Adopted by Crainer and Thea (Book 1)

Adoption Day

"Quinn!" I woke up to my little sister Jaylinn screaming, doesn't anyone know how to shut up and let me sleep around here?. "Someone's going to be here to adopt in an hour," she continued screaming at the top of her lungs. Ugh, five-year-olds.

"Ok, and?" I asked sleepily, I really didn't care about some random person who is too sad to have their own kids.

"You need to get up because they want someone in your age group," Oh, Jay, you don't understand yet...

"Trust me they don't want me. They want Miss. Perfect from across the hall," I told her while rolling over to go back to sleep.

"You mean Isabelle?" She asked cluelessly, some people man...

"Of course, now leave me alone," I said, shoving my face into the pillow in order to block out the sound of her annoying voice and the sight of her annoying face.

"Miss. Jen said you had to get up though." She said, she REALLY does not understand when to leave me alone.

"Jay, I don't care," I told her rudely.

"Quinn..." I got out of bed, put my hand over her mouth, picked her up and threw her out of my door.

"FINE," I yelled, she looked shocked and ran away crying. Do I care? No. I guess I'll just have to get ready.

I walked down the hall to the shower rooms much like the one you would find at a pool and walked slowly into a shower. I washed my hair and body, then stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me. I walked back to my room and changed into my black shirt and a pair of denim shorts because it was the middle of summer and I lived in Florida.

by the time I was done, I still had 20 minutes until this "adopter" was supposed to be here so I decided to scroll through my twitter feed. I started scrolling through looking at a load of nonsense, then I realised I had a notification.

@MrCrainer mentioned you in a tweet.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is my dream come true! His videos give me life and he MENTIONED ME! Needless to say, I wasted no time clicking on the tweet to view it.

@Quinnthebin Your videos are the bomb! #SubscriberForever!

Oh my gosh! He saw my videos! My favourite YouTuber saw my freaking videos! I liked and retweeted the tweet then I turned off twitter excitedly and realised I only had five minutes, so I decided it might be a good idea to put my shoes on.

I was entirely ready when I heard a scream. Then Miss Jen stormed into my room.

"How dare you! You throw your sister out of the room! And then you decided to break all of the rules! I have you your laptop for school, I gave you your phone for contact, and YOU GO AND MAKE YOUTUBE VIDEOS!" She yelled angrily.

"But Miss, technically, YouTube is contact," I stated and all I got was a glare.

"Why you little..." she started.

"Excuse me, but I think that's enough," a voice from the doorway said. I looked over and my heart dropped the person standing in the doorway was none other then Crainer! "Technically, she is right, YouTube is contact. She outsmarted you there Jen," He said with a cheeky smile, by now I think I was smiling from ear to ear.

"Pack your stuff then," Miss Jen said before storming out of the room, leaving me alone with Crainer. He smiled at me.

"Hold on let me go get my girlfriend," He said and walked away. So, while he went to get his girlfriend, I stood there processing what just happened and trying to figure out if this was all just a dream and I need to wake up. Before my thoughts could continue he walked back in with a person that I vaguely remembered. I didn't quite remember her name but I had seen her in a few of his videos and live streams.

"So, your Quinn right?" She asked while putting her hand out to shake mine.

"Yeah," I said nicely while shaking her hand. I wasn't exactly sure what to do right now.

"Cool! I'm Thea," She answered back. Oh, that was her name!

"Hi," I said.

"I'm Ben or some people know me as Crainer, I tweeted you this morning," Crainer said, introducing himself.

"I'm Quinn, but think you guys already know that," I said with a laugh, which was kind of ironic because I had already known who they were ... at leat mostly. Nevertheless, they smiled at me and Crainer went to say something else.

"So, I was watching one of your videos where you were talking about living in an orphanage, and I decided I wanted to adopt you. Are you ok with that?" He asked and I could tell he was a little bit nervous. As for me, I was ecstatic! Again, I tried to figure out if it was just a dream, it wasn't. I didn't understand how this was even a question...

"That sounds epic!" I told him while looking him in the eyes.

"Awesome! I'll leave you and Thea to pack your stuff then. I don't associate with erm... teenage girl stuff. I don't need to know about any of it." He said with a laugh and walked out the room.

"Ok, let's get this show on the road!" Thea said excitedly and together we packed up all of the crap that I had.

...

As we boarded the plane, I remembered the fear of flying that I had. Seriously, if you knew how planes flew and what happens when they crash... you would too. To start, the position they tell you to from in the situation of a crash breaks your neck so that you can't sue the airline. Plus, You have 90 seconds to get out of the flying death traps before you die of the smoke. Anyways, we boarded the plane and I was actually freaking out, in these moments I don't really ever know what to do. Usually, I just take a nap so I decided to do that. The next thing I knew, we were in Denmark.
