My next door neighbour'S

Adoption?...

(Picture of house)

Once me and Leonida finally stopped hugging she turned her head to face something in front of us.

I slowly turned my head in curiosity to see what she was looking at.

It was a big old building that looked like a prison I don't know what I am doing here but before I could ask Leonida she was gone and out the car walking to the door of the building.

I quickly took off my seat and rushed out the door slamming the door more loudly than I intended. I ran to her side as she continued walking up the steps to the door.

"Please try not to break my car" Leonida said without turning her head to look at me.

"Sorry" I mumbled

She turned around to face me. "it's fine now don't worry we'll be here for only a few minutes follow me"

I nodded not really trusting my voice as she opened the door.

A bright white light hit my eyes like a ton of bricks it was so bright in here. "argh" I groaned

Leonida chuckled quite loudly for my liking " I know it's very bright in here"

"No shit! Sherlock!" I said

Well not aloud obviously duh.

Instead I just kept quite and followed as Leonida led the way.

It really did look like a prison every room we walked by had steel square bars covering the windows.

There were surveillance cameras everywhere and the walls were all painted white making this place even brighter, I swear next time I'm bringing sunglasses in here.

We kept walking down the hall until we got to the end. Leonida then took out a card and swiped it to get in to the next room.

We walked up a couple of stairs before we got to a room with lots of computers and about 7 or 8 other people typing away.

"I'm back everyone this is Veronica" Leonida announced looking at me with a smile.

There was a chorus of hellos and me being the social freak I am just waved awkwardly at them.

Leonida giggled at me a bit "I'm going to go make some phone calls, can you please go sit on that sofa next to that girl, oh and take this I know you haven't eaten since you got back from school" she said taking a McDonald's out of her bag.

I smiled appreciatively and took the bag. I was about to ask her when she got the McDonald's but she was already away.

Damn this women sure knows how to exit without making a sound.

I walked over to the sofa she was talking about. there was a girl sitting on the right, she looked around my age.

She had dark brown hair that looked almost black and she was beautiful(definatly one of the populars).

She smiled at me as I sat down next to her " Hi my name is Stacey I just moved to this town, what's your name"

I can't believe she is actually talking to me I mean no one talks to me when they see me. Maybe it's just a very cruel dream. yep that's what it is. But if it is just a dream why are my eyes and head hurting from crying, why do I feel so weak it's surely not possible to feel pain when you are in a dream. I looked over to Stacey who was still waiting for an answer.

"Emm... my name is Veronica" I said mentally slapping myself for how socially awkward I am, but instead of looking at me in disgust...

...her smile deepened even more I mean why is she smiling do I have something on my face "that's a beautiful name and what school do you go to"

I was taken aback by how nice she was being towards me. Ok Veronica calm down, I tried telling myself.

"I go to Riverdell high what about you" I mentally high fived myself for how normal I sounded.

"Well I just got to this town but I'll be going to Rosevale High-"

"Veronica let's go" Leonida said interrupting our conversation

"Well bye I hope to see you soon" Stacey said giving me a smile

I can't believe she wants to see ME soon! "Yeah that would be great"

We said our goodbyes then I followed Leonida out the door still holding my not eaten McDonald's.

She looked down at me with a smirk playing at her lips "so I see your making friends"

I smiled sheepishly before nodding.

We got into the car and Leonida started the engine "Leonida, where are we going and what is going to happen to me"

"Ok well there is bad news and good news. So I'll start with the bad news, the bad news is that you are going to court in 3 days to decide weather you will be living alone or getting adopted and that means you will have to be living with a family during the 3 days. The good news is that you will be living with ME!" she said screaming with excitement.

"Omg Leonida don't ever do that to me again your scared me I thought I was going to be living with a family I don't even know or something" I said clutching my heart in a fake heart attack.

She chuckled loudly before stopping the car in front of the mall.

"Why are we here?"

"Well all your clothes are gone so I thought you would need some clothes for your new school"she said simply.

"What! new school?" I asked

"Well you wont be going to 'your' school for these 3 days because you will be getting prepared for court and if you get adopted or live by yourself you will still have to move school" she said with a smile.

Oh god!

My life is changing...
