I never thought I would get adopted. I thought I would always live in foster care here in the big apple, like I have since I was two. I grab my iPod and put my ear buds in. I mean it's not like I'm not a bad child and don't like families or anything, because I do, I love them. I put my iPod on shuffle and lean against the wall. It might have to do with the fact that no one knows much about my background. That I am a teenager now just makes things worse. People think I will cause problems and I don't know why. I'm nice, caring, helpful, and I don't hate anybody or anything. I don't have any bad records or anything like that. Oh well. I wonder what they are like...do they have kids or do they have none, do they have a big family or a small family, are they vegans? I wonder why they want to adopt me...I guess I will ask them. I hear someone walk in and sit on my bed. I take out my ear buds and look over to see Cameron.
"Yo, Scar...heard you leaving tomorrow. Is that true?" Cameron asks me. I nod my head yes.
"They are suppose to have someone pick me up tomorrow afternoon at the airport. I was told I have a long flight ahead of me." I tell my best friend.
"I wonder where you are headed..." He trails off, lost in thought.
"Me too, Cam, me too." Is all I say. He suddenly sits up straight like a light bulb went off.
"Maybe you are going to move to a small town in the south, where everyone will make fun of your northern accent. Or maybe they will greet you with their good ole southern hospitality." He tries to mimic a southern accent on that last part, and fails miserably, making me laugh so hard. He just pouts at me, which makes me laugh harder. Man I'm going to miss him, I think to myself. That thought made me stop laughing. Cameron looks at me.
"Are you okay, Scar?" He asks, concern lacing his voice. Hearing his nickname for me just makes it worse. I feel the tears form in my eyes as the feeling hits me hard. I may never see Cam again. That makes me start to sob. Cameron just held me in his arms and lets me cry.
"Shh...everything will be okay..." He says while rubbing my back.
"No, its not." I mumble into his shirt.
"What do you mean?" He asks me, confused.
"I mean, I may never see my best friend ever again." I tell him.
