Love Me As I Am novel Chapter 2

When we were seperated, I saw how bruised her face and I was glad inside me.

Suddenly, the door squeaked open and the strict lady walked in holding a long whip which made me shiver.

"So, you first day here leads to a fight." She said coldly.

"No, she st... "

"Not only that, but you bruised my Rachel's face." She said and Rachel smiled.

"She even threatened me." She said.

"What?" I gasped.

If you want a threat that's what your gonna have.

"We don't th.."

"You filthy brat, you took your swim in your pride before as much you wanted, but as I'm here that stops now. And don't you ever lay a hand on me again."

"Do you know who I am?" She asked.

Like if I care.

"Yeah a bitch." I said and I heard giggle from the girls.

"I am older than you, I'm 15 and-"

"Great! We are the same age, sharing an age with you brat isn't even en-" I didn't even complete my sentence before I received some whips at my back.

I was crying on Maddy's laps after being flogged and whipped.

"What's the name of that woman?"

"Her name is Mrs Rose." She said.

She looks nothing like a rose.

"But, of course, she doesn't act like a rose." She said.

"Donn't worry, the pain will go away, very soon." Christy said.

Her cute smile, made me hold my tongue.

"Thanks guys, I appreciate it." I said.

"Even though I hardly know you all."

For the a long time in a while, I had meet people who I think I could call friends.

Laura's POV

"Laura, I think you should get something to eat." Tammy complained.

I don't know how people I just met could be so worried about me.

"I'm fine." I said, rubbing my pained back.

"You don't look fine to me." She replied.

"Miss Malike would soon come and give us our chores." Maddy said.

"Guys, maybe something is wrong with Laura. She doesn't want to get up." Christy's voice rang in my ears, making me smile.

It was the first time someone had ever been scared or worried about me.

"I'm okay, Christy." With a pained expression, I stood up. "Look, I am fine."

"Today is Saturday and each Saturday's, we do orphanage chores, after that we take our bath." Maddy explained.

"You should go and brush your teeth, I told Christy to wake you but she didn't." Tammy sent the little girl a glare.

"I didn't want to trouble her. She needs a goof rest." Christy shrugged, and made me think what kind of girl she was.

She was surely smarter than her age.
