Name's CB. I'm eleven and live in an orphanage. Have for five years. That's right, I don't got no parents. They both died in a train wreck when I was littler. I don't talk about it.
It's my birthday today and the only gift I got was this journal. Don't even know who sent it to me. That was a surprise, hearing the orphanage director call my name when the mail came. He had to call it twice. Course I wouldn't get any other gifts. got no living relatives I know of and everyone always seems to forget here......
Oh yeah, my gift came with a note that said:
CB,
Hope you can use this journal
Have a happy eleventh birthday.
It wasn't even signed.
Well, it's adoption day...
The orphanage has one once a month. Everyone makes a big deal about it. I don't see why. It's no different from any other day. Yet the orphanage director says we gotta be on our best behavior if we wanna get adopted. Heh...yeah right! I'll never get adopted cuz the director tells couples that are interested in me that I'm a problem. It's true! Honest! I happened to overhear him last month! Besides, I'm a 'boose....... Who'd really want a 'boose?.....
