I woke up with the bright morning sun shining on my face.
"Morning love, its time to get up for school." Adeline said.
"Hmph, ok, if i have to.." i croaked out, my morning voice clear, "whats the time?"
"5:30am darl, but its a 2 hour bus ride to school from here.." adeline said, her voice quieter, sure not to wake the sleeping toddler across the hall. She walked out the door leaving me alone to organise myself. Another new mum and dad, another house that will never be home. Growing up in foster care is tough, really bloody tough, but the unlucky kids in foster care manage to pull through. Well most of them anyway.
I swing my legs over the side of the bed and haul my body upwards, making my way to the bathroom. I look in the mirror, glad i showered last night, because this face and hair needs all the help it can get. i get my hair straightener out and straighten my jet black hair. i then apply the small amount of make up i wear, foundation both luquid and powder, bottom rim eye liner, and mascara. there. done.
By the time i finished my hair and face, its 6:10am. just enough time to get dressed and walk to the bustop. i pull on my black skinnies and a random band T, then i put on my black leather jacket and boots.
I walk down the stairs and go into the kitchen to find my foster carers adeline and coden drinking their morning coffes.
" Morning sweet pea, have a nice sleep?" coden asked.
"Yeah i did, its so quiet here in the country, i love it." i say. i was always so used to living in little houses with 5 or more kids in the house in the middle of a city. My gosh it got noisy.
"Here serenity, i made you some tea, on the go," adeline says handing me a hot mug thingy full of tea, "and theres a muffin in this bag, for your breakfast, all your lunch is in it too."
"Thanks heaps," i say "is my bag by the door?"
"Yep, addie has been preparing like crazy for you," coden sighs.
"Shush, i just want her to be organised," adeline points.
Im chuckle a little, "thanks guys butvi really have to go, the bus will be here soon," i speak.
"Ok love, have a good day," addie says.
"Have fun serenity!" coden calls out.
"Bye!" i yell over my shoulder running to the door grabbing my bag.
I jog down the driveway, around the corner to the bus stop. I look down at my phone, a few minitues to spare. i stand in the shelter, some one obviously made by hand, waiting for the bus.
"Hi." some one says from behind me.
