RYDER POV

I was woken up early to the sound of my hyperactive roommates squealing and running about, I groan then roll over and sink my head back into my pillow and attempt to get back to sleep, it must have been five minutes and surprisingly I was nearly asleep again until Sarah burst in our room saying 'Boys, time to get up'. I tried to ignore her but she had to be herself and walk over to my bunk and practically shake me into next week... kinda... when I finally came to terms with the fact I was not getting back to sleep I dragged my self out of bed and into the shower.

One very long shower later I was ready, I put on my 'smart' hoodie and some ripped skinny jeans then made my way to the living room where I plonked myself onto the couch and allowed my sled to be consumed by it, after waking up a bit I pulled out a game boy I found earlier that week with Pokemon Red then played on that to pass the time.

It had been a usual open day, adults walking round, looking at all the younger kids and trying to avoid to me, until something unusual happened

END OF POV

Clare: so we want someone older then 10 but younger then 15?"
Ali: Exactly
Clare: okay *deep breath* let's do this
They both smile then enter the room, the living room was full of adults and children, the two looked around and saw every single child being talked to apart from one, Ali started looking around at kids but Clare spotted this one child in the corner of her eye
Clare: Hey Ali
Ali: Yeah?
Clare: what about him?
Ali: who?
Clare: Look him playing with the game boy, look he's all alone
Ali: you had me at game boy
They both laugh then walk over to him,
RYDER POV
As I finish a battle with a onyx I get a tap on the shoulder, I turn and see two people stood looking at me with smile, I have a confused look on my face
"Hello" the girl says
"Hi?" I reply, still confused
"Do you mind if we have a chat with you?" The man asks
"Yeah sure" I reply, at first I assumed they were lost but when they asked to chat a small bit of hope entered my heart that they wanted to adopt me, any way we talked about casual stuff like getting to know each other and stuff, we do have a lot of things in common surprisingly. I think things went well to be honest but it's up to them
END OF POV
THE NEXT DAY
Ryder wakes up early the next day and goes and sits at the bar in the kitchen with a bowl of cereal, Sarah walks in
Sarah: you excited for today?
Ryder: why?
Sarah: your new parents are collecting you?
Ryder: my what?
Sarah: your new parents! Don't you remember that couple that talked to you are picking you up today
Ryder: wait really?!??
Ryder jumped up and began to pack his bags
Sometime after
Sarah: Ryder Come on some special people are waiting for you, and don't forget your clothes
Ryder ran to the door and stood there looking at the two
