*Katrina's POV*

It's now quarter to ten. Only ten more minutes until the doors open and people can come in. I am sure that no-one will want to adopt me this time no-one has adopted me for 4 years. The last time someone did, they sent me back. They had gotten sick of having me around. I hear a muffled thump and a moan. I turn around and find Sophie on the floor wrapped in her duvet.  

I laugh and help her off the floor. "You okay Soph?" I ask her. She giggles and says

"Yeah." By then we are both on the ground laughing our heads off. We both stop when we hear the bell. It means its time to go downstairs and meet the people who might one day, be one of our parents. I pull Sophie off the floor and dust her clothes off and straighten my dress out. I grab her hand and we start to head downstairs.

*Eleanors POV*

We are here. At the orphanage. To pick out our new daughter. They are just opening the doors now. I grab Lou's hand and we happily walk inside with smiles on our faces. We greet the woman in charge of the orphanage, Jamie. She tells us that we are free to wander about but the children will be in the hall, waiting. I nod to Lou and we make our way to the hall after thanking Jamie.

We open the huge white doors and on the other side of them is a huge room with white peeling walls and a laminate floor. This must be the hall. And sure enough, there is children. They are all sat at individual tables so we can ask them some questions. Like the boys at a meet and greet except the signature part. Me and Louis split up and try to find a child to suit our needs. In the corner of the room sits a girl at a table. I don't think she wants to be noticed. But I do notice her. She looks around 16-17 and has brown hair.

She is beautiful. I decide to ask her some questions. I walk up to her and sit in the chair across from the table. She looks up at me in disbelief. Curiosity fills her chocolate brown eyes.  

"Hello" I say. "I'm Eleanor, and you are..." I sit there, hoping she would answer. She did.

"It's Katrina. But I prefer it if you call me Kat."

I smile at her with warmth in my eyes. The curious look has reappeared in her eyes. She asks me

"Why are you talking to me." I reply with

"Because you look like a nice girl and Me and my partner Louis are looking for a daughter. Just like you actually."

She then asks "But why would you want to adopt me?"

I scrunch my eyes in confusion and say to her, "Why wouldn't we?"  

"Because I'm useless. Nobody has adopted me for 4 years." 

"You are not useless. You are a beautiful young girl that still needs to live her her life with a lovely family that loves her and friends that that you bond well with."

"I will never found that family "

I smile and say "We'll see about that."

I then decide to move onto the basic questions like age, fave colour and likes/dislikes. I learnt that she is 17 , her favourite colour is baby blue and she likes Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, One direction and Little Mix. She also hates spiders, no matter if they are big or small. Our little talk lasts about 20 minutes. I grin at her and say "Well, I think that's enough for now. I will speak to you later."

She smiles at me but with sad eyes. "Bye" she murmurs.

I am grinning as I get out of the seat and find Louis, still walking around the orphanage. I tap him on the shoulder and say "I found the one..."
