Cory's POV

Last night, I went to the orphanage without even thinking about how this could affect me or my family. I asked the person at the front desk if they could bring all the respectful children. I didn't want a rude child.
After a few minutes,  I heard kids laughing and talking. I liked that sound. It reminds me of my childhood. There were twelve kids total. All of the children lined up on the wall. "Can you tell me their names?" I asked. "Sure." The teacher said. She said all of the names leading up to the sixth kid. " And this is Elizabeth." I loved the named Elizabeth and she already caught my eye. "Thi-" As the teacher was going to say another name, I cut her off. "Stop, please." I said. "Excuse me,  I wasn't finished." The teacher grumbled. "I want to adopt her," I pointed to Elizabeth. "She stands out the most." Elizabeth looked around and then pointed to herself. "Me?" she asked. "Yes." I responded.

Eliza's POV

Time skip to when she was adopted

I didn't expect to be adopted at my age. This is good. But, it's also bad. I've lived here for nine and a half years. I've been educated here. And I'll probably never see my friends again. This is horrible. How do I get out of this? "Hey,  um, sir," I said as he looked at me. "Why did you pick me?" He smiled. "You can call me dad, or Cory if you want to. And, I picked you because you stood out and I really like the name Eliza. Now, cmon, let's go to the car." Cory said as he pulled his keys out. "Oh, okay." I followed him to his car and sat in the back seat. I buckled in and we drive off. That orphanage was my home, but not where I belong.
