II
After playing everybody went for a bath. Then after went for dinner and bedtime after. I did not go to sleep immediately, I kept thinking what do i need to do to survive.
I started thinking (I can not depend on anybody else except for myself. I am still too young to start training hard. So i must first get accustomed to my body. They said that during young is when the body is most flexible so maybe I can start there. For that stretching exercise might help as not to put a strain on my body. I can also do some running for my stamina running a bit won't damage my body, then slowly going to free running. I think it will be useful to train in that as the fighters here are some what rigid, so i can have an advantage in in agility even if i can not compare to them in strength. Well that is all for now, let's go to sleep). I started to doze of after a few minutes maybe it's like this for having a body of a child.

Next morning i woke up around 4am same as yesterday. I went outside silently as not to wake anybody. I started doing stretching exercises then after i started jogging around the open space. As I see the sun start to rise i went back to my room after doing some cooling down exercises. I went to the bathroom and took a quick bath to remove the sweat on my body and waited for the time for the call of breakfast.
The same routine went for this day. After breakfast was chores, and after chores was class, and after class was lunch. After lunch was playtime for the kids. I wast thinking of what to do for my entire afternoon so it will not be wasted. An idea came to my mind. I approached the kids and asked them if they want to play a new game. As kids being curious of new things they gathered and asked was it about. I told them how to play the game, and the game was TAG. I realized I can do running and dodging in this game so we started playing the game. At first it was a bit easy to be caught because everybody is not yet used to it. We played for the entire afternoon, the kids where like full of energy.
As it was time for dinner, everybody stopped but still happy even though they were covered in sweat. We went for a bath then ate dinner. After dinner was bedtime.
Thinking to myself (This is the second day here and it seems this is going to be my routine for a while.) Maybe because of being tired i went to sleep immediately after thinking about that.

4 years passed.
Everything went smoothly for the whole 4 years. I got to learn that this place has has 12 months in a year, 4 weeks in a month and 7 days in a week. So it is 28 days only in a month which was shorter than before I went here. I also learned that there is constant war in different place good thing our city is not on the borders that is why I am safe for the time being. I continued my routine of waking up early to do my exercises. As time went by my flexibility and stamina increased. I also added free running to my routine. And i slowly became good at it. After that the next changes were during class, I practiced my writing, reading and speaking and by the end of 4 years I became really good. You might think that it should not be a big deal, I am telling you it is a big deal because there are not pen to use. Well there is a pen well that is what they call it but it is not a normal pen. During playtime we keep on playing tag. The kids got better but I had my extra running during morning so I became the fastest. When my speed increased so did my reaction so we changed the game of tag to a game where when your "it" when you tag the other kids instead of them being the "it" you and the previous "it" become a team and you keep on catching your prey until the last one is captured. I would always be the last one captured, and because of so many kids trying to get me I also improved on my dodging and reaction.
Also as the years went by, new kids came to the orphanage and other kids were also adopted. Either as a helper of the house or as a child for the adopting family. From the original kids that was with me on the 1st day everybody was gone. I was the only one left. And the reason is because of my height. I am only over 7 years old and the normal height should be around 120cm, but my height is already at 150cm. So that is why i was not an option because they thought i was already old.
But this was the day where someone took me in. And the one that took me in was a girl that was only a little bit taller than me. She came with her attendants and asked to look for kids for her to take in. So we were asked to line up so we can be observed so she can choose. And when she came in front of me she screamed.
????? screamed "WHY DO U HAVE A MAN IN THE LINE UP?!?!?!"
