Tori sat down by the back door of the orphanage. They were bullying him. Again.

He pulled his legs up to his chest, whimpering at the bruise on his side. A bruise from the beating he got last night.

They always found some reason to tease him. Because he was little, his curly blond hair, his big glasses or because he was unadoptable.

He had asked Miss Charlot what 'unadoptable' meant. "Oh, there is no such thing as an unadoptable child."She had said.

But he didn't say anything about and unadoptable child.

Tori burried his face in his knees, tears streaming down his face. He wanted out of here. He wanted his own room. He wanted someone to care about him. He wanted a family.

He's had people come to see him before. He would be on his best behavior. He would be polite. Miss Charlot told him to be his self. But he was already all those things anyway, wasn't he?

He would tell them how smart he was and how he liked to draw. He would talk about his hopes of being in a family.

They would smile at him, and he would smile too.

But he never went home with them.

What did they always say? Was it, He just wasn't right for them?

A quiet moan escaped his lips. He shivered as the wind blew. He didn't know why they didn't like him. He wasn't ugly. He wasn't sick.

He didn't want to see the couple that Miss Charlot had found. They would just get his hopes up, only to drive away without him.

That's why he was outside in the cold. He didn't want to see them. He didn't want Miss Charlot to find him.

He jumped when he heard the door open.

"Tori?" Miss Charlot's voice rang.

Tori looked up at her.

"C'mon, sweetheart, they're here."

Tori stood up sadly. His whole mind shut down when he walked inside. He didn't remember the interview. He remembered giving them a sweet, fake smile. He didn't think as the couple quickly said good bye and walked out. But he did remember watching them drive away.
