I walked up to the front door of the orphanage, and pulled open the door. I saw a door marked 'Roger Ruvie, Orphanage Director", and knocked. "Come in." said a voice coming from the room. I took a deep breath. I don't do well talking to other people. I turned the handle, and pushed the door open.

Sitting in a chair behind a desk was an older man, who I suspected to be Mr. Roger. I closed the door behind me and walked up to the desk. "Please, have a seat." Roger said. "Thank you." I replied. I sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. The chair was very nice, I must say. "So, what can I do for you?" he asked.

"I am looking for my brother. His name is Nate River. He is 10 years old, and he looks like a boy version of me. I don't know a lot about him, because I haven't seen him in 8 years. All I know is that he lives here." I said. Roger eyed me carefully. "What is your name?" he asked. "Nerissa River." I answered. "How old are you?" he said, "Turned 12 last week, sir." I answered back. He asked me about 12 more questions, and then he asked a lady over the phone to please send Near to his office. We waited for 5 minutes, drinking the tea a girl had brought. There was a knock on the door, and Roger said, "Come in, Near."

The door swung open, and a bow with curly snow-white hair came in. He was wearing white pajamas, and it was 3 o'clock! He sat down in the chair next to me, and looked at me. "Hello." He said. I said hello to him, and we both looked at Roger. "Near, this is your older sister, Nerissa."
