Sent Back To The Orphanage

Synopsis

Mr. and Mrs. Carter took me out of the orphanage. Throughout the process, Mrs. Carter kept mentioning that she actually preferred another girl. The girl's name was Lily. She was outgoing and gifted. "Honey, I just can't get that kid's smile out of my head. Why don't we just go with Lily?" Mrs. Carter said. Mrs. Carter, feeling lost, looked to Mr. Carter for what to do. Mr. Carter smiled and said, "A kid that lively will get adopted in no time. Plus, someone that hyper would tire you out. This one's much more mellow." "Alright then," Mrs. Carter sighed. With a hesitant sigh from Mrs. Carter, they took me to their home. I stayed with the Carter family for six months, but Mrs. Carter just couldn't stop thinking about Lily. She talked it over with Mr. Carter and decided to send me back to the orphanage. "Sophie, I just can't forget the look of disappointment in Lily's eyes when she looked at me. You're such a good girl, you'll understand, won't you?" Mrs. Carter said, her voice soft and pleading. Yeah, I'd always been the good kid. So, the Carter family sent me back to the orphanage. Lily was all smiles, clinging to Mrs. Carter like she never wanted to let go. Her sweet smile could make anyone feel better. She gave me a smug look, and when no one was paying attention, she made a face at me. "Nobody wants a clown like you. Looks like you lost again," she whispered.
