The orphanage/Chapter2

The next day, Lucy arrives at the boys bedroom, opens the door and wakes up each child one by one.

Each child gets up and lines up in the bathroom to brush their teeth.

Lucy hands aiden a toothbrush and tells him to go brush them too.

Then the children change out of their pajamas and change into normal clothes.

Everyone goes straight to the dining room to wait for breakfast.

Aiden follows them and manages to notice how the girls are also leaving their room to go to the dining room.

When everyone is in the dining room they decide to sit together at a large table, they all stare at Aiden.

He gets a little nervous and lowers his head.

Mason suddenly tells him, we are bedfellows.

Aiden is left thinking about the words Mason said to him.

Then mason says: "I sleep on top of the bunk"

Aiden understands what he is saying and responds: "Oh, I understand now."

Mason smiles at him and Aiden notices that he looks more like a girl than a boy.

Aiden tells him fearfully: "Hey Mason, you have a very pretty face, you look like a girl."

The other children laugh at Mason.

Olivia responds to aiden: it seems true?

Noah also says: "we all tell him the same thing but he gets angry when we tell him"

Mason gets furious and hits Aiden lightly on the arm and says: "I'm not a girl, I'm stronger and faster than them, I also have short hair."

At that, melanie arrives with the lunch plates and says:

"Hey kids don't fight, it's time for you to have breakfast."

All the children eagerly await their lunch.

Aiden apologizes to Mason and says, "It wasn't my intention to bother you."

Mason looked annoyed, but replied: "I'll forget it just because you said I was handsome"

All the children finish eating and get ready to have their classes.

William tells Aiden that the first class is in the last room and that he should sit close to the boys, since they almost always compete against the girls to find out who is the smartest.

Aiden laughs a bit and says, "ok, I'd like to learn new things."

Before Aiden leaves, Morgan hands him a backpack with notebooks and books so he can study.

Aiden thanks him and runs off to class.

When aiden runs out he realizes that his backpack is very heavy because he carries all the books and notebooks of the school subjects.

So he comes to the classroom tired, in addition to being the last to arrive.

The boys reserved a place for him in the mere in front of the class next to Sofia, who also likes to sit in the front.
