Rue sat alone on the top bunk of the Jolly Little Angels Orphanage. This is where she has live ever since her mother died, 7 years before. She hated it there.
"RUE! People are here! They want a little girl!" Lacy, a 6 year old that befriended Rue, yelled.
"You know that they`ll never adopt me. You know what`s wrong with me. " Rue groaned.
"Oh," Lacy sighed. "Well, I heard them talking to Ms. Hunyan and they wanted to see you. She wouldn`t let them. She told them you were sick."
Rue rolled her eyes. Ms. Hunyan was determined on keeping her there.
"Rue, I`m gonna go talk to them. Maybe they`ll adopt me." Lacy smiled and ran off.
Rue smiled at Lacy`s enthusiasm. LAcy had always wanted to be adopted. It was surprising that she hadn`t yet. Lacy was that perfect child everyone wanted. Blond hair, blue eyes, happy. Much unlike Rue who was almost a complete opposite. Dark red hair that was almost black, short, grey eyes.
"Hello?" A women`s voice came.
Rue looked at the door way and saw a couple walking in. "Hi!" The women said.
"Um, hi." Rue blushed.
"She looks JUST like Angel" The women said to the man beside her.
The man just nodded.
"Are you sick?" The women asked.
Rue shook her head.
"So that pumpkin-woman that runs this place is liar." The woman smiled.
Rue tried not laugh. " I`m Ruelie. Please don`t call me that though. Rue for short."
"I`m Mimi, that`s Roger. " Mimi smiled.
"HI!" Rue smiled and waved, trying to hide how she died a little inside, knowing that they would never pick her. She liked these people, even though Roger wouldn`t talk.
"So, How do you like it here?" Mimi looked around.
"Oh, it`s WONDERFUL," Rue rolled her eyes.
Mimi laughed. "Do you want to come with us?"
Rue`s jaw dropped. "SERIOUSLY?"
Mimi laughed. "Yep, we don`t have much, but we have a hell of a lot more than here." Mimi eyed the dirty, bed sheet that was covered in moth holes.
Rue jumped off her bed and hugged Mimi.
"Get your things together, we`ll go fill out the paper work" Mimi smiled down at Rue.
Rue smiled and ran to go get her shoes.
