WILL I? OR.. WILL I NOT?

WHY?

As we stood there, staring at each other, it started to get awkward. Finally, he sighed and said , "You know, there's a chance that you'll get adopted today. Right? So why not just come with my family? Sorry but, I told Mrs.Catherine all about what happened the other day. Even tho it was just yesterday, come on? Let's just go?"

Seriously? I don't know what to say, I look over at his parents, they're watching me. Yup. I guess my comment wasn't acceptable. Both of them are glaring at me, while Mrs.Cat is trying to explain some things to them. Sighing, I agree. "Fine. Can't take the risk, now can we?"

So...time for an apology. Not to Eric, but to his parents. Still can't believe I blurted that out. Embarrassing but, it's whatever. Going straight to them, I tell them sorry. That should be enough right? Maybe...nope. Nevermind. Sorry is enough.

"Sorry for what I said earlier Mr and Mrs...um..," wow...just realizing it, Eric never told me his full name.

"Mr.Smith," said his dad. Right. "Well then..sorry Mr and Mrs.Smith."

"It's quite alright young lady, next time, think before you say something please?," Think? I always think before I say something. Obviously I meant that comment. Hey, it was funny, you can't blame me. It's probably just humorous to me. Eh, I don't know.

I look over at Mrs.C, and she has this look in her eye...what do you call it?...I think it's hope. Yeah, hope. Hopefully, thinking I agree to go with this family (since you know...I already know their son,) yeah sure. Why not? I smile and nod at her. Wow, this must've been the happiest thing that happened to her early in the morning.

"Oh goody!! Shall I get the paperwork for you to sign, Mr and Mrs.Smith?," She says with an excited voice.

"Yes, thank you."

So, Mrs.Catherine goes over to her desk where all of the files  were. Those are a lot of files. Trust me, when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. Finally, she finds mine and clips it to the clipboard. Coming around, she hands it to the Smith's. Wait...do I have to change my name? I want to keep Cindy May...Cindy Smith...Smith with my name..doesn't sound quiet well.

  Come to think of it...Why? Why would they be desperate enough to adopt me? Other families...Just pitied me, and took me. I hope it's not pity their showing me..I hate it when people pity me. Yeah, hate is a strong word...But..That's exactly why I used it. I strongly dislike it.

   Overall..This is the best day ever! I get to have a family..Oh god! Think about how fun it will be? I get I be with Eric as well..I think it's weird that I said that...Oh well.
