Chapter 1 part 1: Happy Birthday Baby
"Dear family of this house,
I am sorry to do this but I can not take care of this child for a few years. Her name is Ora Anna Socorro. If I am not back in a few years then read the letter that is Inclosed in this one. I have another letter inclosed for her on her 18 birthday, give it to her on October 4 of 2013. I know you are a catholic family, that is why I choose you for my child. Take her to church ever week, but if you can not then have holy water by, and keep this cross on her neck around her at all times. Be safe. - a sad mother."
The baby was a beautiful girl who was staring at the family in the basket looking with curiosity. Her black hair had a hint of red in it. Also her eyes looked like swirled milk chocolate.
A few years later, Ora was 3 years old. She was staring out the window. She was alway staring out the window ever since she was read the letter from her mother. She was also told she was adopted.
"Jamie, where is my mother?" Ora asked.
"I don't know little baby, but she is coming." Jamie answered.
(Ora P.O.V)
The house was already buzzing around, I could hear it. God don't let me have a headache this early in the morning.
"Ora, get the hell out of bed!" Julie, Jamie's daughter, yelled.
"I'm getting there, don't yell so loud!" I shouted back.
"Shut up you two, I don't want to hear it. You are just lucky dad isn't in the house." Beck yelled. He was my best friend, where I can't say the same for his twin sister. Julie has always hated me, I really don't know why. Maybe it has to do with the reason I'm not truly part of the family or the fact her dad doesn't like me. Oh we'll Jamie and Beck like me, that is all that matters in the end.
After 10 minutes of doing the essentials I was ready and down stairs waiting on the brat and my best friend.
"Happy birthday, baby." Jamie said walking by and kissing my forehead. She was beautiful, her blonde hair cascaded down her back in curls doing wonders for her look. She was about 5'4 where my height was 5'7 easily and her body was of a super models unlike mine. Don't get me wrong I have a good body but I was to thin but not fat either. Her green eyes were always happy but looked tired. I guess her daughter and I weren't making things easy for her.
"Good morning Jamie, you look wonderful as always and thank you." I said smiling at her with gratitude.
She pushed my jagged red bangs out of my eyes, "I'm always amazed at how your hair is naturally two different colors. I heard you and Julie getting into it earlier. She will come around to you soon."
"With no disrespect, but you have been saying that for 18 years now. I don't think she will ever like me." I sighed. I have always tried to get Julie to like me but it seems impossible.
"Hey no looking sad, it's your birthday sweetheart," Beck said coming in for the living room. "By the way Happy 18th Birthday!" And with that he thrust a present into my hand. He was always a perfect person to be around. I ripped open the box and it was a beautiful white and silver jeweled watch. Did I mention we are rich, well they are.
My face lite up, "Thank you so much. I love it!" I said and hugged him.
"I saw you looking at it in the window about a week ago, just thought you could put it to good use." His phone rang interrupting the conversation we were having, I could tell it was his girlfriend because the phone was playing 1,2,3,4 by the plain White Tees. There is one thing that Julie and I can agree on is that Beck's girlfriend is a bitch. She only likes him because he is a lacrosse captain and rich.
Julie came in the kitchen with us and grabbed her bag heading out to the car without a word. This means the silent and constant bitching throughout that day. Fantastic.
As we arrived at the school my friends apart from Beck were sitting on the stairs with their laid back attitudes and dark or neon clothes. We are a mixed up bunch of teens. From goths to cheerleaders, it's really quite funny to look at.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORA!!!!!" They screamed at the top of their lungs when I was within 20 feet of them. Great the whole school knows, not like they would care thought.
"Ouch my ear drums! You guys are really loud!" I laughed and rubbed my ears. That comment got some snickers from some of them.
"Not as loud as Tara can be," Jack whispers and winked at Tara, making her cheeks flame.
"Eww I don't want to know that!!" I cringed. I like them but they are very perverted sometimes. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with a guy wanting sex from me, cause I would not give it to them. Only if we were married. I just about jumped when hands snaked their way around my waist. "What the hell!! Luke!"
He chuckled and smiled, well maybe I do have somebody that wants that but like I said he's not getting it. "Cupcake, happy birthday. I've been thinking of you all night."
"Creepy, look I like you but as a friend nothing more. I'm sorry." I told him while getting out of his grip
"Can't a guy try?" He asked.
He has been trying for more than a year now. Thankfully Casey and Jake came to my rescue.
"Sorry buddy but you are going to have to leave her alone or you will have to deal with me." Jake said while Casey had his arm around my shoulder.
"Fine but I like you Ora, don't forget it." Luke said and walked away. He really creeped me out, there is something more to him then I know.
The school day went by with no attention to me except of the occasional Happy Birthday saying. I was finally at home and stuffing my face with pizza and soda along with Beck. The movie Robin Hood: men in tights was playing and we were laughing a lot. This movie is really good.
"Hey Beck, Julie, and Ora come here," Travis, their dad, said from the kitchen. He was home early. We all went into the room and Travis looked defeated. "Ora I think it's time for you to have this letter."
