I'd arrived at what was apparently my new home and I was determined not to be scared, but I couldn't stop my shaking palms
'Need a hand?' The man said as I yanked my suitcase out of the boot
'I can manage' I say as we walk to the door we're greeted by a lady who was very bubbly and wore bright colours
'Ahh the new girl! Hello, why don't you go into the living room and we'll introduce you to everyone' she says
'I have a name you know' I say
I walk straight past her. Not bothering to wait for a reply
I take my suitcase into the living room and I bump into a girl dressed in pink from head to toe
'Watch where your going!' I say angrily before pushing past her determined to stay strong
'Tracy your over an hour late!' I hear the man say
'Sorry!' She says
'It's fine, the new girls just arrived so we should all go and introduce ourselves' he says as they walk into the living room
I look her in the eye for a second and she smiles I look down to the floor
'Right everyone this is Opal and she's 12, one by one everyone say hello and their names' the man says
'Hi Opal I'm Lily' a young girl dressed in purple says
'Hi Opal I'm Toby' a boy in checkers says with a smile
'Hey Opal I'm Liam king of the liamade' he says smiling
In my head I'm laughing and I can't wait to find out what liamade is
We go round the circle and soon enough I know everyone until the young lady from before steps up
'Hey Opal, I'm Tracy' she says smiling
And I give her a subtle smile back before remembering I can't trust anyone. I roll my eyes and she looks saddened by this
TRACYS POV
I'm guessing she doesn't like me already
All the kids come up to her and start asking her questions, she yanks her suitcase off the floor, clearly annoyed
'Can you lot just bog off!!' She shouts before heading upstairs
I like her already.
