I'm SO sorry for my abscence, life has been really confusing. I'm gonna be a freshmen thsi fall, volleyball practice is on august 11, and the love of my life is planning to go to COnnecticut fo ra month meaning i wont be able to see him on my birthday(auggust 27 btw) on with the story --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No one menions about the celebration of my birthday here in this horrid place called an orphanage. The only people who cared were my teachers who were my only friends at the school. My roommate, Rian is my childhood best friend, i might have a major crush on him, we do joke around and play games. When I'm sad, he finds many ways to make me laugh then on one of those days, he looks at me in the eye, hugs me, lets me cuddle with him then tickles my insecurities away.That noon, a couple cam efor adoptions, Rian went in the room with them, hours passed ,he finally walked out and started packing up. I was happy for him that he got a new family but something inside me felt empty. when the sun had disappeared letting in some moon light i was laying on my bed with my eyes wide open. he was still vivid in the room like a ghost or a memory. A faint figure roame around looking for someone, calling my name, i rememeber we used to play hide and seek all the time and once he found me he would tickle me. I closed my eyes and the figure was gone.

"It was just my imagination?"I whispered,"I miss you, Rian." Warm, soft light shined through my room, I slupmed sitting up rubbing my crusty eyes."Morning Rian." I yawned, no reply, m yhead hung low remembering that he's no longer with me. A stampede of boys and teens raored down the hallway of my door and down the stairs, it's pancake breakfast day, the gremlins vaccumed all of the plates.Since I'm the only girl in the building, I learned to fend for myself and not whine, so my choices are to wait until our care taker cook more or fight my way in. Of course I chose to fight and jumped in, some teenage punk started pulling my hair and dumped sryup all over my hair.When he stopped I turned around and immediantly kicked him right in the crotch. My punches didn't hurt him concidering I'm the weakest of all but that didn't stop me, moments later his friends dog piled me and started a mosh pit.Our caretaker, foster dad if you will, dove in and shielded me from the harsh blows.

"You boys should be ashamed of yourselves, picking on an innocent seven year old girl." Johnny said to them holing me close to his chest.

"She jumped on us!" one of the boys bickered.

"That's enough, you're all grounded!"He shouted, walking me to the only girl's room to wash my hair. An hour later he walks me to a room with a table and three chairs,two on one side and one on the other side. There sat a couple, my legs started shaking as my hands felt moist with sweat." It's gonna be okay sweetie, you're gonna do great.'Johnny reasured me.

"Hi, my name's Felisha, I love to draw and write. I love animals, when i grow up I wanna be an artist. I'm always shy when I meet new people and I like warm hugs."

"What are you looking for in a family?"the man asks.

"As long as it's made up of; a prepared, sarcastic, loving momm. a Silly yet caring daddy and a brother who likes to play games, caring and selfless."I mentioned to them then pulled out my drawings from my room.

"Aw,that's so cute." the lady said placinbg her hand over her chest.

"These are amazing, you have a gift."the man was in awe."Johnny, we'll take her." they called him in unison. As they were busy chatting I was busy packing, soon later Johnny knocked on my seemingly open door.

"Baby girl,I just came to tell you that, I'm gonna miss you so much."he said walking, squatting,trying to hold in tears." I love you so much,try not to get into trouble okay?"he scrubbed my head messing up my hair whish was now in a lazy pony tail. We hugged good bye at the front porch, as the car drove off I looked back at him from the rear window and waved bye. After we made that left turn I never saw him again, my new mom who was sitting in the passenger's seat turned back at me,

"You'll love your new older brother, he's so sweet, silly amd super smart.' My ears perked up, my heart beated explicintly, kicking my feet in the air laying on both back seats. Mouthing," Yes, thank you!" I can already picture him; curly, dark brown hair,soft, dark coal-black eyes. At least around 15, if not 14, he would play pretend with me, play video games and maybe even teach me how to ride a skateboard.

"We're here!"Cheered my dad, I sat up quickly and shouted,"YAY!" The excitment caused my feet to fall asleep so my mom carried me as my dad lifted my bags.
