Chapter 20 - CHAPTER 20: Melinda

Vecer had been a little calmer about Viena leaving recently since he had finally just accepted his fate. His life would be filled with misery, and he would just have to push through it, to one day be adopted just like Viena. Maybe he would even be adopted by a rich family, and he could hunt Viena down. As Vecer walked through the hallways, loud laughs and screams erupted from every corner. Almost deafening him the whole way through, "I told you a million times that there are no exceptions," screamed a voice. They stopped, and for a second Vecer took a second to recognize the voice as feminine. Then the voice came ringing back in his ears, "leave me the f*ck alone, don't touch me!" the voice now screamed louder. Vecer turned around at this moment, for the voice had completely caught him off guard. And it seemed that everyone thought the same, for they had all stared back at the unsettling voice. All eyes on the now broken up couple, the guy seemed shaky and embarrassed at the situation that had unfolded. However, in contrast to the guy, the girl side eyed him and stormed off into the distance. Leaving the guy all by himself, all eyes on him, no explanation, and at that moment assumptions filled everyone up. Everyone including Vecer himself, 'had he been cheating, and still tried to be lovey dovey with her?' 'Had he tried to-' Vecers thoughts were interrupted when a loud scream erupted. There was another guy charging at the guy that had been broken up with, he held a long wooden stick in his hand. Charging at the guy, thinking that he had went against her will and forced the girl to keep dating him. "Damn guys your crazy! that girl is just literally so overdramatic I did nothing wrong!" The guy now ran into a room and locked it up his hands now shaking up even more. He stared down at the window, as a thought crossed his utterly despicable mind. 'I could just jump out, leave this place, leave her shelle never come running back for revenge anyway!' With that the guy truly jumping out the window, everyone stared at the girl. She was still storming off farther from the crowd, she appeared to be one of the newer orphans. But clearly, she had managed to gain a little popularity, but no one cared about that. They wanted to know what the guy had done; everyone didn't even know who the girl or the guy was. Vecer slowly tried to make himself through the crowd, as everyone moved in close to the door the guy had locked himself in. "Shit! I think he's gone!" screamed a high-pitched voice, "wait he really is gone we need to inform the counselor!" And with that last statement, panic arose among all, they were all running in the direction of the office. The office is where the counselor would usually stay most of the time. Vecer rushed into an empty room, while the rather loud "stampede" made their way through the hallway. 'Alright, um, let me go check out that room,' Vecer mused. He quietly made his way to the door, in which now was slightly broken due to the amount pressure putten on it. He opened the door with ease, which seemed surprising to him since the guy had clearly locked the door. But at that moment that didn't matter, right in front of Vecer was a window that was wide open. A letter was left behind on a table, Vecer picked it up to see what this guy could have written.

Hello to whoever manages to get this letter, if you are from the orphanage then you 

know what happened. But the thing is you all got it wrong, I was just talking to my 

 girl and I guess she got mad at something I said. Even though it was normal, I 

thought she was joking around so I just kept talking and I hugged her. And then as 

you know she started screaming like a psycho, and now everyone thinks I'm some

 kind of pervert or something.

-The framed guy

Vecer mouth dropped, not because he was shocked what the reason was behind the girl's actions. Why had the guy said everyone thinks he's a pervert? they just thought he was mistreating her. And this guy was now acting like the victim, and that just didn't sit right with Vecer. He needed to find the girl and see what was really going on.

Vecer followed close behind the girl, her fists tightened and her stomps loud and furious. He heard a few humphs and uhhhhs, but other than that she kept going, no destination she just kept on walking though the orphanage. 'Is she planning to escape the orphanage?' Vecer mused. But he was very confused why in the world she couldn't hear him, there was no other people around here. So, it would have been logical to turn around and perform a karate chop on him or pin him down. Still though she kept walking, more calmed down now she made her way to an empty room. She sat down on the spinning chair and plopped her head down. At that moment Vecer knew it was his cue to start talking, "hi," he uttered shyly. She now turned her head rapidly to the unknown voice, "why the heck are you following me creep, you like that other guy or just a loner huh?" Vecer walked up closer to the girl, "I may not have the right to know this, but if I do," he started. "What happened that sparked up the argument between you and that guy?" The girl sighed, "first of all my name is Melinda, second of all it wasn't just that, that made me blow up." She now held a slight smirk, "I don't think you would understand no offense, but he always flirts with other girls and always makes stupid comments." Vecer slightly chuckled, "so that was like the tipping point or something." Melinda grinned, "Exactly I swear he probably thinks that I got mad at him for just the comment he said to me right that second!" Vecer now sat down on one of the metal chairs, "you know he left a note saying otherwise," with that he pulled out the more but only waved it in the air. Melinda's gaze slightly fixed on the note, "keep it or throw it away, as long as I don't have to see it!" Right at that moment Vecer felt that a friendship had been created, he just couldn't declare it to her. But he had to, or else this would have all been for nothing and he would still be lonely with no friends. Vecer sighed, "um out of topic question but do you want to be friends? I mean I have no one else and It would be nice to have someone to talk to." Melinda smirked, "same I have no friends either, just entered the orphanage a week ago cuz my parents both died in a car accident." Vecer smiled, "well now were besties and you can't get rid of me!" that was a lie.
