CHAPTER 2
Walking into the care home, I am suddenly realising that it might not be so bad, I mean, it looks really nice and it's pretty big. I wonder how many people they house? My life might be getting b-
"AH! OMIGOSH!!" I scream, because someone threw a handful of spaghetti at my head! All around me everyone was laughing. I turn around slowly and study everyone's expression.
"You!" I yell at a girl with bushy hair who was at the top of the steps, "What the hell is your problem?!"
"You," she replies to me, "need to chill out. I mean, it's just spaghetti."
A woman just came out of the room across from me and looked up at the bushy haired girl,"what did you do that for? That's not a very nice thing to do to Amber!"
"Amber." bushy hair girl said calmly.
"yes, Amber. She's new. she's going to be staying here, like you -" office woman starts to reply.
"Yeah, I don't care. Hence why I didn't ask." she turns around, "I'll be in my room if you need me." she keeps talking as she walks away, "I didn't hurt her anyway, I was actually helping. Now she doesn't have to walk to the dining room to get her food. YOUR WELCOME!" she yells that as she enters a room, hers I'm guessing.
The office lady turns to me. "sorry about that. That was just Mikaela being... Mikaela. You'll get used to it. Oh! Your hair! I'll help you get cleaned up okay?"
"mhmm, hold on just one sec" I say and turn to Officer Gracin, "I want to leave. Now."
He just looks at me. "Not possible. All the paperwork is already done. No turning back now." he smirks, "sorry." then he leaves. So helpful. My favourite policeman.
After Gracin left, everyone else - who must have appeared while I was talking to Gracin - come to introduce themselves. First up, a pretty girl, small, shoulder-length blonde hair, and a boy who looks like he thinks he's Michael Jackson.
"Hi." the girl says, "I'm Delilah, but everyone calls me Dee. Im 13, 14 in December.And this is my brother Michael, he's 8."
Michael looks at me but doesn't say anything. So I speak first. "Hello Michael." he just stares at me. "how are you?... What do you like to do?"
"you're not a cowboy." wow. Michael speaks.
"No I'm not a cowboy but -" he cuts me off.
"I like cowboys." he says, then he turns around and leaves. I have no words.
"Ermmm. Okay then." is all I can say.
"I know right! I had to live with this most of my life." Dee says to me, then she walks away shaking her head.
"hey," another girl says to me. She has black hair with purple highlights up to the middle of her back and looks intimidating, "Misery's my name, dumpings my game. You look smart. You're doing my math homework." she dumps her books in my hand and turns to walk away "oh and call me Mizzy."
I drop her books on the floor, "So not happening." I say.
She smiles. "Cute. Imma like you" then she walks away.
Now 2 boys walk up to me. One looks 15 and the other around 12. "Hey." the older one says. "I'm Jamie and this is Mark."
Mark looks at me."Aye mami, usted está buscando muy bien por allá" (mommy, you're looking fine over there) and he winks.
I roll my eyes at him. "Por favor, me gustan los chicos un poco mayores, que empequeñecen" (puh-lease, I like boys a little older, you dwarf)
Mark puts his hand to his heart, "hurtful!"
Jamie looks confused, "wait, what are you guys talking about?"
All I can do is laugh.
Mark gasps as if he suddenly realised something. "oh, are you Spanish?" he asks me.
"No, Mexican" I reply, " Are you Spanish?"
"No I'm Puerto Rican" he smiles"we matchy"
I pretend I didn't hear him say that and turn to Jamie. "so..."
He grabs my hand and starts dragging me away.
"come, I wanna show you around" he says. I think. I heard "come, let's run away together". But the first one is more likely. Oh he's just so cute in a boy-next-door kind of way. I wonder if he's single. Does he like me too? Wait, what is he saying?...
"don't you agree?" he says, but I don't know what he's talking about.
"uhmm yeah, totally agree" I say
"Haha, you really weren't listening were you?" he laughs
"ermmmm" I say
"I didn't say anything. All I said was 'don't you agree?' haha that's too funny... What were you thinking about anyway?" he starts saying but I don't really hear. I'm back in dreamland again. Until he clicks his fingers in my face.
"HEY!" he shouts
"Of course ill marry you Jamie!" I say. Then realise what I said. This is soo embarrassing...
"what?" he laughs
"umm you didn't hear that!"I say
"No seriously, do you like me?" he asks
"listen," I say, pinning him to the wall, "this stays between you and me"
"and me!" says a voice behind me. I turn to see it was the one and only...Mark.
