"So, Evelynn, how was detention?" My brother asks, sending a smirk my way. I roll my eyes, slamming the door.
"It was fine, Joshua."
"It's Josh, dumbass."
"Yes, well you hate being called Joshua, right?"
"Extremely right."
"Then I'm calling you Joshua." I smile, before heading up to my room. I have three brothers and four sisters. Basically, it sucks. There's me, Josh and Jake, Maia, Blaire and Claire, Andrew, and Olivia. Jake and Josh are 16, Maia is 14, Blaire and Claire are 13, Andrew is 11, and Olivia is five. I, myself, am 17. I did have a twin sister, but my mother said she died in a car crash. Her name was Jaide.
I hear a small knock at my door and I tell them to come in. It's Olivia. "Hey, Liv. Come on in, baby girl," I say, patting the spot on the bed beside me. She jumps onto it. "Hey, Evie! I'm glad you're home." She gives me an adorable smile, hugging my arm. "Hey, where were you anyway?"
"Well, you see, somebody did something and I was around them at the time, so I got detention for their mistakes."
"Oh...Okay. I'm sorry, Evie. I know you're too good for detention."
"Awe, it's okay, Liv," I giggle, patting her soft blonde hair. She hugs me once more, before running towards Blaire and Claire's rooms. The only kids in this house who are actually related to our so called parents are Blaire and Claire. The rest were adopted, including me. Olivia has light blonde hair, blue eyes, tanned skin, and freckles. Her birth name was Olivia Grace Hurdes. Her parents died in a plane crash. I forget their names all the time, though....
Andrew has coal black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and dark skin. His birth name was Bryce Lee. He didn't have a middle name. His mother was a prostitute who'd forgotten to wear a condom and gave him up for adoption since she couldn't care for him.
Josh and Jake have dark red hair, hazel eyes, fair skin, and more freckles than Andrew has brains. Their real names are Joshua Adams and Jake Adams. They were born in the back of an ice cream truck, but the mother ran off, leaving the driver to put them up for adoption himself.
Maia has beautiful, bouncy black hair, forest green eyes, and fair skin. Her birth name was Maia Kara Neall. Her father was given the task of taking care of her, but he was a crack head who hardly fed her or even paid attention to her, for that matter. CPS was called on him and they allowed Rialle and Adam to adopt her.
As for me, I've light brown hair, light green eyes, and fair skin. My birth name was Riely Rose Hurley. My mother was a poor woman who couldn't afford much and one day, she left me on this couple's front doorstep with a note. The note read,
'Dear Family,
I've not a clue who you are, but I trust you can care for my poor daughter better than I ever could. I may come back for her one day and if I decide to do so, just remember my name is Marlie Hurley.
Thank You.
P.S.
Her name is Riely Rose.'
It was a simple note, but it meant a lot to me. So much, that I still have it to this day. They kept me and I decided to change my age when I turned nine. I got tired of not knowing who my real family was, so I wanted no connection with them at all.
Now to Blaire and Claire. They've got wavy, dark blonde hair, grey eyes, and fair skin. Their full names are Blaire Raine and Claire Rose. They're quite inseparable and are very popular, especially with the guys. They only date someone when they're sure the other one doesn't like him first, though.
So, as you can see, my family is pretty damn broken. It's quite sad at some points, but this is the greatest family I could ask for. Ever.

I pull out my laptop and go to the Google search bar. I type in my mother's name and see many pictures show up. Some look...frightening and then I see a woman who looks like me. I click the link and it takes me to a Facebook page labelled 'Marlie Reneé Hurley.' I scroll through her pictures, before finding one of me as a baby. The caption reads 'My daughter, Riely Rose.' Holy shit.....

TO BE CONTINUED
Hehe, sorry for the long wait, I've been busy/grounded. So the next few chapters will be an inside look on all of their inside lives and that's it. You'll get to know about their families and shit, because I feel like it, okay?
