Elle drummed her fingers against the table impatiently. She had finished her breakfast, and she really wanted to go to school. It'd be her first day, after all, and she doesn't know how horrible it is (;-P). Lily, one of the owners of the orphange, glared at her and she stopped.
Finally Lily got up. "Fine. Let's go, Elle." She got her coat and Elle raced past her and down the street.

Elle sat on the bench in front of the principal's office swinging her feet. She was going to school! Elle was very excited. She thought that maybe she could find good friends here because most of the kids in the orfinage were very young, compared to her.
As Elle waited, she heard a bell ring. Suddenly, all the doors in the hallway were bursting open and many kids were running out of them with happy faces. Elle could hear them saying things like "Yay! The weekend has finally come!" and "Do you want to come over my house a play my new video game?" Elle had never seen so many kids before. She was actually kinda scared.
When Lily, the nice young lady that works in the orfinage, came out of the principal's office, she had a look of success.
"You will be starting on Monday, Elle." She said brightly.
"I-I don't want to go..." said Elle slowly.
"Why not?" asked Lily.
"The kids here are scary...." said Elle looking at the happy children.
"Elle, there is nothing scary about these kids. They are just very happy. I don't think you know...or remember...any happy faces."
Elle tried to look back in time, in her last thoughts before she woke up in the orfinage. All she could remember was violent pressure and young girls screaming. Elle hated thinking about that so she went back to present time. She just wanted to find out who those girls were. Were they her friends? Or were they people who wanted Elle hurt? And when thinking about the pressure, made her feel the same pain.
Before she knew what was happening, they were back at the orfinage with all the yelling kids running about. Maybe the screams were just these kids while Elle was supposedly asleep? Elle walked up the old stairs and went into her room.
She had her own room. All the other rooms were loud and Elle could never get to sleep. They were also very hot. But in Elle's new room, she had her own bed that had a red blanket on it. Next to her bed was a small night stand with an alarm clock on it. Across the room was a three drawer dresser. On top of the dresser, she had a small lamp that lit up the room very well. That was all Elle had. She didn't own anything that she could call hers. Her room was also extremely small.
Elle sat on her bed and wondered if she would ever find her true purpose in life. Elle knew there had to some type of purpose she had because of a dream she once had. It was very confusing but she remembered the important thing she wanted to know.
In her dream, she was floating on a cloud with an ice blue leotard. A small lady that looked just like her but only a foot tall appeared in front of her. The only thing she could remember after that was the lady saying "You must complete your mission. Your friends will be looking for you..." Elle always tried to remember what happened next but she couldn't. She hadn't told anyone about her dream yet. She wasn't planing to, though. All she could think about was that small person and pain. Lots and lots of pain...
Finally Lily got up. "Fine. Let's go, Elle." She got her coat and Elle raced past her and down the street.
