that," I said lowly and suddenly heard chuckles.

Oh my who was that.. The girls are asleep and I didn't see Madison lips move so who the hell was that..

The chuckle came again and this time louder, I shivered under my dress and I saw distress in Madison's eyes too..

I think it's a witch... The voice came again and I looked around to see Racheal's body shaking and I slowly sighed..

My trembling were all in vain, it was racheal that chuckled like a cockroach how come I didn't recognize her voice..for a moment there I thought that it was a witch.

Silly me..

"Racheal, what the hell what that for," Maddy asked with furious brows.

"So you lowlife are gossiping about me even in my presence," She giggled naively.

And yeah I just said naively..

She's so naive.

"Oh please go on, you can't meet my standards so that why you are gossiping, so jealous about me," She said as she sat up.

Gross!!

"It's better I die than ever think to ever in my life be like you," Maddy said.

"Tell that you yourself, but I know the truth, I can see through you," She yelled.

"You're right you know," I said.

"Obviously," She said and I rolled my eyes and yeah I'll do it again, as many times as I want.

"You can see through us right? It's clear that you are a witch and witches die licking my sword, am a witch hunter," I said.

"You're so naive," She said.

"See whose talking the ignoramus," I laughed and Maddy giggled.

"I... I.." She stuttered.

"You.. You.." I said and chuckled.

"Little baby's gonna cry," I laughed.

"We'll see who laughs last," She said and stomped out of the room.

"Don't worry I got your back," Maddy said and I nodded.

"Thanks," I said and started making my bed.

"It's not a big deal," Tammy yawned.

"You are awake," I smiled.

"Yeah thanks to you guys," She said and we chuckled.

The door flunged open and Racheal stepped in.

"I forgot my.."

"I didn't ask," I said and she rolled, picked water was in her drawer and left..

"My Christy isn't awake," I said and walked to her bed, the prettiest of them all.

"Let her sleep, she'll be up in a minute," Maddy said and stood up.

"I am up," Christy yelled and woke up Patricia.

"What was the screaming about?" Patricia yawned.

"You girls should go freshen up after me ofcourse," Maddy said and walked into the bathroom with a towel on her chest.

That's new...

"When did she undress," I asked.

"While we were talking," Christy said.

"We should be fast in all our doings, you know today is Sunday," Patricia said, jumping.

"Why are you overreacting," Tammy asked.

"I just want to show Laura our big hall and..."

"Or you want to just see Luke so bad," I said and earned a glare from her.

"No way," She laughed nervously.

"Whateves!" I rolled my eyes.

"Just go and take a shower, you reek," I said covering my nose and Tammy laughed.

"You too," I said to her.

"That's impossible," She yelled.

"Nothing is impossible," I smiled and she looked away.

.

The girls had finished freshening up and now we were in the hall, a big beautiful hall that I just can't take my eyes off..

We patiently waited for Mr Howard but my mind was already wondering into the designs in the hall..

"I am so glad to present Mr Howard... " A lady echoed on the stage, I think.

Is this a celebrity concert..

"No it's just how we do things," Maddy said.

"Did I say that out loud," I asked.

"Yeah, yes you did," She said.

Terrific!!

"You all know that I don't do long speeches but today we have a new sibling in our mist, can we give her a welcoming clap. Laura Gold!!" Mr Howard said.

I was shocked at first but my leg just did its work, and carried me through the piercing eyes of the orphans, but now my siblings..

I still don't know how he found out my surname. I looked around and my eyes caught racheal and a guy standing in the balcony..

Who could that be, my mind wondered not minding the crowd in front of me.

I wasn't exactly seeing his face but I could tell that...

"Laura, what are you staring at. I have been calling you but you aren't answering," He said snapping me out of my thoughts.

I was just staring to see...

"Aren't you seeing?" He asked confused and the crowd laughed.

"Maybe you got an eye problem," He said.

"I am fine, I was just looking at that guy over there," I said pointing to the balcony but no one was there.

"No one's there," He said.

"Maybe she's seeing spirits," A girl said and everyone laughed.

"She's so dumb."

"I think she's a naive orphan."

"She thinks she's better than us."

"Stupid her."

"Maybe this is why her parents left her."

My heart ached at the sound of their chatters, aren't their orphans too..

My parents did they leave me because of this.

But I didn't even do anything wrong but their words are just to harsh on me..

Tears flowed down my cheeks and their laughter increased, even the girls laughed at me.

I'll always be miserable.
