The orphanage home.

It took minutes before the taxi arrived in front of the orphanage home, now, the building was a bit vast. It was a two storey building, and from the look of things, the inner part of it was gonna be spacious. James and the housemother came out of the taxi before the cabman sped off, the housemother paid him ahead of time.

The housemother glanced at James and said,

"Everyone is waiting for you inside, I told them that you've woken up from coma when I came to pick clothes for you. So get ready for hugs and kisses, they'll be so happy to see you. It's been two years".

James prepared himself after she made that statement, hope they won't kiss his skin off or hug him until they break his bones. Both of them began sauntering towards the door of the edifice, arriving at the door, the housemother opened it before they stepped feet into the main edifice. Entering the building, the next sound that echoed through James' ears was,

"HE IS HERE ALREADY".

Many of the kids in the orphanage home began running towards him, and just as the housemother told him, they began hugging him and showering kisses on his face. Like, they were so happy to see him, extremely happy. They couldn't get enough of him as they kept on kissing and hugging him. Then one of the girls in her early teens said,

"We really missed you, like, you've been lying on that hospital bed for the past two years. We visited you a lot".

James smiled and uttered, "I really appreciate that".

Then an 8 years old boy inquired of him, "Michael, how does it feel like being in a coma? Were you like in another world or something like that?".

Now, James doesn't know what it feels like being in a coma. But he knows what it feels like to die and transmigrate into the body of another person, yeah, he was experiencing that right now. But everyone knows that being in coma is like being in a vegetative state. It's just like being a dead person, you know absolutely nothing. And James knew that, he had been taught that a lot in school.

James caressed the little boy's hair and stated, "I wasn't in another world, I was just unconscious lying on that bed. Being in coma is like being a dead person, you know nothing...at all".

The boy nodded his head and said, "Ohhhh!".

All the housemothers and other workers of the orphanage home came to the spot where he was standing. The male workers hugged him while the female workers hugged and pecked him on his cheek.

"We really missed you, everyone was afraid if you would even make it out of the coma. In your two years of lying on that hospital bed, other workers have joined this orphanage, and lots of children that you know have been adopted. We're grateful that you made it out alive". One of the female workers stated.

James just smiled, then suddenly, two boys came to his front. Seeing the two boys, James recognized them immediately, they were Sam and Joshua. The boy's closest friends in the orphanage before the deadly disease struck him.

"Sam and Joshua". James said mildly.

"MiCHAEL!". The both of them screamed out joyously as they ran towards James and hugged him tightly.

James couldn't even hug them back 'cause they squeezed him in their embrace...they really missed him. They let go of him after embracing him to their satisfaction, then Sam rounded his arms around James' shoulders and said,

"We thought that you wouldn't make it out of the coma, we thought that you might die. But here you are once again looking healthy, we really missed you bro".

"That's the truth, we missed you bro". Joshua added.

Then one of the housemothers suggested something, "Shouldn't we celebrate this? shouldn't we celebrate him being alive?".

Most of them nodded their heads to it, they agreed with what the housemother just said. Then one of the workers in the orphanage voiced out, "Yeah, we should celebrate this".

"Then we have to begin cooking a special and nice delicacy that would go round, and also prepare drinks". Another housemother voiced out.

Immediately, the cooks in the orphanage dashed into the kitchen to prepare a nice delicacy for the celebrating of Michael coming back alive....actually, James coming back alive in Michael's body. The next thing James did was to go shower in one of the bathrooms in the edifice. After that, he, Sam, and Joshua sat down to discuss. They talked about a lot of things, how they had been faring since the ailment struck him.

Then Joshua noted something true, "You've really lost weight, but as time passes, you'll gain it back. What am I even saying, you're gaining it back already. You were paler than this when you entered, but now, you've added a little weight".

Sam just nodded his head in agreement. Meanwhile, James' thoughts had already drifted, he was thinking about if he was gonna stay in this place or not. According to Michael's memory, he had lots of fun in this place and he was happy being here though they were times when things were really hard for them. He shared happy moments with his two friends and with other kids before the ailment.

But from the look of things, James didn't have plans of staying here. Sincerely, he wasn't that comfortable being here. And also, he's got to revenge his mum and dad's death, and if possible, try achieving his dream of becoming an artiste. He can't achieve all those staying in this place, he's gotta move out of this place. At this point, he might have to forget everything about school.

The person's body he was in attended school here in the orphanage, all the minors were being taught here in the orphanage. But at this point, he has no plans of continuing with his studies before he died, and he has no plan of furthering the guy's studies here in the orphanage. The only school on his mind right now was music school.

Sam and Joshua noticed that his thoughts had wandered off, so Sam tapped him and asked,

"Michael, are you with us?".

"Yeah, am with you guys". James retorted.

Three of them talked for a while, and before anyone knew what was happening, the cooks were done cooking. They had prepared a special and delicious delicacy for everyone. The cooks were really doing their best 'cause cooking for the whole kids in the orphanage wasn't easy stuff. The workers do eat in the orphanage, but most of them had their various homes, they don't reside in the orphanage.

After preparing the meal, the cooks dished them out on different plates, it has to go round to everyone. And so it did, it was enough for everyone to eat to their satisfaction. Drinks had already being prepared, so everyone chose the drink best suitable for them. They ate as a family, as they ate, they laughed, gist, and told James some things that happened here in the orphanage while he was in coma.

After they were done eating and drinking, the cooks packed the whole plates. Then one of the housemothers took James to the room where he was gonna be sleeping, he was gonna be sharing it with three other teens. Before the coma, the real owner of the body, Michael, does share a room with two of his friends, Sam and Joshua.

After showing him his room, the housemother handed some clothes over to him. Not only that, she also gave him a toothbrush and some other stuff he'll need. Time passed, and before anyone knew what was happening, dusk arrived. It moved from afternoon to nighttime so quickly, the workers that needed to go home went home. Then the rest of the people in the orphanage ate dinner, the cooks prepared something light for dinner.

After dinner, the minors that were feeling sleepy went straight to bed. Many of the adults also went to sleep, the teens that James was gonna be sharing a room with also went straight to bed. After minutes of staying in the large dining room, James strolled over to the room also, but he had no plans of sleeping. He just sauntered over to the glass mirror in the room, stood in front of it, and stared at his reflection.

"The guy's got a handsome face, just need to add some more weight, and everything would be perfect", He said to himself, then he focused his gaze on one of the male teens sleeping soundly on his separate bed and uttered, "You guys are so comfortable here, but am not. Well, it's not your faults, you've been living here for long. As for me, I'm moving out now".

He wasn't joking when he said he was moving out now, he was being serious. This was the best time to move out 'cause everyone was sound asleep already, he wouldn't be able to move out tomorrow morning.
