Blue
Prolouge
Yes, my parents named me
Blue.
No, they did not name me Blue because they hated me.
They named me Blue, they say, because I was born with blue
hair. It does sound impossible, but it's completely
true.
My parents put me in an orphanage when I was 3, and I remember
how my mom's hair was always a bleach blonde flowing in the
wind, and how there was a little sparkle in my Dad's eyes.
I miss them, but they promised on my 16th birthday, they would
be back for me.
2 days from now is my 16th birthday, and I am really excited to
get out of this dump of an orphanage.
Okay, it's not a dump, it's really nice. Everybody has
their own rooms, and we can share them with our best
friend's or someone, if we want. The "leader" as
we call her, asks us to call her by her first name, which is
Haley. Haley is only 22, and she took her mother's place at
this orphanage.
She is a sweet girl, and she loves us all very equally. I'm
going to miss her so much, but you know what my orphanage does
that most do not?
Haley give us phones on our 13th birthday! And, if we get
adopted or our parents come back, she let's us keep it!
I'm not very popular in my school, or the orphanage for
that matter. The most popular girl, Abby, has both of her
parents and lives in a mansion with them. My best friend,
Nelli, only has a dad, because her mom died when we were 7.
They aren't rich, though, they live in an apartment on the
corner of 3rd.
I don't visit Nelli much, because my orphanage is on 22nd
and that is out of my boundries.
See, when you are 1-10 you aren't allowed to go out of the
orphanage without an adult, from 10-13 your boundries are from
22nd (our street) to either 30th or 16th, then when you are
14-17 your boundries are 22nd to either 32nd or 12th, then from
17-until you move out, you are allowed to go
anywhere. Nelli visits me, whenever her dad can drop her
off.
Which is today! Her father is dropping her off in an hour, and
we are going to go to Bill's Pizza on 19th. I have money,
because I have a part-time job as a cashier at the corner deli
on 20th.
Right now, it is 10:30 A.M. and I am wondering what Haley or
Nelli are getting me for my birthday this year?
Usually, Nelli get's me something, that she get's a
different color or style in or something. I think this year she
is going to get us designer purses.
Usually, Haley get's everyone something small that is $20
or less. Sometimes, she get's us stuff for our rooms, like
new dressers, or new bean bag chairs. I am hoping for a desk
this year
Beep! Beep! Nelli's dad was beeping to tell me she
was here, and I looked out the window. Haley was waving goodbye
to Nelli's dad, and Nelli was staying until 6:00 tonight
when her dad get's home from work. They came inside, and I
was still looking out my window when Nelli came in my room.
"Hey hey hey!" she said.
