"Here on the wall read the schedule of daily regime," he said and left.
Matilda stared out the window for a long time and did not understand what was happening and why she could not live alone at home. And then she wanted to go out into the garden to the street. She got up, straightened her dress and started to look for a way out.
"Stand! Not move!" Matilda heard, passing by the open door of one of the offices. She stopped. A teacher of physical education came out of the door.
"Where do you go?" he asked.
"I wanted to take a walk in the garden."
"Not allowed. Go back to room," the teacher commanded.
Matilda had no choice but to return to the bedroom. She had habit to obey teachers and treat them respectfully from times of school. Towards evening, girls and boys began to return to the orphanage. They were all from the older group and had the opportunity to leave the orphanage and go to work. Everyone tried to get back on time for supper.
"Rookie!" The girls returned from work were glad.
"Yesterday we have been told they will to lead an excellent pupil of school. So are you really an excellent pupil of school?"
"Yes," Matilda answered.
"Is it means you are cleverest?" asked one of the girls who chewed chewing gum.
Matilda did not know what to answer, and looked at her coevals around her with perplexity.
"You're in addition a quiet pigling!" another girl said.
"We no need rat-snitch here. If anything not wrong, you'll fly straight out the window," the girl with the chewing gum continued, and then she inflate a bubble out.
On the other side of the room Matilda heard an indecent exclamation, which continued with the words, "What the hell! Newcomer will be sleeping here?"
Then from there to Matilda came a girl in tight jeans and with a small ring, threaded through the lower lip on the left side. The left side of her nose had also inserted some small metallic shiny object, similar to a tetrahedron.
"What stared?" said the ringed one, "did you not find another place? Do not you piss at night?"
"Girls, why are you so angry?" Matilda asked, "I did not anything to you."
Matilda was shocked by the behavior of her coevals and did not even know how to talk to them. The position was saved by the physical education teacher who entered the room.
