Emerson's POV
We stand outside, me being impatient at the person who was supposed to pick us up , he or she was supposed to be here an hour ago . To top it off it was freezing cold so it was understandable why I was beyond mad. Gracie could easily catch a cold during this weather. I feel my phone vibrate through my pocket . Picking it from my back pocket , I look at my cracked screen to find a message from an unknown number
I'm here - look for a girl with short blond hair :)
I raise my head up searching for a girl with short blond hair , to find her smiling warmly at me as she waves in my direction
Quit optimistic, how could I possibly stay mad at that ?
We make my way to the girl and she pulls me into a bone crushing hug. She then squats at Gracie eye level smiling brightly
"Hi ..you must be Gracie Blue ...I'm Lillian Jones ."
Gracie hides behind me, she's always found it hard to trust anyone, especially when they were new.
Lilian then stands up smiling warming at me
"You must be Emerson .. I'm Lillian,"
Lillian's hair didn't touch her shoulders and it was slightly curly . She had bright blue eyes winged with eye liner making them pop out even more, her freckles scattered around her tiny noses, her bright lipstick bringing out her lips more . All in all she was beautiful . Standing next to her I felt so pain and Boring
"Sup" I reply
So lame Emerson ...sup is that all you got?
Her smile widens even more , she turns around walking to her fancy BMW , we follow her putting the suitcase into car ,making our ways to the back seat .
"Umm so we got everything ready for you to attend school. Your phone , iPad and laptop have already been set up. Annie sent your clothes and shoe sizes , so we bought your uniform and you'll be starting school on Monday with us... and as for Gracie she'll be attending the nursery which happens to be right next to our school . "
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me, you should thank mom."
"Mom?" I question confused
"Gabriella."
"Oh."
I was surprised that she called Gabriella mom
"You must be thinking why do I call her mom..well she's done so much for us . She's cool you know , she's not like the rest of them . She's kind, caring and loving . She's always there. Always listens to my problems and somehow always has a solution to them . She j-just changed my life and I'll forever be grateful ..when I first got here two years ago I didn't want to trust her , I shut her out completely because why would I trust someone I didn't know when I couldn't even trust my own fam- oh my ....you must be thinking why I talk so much I'm so sorry ..anyway are you a junior or senior ?"
In that moment I knew I envied Lillian, she was so easy going. She just opened up to me about how she felt on Gabriella..something I could never do .
"I'm a junior and how about you?"
"Ohh so you'll have Elijah , Jhumpha and Amani. You do know who they are right ?
"Um yes they were also adopted by Gabriella."
"Yes right ,and I'm a senior along with Christian."
"And Helius." She mutters softly with her cheeks turning bright red
***
We arrive to a community filled with large houses ... Lillian stops at an intercom and presses a button muttering a "I'm here mom"
