The Big Day

I woke up to a loud scream right in my ears today. Low and behold it was Jack playing horror games on YouTube in my earbuds. I was now fully awake and ready to start the day. I got out of my top bunk while the other girl I share a room with was still asleep.

I took a double take of my phone and I read: adoption day. "Oh yay" I sarcastically said to myself as I got my booper dooper hoodie out of my side of the closet. "Another chance to fuck up at meeting people" I said quietly as I slipped on some black no-show socks and ripped Jean shorts. It was a blazing day outside and the only reason I put a hoodie on was to cover my small cuts and scars. I only cut occasionally when I'm bored and found nothing to do on YouTube.

Anyways, I brushed my hair and teeth and headed downstairs for breakfast. We had some eggs, bacon, orange juice, and toast arranged as a smiley face. It was delicious but some of you people would call me a monster for brushing my teeth and then drinking orange juice. And what I say to that is it was an accident and I made a huge mistake doing that.

Anyway, I slipped back upstairs and waited until noon because that was the time the people would come to adopt. I took out my fully charged phone and read 9:18. I sighed and thought "why cant this be over sooner?" And I took out my phone to see what videos came out already.

It was now 11:50 and I thought of whatever could make my presence more appealing. I decided nothing was wrong with me so I waited for Mrs.lack to ring the bell that alerts all of us to the adoption office. The adoption office was just a desk and another small room so the adults could meet the kids in private. When the bell rang I sauntered downstairs as slow as I could but it was a big load of adults today so it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I skimmed over the soon to be parents very slowly and found mostly younger couples and scattered here and there were couples in their 40s and 50s. But one that caught my eye was a single slightly taller man with bright green hair and no one else with him. I then skipped straight to his face and my prediction was right. There standing in front of me was none other than Sean McLoughlin. I almost screamed but remembered I dont need that attention. So I just stood there. Quiet and amazed. But my self confidence was not at its highest point so I doubted that I was the one he was looking for. So I put my long hair in my face and waited to meet the first adult that was looking for an older child.

Gladly most of the people skipped over the older children section. But when Sean got into the small room Mrs.lack announced that he wanted children capable of taking care of themselves if he's not at his house for a day or two. There was a couple 12 and up children but close to none of them actually knew how to cook and shower regularly. I dont really count that as taking care of themselves but they were cute so I figured to some people it wouldn't matter.

Anyway, when I finally got in the small room with him he seemed happy when he saw my hoodie. "So what's your name?" He asked in a calm tone. "I'm (y/n) (l/n) and I'm 14." I said quietly but loud enough he could hear it. "Nice. Assuming by your hoodie you know who I am?" He asked quizzically. "Yup your Sean or Jack McLoughlin." I said as I looked at his face. He gave out a little hum, sat up, and asked "you're not like other kids here, are you?" I replied with "I wouldn't describe myself as like the other kids." He smiled and sent me out of the room.

I was the last one out so Mrs.lack went in and asked him if he would like to adopt one of us. As soon as they both came out she pointed at me and told me to get my stuff. I couldn't even think. My feet just carried me to my room to get the small amount of stuff I had.
