My Hidden Twin

Tessa's POV

I sat up and jumped off the top of my bunk bed. "Leela, wake up!" I said shaking the girl under me. She grunted and slumped out of bed. her almond hair was knotted and tangled. I ran into the bathroom seeing Mackayla in their. "Hurry up, we're gonna be late!" I said. She rushed out of the bathroom and I slipped in. I pulled my light brown hair into a high ponytail. I threw on jean shorts and a blue and white stripped tank top that flared out at the end. I ran back into my room and grabbed the IPhone I had gotten for my birthday. Slipping it into my back pocket, I ran downstairs.

Everyone in the orphanage was in a rush because today some people were going to come and adopt a girl. I had been in the orphanage my whole life. Ms. Brenna, the orphanage care taker, said that there was a mix up at the hospital and my family forgot to take me home. But how do you forget a baby?Now that I was 12, I was hoping I would get adopted. I've seen a lot of kids come and go, but I'm the one that nobody ever wants to adopt.

We all stood in a line outside Ms. Brenna's office. We would wait until she called us, and then go in meet the family, and talk with them for a little while. Ms. Brenna came out of her office. "Girls, they won't be here for another hour.' she said. We all sighed at the thought of having to wait.

Taryn's POV

The long car drive was so not worth it. I didn't want a sibling anyway. my mom turned around in her seat. "Are you excited honey?" she asked. I just grunted. My mom turned to my dad. "Niall," she said. "Taryn you're just gonna have to get over it, you have been acting like a brat lately and you need to see what it's like to have siblings." my dad almost yelled. I rolled my eyes and unlocked my phone. I saw the picture of my dad and his band mates when they wee still together. I started texting Zayn's daughter, Celyn. She didn't text back so I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When I woke up, we were at the orphanage. I climbed out of the car to look at the big house. Living here didn't seem too bad. We were greeted at the door by a bunch of screaming little girls. The orphanage caretaker, Brenna, led us into her office where we sat and interviewed all the girls. I ignored most of them and played on my phone. When like the 12th girl came in, my mom nudged me. I rolled my eyes and shut my phone off. "I'm Niall and this is my daughter, Taryn, and my wife, Michelle." my dad said. My mom and I both looked up at the same time. We both gasped when we saw the girl. She looked identical to me. "Uh, um, what's your name honey?" my mom asked, obviously shaken by how much we looked alike. "Tessa." she said. My mom gasped again. We all turned to her and raised our eyebrows. "She's you twin." my mom whispered.
