It's Just Me

Chapter 5

I sit in the front seat of a bright red car as Julia drives. She drops me off at the foster center with my bag of clothes from the hospital I have a huge grin across my face as I walk in and talk to a lady wearing a dull grey dress that is sitting at a desk with a computer.

"Zoey." I say. "Zoey Banks."

"You have been checked in." She says, her voice dull and scratchy.

I walk into the room she led me to. The room is bright pink with a rainbow painted on the wall. It looks like a fairy princess threw up in here, but that's ok. I decide to take a nap. I lay for a few minutes looking at the ceiling. I fall asleep right away, and as I do I think to myself,

       It is going to be a great day.

I wake up again. There is a digital clock on my new desk in the pink room. Maybe I can get this room repainted black.... I thought to myself. I get up out of the bed with bright blue, thick sheets and look around. I see a closet toward the corner of the room. I walk up to it, slowly. It looks like a pretty big closet. I open the tall white door and look around it for a while. Just like the closet I used to have at home. There are a couple pairs of shoes and no clothes. I see a pair of black heels. I like heels, but I look funny walking in them. I put them on and they seem to fit fine. I grab my suitcase and wheel it into the closet. I have to start hanging up my clothes. I put all of my black tank tops in one spot and put all of my sweaters in another. That's the thing about me:

    I always like to be a neat freak.

After I am done auctioning my clothes I look around some more. There is a lava lamp on the desk along with some books for writing in. I picked one up. I love to draw. Maybe that will make me feel better. I sit down on my bed, my two legs bent as I rest my book on top of them. I started to draw a heart with range wings and the most adorable face.

          I know that I am gonna like it here.
