Cheerio! 

Let…Me…get…over…there…

Backstory stuff:

They all. Were. Orphaned. 

Setting:

Beatrice, Patrick, Calista, and Luis live at Northville orphanage. And it is about as bad as an orphanage can get. The building is split into two groups; one side for girls and one for boys. Each child is given one outfit, (a dress for girls and a shirt and pants for boys) One plate, one cup, one spoon or fork for the meal, (and unfortunately no, I didn’t miss the “s” on “meal”. They had one a day at noon. It was one of the two times all the children were together.) and one bed. Beatrice and Calista were bed-mates and so were Patrick and Luis. People didn’t come there much but where they did they usually went for the quiet, polite, obedient ones. So Calista really had a chance at adoption but of course that would mean leaving her family. So she always found a way to keep her from adoption. Until one day…
