                               CALLIE
It was December 20th and I just got out of juvie. Some girls decided to take a crack at my face and I probably looked like crap but whatever. "Callie this is Lena you'll be staying with her for a little while." Some social worker I'd never met before stated he seemed to be in a rush. "Where's Bill?" I looked at him confused but I was too late he was already walking away. Lena looked nice enough but I knew she wouldn't keep me. "Currently we have two other kids that we adopted." Lena was trying to make conversation with me but I didn't know what to say. The whole car ride "home" was silent.

It was December 20th I just got out of juvie some of the guys decided to take a crack at my face so I probably looked like crap but whatever "Hi Brandon I'm Jill I work with Bill this is Stef you'll be staying with her for a little while." A social worker I'd never seen before told me enthusiastically this was probably her first case. "Well I have to run but you two have fun!" She said almost skipping away. "Where's Bill." I yelled back but she didn't hear me. "Hi Brandon." Stef was wearing a cops uniform and she didn't seem too happy to see me the car ride "home" was filled with tension.
                              Lena
I hoped Stef wouldn't hate me for bringing home a new foster kid without asking especially one straight out of juvie. But it was almost Christmas. Callie needed a home.
                                Stef
I didn't want to take home a kid straight outta juvie. I have two kids at home I didn't need the stress. But when I heard that he was going to a group home I had to take him home at least for Christmas. "Lena I'm home," I walked into the kitchen waiting for Lena's reaction. Brandon was waiting in the living room. "Hi baby," Lena said nervously as she gave me a peck on the cheek.
                                Callie
The house was really nice I was so busy soaking in the new atmosphere that I didn't notice that someone was starting at me from the bottom of the stairs. I signaled him to come up. "You one of her kids?" I asked trying not to make eye contact with him. "No I'm a foster kid I just got here, what about you?" I looked up as soon as I heard him say he was a foster kid. "Same." I told him. "I'm Callie, and the reason my face is so hideous is because some girls at juvie got jealous." I stopped talking as soon as I realized I said to much. "I'm Brandon, I just got out of juvie too... By the way your not hideous." He said with a smirk.
