Margaret POV (yes they will change)
I am woken by someone shaking my shoulder. My eyes flutter open and I see Mrs. Roxy. She is the "orphanage director" (idk) if you will.
"Margaret, we have guests. I know that you don't care, but just wanted you to know, just in case. You slept through the speaker again. Do you want to stay up here?"
Mrs. Roxy is rather nice. I hear all of these stories of bitch care takers (seriously, what are they called?) where the orphans were beaten. I'm glad that I was put with Mrs. Roxy.
I nod my head and close my eyes. Hopefully I can go back to sleep.
"Okay. I'll be downstairs darling. Come if you need something."
I hear her footsteps leaving the room.Thomas POV
This whole adopting thing, was my idea. I guess I just wanted Dylan and Ki Hong to be more responsible. So I dragged them along so we could choose a girl to adopt. I wanted a girl around the age of twelve. That way, she can take care of herself if needed. But, that shouldn't happen.We pull up to Mrs. Roxy's Girls Orphanage.
"Boys! I've been expecting you! Come in come in! You were looking for a girl around the age of twelve correct?" I can only assume that the tall woman is Mrs. Roxy.
I smile. "That would be correct. Come on boys!"
The girls are lined up in the hall way. I guess that they were told to be super polite because when I said, "hello girls" the all spoke in unison.
Mrs. Roxy tells us that we can ask the girls questions and stuff and come back to her when we are ready.
I look over the girls. A lot of them are younger than what I would like. A lot are older too. I ask a few questions to some girls, but I am not finding anyone that I think we could handle.
"Mrs. Roxy? Are there anymore girls that are up for adoption? I don't really think anyone here, while as charming as they are, would fit what we are going for." I explain.
I swear I hear her sigh. "There is one girl. Margaret. She's upstairs, probably sleeping. She doesn't really have a hope for being adopted, but I think she would be perfect for the three of you. Please, follow me." She leads us upstairs and opens a door quietly.
Margaret POV
I hear foot steps enter my room. Our room. I share with the other girls.
"What's her name again?" A male voice says.
"Margaret." Mrs. Roxy answers. "I can wake her if you'd like. She should've been down."
"No, no. She looks so peaceful." Another male voice says. This one's British.
I stretch my arms out. "No need. I'm up." I say to no one.
I look at the three males in the room."Hi. I'm Margaret, as you know. Dylan, Thomas and Ki Hong right?" I've seen the Maze Runner.
Thomas smiles. "You'd be correct." He looks at Mrs. Roxy. "I like her. I think we are ready."
Wait. They want to adopt me??
"You want to adopt me? Surely there is a better girl for you. Why, you haven't really asked me questions. You don't even know me. I don't know why anyone would want to adopt-""No we are sure" Dylan interrupts me.
They don't know what they are getting themselves into.
Idk! I've been reading a lot of these, so I wanted to make one. Sorry for being inactive on my others. Woops!
