Is This Real?

Adopted!!!!

When I woke up, I did all the things I normally did in the orphanage where I had lived most of my life. I made my bed, got dressed, ate breakfast, and brushed my hair and teeth.

It's gonna be a long day, I thought. I bet I won't get adopted today. I never do.

Liliana Renée Jackson. Thirteen years old. Tall and skinny, with black hair and sea green eyes, with black skin. That was my looks. That was all that the orphanage would put out. Not my mood, not my personality, nothing else except my description.

That day, I sat in the orphanage waiting room, wishing for adoption.

When I spotted two adults, a man and a woman, I thought that they were there for one of my friends, like Annabeth.

But I was very surprised when the orphanage receptionist called my name and introduced me to the adults, Pat and Jen.

I gasped. "I know you! You're my favorite YouTubers!"

The one named Jen crouched down and said, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure! Jen's gamer tag is SuperGirlyGamer, and Pat's gamer tag is FuriousDestroyer," I said. "Jen runs a channel called GamingWithJen, and Pat has PopularMMOs ..." I trailed off, sensing eyes on me. I added, in a quieter voice, "I've been wanting to get out of here since I was three. My parents died in a plane crash. Nobody wanted me."

Pat looked at Jen. He said, "Well, we're here to get you out of here." His voice was calm, cool, and collected, like he'd been trained for this. "We want you."
