Chapter 11
Amelia's POV

(Above is Carly)

Its been a few days since we got home from the cruise. I've talked to the crew maybe once or twice. I'm just trying to catch up with the missing school work I have. Its difficult. Not just the work but being around Annie and Austin. They've been more public than ever with their relationship. And I'm kinda upset. You try watching your ex-boyfriend with a slut--sorry I mean new girl. That was kinda your best friend.

I haven't talked to Gavin since the trip. I don't know why but it seems like he doesn't want to talk to me. Its like at first, we were good friends. Now after that day he hasn't even attempted to reach me. No text, call. I haven't even seen him around town.

I hate everything at this moment basically.

Right now especially.

So right now we are having a "family" dinner at a local Denny's. Denny's. I know right? Classy for a family that's rich. But guess who chose the place? Cameron. Of course he had to pick the weirdest place to have a "family" dinner. I mean, I bet this place isn't even sanitary. Don't get me wrong, I like their food and all but not their set up. You know what I mean? I don't even know anymore.

Today has been rough. It's close to the end of the school year so there is lots of exams to do. Its just sad to think that when the bell rings on the last day, I'll be an adult and a graduate. Its so amazing but scary at the same time. I'm nervous though. The wedding for my dad and Cameron's mom is this summer. And I'm the maid of honor or a bridesmaid or something like that. Speaking of Cameron, he has been acting very weird since we got back from the trip. It's like he's hiding something yet I'm not sure what it could be.

"Amelia, are you paying attention at all? Amelia?" I look up and see dad waving a hand in front of my face. I shake my head and apologize. He huffs and goes back to eating. Wait. When did we get our food? Oh well. I'm not that hungry anyways.

I push my food around my plate, not bothering to eat. I do a little bit though. Just my Mac & cheese and grapes. That's it. But today. Today is a big day for my parents. They were accepted to adopt a teen girl named Carly from Ireland. She is Irish, has red shoulder length hair, pale green eyes, and has a girly meets punk rock kind of style. We've seen a picture of her and she seems wonderful. I can tell her and Cameron are gonna get along well.

"So kids, as you may know, we are adopting a teen girl. She is 14 years old so she's younger than you by three years. And you also may know that we are heading off to Ireland to get Carly in a few days. Her last name will be changed to Spencer like ours. And she'll be sharing a room with you Amelia," Gina says. I drop my fork on my plate with a loud clang.

"What?! But we have a guest bedroom that she can sleep in!"

"I know but we need that bedroom for when family visits," dad buts in.

"But I don't have enough room in my bedroom to add another bed. Especially since I have a queen sized bed and a big vanity. Plus my bathroom still needs to be fixed!"

"We can fit another bed in there. Maybe not a queen sized bed but maybe a twin. Also I'll have Cameron fix the problem for you when we're gone. Won't you Cameron?" he looks up with a noodle hanging out of his mouth. I struggle holding back a laugh. He has this look on his face that says "what's happening" and "I'm pretty embarrassed." He spits it out.

"What?" I laugh. He is so clueless.

"You have to fix my bathroom. And put in a twin bed for Carly," I say.

"No! I'm not doing that. Amelia can do it herself. I mean it is her bathroom," I give him a dirty look. Not in a sexual way though. If you thought that, don't worry.
