Description
I had found myself in a small orphanage somewhere near upstate New York. There I would meet a girl at the Catholic school that I went to. "Our Lady of Mercy" or something it was called. It was nice..I honestly wouldn't have

minded staying there if she did.

Her name was Sunny. She had hair that was a beautiful strawberry blonde mess that made her envy green eyes pop. I would stare at her as she combed it out in the morning. I loved the way it fell over her shoulders when she was done. It framed her face. She looked almost sickly because of how fair her freckled completion was.
It was the first time I felt butterflies in my stomach...I wanted her, and I wanted her bad. One day I would become friends with her, I was determined.
I walked up to her in the hall that day after school and we began to chat. In my broken English I asked her if you know what the homework was for the night.
"No, I'm sorry! Maybe you could ask Brenda. She should be around here." She told me, pardoning herself from her friends. "What was your name again?" She inquired.
"Zeich." I said, smiling.
"Zeech?" She tilted her head.
I giggled. "No, it's Zeye-sh." I corrected her.
"Sorry!" She apologized again with a nervous chuckle.
She's so cute! I thought to myself with a smile.
"Are you doing anything for lunch?" She asked.
"Ah- yeah. Alex isn't here today." I said. You see, I usually spent my lunches with Alex, my roommate. She'd been sick from the awful weather that week. "Did you want to go down to the park and eat?"
"Sure, anything is good!" She said with a smile.
"Sounds good," I said. "I'll meet you at your room."
"Huh? Oh, alright. if you have to, it's a bit mes-"
"Sunny, let's go!" Her friend Clair called. "We need to get to today's bible lesson!" Mary shouted."
Sunny hesitated to leave. She looked down at the checkered floor. "I'll see you!" She said after she ran off to catch up with her friends, waving.

Several minutes before noon I asked asked the teacher if I could be excused early to check on Alex . "She's in the inferiority. Please mind yourself." She said, with a stern motherly voice. "I expect you to make up for lost time tomorrow." She tilted her head, looking over her bottle cap glasses.
I nodded in understanding. "I will, ma'am.""
"Be on your way, then."

In the inferiority I looked around for a moment. "My I help you?" On of the older nuns asked.
I jumped a bit, startled. "Oh, yes..I just came to see Alex. I want to know If she's doing any better.
"Alex...who?" She asked, looking at the check in board.
"Roster" I answered.
She scanned the list and said without looking back up, "I do believe she's back in her room, she was feeling much better and Ms. McLean had her go back." She looked at me. "You can go and check on her there during lunch hour." She smiled. I thanked her and left.
After I was about halfway down the hall way I began walking faster, then running. Slowing down when I saw a teacher passing. I took out my key and unlocked the room.
"Alex?" I said. "Alex, are you in here."
"..."
No answer. I looker over at her bed, she was sleeping. I rushed over to the table and wrote a note, telling her I would be going out to lunch and I'd be back o check on her later that day. Then some thing hit me. We'll run away... I turned red. I still don't know where the thought came from, but I'm glad. I stood up, reading the note. I crossed out the last sentence. I'll be back to check on you after lunch. I wrote new words... I'm going to be going out to lunch with Sunny today. If you need me, I'll be at the park. I left some ramen in the pantry for you, the lunchroom as nothing good today, the food will only make you sicker. I'll be back to check on you after lunch. I'm going to try and make it to New York City. I'll call you when I get there.
     Wish me luck.

I rushed to pack a few things. My brush, some soap, a bottle of water, and other things. My backpack was a little heavy, but nothing I couldn't handle.
I put the letter  under her pillow. "I'm so sorry," I said. "I can't stay here. I'll get nowhere. You understand..."
"I do." She said. I jump, startled. I didn't realize she was awake. "Just promise you'll write." She sat up. "I'll miss you, but I can't say I'm not mad." She said, Wither her cheeks puffed out."
"I promise." I said, laughing.
♫--♫--♫ The bell rang, announcing it was time for lunch.
I looked at Alex, shrugging. "I have to go.." I sounded unsure of myself.
She gave me a hug as I leaned down. "Bye-bye, meany." She laughed.
"Good-bye." I smiled.

I waited near Sunny's door. She came out a moment later with her hair up in a messy bun and a jacket on, hiding a few things like I had in my backpack. Without saying a word  we both knew what was going on.
We walked down several hallways, avoiding any attention, holding hands behind our backs. Walking quickly. Only looking at the door in front of us. Thinking about the tomorrow that is behind that door.
"Girls!" A nun said, peaking out of the door. She know something was up.
Me and Sunny turned around, I was frozen. "Yes, sister?" Sunny said in a sweet tone, hiding any hint of suspicious.
"Where do you think you ladys are going?" She said. "No one is allowed of the grounds without supervision.
"We're going to the park behind the school." Sunny said.
I was breathing heavily. I don't know how Sunny could keep her cool so well, but she did. She continued talking to the nun, her words only echoed loudly in my head, undesirable. I clutched Sunny's hand, Sliding one of my feet out of the opened door. I tugged on Sunny's hand once more, as I looked out to the road, tunnel vision...everything was turquoise and teal. She clenched my hand, almost ready to take off. I put pressure on her right foot with my left.
3...2...1!
I ran as far as I could, almost dragging Sunny behind me. I could hear yelling and other things, but ringing and echos just made it colorful. I didn't look back. We turned the corner, Sunny was catching her breath as we walked to the bus station down town.
