Adopted By 5SOS

My Life

Hello my name is Allison Carter and this is my life. I live in an orphanage in Miami, Florida. I am 16 years old. I have been living here for about 8 years now. This place sucks. I live here with about 49 other girls. They all hate me. I don't know why. This place is called Ms.Ella's Home for Troubled Children. They only reason I am here is because of my past suicidal attempts. When my mom died I wanted to be with her and that was the only way I knew how. My dad shipped me here when I was 8. He cheated on my mom and got married to this other guy. Anyway I have long light brown hair, icy blue eyes, paleish skin and I am 5 ft 5 in tall. Right now it is 7:30 am. We are all home schooled. Tomorrow was Adoption Day. We have Adoption day about once every 2 months. I never get adopted but I am use to it by now. When someone gets adopted there is usually 1-2 people who come from another adoption center to this one. Once I got up I went to my dresser and picked out today's outfit. I chose a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a maroon coloured top. I then grabbed my hair brush and brushed my hair. Once I finished that I put my hair into a messy bun and left it like that. Once I finished I went downstairs because breakfast was soon. I said hello to the workers and went into the pantry. I grabbed a box of Fruity Pebbles and then grabbed a bowl. Once I filled my bowl I grabbed a spoon and started to eat. All of the other kids started to gather around the tables and begun eating. I got looks from other girls here I just ignored them and continued to eat. Once I finished eating I went over into the kitchen and begun to wash my dishes. Once I finished I walked up to my room and grabbed my mp3 player. The orphanage did not buy me this though. This was my mom's. She never used it though so it was blank. I asked on of the workers to download music for me and she did. I put my earbuds in and it started playing  Save You Tonight by 1D. I just sat on my bed listening to a couple more songs until my roommate Haley walked in and interrupted me.

Haley: Hey Bitch Ella wants you downstairs now.

Allison: You know my name is Allison right?

Haley: I could care less. Ugh you along with everyone else in this place are annoying.

Allison: Ha. You think that you are any better.

- Allison walks downstairs and looks for Ella-

Ella: There you are Ali. So since people are coming here tomorrow you need to help clean the kitchen.

Allison: Ok.

Ella: That's it just an ok?

Allison: Listen Ella. I am not like all of these other girls. Well unless you piss me off. Anyway you are the only one here who treats me with respect and doesn't call me bitch.

Ella: Everyone?

Allison: Yep.

Ella: Ok I will have to talk to everyone.

Allison: Please Ella I don't want to get beat up again.

Ella: They beat you up too!!!!!

Allison: Yeah and if they know I told you they will beat me up tonight so please don't tell anyone.

Ella: Sorry Ali but I have too. 

Allison Ugh fine.

Ella: anyway you can start cleaning now.

Allison: Ok.

- She walks into kitchen-

One I got into the kitchen I saw the massive pile of dishes. Everyone is suppose to clean their own plates but they don't. Only 1 quarter of the people here do. I rinsed each dish and then put them into the dishwasher to get clean. After that I put the soap into the dishwasher and it started washing. After that I grabbed a cloth and started to wipe down all of the counters and the appliances. Once I did that I swept the kitchen. I am suppose to have 2 other people in here helping but they refuse to help. They just walked into the kitchen and made it dirtier. I grabbed the broom and started to sweep the floor. After that I mopped and then watched tv until the dishwasher was done. After I unloaded the dishwasher and put everything away I went back up to my room to sleep.
