I'm Gracie, I'm 16 years old and I'm an orphan, and have been all my life. I don't know why I was given up but I don't think about it too much because I came to the orphanage as a infant.
Monday morning 9:00 am
I woke up like any other normal day and got myself ready for the day. I text my best friend Sky to see what she is up to. I have known Sky for about 5 years now and she was adopted 3 years ago:
Gracie💚: Hey, whats up
Sky💙: nothing much but my sweet 16 is coming up, and I definitely want my best friend there!
Gracie💚: you know I would love to but I can't unless a miracle happens and I get adopted.
Sky💙: well Im going to keep my fingers crossed, but it is only 2 nights away, well I got to go but I will text you later, bye❤️
Gracie💚: bye❤️
All of the sudden God answered my prayers, but I don't know if it was for the better or worse. Miss Long , the head lady at the orphanage, came into my room and told me to pack my things. She said I was getting adopted by 5 boys?!?! I was confused but packed my things and headed out excitedly. I ran down the steps and not looking where I was going bumped into someone. The person turned around , he was tall with brown hair and green and grey eyes. He said, "Oh hey, you must be Gracie, I'm Jonah." He put out his hand to shake and I shook it. Just as we shook hands 4 other boys came out of the dining room. They all came up to me and introduced themselves. The one with curly hair came up to me first, "Hi, I'm Jack, your Gracie right?" I nodded and one that looked about my age came up to me next, " Hey I'm Zach, and I'm the youngest one here, so I think we will become close." The next one came up to me," Well hello, my name is Daniel." Finally the 4th boy came up to me, "Hey Gracie, I'm Corbyn, we're really excited to  be bringing you home with us!"
Monday 10:00 am
They went to sign some papers and then we made it out to the car. I sat with Zach in the middle, Jonah was driving while Corbyn was in the passenger seat, and Daniel and Jack were in the back. They said the trip to their house was about a hour, so we got to know each other better on the way there.
"So Gracie, your 16 right?" Jack said. I said "Yeah, what are your ages?" Jonah: "20" Corbyn: "19" Daniel:"19" Jack:"18" and Zach: "17".
I nodded at their answers and I was thinking of a question that suddenly popped in my head.
" Which one of you is my 'dad'?" They all looked at each other and then Corbyn raised his hand. "Oh cool" I said and for the rest of the ride we laughed and got to know each other more. I found out they are in a band called 'Why Don't We' and I remembered Sky loves them! Right when I thought of that I got a text from Sky:
Sky💙: Gracie, I'm freaking out!!! I have really exciting news.
Gracie💚: Yay! I have really exciting news too but you can go first
Sky💙: You know that boy band I love called Why Don't We?
Gracie💚: yeah
Sky💙: They are in LA again!! Now what's your great news?
Gracie💚: Oh that's awesome maybe you will get to meet them, and I GOT ADOPTED!!
Sky💙: I hope so, but OMG IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU, YOU HAVE TO COME TO MY SWEET 16 NOW!!
Gracie💚: Yes I would love to come, have to ask my 'parents' first
Sky💙: Ok, hope to see you there, bye❤️
Gracie💚: Bye❤️
I knew I had to ask the boys to meet her, she would flip out! Corbyn said " We should all put our numbers in each other's phone and make a group chat." Everyone agreed and we made the group chat:
123-4567: ok everyone say their name
987-6543: Zach
Gracie💚 changed 987-6543 to Rosy Cheeks 🌹
123-4567: Corbyn
Gracie💚 changed 123-4567 to Corbean💓
876-5432: Daniel
Gracie💚 changed 876-5432 to Blue Eyes 🌊
765-4321: Jonah
Gracie💚 changed 765-4321 to Uncle J💛
654-3210: Jack
Gracie💚changed 654-3210 to Ramen 🍜
Blue Eyes 🌊 changed the group chat name to: The Family👍🏼
After about 10inures we arrived at this big house, I couldn't believe my eyes! Before we jumped out of the car Corbyn said we have to go over a couple rules inside.
A couple rules? I hope they don't treat me like I'm 8 years old!
We went inside and they showed me my room, I loved it and I was so happy to be living with them. I know I might be very sarcastic and well a little rude sometimes, but it's all out of love ( but they don't have to know that). After getting settled we all go and sit in the living room to get my ' rules' ......... this should be fun.
