Chapter 2

Tea stepped out into the hallway to go to her next class, but not before looking back to the guys that just talked to her.They had just came out of the classroom and stood a few feet away from her. It was the first time that anyone has ever talked to her without knowing about her past. Just from watching she noticed that the blond boy and the brunette boy were the goof balls of the group. She also saw two tri-colored hair boys and guessed that they were twins, but they weren't identical. The shorter one had an innocent wide eye look, but the taller one, the one that spoke to her had a more mature look. He said his name was Atem and guessed that he was the popular one in school the way every student greeted him, but if that was true, then why did he come and talk to her and not any of the more prettier girls. She did admit that he was very handsome.

'Ugh Tea what are you thinking?! You don't have time to be stargazing at a guy like him. I have to be careful around him. I can't let my guard down to anyone, not even him.' she thought and with that, she walked off to her next class.

It was now the end of Tea's first day and it wasn't all that great. She kept hearing people talking about her and she couldn't exactly concentrate. She stepped out of the school building and walked to her new house. She has been living with different families all her life since the incident that day so she never had a stable life like any other kid had. She never had real holidays, real birthdays and when ever there was any school plays or school events where parents come to see their children, she always felt left out because it would always remind her the two special people that were taken away from her by the person who she trusted and thought the he could do no wrong. She reached the house that she was forced to live in by the foster care agency and stepped through the door. She saw her foster mom in the kitchen making dinner. She never liked her and vise versa.She was on her way to her room when she was stopped by her.

"Dinner will be ready soon." she muttered.

"Yeah whatever, I don't think I'll eat anything tonight." Tea said coldly. Her foster mom the slammed the knife on the counter-top and turned her gaze to Tea.

"You know what, I am really getting sick of your attitude everyday with me young lady. You should be appreciating that I took you in from that foster home you were in."

"No one told you to bring me in. I knew it was all an act when you were showing you kindness and compassion to me. You were just in it for the money." What made Tea gasp was when the woman pushed against the wall with a knife to Tea's throat.

"Well maybe I should just take you back to that god forsaken place! Would that make you happy you ungrateful little brat?!"

"It'll be better than living here with you! I never wanted to go with you in the first place and maybe when the agency comes, I'll make sure they know that you attempted to kill me!"Tea spat coldly.

"Ha, you wouldn't dare. You won't even tell anyone about you screwed up life so how are you going to tell some about this? You are just bluffing." Tea's eyes widened when she said this and she could feel moisture in her eyes, but won't give her foster mom, no not mom, this woman the satisfaction to see her weak.

"Aw what's wrong, did I struck a cord?" she said in a baby voice. Tea then pushed her off of her and turned to go to her room.

"I'm going to my room and packing my stuff. You won't have to worry about me anymore after tonight and I won't have to come here anymore waisting my time and life dealing with you." Tea then went upstairs and started packing all of the clothes that she brought with her. She didn't have much, but it was enough to tie her over. When she finished packing, she made a call to the councilor she was seeing during her weekly visits.

"Hello, Ms. Naomi Donaldson speaking."

"Ms. Donaldson, it's Tea."

"Hello Tea, your appointment isn't until Wednesday. Is there something that you wanted to talk about? Or did it happen again?"

"Oh it happened alright and I'm ready to get out of this hellhole you call a home."

"Tea, this has been going on ever since you were small. Why can't you just give your foster mother a chance?"

"Well would you call someone who pushes you up against a wall an threatens you with a freakin' butcher knife a mom?" There was a silence on the other end of the phone when Tea wait for Ms. Donaldson to speak again.

"Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Whatever." Then Tea hung up the phone and stayed in her room until it was time to leave. Tea have been going through the same thing with these families when she became an orphan. No one was able to put up with her and she was never able to get close to them. I mean how can she when they starved her, beat her and now threaten her.She always wondered how the agencies always manage to overlook these things before they shipped her off to another house. Just then she heard a knock at the door. She grabbed her things and headed downstairs, but not before she heard talking.

"I'm glad you are hear, maybe you can talk some sense into that girl. I mean I try my hardest and give what she needs, but she always treat me like I am the bad guy" she said in a fake sad motherly voice.

"Why don't you also tell her about our little game with the knife?" Tea spat coldly.

"Oh, you ungrateful brat, I am so fed up with you!"

"Why don't I just take Tea and leave." Ms. Donaldson said calmly.

"Fine by me. I'm ready to get out of this place." Tea then walked out of the door and into the car.

"It'll be a day in hell when someone decides to adopt her." the foster parent said.

"Well why don't you talk about that with the officers. I'm sure they will love to hear it when they take you down the police station for attempted murder" said Ms. Donaldson. Then two officers came up to her and and put handcuffs behind her back.

"What no you can't do this to me!!" Ms. Donaldson drowned out the noise as she was walking to her car. She saw Tea sitting in the front seat with a glare on her face. Ms. Donaldson has been working on Tea's case since she was little and not once since she's known Tea has she ever seen her smile. She was hoping to find the right home for Tea that would provide her with a loving family and happy memories, but all Tea has seen and experienced was bad hardship and a dark past that to this day she doesn't even know about. That was why she would set weekly visits with Tea to talk with her, but all she would get out of Tea was cold glares and harsh words. Sometimes she wouldn't be able to get Tea to talk to her at all. She opened the car door and sat behind the wheel for a minute before she said anything. Ms. Donaldson sighed.

"You realize that I have to find another home for you right?" she asked.

"Pft, it's not my fault. Go and tell your sad story to the foster agency that makes me go to these people. I don't have anything to do with that." said Tea.

"We're not going to the foster agency tonight. I'm going to take you to my place for the night and we will go to my office tomorrow. I think we had enough excitement tonight."

"Yeah whatever, if you call that excitement." The car ride was silent after that as they drove to Ms. Donaldson's house. Once they reached her house, Tea went up to the room that she always stayed in whenever she came over. She opened the door and walked over to her bed. She sat down and looked through her bed and took out her special book. She always loved this royal blue book and she took it everywhere she went. This book holds the only things that belonged to her parents. Her pictures, journal entries, and she also has doodles inside too. She took out the last picture she had taken with her parents before the incident and thought about all of the times she had with them.

'Mom, Dad, I miss you guys so much. You have no idea what I'm going through without you.' she thought, but then another thought came to her. Another person who made her life the way it is if he had never came into her life.

'I will make you pay for what you put me through.'

Ms. Donaldson was downstairs in the living room making a very special phone call. She didn't know why she never thought of this in the first place and it would have probably saved Tea from alot of heartache. She just hope that he will be able to help her.

"Hello."

"Hello Mr. Solomon, it's Naomi."

"Oh my stars if it isn't little Naomi, well you're not so little anymore are you.

"Hehe no not anymore. I'm calling you because I was hoping you could help me with something very important."

"Is everything ok? You're not in some sort of trouble are you?"

"Well I'm not in trouble. Why don't I just tell the situation and give you the idea of what's going on. You see, I'm dealing with a 15-yr. old orphan girl and she has gone through a traumatic time in her life since she was five.

"Oh my the poor dear. Do you know what happened to her?"

"Well that's the thing. I am suppose to be her councilor and I don't even know what happened to her. Whenever we have our weekly appointments together, she would clamp up and never tell anyone what she experienced. She has been through foster home after foster home and when she goes to these foster homes, she's not even settled in for 2 weeks and I find out that they are abusing her. Please Mr. Solomon you are my last hope. I know this seems like such short notice, but I really don't want to put Tea through another ordeal again."

"It is no problem at all. I would be happy to take her in and we more than enough room for her. I'll just have to talk to my grandsons first, but I'm sure they will agree."

"Thank you Mr. Solomon. Tomorrow she has another session with me and I'll call you when we are on our way."

"You are very welcome dear. I can't wait to meet her."

"Bye Mr.Solomon."

"Good-bye dear." Ms. Donaldson then hung the phone and went upstairs to check on Tea. When she opened the door, she found that Tea was asleep on her bed, but when she looked closer she could see tears in her eyes so she guess she cried herself to sleep. She stepped out of the room and went straight for her bedroom.

'Don't worry Tea, you will have a happy stable life soon. I know that once you meet Mr. Solomon, you'll open up more and you'll learn to trust others around you'

Mr. Solomon Mutou put the phone back on the receiver and went to the living room to find his grandsons watching TV. Atem looked up and saw his grandfather sitting in his lounge chair.

"Who was on the phone Grandpa?" he asked.

"It was someone that I knew ever since she was a little girl. I haven't seen her in years. She called saying that she was having a little problem."

"Is she alright?" asked Yugi.

"Oh yes she's fine. Actually she's having a little problem with her patient. You see boys she is a councilor and she is dealing with a 15 yr old orphan girl. If it's alright with you she wanted me to take her in and maybe help her. What do you say?" Atem and Yugi looked at each other and turned back to their grandfather.

"Sure that'll be ok and she can hang out with us." said Atem.

"Yeah Grandpa, we'll make her feel welcomed." said Yugi.

"Thank-you boys. The councilor's name is Ms. Naomi Donaldson and she will come around tomorrow after she has her session."

"Okay" said Atem and Yugi. They both went back to watching TV, but only Atem wasn't into it. He had his mind on a certain brown haired blue eyed girl.

'I wish there was a way that I could talk to her outside of school. Then maybe she won't have to feel so lonely all of the time. Wow, I only met her today and I can't get her out of my mind. No other girl has made me feel this way before.'he thought. Little did he know that his wish was going to come true.

What do think of this chapter. This kinda explains a little about what Tea is going through. In later chapters, you'll find out more about her past. Please review. :D
