I'm Bailey and I am 15. Life can be hard sometimes. But unfortunately for me it's hard all the time. Everyday couples come in and are looking for a daughter or sun to take home with them. I guess I'm just not the right kid for anybody.

Or at least that's what I thought before July 10th. A boy came in looking for a daughter to adopt.

To say I don't remember that day is an understatement. It's very vivid in my brain and I will never forget it.

July 10, 2016 3:28 pm. We were all, the girls, lined up in the front room and waiting for whoever was about to walk through the tall double doors.

About after 10 minutes of us waiting and me playing a game on my phone I hear the bell ring from the top of the door. Which I never understood why it was there. This isn't a grocery store.

A tall blonde man walks in and to the front office towards Ms. Vicky, The head mistress.  He didn't really look like a man though. More like a 17 year old. But looks can be deceiving.

They talk for a few minutes and he is handed papers to sign. He hasn't even came to pick one of us out. Why the papers?

I'm looking at my nails in my thoughts when I hear my name being called. What now I stand up and turn backwards because that is where I heard the voice. "Um Bailey the head office." Katy says and I turn around.

My heart is beating out of my chest and I start to freak out. Frozen in place I forage my legs to walk. I breath, or try to breath slowly and head over.

The tall boy gives me a welcoming and warm smile and I nod and return it. She says that Luke I guess is here to take me home and I laugh sarcastically.

"Are you serious?" I ask him with a questioning yet unbelievable look on my face. "I'm serious. now go get your stuff it's a long drive back." I walk off with my hair in my face feeling my cheeks burn. The girls give me a look of disgust. They're just jelly I guess. 

I really don't have much. I get my few band tees skinny jeans and underwear. Then my charger and hair brush. I stomp down the stares not stopping for hugs. I wasn't really close to anyone anyways.

Luke is waiting for me outside and I say my goodbyes to the head mistress. "Thanks for taking care of me." She says anytime and we do a little hand shake. Don't ask...

"I feel we are already hitting it off great because your shirt says panic!." Luke says. I laugh and say "well my favourite band is Blin-" I couldn't even get my words out before he blasts I miss you. I laugh and we sing songs by our favourite Bands for the whole 2 hour drive. Besides stopping for burgers.

I'm excited for what's to come. I just shocked myself. Am I happy? Wow that's a first...
