Kate's Pov

The next day they made me come downstairs. First of all they wanted to formally introduce me to everyone, as well as let me get to know people. I wasn't looking forward to it, I didn't want anyone to know anything about me. It would lead to hurt. 

When I woke up, I got dressed and went downstairs, noticing the time to be nine o'clock, and everyone was in the kitchen. I walked in, and they all turned to look at me, and I shrunk down slightly, walking with my head facing down.

" Everyone this is Kate Baker." Mike said.

" Patter." I told him.

" Pardon?" Someone asked.

" It's Kate Patter."

"  I apologise." Mike said.

I nodded, moving to sit down in the chair he motioned for me to sit in. I didn't know who I was next to, and I stumbled as I moved, and Mike caught me.

" You okay Kate?" He asked.

" I can't see." I whispered slightly.

" Pardon?"

" I don't have my glasses. I need them to see."

" Oh. Where are they?" 

" The social worker never let me pick them up. She didn't give me enough time." I whispered embarassed, as I realised everyone was looking at me.

" Right, I will ring her, and see if she can bring them over. Where will they be?"

" The bathroom."

" All right." He said walking off into a room, which I assumed was his office.

" Well we might as well introduce ourselves right? And get to know each other?" A woman who I assumed to be another sort of social worker said.

" Okay." Everyone said sitting down at the table.

" Okay Elektra you start."

" Well, hi, I am Elektra. I like Snakes and I love wearing electric blue."

" I'm Rick, I love eighties music."

" I'm Tyler, and I like jokes and pranks."

" I'm Floss and I like shiny things."

" I'm Harry, and I like wild animals."

" I'm Faith, I like running."

" I'm Frank and I like football."

" I'm Bailey and I like football."

" I'm Jodie, and I like football, and playing pranks."

" I'm Tee, and I like hanging out with my friends."

" I'm Johnny, I like games."

" Now you Kate." The social worker woman said.

" I'm Kate, I like Harry Potter, Danisnotonfire, AmazingPhil and Percy Jackson?"

" Who?" Johnny said.

" Dan and Phil are youtubers and radio djs." I told them.

" Oh." 

" Am I able to go back upstairs?" I asked quitely.

" Do you not want to talk some more?" Rick asked.

" I need to rest my eyes. They are killing."

" Can you take Kate upstairs please Carmen."

We walked from the room, Carmen following behind me slightly, and she grabbed my arm, and I flinched back violently. She held her hands up shocked, as I ran away from her down the corridor, stumbling slightly.
