Adopted by a Gang leader

Chapter 1

Sammi's POV 

Present day (Age 8)

I crouched behind the dumpster and waited for the perfect timing. The man who worked at the booth finally turned his back away and I took my chance. I sprinted as fast as could toward the booth and grabbed a pack of apples. I sprinted away trying to not get caught by anyone but luck wasn't on my side.

One of the other booth owners saw me take the apples and screamed something I couldn't understand. I sprinted faster than I ever had before but the booth guy wasn't giving up. I couldn't believe that he was chasing me over food, most people just gave up as soon as I was out of the door.

I tried to blend in with the crowd but my clothes were so dirty and tattered that most people avoided me. I sprinted into a nearby alley and hid behind a box. I pulled a grey t shirt out of my bag and threw it on. I left my pink shorts on trying to appear as a normal kid. I sprinted across the road and into the park. I pretended to put shoes in my bag and climbed up onto the equitment. I saw the booth guy look around the park but pay no attention to me.

I smiled and laughed at how stupid people could be. He couldn't even notice it was me all because I changed my shirt and hid the apples. 

I pulled an apple out of my bag and began to eat it. I sat around until the moon was up and climbed a random tree to sleep in. As soon as I was comfortable and sure I was safe, I let my eyelids close.
