Emily. That's me. Just picture me. Not what you expect. Straight brown hair, dull hazel eyes, straight enough teeth, a splatter of freckles slapped across my face. Those features are kind of hard to have when you live in an orphanage. I've been here since I was 6. My little sister Lily was 2 months old. I vividly remember it. All I know about my Dad is that he died in the military a few weeks after I was born, and mom...... she didn't die naturally. It wasn't murder either. She started forgetting about me, coming home late and bringing strange men home. Eventually, she got pregnant and had my crazy little sister Lily. Lily looks like an angel. Silky blonde hair, perfect skin, beautiful straight teeth, and sparkling blue eyes. We look non related. " Emmi! Emmi! Emily!! Get up! It's adoption day!" Lily screams while jumping on my bed. We share a room with Maya, who is 12 like me, and Cassie, her sister, who is 6 like Lily. Cassie is doing the same thing Lily is doing to me to Maya. 6 adoption days have passed where Maya, Cassie, Lily and I weren't adopted.

" Hey Lily. Guess what!"

"What?!"

" I know. Also, get dressed."

"I ALREADY AM!!!!!!!" She screams in my face (like a psychopath)

And indeed she is. In her craziest outfit yet. She is wearing a half-torn princess dress with a pair of way too big high heels. " I meant in nice clothes you wacko. Like you said. It's adoption day."
