The Life of an Orphan (a one direction and 5SOS fanfic)

Chapter 2

I walked into the "meet and greet" room, it was just a lame name for where we could possibly meet our "parents". I froze, memories of the past flying through my head as I saw five men, they looked in their early twenties, full of tattoos. I automatically took a liking to the blondie, he was the only one with no tattoos. At least he understood the importance of keeping his skin clean.

Since they were talking to other girls I sat on the couch and put my earphones in. I put my playlist on shuffle and "Heartbreak Girl" by 5 seconds of summer came on. I love them. I could just marry Luke. And Ashton's giggle is adorable. And Calum is so beautiful. And Michael is the only punk one. And I just love them!

I closed my eyes and let myself get lost in the music, until someone tapped on my shoulder. Curse them! I opened my eyes to see blondie standing in front of me. I took my earphones out.

"Hi, my name is Niall! What's your name?" This blondie, I guess his name is Niall, said way to enthusiastically.

"Allyson," I said shyly. I was trying to be polite. If someone isn't nice and polite, when the visitors leave, Ms. May would kill us. Niall smiled at me and shook my hand.

"It's nice to meet you!" He smiled at me and walked off to the curly haired guy. I hoped he didn't like me. 'God dammit you shouldn't have been nice!' I scolded myself as the two started to approach me. I tried to conceal my nerves and sat there fidgeting with my fingers.

"Hi there, love. My names Harry. And you are?" Harry asked me. I almost cried. It looks like Blondie was getting the other boys.

"Hi, I'm Allyson." I said quietly. Keeping my eyes on the ground.

"That's such a beautiful name. So how old are you?" Harry asked me. Okay, he seemed nice enough.

"13." I said.
"13 what? 13 days? 13 months?" He joked. Blondie spared me having to laugh at that lame attempt at a joke by introducing the other guys.

"Allyson, this is Zayn, Liam, and Louis," he said pointing at them. It looks like Zayn has the most tattoos.

"Hi," I said nervously. Ms. May walked over.

"I see you've met Allyson. Is there anyone you like in particular?" Ms. May asked the boys. They all nodded, "that's great! Would you like to adopt today?" Once again they nodded their heads, "Fantastic! Follow me to my office, where you will tell me which children, or child, you took a liking to. Then I will call them to the office and you can get to know them better and then fill out some papers." They nodded and followed her to her office.

The other girls and I waited anxiously in the "meet and greet" room. Minutes later Ms. May came in.

"Kal, Sasha, Belle, and Allyson, come to my office." Ms. May announced our names and we walked to her office. I was scared. Very scared. I didn't want to get adopted. I started shaking.

"Shh calm down," Belle whispered and comforted me. Belle is one of my only friends here. She knows everything that has happened to me. I hugged her, and stopped shaking. I slowly walked into the office. The four of us sat down and waited for someone to speak.

"Well, I will leave you guys to get to know each other and I will be back in 10 minutes." Ms. May said and walked out of the room.

My heart was racing and Belle put her hand on top of mine, "ok well um... I guess one at a time you can stand up and state your name and a few facts about yourself. Unless anyone has other ideas?" Zayn said trying to break the awkward silence. We nodded and Kal stood up.

"Hi my name is Kal Johnson. My favorite color is purple and I like horse-back riding, sleeping, and talking about myself." She curtsied and sat down. Kal is so full of herself. If she was on a talk show all you would here about is Kal! The guys looked at eachother.

Sasha was next, "Hi my name is Sasha Pearly," she giggled like a maniac, "My favorite color is Pink and Purple and girly colors. I love shopping and sparkles! I could shop forever! I like makeup and hate sports!" Ugh. Sasha is such a girly-girl. She always wears something girly and sparkly. She wouldn't be caught dead wearing a T-shirt.

Belle stood up and smiled, "Hi my name is Isabelle Smith. But everybody calls me Belle. I like the colors gold and silver and yellow. My favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast. Ironic huh. I like books and movies. And I don't know what else to say." She smiled and sat down. For once the guys looked somewhat satisfied. Belle nudged me and I groaned.
"Do I have to?" I whispered.
"Yes!" She whisper-exclaimed.
"But I don't want to!" I said grumpily. She pushed me up. The guys looked amused.

I stood up, "Hi. My name is Allyson Sears. My nickname is Ally or Al. I like the colors blue and red. I like listening to music and reading. I like shopping, sometimes. I like playing soccer and basketball and volleyball. I can be active when I want to be. I like going to school to be with my friends." I sighed and sat down. Shortly after Ms. May came in and shooed us girls out.

Ms. May followed us out, "Start packing just in case." And then walked back in her office. The four of us walked upstairs.

"I'm totally gonna be the one to go so you guys can just forget about packing. Especially you Allyson. Who would want you?" Kal and Sasha walked away and laughed. Belle followed me to our room, we have to share a room.

"Ignore them. They totally loved you. I think it will be you." Belle said and took down my bag.

"I don't know. I don't even want to be adopted," I sighed and started neatly folding and putting my clothes into my suitcase. Belle shrugged and helped me.

A few minutes later I said, "you can stop helping me and start packing your bag." I continued gathering my belongings and neatly putting them in it.
"Why would I do that? It'd be a waste of time." I would've argued but I'm just not in the mood. I sighed and put my final outfits in my suitcase. Belle started gathering my knickknacks and putting the fragile ones in small boxes. I pulled a box out from under my bed and dusted it off. I opened it and looked at all my elves. They were collectibles. Very breakable. My grandma would buy them for me when we went on trips. I have quite a bit. I put the lid back on and lifted it onto my dresser. I heard my name get called from downstairs. Belle looked at me and gave me a sad smile.

I walked down the stairs. Ms May smiled at me.

"I hope your almost done packing! Your leaving! So hurry up and finish." She said venomously and walked away. I ran up the stairs to my room.

"Alright. Hurry up and help me. I'll miss you so much," I said and started crying.
She held me close and then started packing the rest of my stuff. She walked into the bathroom and gathered my bathroom appliances and added those to my suitcase too. By the time she finished I had calmed down and added my electronics to my suitcase. I grabbed my big suitcase and stood it up. I hugged Belle so tightly she couldn't breathe. We hugged for a few minutes until I heard my name.

"Bye, Belle. I'll miss you so damn much."

"I'll miss you too, Allyson. I'll miss you too." I grabbed my box of elves and Belle took my suitcase.

"Hi!" Niall greeted me at the bottom of the stairs. I smiled and hugged Belle goodbye one last time. Niall took my suitcase and we walked outside, where the other boys were already in the car. Well two cars. Niall walked to the car where Harry was. And Liam, Louis, and Zayn started up the other car.

"Starbucks!" Niall told Liam and Liam nodded and drove away. Wow. Am I really getting starbucks again? Ok! Fine with me!

My insides were jumping as I sat in the car. Niall put the suitcase on the floor, and I kept the elves on my lap.

We drove to the Starbucks and ended up going through the drive-thru. I got the Vanilla Bean Frap this time.

"So what school do you go to?" Harry asked sparking conversation.

"Edison middle school." I replied, hoping I wouldn't have to change schools.

"That's awesome! Now you won't have to switch schools!"Niall exclaimed. That is a relief. I smiled.

"We're here," Harry said getting out of the car.
