"Okay so tell us a little more about your background." I wish I can avoid this. I take a deep breath.

"Well, I grew up at the adoption center. The end." I get up and start to walk away.

"Katie, we really want to get to know you." Jc says to me. I walk back to my spot on the couch. I look at each one of them and begin.

"I was brought to the center at the age of 5. My mom basically shoved me through the door and ran away. My dad, never heard of him or from him. I was adopted at the age of 6 but brought back the next day because I dropped a glass plate on the ground and it broke. The family hated me and sent me back. I was adopted again at 8 years old but sent back a week later because of my attitude. I was adopted at age 10, 11, and 13. Brought back for all of the same reasons. They blamed me for everything and my attitude was something they couldn't handle. I was beaten by the people who adopted me when I was 11. The people who adopted me when I was 13 just sexually abused me. I ran away and went back to the center that time." I take a deep breath, preparing myself to go on, but stop when I see all of the boys teary eyed. Connor is crying softly next to me with his head turned away.

I continued. "After I ran back to the adoption center when I was 13, Ms. Duece told me that she was gonna wait alittle longer before she put me back up on the table for adoption. She wanted to make sure I was stable enough and ready. In between those 5 times I was adopted I was brought into the room to be questioned but no one wanted me. I always wondered why until one couple blew up on me telling me I was a brat and that I was a loss cause. That was only a few months ago." I stopped realizing the boys were just getting more upset.

"Should I stop?" I asked the boys. They all shook their heads no.

"Alright. Well I discovered Youtube after the second couple brought me back. It kinda helped me and relieved me of my problems at times when I needed them to be relieved. Actually, O2l was the first channel I subscribed too." All of the boys shot their heads up and wiped their eyes.

I laughed and went on. "So....that's as much as I am willing to tell about that right now. So next question."

"How old are you?" Ricky asked.

"16." They all smiled and looked at each
other.

"So. Favorite drink?" Jc asked.

I looked down at my Arizona Tea shirt I still had on. Then looked back up at Jc. He smiled and high-fived me.

"Awwzemmmm duuude!!" He said which made me laugh.

"Relationship status." Trevor asked. Ricky hit him on the back of the head. Jc nudged his arm and Connor threw a pillow at him. I laughed.

"Single pringle." I replied with a smirk.

"Okay..I think we got the basics. WAIT..do you have any social media accounts?" Connor asked whipping out his phone.

"Yeah I have an account for just about every social media account there is." All the boys had their phones out.

"Twitter?"

"Katieswizzle101" My notifications went off saying I had 4 new followers.

"Instagram?"

"Katieswizzle" My notifications went off again saying 4 new people followed me.

"Facebook?" I looked at Ricky who asked.

"Seriously?"

"I was kidding who uses that anymore?" He said laughing.

"Tumblr?"

"Katieswizzle202" I had one new follower which was Connor.

"Alright I'm starving soooo.." I said hoping they were too.

"SAME SASS SAME!!" Trevor said.

"Taco Bell?" Jc asked.

"I thought you'd never ask!" I said jumping up. "But first I have to go change."

"Okay" They all replied.

I ran to my room and pulled my suitcase out. I grabbed neon pink high waisted shorts and a white tank top that said 'West is Best' on it in neon pink writing. I brushed my hair and put on my white snap back that said 'Los Angelos Dreamer' on it in pink writing. I strapped on my tan sandals and put on a layer of mascara. I ran out in 10 minutes and grabbed my phone.

"READY!!" I yelled throwing my hands up in the air. The boys laughed and we left the apartment.

We packed into the car and drove to Taco Bell. I ordered my usual two tacos with meat and cheese only and an Arizona. Yes they have Arizona at Taco Bell.

We sat in silence and ate. I ate my tacos and sat on my phone looking through my Instagram feed.

"Hey do you mind if I take a selfie with you guys?" I asked. They all looked at each other and started laughing.

"I'll take that as a yes." I replied laughing.

I climbed ouf of the booth and stood off to the side holding out my phone to take the selfie. We took a serious, funny, then downright STUPID picture before I put my phone up.

I sat back down and all the boys just stared at me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You aren't gonna post it?" Ricky asked looking offended.

"Oh yeah!" I said pulling my phone back out.

Twitter-
@Katieswizzle101- Lunch with the best.
I added the serious picture with the tweet then tagged the boys and sent the tweet.

Instagram-
Katieswizzle- We lookin' sexayyy!!
With the stupid picture attatched. I tagged the boys then posted it.

I set my phone down ignoring all of my notifications going off. Connor was typing on his phone, Jc was laughing at something on his phone, Ricky was smiling with his phone pointed at me, and Trevor was smiling down at his phone.

I picked up my phone and looked at the comments on my Twitter post.
