*Carly's POV*
A knock aroused from the door, and Quentin jumped to get it. Seven people stood there, and I was guessing they were the rest of the team. I sunk down in my seat, hoping they wouldn't see me. Of course, they did. Mom came in the room and said, "Girls, this is Ashley, Zach, Bashur, Bodil, Tyler, Bonkers, and Gold- I mean Buttersolace!" Dad sent her a glare, and I raised my eyebrow.
Madelyn realized the same thing, and Mitch explained. "Adam has an obsession with butter. Like, the gold you see in Minecraft, is what he calls butter." I remembered it from dad's past videos before he adopted us. There was a lot of people in the house, and I felt really uneasy. Without anyone knowing, I quietly snuck upstairs and into my bedroom. I couldn't take it, I had never been around so many people I didn't know for years.
Sitting on my bunk, I glanced around the empty bedroom. Bright sunlight shone through my window, and I liked it like that. Quiet, peaceful....and a light knock on my door. I whisper a "come in" and my mom steps in, and slowly closes the door. "Hey, we were wondering where you went. It's not fun without you down there. You're supposed to be Crazy Carly," mom said, sitting down next to me.
She was right, but I replied, "I know. But I haven't been around so many people in years, and I'm really shy." Mom stroked my hair and continued, "I know how you feel, when I was first introduced to the guys, I didn't feel like hanging around. But staying locked in your room won't help either." Again, she was right, so I got up and followed her out to the living room.
When I came down the stairs, everyone yelled, "Hey, there's Carly!" I laughed and said, "Staph, don't do dis guys!" Dad put his hands on his hips like a little diva, and said in a girly voice, "Little Miss Know-It-All!" Madelyn said, "She's not the only one who knows your guys' inside jokes!" and stood up, snapping her fingers in Z-formation. I could tell I'd get used to this real quick.
