Chapter 1 I stare out the window and see the amazing streets of New York. “I wish I could get out of this horrible orphanage,”I think. “Olivia stop staring and start cleaning the floors.”Ms.Swalene says. I take the sponge and start scrubbing . Ms. Swalene is the person who runs the orphanage. She’s a mean and cold hearted person. She makes us do all of the work she’s supposed to do. Even clean her car.The sun is going down so we probably have to go eat dinner. The bell rang which means for us to go to the dining room. Today’s menu is a slice of bread with tomato soup. “Ewww! Tomato soup! Last time we had it ,all the kids were sick because the tomato was from two months ago!”an orphan named Ruby says. What Ruby is saying is true. No one told us the tomatoes were from two months ago we just assumed because we would get the same food for two days or even three days in a row to save the orphanage's money. Just even thinking about tomato soup makes my face crumble like I just ate lemon. The soup got put on the table. I grab only one slice of bread and run into the girl’s room. I stare out the window and tell myself…...I’m going to escape someday.
