Once the police car pulls up to the orphanage, my anxiety levels are on high. "Here we are" The Police officer says. I finally decide to break the silence. "Am I going to another house?" I half expected him to say "Of course ya idiot! You are going to an Orphanage, what do you think they do there, teach you to bake?" But, he didn't. "Yes, you are, but don't worry, I know the orphanage will match you with the perfect family." "Alright"
When I walk into the orphanage, I know it will be nothing like my old life. There are a bunch of kids playing around, they are the ones probably around 4-8 years old, some kids kinda playing, the ones around 9-11, and the rest of the kids are standing around looking miserable. Wow. This is my life now. A tall woman in fancy clothes and a big brown bun on her head walks up to me. " Hello, my name is Mrs. Ren, and I will be of your servace today.You must be Brooklyn, we have been waiting all day for you. I am sorry about your parents, tragic accident." Does this sound anything like Delores Umbridge to you? "I will take you to your room, you will be bunking with one of our other girls your age, Natalie." I hope she is more up-and-about than the other kids I have seen my age.

When we get to my bunk, Mrs.Ren takes my bags and plops them on a bottom bunk. The top bunk i can see is lived in by someone, because there is stuff EVERYWHERE. I neatly put my things in drawers, and put my book on the night stand. "I see you like to read," Mrs. Ren says. " I do too, I can see you also like to be neat, and that will be very appropriate for this orphanage. Natalie is just finishing up dinner with the rest of the kids, and she will be here shortly. If you have any questions, call me on the phone on your stand. The number is written right beside it. Bye!" Then she slam's the door.

A couple minutes later, I hear A sharp knock on the door. It must be Natalie. I kindly say, "Come in!" And the door opens. I see a short, skinny girl with curly blonde hair down, blue eyes, and a welcoming smile. "Hi, I'm Natalie Bronwin, I looooove books, I am not good at keeping clean, I have been here most of my life, and I am soo happy too meet you!"
"Hi," I reply. "I am Brooklyn Kermit, and I love books too. I am okay at keeping tidy, and i just got here. Maybe I could help you keep clean?" "That would be awesome! I just met you, and I can already tell we are gonna be BFF's! All the other kids here my age are gothy, and like to be kept alone. I am so glad there is someone I here that is like me that is not 10 years old!" "Nice!" I reply. "So how did you get to come here?" "Well, my parents wanted a boy, and they got me, so they basically was hated my whole life, well, until I was 2, when they dropped me off here. And all I ever got was this necklace." She shows me a purple rose necklace with gold accents on it, just like mine! (Exept purple) "I have one like that too!" I say, showing her mine. "Wow! So how did you get to come here?" "Well, I was hearing these voices, you see, and I'm not exactly sure why, but I think they set off a bomb in my house and killed my family." "Dark." She replies. "are you sure your'e not goth?" And we laugh until lights out.

And that, Is how I met my future best freind, Natalie Bronwin.
