//Riley's P.O.V:// *Friday*
Today is adoption day, meaning multiple people are coming today to meet kids and adopted them. I know I'm not getting adopted so I just stayed in my room the whole day. Then before I knew it came Saturday. I layed in bed and watched youtube for hours when randomly one other girl from the orphanage came in.
Bailey: Riley, Riley, come on, come on!
Riley: what do you want!?
Bailey: there is someone out there that want to adopt someone your age! *smiles while giggling* come on!
Riley: ughh, no, leave me alone!
Bailey: fine, whatever
she rolls her eyes as she shuts the door behind her. God she is so obnoxious, I can't wait for her to get adopted. I heard a knock at the door a little while later.
Riley: GO AWAY BAILEY!
Grace: *opens the door* knock knock *smiles*
Riley: oh, hi Grace..
Grace: are you sure you don't want to come out, he seems nice. I think he would love to adopt you.
Riley: yeah right! you said that about the other 35 people!
Grace: come on Riley, don't be like this
Riley: it's true! Now get out!
Grace: fine, I'll tell them know you're not feeling well. *walks out*
After a few minutes of sitting, bored, I got up and left my room to get a glass of water. As I am about to walk back upstairs with my water, I see a man standing at the top that looks all too familiar. As my eyes focus on the man's face, the glass drops from my hand as it shatters on the ground. He turns his body towards the sound, we make eye contact, that's when I realize who it is, Colby Brock!?! He rushes down the stairs.
Colby: are you ok?!
Riley: yeah...
Colby: are you sure?
Riley: *nods*
Grace: *runs over with a mop* be a little more careful next time ok Riley?
Riley: sorry
Colby: Riley..nice name
Riley: thank you Colb-
Colby: *laughs*
Riley: heh...
Colby: how old are you?
Riley: 15
Colby: ah yes, I remember 15 like it was yesterday. what a fun age. Though I was a band kid that was severely bullied so I'm sure it's going better for you.
Riley: *shrugs*
Colby: how long have you been here?
Riley: 10 years
Colby: oh damn, that's crazy.
Riley: *nods* yeah it's all I really know
Colby: do you like it here?
Riley: not in the slightest, 99% of people only foster me because they feel bad for me. Nobody actually wants to adopt a teen
Colby: I'm sorry that you feel that way, that's not fair to you
Riley: it's no biggie, I should go back to my room now though.
Colby: oh, ok, it was nice to meet you
Riley: you too *smiles*
I walked back to my room while Colby walked in the opposite direction.
*The next day*
Grace: *walks in* get packed *smiles*
Riley: why?
Grace: you just got adopted!
Riley: mhm, sure I did
Grace: just pack up and come downstairs
Riley: I swear if this is some sick joke, again
I pack up my few things into my backpack and leave my room, walking downstairs.
Grace: I'm gonna miss you
Riley: you know I won't be gone long
Grace: you heard what I said right, you were adopted.
Riley: no, I heard! who is the unlucky person that'll be bored in a week, this time?
Colby: I wouldn't say unlucky
I turn around and see Colby standing there with a smile stretched from ear to ear as my face drops in disbelief.
Riley: are you serious!?
