"Janosauros Rex, get up it time for school!" Papa shakes me, clearly trying to wake me up. I hate to break it to him but that is not happening. "Dad made tea! If that makes anything better."
i mumble, covering my head with my pillow. "Get. Up. Your going to be late."
"I dont care! Let me sleep dear father!" I yell tiredly.
"Nope. Not happening." Papa pushes up his glasses and yanks off my covers, then proceeds to yank the pillow out of my hands. "See you downstairs in 10" and he walks out of my room.
I roll my eyes and get out of bed. I put on an orange sweater and jeans and brush my red hair. When im done i grab socks and walk downstairs. "Ah here she comes!" My dad's British accent rings through the hallway. I look up at our family photos, and stare at my favorite one. Little 5 year old me stands in between my dad's with the biggest smile on my face. My red hair is up in two pigtails, and i am wearing the cutest sundress.
"Janosaurossss, im gonna get you!" Papa is chasing me around the room, and when he finally grabs me he flips me upside down on his shoulders as i giggle.
"Winston! You're going to mess up her hair!" Dad calls out.
"It's only pigtails!" Papa replies, as he sets me down on a chair and tickles me.
"Daddy help!" I squeal. He walks over to me and smoothes out my hair. He picks me up as he asks "are we ready for a family photo?"
I sit at the counter and take a sip of tea "who's taking you to school today dear?" Dad asks.
"Theo and Orla." I reply, mouth half full with a biscuit.
"Who's picking you up? Because we obviously can if you want!" Papa adds.
"I think aunt Naz is picking us all up and just dropping us off at training. I'll meet you guys there yeah?" I say.
"Of course ju-" dad gets cut off by the sound of a car horn. I throw my shoes on as fast as i can and grab my bag. "Bye dads's! See you later!"
"Bye! Have a good day. We love you!" They reply.
Brendan and Winston adopted me when i was three. I immediately started to call Winston papa, and Brendon Dad. I don't remember anything about that, but i think all i wanted was a family. People to love me, and care for me; i wanted a home, and i got that. I love my dad's more than anything, and im so great full they adopted me. I cant picture my life with any other family.

Theo Warner is a year older than me. He's always been my best friend, so has his sister Orla. I have always been close with the Warner's. Im staring at him, watching him walk to his class. He's wearing an outfit far too nice to be worn at school, and it makes him look- im not going to lie; handsome, extremely handsome.
