You were raised in a strict orphanage in England. All the unwanted boys and girls who were either abandoned by their parents or got taken in grew up there since they were just a baby. It's heartbreaking, but that's just how the world is. Cruel and unjust.
However, that doesn't stop you from being a little bit hopeful and spontaneous which is what the world needs. Simon, a boy from the orphanage is far different from you. He perceives people and the world in a negative light and is always pragmatic. A polar opposite between two best friends.
Both of you had a fair share of hardships and struggles, despite being under the protection of the orphanage. The endless chores, small meals, heavy punishments for the smallest of mistakes; such as forgetting chores and staying up past bedtime.
