How to fight the system

Chapter 6

I woke up early next morning to Kate talking in her sleep. I grabbed my phone and turned it on. I looked through my apps and hit the camera role button. I tapped on my first picture of me and my friends. It was me, Jordyn, and Ashley with our high school behind us. Man good times. a couple more picks of us. Then there was a picture of the family Christmas picture. Tears started to form as I looked through the pictures. The family at the beach, my homecoming pictures with my friends, silly selfies with my brothers. Then I come to my last picture. A picture of the family at the airport. I started to cry and shut my phone off. Why did it have to happen to us. It could have been anyone else but no it was my family. My phone started to vibrate and I looked to see Jordyn calling me. I answered the phone and weakly said hello. "OMG are you okay, we saw the news. I'm with Ashley right now. Where are you?" I told them quietly that my parents died and now I am in a foster home. "Hey this is ashley I am so sorry to hear that how are Coral and Brice doing?"There was a long pause then I answered. "Good"I said "We don't live together anymore. They have different foster parents then I do" They quietly said they are sorry to hear that but they will stay in touch. Then I hung up. I texted them my address and told them they can send  letters there since I might not be able to text off my phone anymore. I also gave them my email for my Ipad. After that I walked out into the living room and turned on the TV. I watched the news for a while and fell back asleep. I was woken up to an alarm going off. It was 6:30. Kate came out of the room and grabbed an apple. She slowly walked back into her room and got dressed. She ran in the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and grabbed her backpack. Miss. Patty asked if I was okay and I said I was fine. I walked in my room and got dressed. I brushed my teeth, threw my hair into a messy bun, grabbed my bag and followed them to the truck. I am going to spend the day at the high school. So I am not in school but Miss. Patty can't leave me home alone so I have to go with her. She turned the key and started the car. Miss. Patty and Kate talked while I sat in the back. I pulled out my diary and started writing. 

Monday,

I am sitting in the truck right now. I wrote a letter to Coral and Brice yesterday. Jori and Ashley called me and I told them what happened. I miss home, my family, my friends, my life. I was looking through my camera roll and I still have a picture from the trip. Our last picture as a family. The other foster kid is a girl name Kate. She is really pretty and nice. She was a baby when she was put up for adoption. 

I didn't know what else to write. Then we pulled into the high school. It was huge. I followed Miss. Patty and Kate out of the car and some girls called to Kate. She turned and told them one minute and turned back to us. "Bye Miss. Patty, bye Ally" then she ran off. I turned to Miss. Patty and said Kate got my name wrong. "She doesn't have great memory"she said. I rolled my eyes and followed Miss. Patty inside. There was many kids, some playing cards, reading books, a group spray painting a locker, and some kids playing football. "Pass it here"Yelled one of the boys. The other kid threw the ball and the other kid ran back to catch it. The kid ran right into me and we both fell. "I am so sorry"he said. He got up and offered me his hand. I grabbed it and he helped me up. "Luke"he said. "Abby"I told him. "Hey Luke stop flirting and throw the ball"One of the kids yelled. I picked up the ball and threw it to one of the kids. "Nice throw"he said I told him thank you and I walked away. Luke was about 5'8 short dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, and obviously plays sports. I walked into the art room with Miss. Patty and the bell rang. She handed me a sketch book and told me to do what I want. I started to sketch out a big broken heart as the first class walked in.
