I was waiting one day for my parents to pick me up from school. I waited and waited. An hour passed, still not here? It was strange that my parents were this late. They're never this late. That's when the office manager called me over to tell me my parents were found dead in their car after getting in an accident. I couldn't believe it, my life was ruined.

My parents died in a car crash when I was 12. I lost them both immediately after the crash. I was sent to an orphanage and no one adopted me. I lived in this orphanage for 3 years of my life. It was terrible. Living in the same hell for 3 years. But it was soon to change one day.

I was not one of those typical girls. I was into rock bands like P!ATD, MCR, Tøp, FOB....bands like that, ya know? I liked dressing in white and black. I was socially awkward. But other then that I was normal, heh. You can tell I was a little girly though.

"Elana! Elana!" Screamed Ms.Ranae waking me up. "WHAT?!" I screamed in her face, "OH! Uh, sorry Ms.Ranae" I quickly got up and apologized for screaming in the face of the women whom owned the place I lived in. "Hm, it's okay. Just get ready. You have to go meet some people in a while!" She smiled and calmly said. "Okay" She left and I looked at my outfit choices. Hmmmm..... I slid on a white tank top, black high wasted shorts, a nice black silk cardigan, and black ankle boots with golden buckles on the sides and zippers. I had my hair straightened. I'm missing something. I put a flower crown on and smiled at myself in the mirror. I headed down the hall into the line for meeting the couples.

I saw people walking out of the room with tears on their cheeks. Are those good tears? I questioned myself as I looked at the line getting shorter and me approaching the front. I smiled with joy, hoping it'll be my turn soon. My smile faded Leann, Jordan, and Rosie. The most popular orphans here. "Hahahah" They all laughed. "You really think you're gonna get adopted?" Leann taunted. "No one over 13 EVER gets adopted" Rosie grinned. "ALL OF YOU ARE 15 AS WELL!" I shouted angrily. "At least we have a chance" Jordan mumbled. Jordan was my first friend in the orphanage since I got here. Leann and Rosie have been in the orphanage longer an Jordan and I have. Leann apparently saw "potential"? in Jordan and turned her into one of them. Jordan and I are like twins, we both have so much in common. But I didn't have as much attitude. "ELANA!" I stopped starring of into space and looked at Ms.Ranae. "Hm? OH! Hello Ms.Ranae" "Elana! Go! You're next!" "Hm? OH! Got you!" I headed into the room. My mouth dropped the moment I laid eyes on them. ADAM?! ALESA?! OMG! I started to tear up but I stopped myself. I quickly sat down across from them. "Hello" Adam said to me, placing his hand in front of me. "Hi, Adam!" I said, grabbing his hand and shaking it. "Oh, so you watch my videos?" "Everyday!" I exclaimed. "Nice to know!" Adam responded. I looked over at Alesa and smiled, "Hai Alesa!" I smiled brightly. "Hello!" Alesa Exclaimed. I heard Alesa mumble to Adam, "I like this one!" Adam mumbled back "Me too!"

We talked for a while until my time was up. I headed into the lounge and sat down next to Jordan. We didn't hate each other, we just had to do what was best I guess. "Hey" I mumbled to her. "Sh!" She whispered back. "Oops, sorry" I whispered. "How'd it go?" She asked. "Great!" I whispered. "Well, lucky you. I had no chance" "It'll be okay!" I mumbled kindly.

When are they going to call someone?
