Adopted by Mahogany Lox

Big Day pt.2

I sat in my room on the bed with Clair behind me brushing my hair. People were already arriving and adopting kid to kid. But as same as always no one ever comes in and says that some one as chosen me.

" OMG, CLAIR! CLAIR!" We heard Samantha yelled coming into the room.

" Yeah? What's going on, is everything ok?" Clair asked putting the brush down.

" Someone here wants to adopt you." Samantha answered. 

" Really?!" 

" Yes hurry go pack." Clair got up and ran to her room. I told her. But still... i'll never get adopted. I put my hands together and played with them. Samantha noticed.

" You'll get adopted kid don't worry." She said then left the room.

" You say that every week." I mumble then lay down and hug charlie close to me. I wanna get adopted but I don't. If I get adopted then that means bye bye Samantha, bye bye Marianne, bye bye Ms. Cantler who has taught me everything I know now. But if I get adopted I'll have a mom, a dad, and maybe they have a puppy.

" Yes Jacob I'm sure." I told him.

" OK, go get ready I'll warm up the car." He told me. I nodded and ran upstairs and got dressed. I put on a Black long sleeve shirt, a maroon colored cardigan, a maroon skater skirts and black leggings. I put on my cat ear headband then rushed downstairs. Before I headed out I slid on my black doc martins and grabbed my bag. 

" Ready?" Jacob asked. I nodded and slipped into the car.

When Jacob pulled up to the center, I unbuckled my seat belt and got out. He put the car in park and got out following me in. When we fully got inside, adults were talking to the kids they adopted, some are waiting. I took a breath. This is a big step i'm- we're taking and were 19. We walked to the front desk where a lady with browish black hair sat. 

" Hello how may I help you?" She asked.

" Hi um... We would like to adopt a kid." I told her. She smiled.

" Gender and Age?" She asked. Me and Jacob looked at each other. I put my hands together and played with them. Jacob leaned in and whispered in my ear reminding me that we're doing a good thing. I nodded. 

" Girl and 6-7." I answered. She got up and opened a file drawer. As she was looking I saw her look at a file, give it a look then skip over it.

" Hey. Go back the one you skipped." I said. She gave me a questionable look. " You know what i'm talking about." I told her. She rolled her eyes but then gave a small but very fake smile and grabbed it. 

" Nicole Davidson." She spoke and handed me her file. I opened it up. There was a picture of a little girl about 6 or 7. She has Brownish red hair and clear skin with bright hazel-green eyes. 

" Her." I said. Jacob leaned over my shoulder and looked.

I smiled. 

" Nicole." Jacob said. I looked up at him. He was smiling.

" Nicole.... Whitesides?" I asked. She smiled even bigger. 

" Nicole Whitesides." He repeated.

" Are you sure you want her, I mean we have many other-" I cut her off.

" We want her and only her." I said sternly. She nodded slowly.

" Um, I will need to see both of your license or ID's." She told us. We both handed her our ID's.
