"Go on, ring the doorbell." Ms. Heart encourages me. I walk up to the door and ring it. I'm feeling really nervous right now. What if my new guardians didn't like me? What if they were like my old parents? Questions like this have been racing through my head ever since I set foot in the car. It's been a long  flight here from Seattle.

  I snap out of my thoughts as the door opens revealing a young women with blonde hair and kind brown eyes. She seems only to be in her early 30s. "Hello dear, you must be Preston. So nice to meet you," she said inviting me to her home. I walk in observing my surroundings. Everything seems to be neat and organized. All the furniture matches too. "My name is Mrs. Irwin." She said with wide smile. I waved to her, not uttering a single word. "Well it's nice to meet you, I can't wait to get to know you, I've never had a daughterly figure in my life before so this is going to be fun." she rambles on. In a while or two, I nod pretending to act like I acknowledge what she is saying. I am actually thinking about if this kind lady is an act, or is that her true character.  

   After a tour of Mrs. Irwin's house, she shows me my room. It was a medium sized room with pale blue walls, and dark brown furniture. Even it was simple, it was much more than I had before. I drop my things in the large walk-in closet I had. My clothes would only take up 5 of the hangers since I practically wore the same clothes every week. My old parents wouldn't buy me anything else. I sigh and look around the room one more time. I hear some laughter coming outside of the window, so I walk over there. I tilt the blinds a little so I can look outside. As I peek out the window, I see about 4 boys outside that look to be my age. One of them has black hair, one has dirty blonde curly hair, one has blonde hair, and one has hair that looked like a unicorn threw up on it. But I like it.

   It seems to be as they are singing or something. I can't really decipher since there is some distance between us. Suddenly the door opens, and I jump. I turn around to see it was Ms. Heart. She smirks at me,"Already sight seeing, huh?" I instantly blush,"That's not what I was doing, I mean I heard something and I looked and there we-,"

   She interupts my rambling,"It don't care. I just wanted to tell you that I am leaving. If you need anything just call me, okay?" she says rudely.

"Who are those boys?" I ask curiously.

"That's Ashton Irwin, the one with the curls, and the rest are his friends."

Irwin? That means that's Mrs. Irwin's son. Oh no. That's terrible. I thought I was going to be myself, but there is a teenage boy living in this house with me. 

"Great." I mutter. Ms. Heart closes the door and I fall onto the bed. I am tired and I need sleep.

     I hear a knock on the door and I slowly open my eyes. "Come in." I croak. I look up to see Mrs. Irwin at the door. 

"Preston, you need to take your pills." Oh so she knew I was defected, and she still took me in.

"Thanks." I say, taking the pills from her hand. After that I lay back down. 

"Don't you want dinner?" she asks.

"No thanks, I just need some rest." I say trying to sound polite. She nods and turns the light off. I close my eyes and think about how everything is about to change. How my life is going to be completely different. 

  The sun shines through the windows waking me up. I wake up and turn to the clock to see it was around 9 a.m. I guess I''m going to have to get out of bed. I don't want to make a bad impression on my new guardians. I walk to the bathroom and do my daily routine. I simple sweat pants, a yellow v-neck, and tie my hair. As I walk downstairs, I see Mrs. Irwin cooking and Mr. Irwin, who I haven't seen before, sitting at the table reading something. I enter the kitchen waving to Mrs. Irwin. "Good morning." I say, plastering a fake smile on my face.

  "Hello Preston, I'm Mr. Irwin, but you can call me Steve," he says reaching out his hand for me to shake. I weakly do. After that I sit down next to an empty chair. I start to look around the table. When Mrs. Irwin hands me food, I reject.

"I'm not hungry, but thanks anyways." 

She sighs,"You have to eat something." Before I try to something, I turn to see the boy Ashton walking down the stairs.

"Hey Mom, can I have some bac-," he stops in the middle of his sentence as he sees me. "Um who's that?" he questions.

"She's Preston, and she's going to be living with us for a while." she says. I can tell she's nervous.

"Um mom, can I talk to you? Alone." he says, his voice strained. 

"Sure honey." she hesitates.

As they walk out, I sigh. I leave and go up to my room. On the first day, I ruined everything. Wow. New record. I lock the door and slide down. I cover my face my hands and cry. Cry as hard as I can. God, I haven't cried in a while.
