I was sitting out side looking out at the sun set. I was alone. Like usual. I don't have any friends around here and I'm kind of okay with that. My name is Lane Collins and I'm 15 years old. I live in an orphanage in New York. My parents were killed in a car crash when I was 2. I moved from orphanage to orphanage for years. This orphanage is one of the biggest orphanages there is, people from all over the U.S.A come to adopt kids. I just haven't been one of them. "Lane! It's time to come in and go to bed!" Mrs.Paul yelled, she is one of the teachers that help with the kids needs. "Okay!" I yelled back at her as I got up and walked towards the door. I went in the building and asked up the stairs and into the girls bedroom. "Ew. It's that emo kid." One of the girls whispered. I sighed and went over to my bed. I didn't even bother to change into something else to sleep in. As I was laying on my side facing the wall I heard the other girls laughing and whispering. "Yeah, I bet her parents killed themselves to get away from her." One of them said. "Yeah." The other girls agreed. I blinked my tears away so I didn't cry. "Lady's off to bed." Mrs.Paul said softly as she turned off the lights and closed the door. I heard the girls go off to their beds. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
"Lane? Laaaane." I felt someone shaking me. I opened my eyes and it was Mrs.Paul. "I have very good news." She said smiling. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, "What is it?" I asked. "Someone is here to adopt you!" She said clapping her hands. I practically jumped out of my bed. "Wait! Are you serious?" I asked "I am very serious. They are downstairs now!" Mrs.Paul said. "Uh I will get ready to see them. Can I get ready?" I asked "Of course. I be waiting downstairs for you." She said smiling and leaving the room. On her way out she closed the door and I started to dance and jump around. The day has finally came! Someone wants me to be their child! I'm so excited! I grabbed my black leggings, and my Twenty One Pilot shirt and I threw my hair into a messy ponytail. I went over to the mirror and put on a little bit of makeup. I put in my red vans and I smiled in the mirror. "Now listen Lane don't mess this up for yourself. Just be you and only you." I said. I walked out of the room and down the steps. I took a deep breath before I turned the corner to enter the living area. I turned the corner and saw Mrs.Paul and a young looking man sitting on the couch. When Mrs.Paul saw me she smiled and stood up. "This is Lane." Mrs.Pail smiled. The man stood up and smiled at me, "Hello." I said. "Hey. I'm Zach. I am going to be your new dad." He smiled. I couldn't hold it in any longer. A tear went down my cheek. "What's wrong Lane?" Mrs.Paul asked me as she put her hand on my back. "Nothing, I'm just so happy. I've been dreaming of this day." I said wiping away the tears. Zach or should I say dad smiled along with Mrs.Paul. "Now I just need you to sign this last paper then you can take her home." Mrs.Paul said. "Okay." My dad said. It feels weird saying "My dad" to a person I just met, but I kinda like it. My dad has bright blue eyes and short black hair and he is not tall but he is not short either. "Lane while your new dad is filling out this paper why don't you go gather your stuff." Mrs.Pail said. I walked out of the room and once I was sure I was out of sight I bolted up the stairs to get my stuff.
