Rock smiles as he looks into the mirror. That's his name, now. It's what he's told his freinds to call him. Just like an American hero in the Hollywood movies, ready to save the world.
He adjusts his hat. There, it looks absolutely splendid on him, never mind that it's bought second hand- He couldn't afford anything new. Not after saving up for so long to dye his hair blonde, just like an action hero. That's what he's going to be when he grows up, he's decided. Though, he needs a family, first. He'll just have to stand being an orphan until then.
The grown-ups who work at the orphanedge keep treating him like a very small child. He hates being asked "Do you know what that word means?" and being talked to like he's three years old. And when he's sad, nobody's going to comfort him sincerely. Somebody might pat his back or hug him, but nobody's going to try and make him feel all better. It's because he's an orphan and orphans are all the same to them, so it can't be helped, can it?
The young blonde makes a dash for the doorway after glancing out the window. His friends are out in the playground, waiting for him.
He's ten years old and the sun is shining today.
