Hi. I don't really have anything to say right now.
Well, other than thanks to all those who have left reviews.
Constructive criticism appreciated!
And also, I have trouble making the chapters very long. I also keep forgetting there are such things as line breaks. I expect the chapters will get longer once Percy shows up.
And now... On with the Story!
Two days later, Penny stood in the front hall of the orphanage, her luggage at her feet.
It had been agreed that she would be taken to her new home at the start of winter break.
Cassie and Lily sat on the steps, Lily attempting to comfort Cassie, her shirt half soaked with tears.
"It's all right, Cassie. She'll come visit us. And she promised to write. You know Penny. When she makes a promise, it's basically a swear."
Cassie simply wailed.
Over Cassie's crying, Lily asked Penny, "When did they say they're gonna pick you up?"
Penny shrugged. "I dunno."
They waited like that another fifteen minutes until the door opened and Sally Jackson came in.
Penny watched nervously as she talked with Madame Randolf for awhile before walking over to Penny.
It's time to go, Penny.
Penny simply stood in a daze until Cassie let out a particularly loud wail, bringing her back to reality.
Then she grinned, and picked up her bags.
"Then let's go!"
Sorry, that chapter was particularly short. It probably would've been longer if I could come up with any dialogue that wouldn't turn it into an extremely awkward situation.
Thanks for reading, and please review!
