I was only 6 years old sitting in this orphanage. I had just got sent home from yet another family in all the 3 years of being here I've been sent back from 87 families and I know this by heart because they have it on a board. "Aliyah get your ass in here!!!!" Mrs.Lubina called. I jumped out of my seat and ran towards her office. Mrs. Lubina wasn't someone you wanted to mess with. "Yes?" I asked. "¿Cómo decepcionaste a esta familia, porque estas de vuelta aqui?" Mrs. Lucy asked beating me with a stick as she spoke. "Que hiciste eh, que hiciste?!!!!" Mrs. Lubina screamed, "Get outta here no dinner for a week!!!" Mrs.Lucy yelled. I ran right out of the room grabbed my stuff and went to my shared room. I put my things on the last bed available, and sleep.
A week later

I look out the window of the tiny orphanage in Spain. I hate this place... Pequeños Angeles, meaning little angels. None of us were angels, just a bunch of kids who were without parents. Today I'd finally leave this place. They were shipping me off to some lame place in New York. Apparently they were deciding to adopt me on the spot no visitation or anything. So as soon as I step off that last plane I'm their problem. I've only met them once there's Alice (the mother), Eric (the dad), Jacob (the oldest), and Emmiline (the youngest). I'm not sure how I feel about all of this but I have no say in who or what adopts me, which is stupid if you ask me. I'm just happy it's not an official adoption it's just a placement and the orphanage gave them a year to decide if they want to adopt me or foster me until someone else adopts me. I walk past Alicia she's 15 and like an older sister. "Hi." I say. "Hey." She says. "Have fun with your new family, I'm happy for you." She says. I nodded. "I love you Liyah." She says. "I love you to." I say. "La esperanza es el inferno...,"she starts our mantra. "Y la confianza es el diablo." I finish for her. La esperanza es el inferno, y la confianza es el diablo. Hope is hell, and trust is the devil. We say that every time one of us gets a family to remind them to be careful. Later I finally got to New York and the family took me home. I find out quickly that they only adopted me to be their own personal servant. My room is nice and all but at the same time I can tell they don't like me. Okay so guys I decided to change everything about this story and make it new so sorry for that. FYI if you're new here this used to be called Aliyah Hart takes on the world. But I hope you like this.
