The next day, I was expected to come downstairs and socialise with the other children who were waiting to be adopted. I didn't particularly want to as I still had a blue face, brown scabby lips and black eyes but Mrs Hardey forced me to.
The adoption house was fairly large, Mrs Hardey had told me that there were fourteen other children living here at the moment but they were expecting a few more within the next week. I made my way down the stairs cautiously, wondering what the other children would think of me. I mean, I was quite ugly beforehand but now I'm hideous.
"Morning," I say quietly and everybody in the room turns round to face me.
"Morning Daisy!" Mrs Hardey says, gesturing for me to sit down at the long table.
"What would you like for breakfast?"
"Um, just some cereal please." I look around the table to find everyone staring at me. Only eight of them were downstairs at the moment, the majority of them girls.
"What happened to your face?" One girl asks.
"Now, now Kayla don't be asking personal questions like that." Mrs Hardey says as she hands me my cereal.
She hangs her head, looking embarrassed.
"So, Daisy, this is Oliver, Kayla, Danielle, Louise, James, Jasmine, Rebecca and Rosie."
They all nod at me and tell me about themselves. I learn that Oliver is very shy, enjoys reading and is 10. he goes to the local primary school but will start secondary school this September. Kayla, on the other hand, is loud and confident, good at art and is 13 like me. Danielle is also 13 but prefers to be called Dani and is obsessed with bands like 5SOS. I nodded politely at this part, too embarrassed to admit that I have absolutely no idea who they are. Louise is Dani's best friend, she's 14 and is very clever, excelling in maths and science. James is also clever but doesn't try hard enough. He's 16 and has been living here since he was 4. Jasmine, Rebecca and Rosie are best friends and are obsessed with YouTube, again I was too embarrassed to ask what that was. They like this person called Zalfie, whoever that is. Jasmine and Rosie are 15 whereas Rebecca is 14.
I then had to tell them about myself.
"I'm 13, I've never had the chance to have a hobby as such erm, I have two brothers and a sister" I say awkwardly, unsure of what else to say.
They smile awkwardly then turn back to their own conversations whilst I finish eating my cereal in silence.
