My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 16



Chapter 16

"So this is your town," I said after I swallowed the food. He smiled.

"It's your town now too, Cupcake," he said. My smile dropped and I sighed. Elias only laughed before

he took another bite of his burger.

"I don't even know why I still try," I muttered to myself before I finished the rest of my food in quietly as

Elias went on and on about the town and the people in it. It was really interesting watching him get

excited about what he was talking about. It made me smile. I could tell that he really cared about this

town and it's people. After we finished eating, we continued our tour to the high school, middle school,

and the elementary school. I lingered in the elementary school a bit before we walked to a building near

the school. It was quiet and looked quite homey.

"Eli, where are we?" I asked. His smile was tight, and he looked uncomfortable.

"I personally don't like being here, but I have a feeling you would love it," he said. We walked inside to

be met with a reception area. A moment later, a middle-aged woman rushed to the desk. Her ivory skin

was flushed pink. She had high cheekbones and small almond shaped light brown eyes. Her black hair

was pulled into a loose bun on the top of her head.

"Mr. Madsen, it's an honor to have you here. What can I help you with today?" she asked in a rush.

"Nova here loves doing this kind of stuff. I'll be back in a few hours to pick her up," he said. I turned to

him confused.

"Wait, you're leaving me?" I asked confused and slightly hurt by the thought.

"Yes, but only for a little bit. You'll love it and I have some work to do," he explained. I couldn't explain it,

but I didn't want to be apart from him and I hated that.

"Only a few hours?"" I asked for confirmation. He chuckled with a sense of arrogance and took my

hand in his.

"Only a few hours, Cupcake," he said. I rolled my eyes and pulled my hand out of his. A look of pain

crossed his features but only for a brief second. He sighed and looked at the floor for a moment. "Have

fun," he muttered before he left. I knew I hurt his feelings but from what? Pulling away from him? I Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

sighed and just let it go. I would never understand Elias and I didn't expect that to change any time

soon. The woman bowed her head slightly in a nervous manner. I held my hand out to her instead.

"My name is Nova," I introduced myself with a smile. She looked at me in wonder before she hesitantly

shook my hand.

"I'm Y-Yana," she introduced herself.

"That's such a pretty name, Yana. So, where are we exactly? What is this building?" I asked.

"It's the town's orphanage," she answered easily. "And you're timing is perfect. I could use some help,

the little ones are about to wake up from their nap," she said. I felt my heart break a little.
