1.New life
I got up earlier than normal. I had to start packing. I walked through the halls of the orphanage that I have called home for 13 years. As per the rules of the establishment once a child has turned 18 they would have to leave and make a life of their own.
It was my turn to continue this order but I was pleasantly surprised by how sad the nuns seemed to be. They told me that they wished I could stay but I had to start a life of my own.
"Meybell! "the head nun called out." Are you ready to go?"
"Yes I am sister Mary,"I answered. But the truth was I was scared. I didn't know where I would stay or what I would work as. As if she could read my mind sister Mary told me that they had already rented a flat on my behalf. That solved one problem.
I got into the car with all my belongings and prepared to leave. None of the other orphans seemed to notice that I was leaving. Either they didn't care about my absense or they were just hiding their emotions - most likely the former.
We arrived at the flat after an hour of driving . It was nice and simple and I figured maybe I would grow to like this place . The driver helped me unload my stuff then told me that they would check up on me every month for a few months .
My flat was at the top floor and that was much to my dislike. I had a bad fear of heights and so I would have to avoid the balcony. But the inside was cute . The wooden floors and doors were both white which apparently was my favourite colour. It was a studio but I was okay with anything at that point as long as I was on my own .
It was ready furnished so all I had to do was arrange my clothes in the closet.
My next task was to get a job so I would be able to save up and go to university next year. There were tons of cafes in the area but none had vacancies. But luckily for me there was a restaurant nearby that needed a new waitress. I went and applied for the job and was told I would be notified by the management by the next day.
I went back to my flat ando put on Netflix on the TV.
What a wonderful start to my life alone.
