Alexandra

Meet the washingtons

I walk up to the large house with my small suitcase in hand and knock on the door.

"Hello!" A deep but kind voice cheers as the door slams open knocking my small body over and causing me to fall flat on my butt. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! So you must be Alex! I'm your new foster dad George Washington!" The man sped out leaning down and grabbing my suitcase while helping me up. "LAFFY GET DOWN HERE AND HELP YOUR NEW FOSTER SISTER WITH HER BAGS!!!!"

A young girl about sixteen came running down the stairs. Once she got down she grabbed my suitcase from the man, mr Washington. "Hé donc vous devez être alex im lafayette je doute que tu parles français mais je ne suis encore va tester pour voir si vous le faites." The girl smiles and mr Washington rolls his eyes.

"en fait, je parle français. son très agréable de vous rencontrer lafayette. Tu es très jolie et vous semblez très agréable. Je suis impatient de vous connaître." I smile sweetly looking at her as her grin grows larger.

"I LIKE HER FATHER!" Lafayette cheers and I giggle.

"Good. Now show her to her room so she can settle in." He laughs walking back to a office kind of room.

"So you can just call me Laffy" Lafayette informed as we walked up the large staircase and she showed me to a large bedroom.

"Yeah... Mom took it upon herself to decorate the room for you when she learned your age and gender..." Laffy said with a chuckle.

"Th-this is my room?" I asked shyly and shocked.

"Of course!" Laffy smiled at me as I stared at the room in shock. "Well I'll leave you to get settled in I'm right next door and the bathroom is right across the hall call me if you need anything!" She cheered as she ran to her own room.

I sat down on the bed staring at my surroundings. There was a desk and shelves which was really all I needed I don't tend to use a bed very often but it's a comfortable bed which is good this whole room is just amazing though. I unload my bit of clothes then set up my desk and immediately start writing.

"Alex? Dinner is ready." Laffy poked her head through my door.

"I'm not hungry." I say not looking away from my writing.

"I wasn't asking." I sigh and get up and she leads me to the dining room table.

"you must be Alexandra!" A woman cheered as she hugged me tightly.

"Martha leave the poor girl alone you're smothering her!" Mr Washington laughed.

"I am just excited to meet her finally!" The woman snapped letting go of me and placing her hands on my shoulders leaning down to my height. "Do you like your room?!" She asked hopefully.

"Y-yes." I answered shyly.

"Mom let the child sit down and eat she doesn't even know who you are!" Laffy exclaimed.

"Oh my! You're right! I'm your foster mother dear! Martha." She panicked.

"It is very nice to meet you Mrs. Washington." I greeted kindly.

"Oh no, honey! I will not allow you to call me anything other then mom and Martha!" She said sternly. I smile lightly and sit down at a seat next to Laffy then Martha sets a plate full of food infront of me. We all sit in silence for a bit while I move my food around with my fork taking a few bites and the rest eat their food.

"Aren't you hungry darling?" Martha asked me after a while.

"Not really, no..." I answer looking down.

"Why don't you go to bed Alexandra you must be exhausted." Mr Washington said caring.

I nod and walk back up to my room getting ready for bed but then going directly to my desk and writing.
