Foster Kids

Cherry

I walk into the cafeteria. I see Jacob waving his hand for me to come sit with him. I walk over to his table and sit with my hands in my lap and head down. "Guys this is Cherry, she's in some of my classes." Jacob says.

"H-hi" I say.

"Cherry?" Someone asks.

"huh?" I say without looking up.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"She's shy." Jacob says. I look up.

"So what's you names?" I ask.

"I'm Scarlett!" The girl with the pretty long blond hair and curly bangs said.

"Andd I'm Max." the cute guy with black hair and soft pink lips says.

"Ally." the girl with the long brown hair with blond highlights that kinda looked like Hailey said.

"So is she your girlfriend?" Max asks Jacob. I blush and I think he does too. "No." He says rudely.

"You mean not yet." Ally smirks. I laugh and so does everyone, but Jacob. We eat. I get up to throw away my food and see Hailey, "Hai-" I began to say when she sticks her foot out and trips me. Everyone laughs. I blush and then someone touches my shoulder and helps me up I finally see who it is, it was Max not Jacob. I was sad that it wasn't Jacob, but I'm glad someone was there. We walk back over to the table I sit next to Jacob. "You have a little something on you shirt." I look down and see mustard on my shirt. I glare at him and Ally says, "I might have an extra shirt in my locker, come with me." I walk with her. She opens her locker. "Crap." she almost yells.

"what?" I ask quietly.

"I cleaned out my locker yesterday. I don't have any shirts."

"oh" I say.

"Here take my jacket." she hands it to me and we walk back into the cafeteria. Max looks at me and whistles flirty. Jacob elbows him in the side and I smile.

When we get home Hailey's mom looks at me, and yells at me to go change. I put my head down and walk up stairs. Hailey turns around and says, "you can take a shower." I look at her. I always felt weird taking showers at other people's houses. I realize, wait, this is my house "Well, are you going to take a shower?" I nod and grab some clothes and run into the bathroom.

I look at myself in the mirror, and think 'what the heck am I thinking? Thinking that Jacob will like me? I turn on the shower about to get in, when I hear Hailey on FaceTime, "I don't regret it." she said. Her friend said something else I couldn't hear. "That bad? she's horrible! Her hair, her eyes, I don't understand how Jacob can even stand near her." I let a tear fall and hop in the shower. As I wash my hair and body (Not getting into detail Promise!). I think my Foster Sister hates me, My foster Mom abuses me, and to top it all of my Dad doesn't even want me! I get out and get dressed. I open the door. Hailey is just starring at me like I did something wrong. I go sit on my bed and Hailey's Mom calls me down stairs. I run down stairs and when I get there she hits me for running, then says, "I got you this." and hands me a IPhone. "If you go over you limits I'll take it away!" she pushes me and yells at me to go up stairs. I get on Facebook and find Jacob, Max, Ally, and Scarlett and send them friend requests. Jacob awswers quickly and Private Messages me.

Jacob: Hey, you have Facebook!

Me: Uh, ya I'm not a social outcast

Jacob: Hey, what's your number?

Me: why?

Jacob: Well, because my new "best friend" is facebooking me and not texting me!

He puts quotations around best friend what the heck dose that mean.
