Bye,Bye, Sweet friend
I
woke up to a very sunny
shiny day. I was at the
IEducational Evergreen Orphan
age. I got dressed in my maid
uniform and got ready to work. My
maid uniform was dark blue and
an apron which was white. Each
time Iworked hard to clean the
cafeteria I would earn 50 cents
and I want to save up that money
to get a plane to Minnesota. My
grandparents live there and I
would do anything to see them. I
got sent to this orphanage
because my parents died in a car
crash when I was two. Anyways, I
was heading up towards the
cafeteria when I saw Ivy, a good
friend of mine..
Ivy is my only friend. She is very
serious but I like her that way. We
both met in the cafeteria, I was
doing my cafeteria job and she
came up to me and helped me.
We were talking and laughing and
having fun, while we were
cleaning. That’s when we realized
we had so many things in
49
common, cleaning was one of them.them for
sure.
That’s
how
we
became
friends.
Anyways,back to what I was saying about seeing
Ivy, while I was going to the cafeteria. I said “
Hey Ivy”. She looked at me and smiled and then
frowned. “I need to tell you something,” Ivy said
uncomfortably. “ Okay?, Is it something
serious?,” I asked. I was worried. What could be
so serious that she didn’t even ask if I needed
help in the cafeteria? She always asked me that.
“ It’s something very serious” Ivy said.That made
my palms sweaty. “When are going to tell me the
serious thing?,”I asked “ When It’s the right
time,”She answered awkwardly. At that point my
knees were shaking. Ivy must have seen that
