(a week later)
"Adalyn! Chandler! Alexander!" dad's deep voice echoes throughout the house.
"Yes sir?" I ask when I reach the living room. He woke me up.
"You all sit down," he says and motions us towards the couch.
Where's the little demon? Oh, I see her. She's behind mom's leg.
"We have talked to OCS and all the adoption services and they're allowing us to have full custody," she says.
I'd be happy not to go back to Louisiana and see Hannah after learning about my past.
"I'd love to stay here!" I exclaim and she hugs me.
"I'm on the same boat with Adalyn," Chandler smiles and I hug him,too.
"What about you, Alexander?" dad asks. He looks down before answering;
"I don't really want to be here. I miss my foster parents. You waited way too long to have me back. I don't love you guys," he says before storming off. That was a shocker.
He did not just say that.
"I understand where he is coming from. It just hurts a whole lot, and I'm um going to go to my room," she looks like she's about to break down.
Dad leaves with her, but the demon stays. I don't even remember her actual name. Oh well, I don't care.
"I want pizza," I say out of the blue.
"It is almost lunch. We can go by Hungry Howie's," he says.
"Who would drive us?" I ask.
"We don't need a chauffeur, we have skate boards," he smiles deviously.
"I can't ride a skate board or any board!" I exclaim and laugh a little bit.
"Maybe we could walk. It's not far away," Lucas shrugs his shoulders.
"Yeah," I agree and go upstairs to change into regular clothes.
I quickly change into some shorts and a t-shirt and re-brush my hair. I walk to mom's room and tell her that Chandler and I are going to eat and ask if she wants anything.
"Can you bring your little sister?" she asks. I nod my head and shove my wallet and phone into my back pocket.
"Chandler, we have to bring our little sister. What even is her her name," I laugh at the last part and see that he's texting someone.
"Is it okay if Clay comes along with Sam and Matthew?" he asks.
No.
"Yeah, they can come," I smile and help Jazmine. I think that's her name. We leave the house shortly and meet up with Clay, Sam, and Matthew at Clay's house.
"Ready for food!" Clay smiles brightly and Ava runs over to him. What?
"Hey, Jazmine. I haven't seen you in forever. Do you want me to go get Lilly?" he asks her. She nods her head fastly and Clay disappears for a moment to retrieve Lilly.
"Hey, Adalyn!" Sam smiles and gives me a side hug. Matthew just stands there scrolling on his phone. Well dang.
"Jazzy!" I hear a high pitched scream and see Lilly running outside. They give each other hugs and then we start walking.
"Can Lilly and I have our own table?" Ava asks.
"How about a table for just girls. Boys are yucky," I make a weird face and they start laughing. Maybe Jazmine isn't so bad.
"Yeah, I was yucky when we were kissing that night," Clay starts laughing and I stop in my tracks.
"Last time I recall, I rejected you for Lucas," I snap and start walking faster with the girls.
"Clay is a big meanie," Lilly points out and starts to giggle.
I don't add onto her comment, but I snicker a little bit.
--------
When we arrive at Hungry Howie's I order a small pepperoni pizza for is girls to eat and buy us each a drink.
We sit away from the boys and I notice someone walk in. Victoria and some other girl. She has blonde hair just like Victoria, but her eyes are green, and she looks like she's around my age.
"Well, hello, Adalyn, where's Lucas?" she asks and the girl follows her.
"With his mom," I tell her and continue to eat.
"Oh, this is my sister, Amanda. She's your age. Why don't you hang out with her. You don't really have any friends and I don't like her anyway," she states and walks away.
"I'm sorry about my sister, she's a bit of a Uhm b . I don't like to curse," she apologizes and stands there awkwardly.
"Why don't you sit down and eat with us. Hungry Howie small pizzas are like larges," I laugh and scoot over in the booth.
"Thank you, and like Vicki said, I'm Amanda," she smiles and pushes her glasses up.
"I'm Amanda," I smile and Ava and Lilly join in the choruses of hellos.
"Adalyn, did you get the text from mom?" Chandler speaks.
"No, why?" I ask.
"She wants us to bring her home something from Taco Bell," he says.
"Okay, we'll get it on our way home," I tell him and continue to talk to Amanda.
"So, I heard you're from Louisiana," she brings up.
"Yeah, it was pretty cool down there," I say and shove a piece of pizza into my mouth.
Amanda laughs at my facial expression when Matthew takes a picture of me eating pizza and tells me that he's putting it on insta.
I swallow the food before answering ;
"Good to know, Sherrill!" I do a thumbs up and take a sip of coke.
"How did you know about me being from Louisiana?" I ask.
"My sister is a bit of a stalker when it comes to Lucas' girlfriends. She's a bit obsessed with him. He's oblivious to it," she states and picks up a slice of pizza.
"That's nice to know," I laugh a little bit.
I wonder if Amanda is as bad as Victoria...
