"I never really understood the word home, I never really knew which home I belonged to. I was orphaned at the age of three and since then, I've been moved from house to house, never sure of the one to call home"

Catalina was only three when she first came into cradled girls orphanage, she was young and tender. she was courageous and unique. she wasn't the best girl, for a fact, she was one of the least favourite girls to attend the orphanage so that would explain why she was always being brought back to the academy, for some reason nobody wanted her.

the first couple to adopt her where the Lee's, a newly wedded couple whose wife was barren. They returned her on the account that she was too lazy, she never got up from bed on time, brushed her teeth, nor did her homework. Catalina thought Mrs. Lee was the problem, she never told her when and how to brush her teeth, bath her on time, or assisted her with her homework. The woman was always on her phone and didn't seem ready for a child.

The second family was the Jonathan's who wanted a sister for their twin boys. They were sweet, joyous and Catalina thought she was never going back, but for the year Catalina caught chicken box, and they were scared for the health of their twins. so they'd pay for her treatment but she had to stay at the orphanage, and they'd come to visit her often, but soon they became fond of her friend and grew to love her better, so when the disease was gone they chose to adopt her instead of Catalina.

The next family, and by far her favourite, was a small Christian family, who just being converted, were looking for a sister for their fourteen year old Nathan. The family were so so nice and blissful towards her, so much that she begun to develop feelings for her foster brother, who in turn felt the same for her and when their parents got to figure out, they returned her back to the orphanage on the basis that she deserved something better.
