Love Me As I Am

I'm an orphan, no home, no friends, never felt love before and I have never been loved. Although I have been told how beautiful I am when I walk on the streets, well, that was before now I am not really beautiful any more. I never knew my parents, don't even know if I have a family, maybe they dump me in a dustbin or they lost me, really I don't know. Been in the orphanage had been fun at first, but I was always mocked and bullied by other orphans and my mates. The first orphanage that took me in, left me behind when we went for our trips, it was a rich orphanage, the second one I ran away from there because of their ill treatment towards me and I couldn't take it. I just couldn't. That day, I slept in the streets with my luggage only to wake up in the night and find out my clothes had been stolen. Life had been unfair to me but I was happy they didn't take my novels cause I can't do without them, it calms me down. I us

Laura POV cont."Sorry, but I don't talk to brats." I said and looked away.This girl wants to start what she can't finish."She's gonna chicken out." The girl at her left laughed."She definitely looks like a chicken." The other girl said and they laughed until Rachael used her hands to stop them.It's like they are her minions or something.Whatever."Crazy right." Tammy whispered in my ears. It tickled."Stop." I laughed and the girls stared at me awkwardly."Look if you aren't gonna say anything meaningful and out." I said and walked out on her."Come back here." She screamed at my back."Whatever." I said and we walked to our room but by the help of Tammy cause am still funding my way in this place."I'm exhausted." I said as I jumped on my bed."Seriously, just that little work." Maddy said."Nope, just tired from something else." I said."Oh." She said and went back to her

The next day, I woke up unusually early. I was still shocked when I saw the girls asleep...And I silently prayed before walking into the bathroom.. Do you expect me to stay with brushing..I was finished with the bathroom, and I thought of having a shower which I did.. I don't want to use the bathtub due to the fear of slipping.I walked out of the bathroom with my pyjamas in my hand and a towel tied on my chest.."You're awake," Someone said and I jerked instantly"It's me don't be scared," She said and I turned only to see Madison."You scared the daylight out of me," I said as I breath a sigh of relief."Huh?" She asked. "Just forget it," I said and looked around and something caught my eye.. Or should I say someone."What is Rachael doing here," I asked."She's Miss Malika favourite doesn't mean that she won't sleep in her room and besides today is Sunday," She said."Oh," I said and move

"What do you want?" I asked with so much anxiety."Can we talk son?" He asked.I so hate it when he calls me son but doesn't treat me like one.."I am busy," I said."Please, let's talk in my study," He said."Be there in a minute," He added and walked away."Arhhh!" I groaned and jumped on my bed.What exactly does he want with me anyway.I reluctantly stood up and dragged myself to his office, study or whatever he calls it.I knocked softly even though, I am not in the gentle mood.Mr Howard opened the door and ushered me in, I sat down on the couch in his huge study and he..."I'm gonna make this quick," He inhaled deeply.What does he want to say now.. Talk already."I want you to get married," He stared at me and I stared back confused."I'll do that when I fall in love, not now," I said."I already choose someone for you," He said."Ooh, so you're gonna use me fo

♦Laura Pov♦After school we were back to the orphanage, and I gladly jumped on my bed after freshening up.. Today had being great except for English class. I really can't wait for tomorrow, it should just come already.. I suddenly heard screams and thought about checking what's happening but stopped when Maddy came into the room screaming.. "Okay what is it?" I asked. "Guess what," She said. "What?" We chorused. "I said guess, don't answer me," She feigned annoyance. "But I am still gonna tell u anyway," She added and we rolled our eyes. "Talk already," Tammy groaned. "Shhhh, patience is the key," She said and I shook my head. "Look what I've got in my hand," She shrieked waving her hand, and guess what was in it.. A phone.. She just worked me out for nothing.. "A phone," The girls jumped showering her with questions. "I am tired of this noise," I yelled. "Sorry," They
