Life In Care

first night of the foster home

May 22nd

After my auntie has finished calling people she said I've got a new home with an Italian family, which sounded really nice so I got on the train to Derby. the Italian woman met me in the station.

"Hi, I'm Mikki you'll be living with me for a while" she said "OK" I said shyly. "come with me, I've got my car with me."

Her car was a Fiat 500C white , quite cute for a little thing.

we were driving for about 15 minutes then we arrived to this 5 bed house in a small village in Derbyshire, very nice hills.

we entered the house and it was big and there was two Males in the kitchen. one disabled in a wheel chair and the other caring for him.

Mikki introduced them to me "This is Jamie" the man looking after the disabled person "and this is stiveie"  the disabled person.

Mikki sat me down and went though the rules. most of which where stupid like

no phone and no food in my bed room.

but apart from that most of the rules seemed fine. She showed me my room. pink with butterfly's. she said " sorry about the colour I'll get it decorated soon, in the colour you want " I noded and looked at the bath room which was small but OK.

Then she showed me the door to her bed room "This room is mine and will always be locked"

That was a bit weird but I continued looking around the house was like a trardis bigger on the inside.

then she said supper is nearly ready, it was only omelet but it was really nice.

after supper we sat in the living room and watch TV for a while, then Mikki told me to go shower and showed me where everything is and how the shower works.

after my shower she said that bed time was 9pm, a time I wasn't used to. but I agreed to the new bed times.

9 o'clock came and I said good night and went bed, but I was still wide awake and looked around my bed room.

It was empty and I didn't like it so I started to put clothes away and see if there way any hidden things, I looked in the wardrobe and bingo, a laptop. I tried turning on but it didn't work. dammit.

Then i hear Mikki walk up stairs and then I quick put laptop back and turn lights out.

And that was my first night there.
