adopted by phan

chapter one

ashleys pov

i wake up to my alarm blaring, the loud sound harsh against my ears. i sigh and force myself to get up, wincing at the sudden movement. i quickly put on my school uniform and pack my bag before walking downstairs to get breakfast. at least thats one good thing about living in an orphanage -the food. i look at my crappy iphone 4 from when i was ten and see that its 8.40; i have ten minutes to get to school. squealing, i grab a piece of toast and run out of the building, not believing my luck at avoiding Morgan, a horrible bully who for some reason has a particular interest in me.

however, i think far too soon and am soon greeted with the all too familiar voice i now know to associate with, well, pain. its morgan. she punches me in the nose and i fall to the ground. i feel the hot blood trickling down my face before i even register the pain. she knees me in the stomach, making me double over and i beg her to stop, but she just laughs and hits me again. im trying to re-gain my strength when she pulls my hair so hard it stings and i swear i see a chunk of it clenched in her fat fist. i groan.
finally, after what seems like hours, shes stopped by the bell ringing for the start of school. she gives me one more punch, smirks and says "ill see you later, fag" before running off.
i quickly scan through my injuries, nothing's broken, thank god. i re-tie my hair, pull up my hood and limp to my first lesson.

of course im late, and to make things even worse my teacher shouts at me for another 10 minutes with the whole class sniggering at me. my cheeks flaming, i sit down and doodle on my book for the rest of the lesson.
i trudge from one class into the next and soon its the end of the day. it only takes me ten minutes to walk back to the orphanage but by the time i get there i am exhausted. i fall onto my bed and pick up my ipad, one of the things i grabbed when i left home, as well as my iphone 4, a picture of my parents and my teddy ive had since i was born (his name is PJ). I go onto youtube and see i have a new notification: DanielHowell has uploaded a new video. i immediately open it and get dressed as i watch.
i dont actually own any pyjamas so i change into an oversized t-shirt and shorts. the video makes me laugh a couple times, like usual. after it finishes i decide to re-watch some old DanAndPhilGames episodes when i get a knock at the door. mrs june comes in "ash, honey we've got a couple coming in ten minutes so can you get dressed and come downstairs?" she asks
"sure" i reply with a quick nod of the head.

10 minutes later im downstairs, wearing jeans and a stranger things t-shirt, standing in line with all the rest of the kids aged 11 to 15. what a strange age to choose, i think, most people go for the young ones. i slip in my earphones and let the music shuffle play. after ive listened to a couple of songs, i look up to see my two idols standing in front of me. its dan and phil, i think. i turn bright red and quickly pull out my earphones.
"hi" phil says
"h-h-hello" i say, silently cursing my stutter.

me and phil have been thinking about adopting a kid for a while now. we both want a girl who's around 13 years old because we need some feminine views around the house! no but seriously, we're going to adopt a girl today!

~time skip~

we arrive at the orphanage and its quite small. im so nervous now and i know phil can tell because he grabs my hand and squeezes it reassuringly. i look up at him and smile gratefully, then together we walk up the steps and through the door. inside, there are about 9 or 10 girls all lined up. however, one catches my eye; shes got gorgeous blonde hair and a big brown eyes. shes got earphones in and doesnt notice us. we have a quick chat to all of the girls, until we finally
get to the girl on the end. we walk up to her and she looks up, sensing we're there. as soon as she lays eyes on us she seems to get really shy and her cheeks turn pink. maybe shes a phan.
is that a good thing or a bad thing? i honestly don't know.
phil says hi and she replies with a hello, though she stutters a bit.
shes so cute

"im dan" i say
"i know"
my heart jumps when she says that and i must have looked a bit surprised so the girl quickly says "y-yeah ive s-s-seen you g-guys on youtube b-before. i g-guess im a b-b-big phan?"
"okay then," phil smiles, "whats your name?"
"a-ashley" she replies.
"well then ashley- cute name btw, can you tell us a bit about yourself? what are your hobbies?" she giggles and answers
"i like w-watching youtube, reading and listening t-to music."
"me too" i say, smiling.
she returns the smile as mrs june tells them all to go upstairs. she waves to us and we wave back.

i walk back upstairs and am lying on my bed with my earphones in watching youtube when someone opens the door. i quickly sit up, startled but its only dan and phil.
"sorry," phil grimaces, "i did knock."
they look around my titchy room and i blush when they start to stare at my drawings.
"WOW! did you draw them?!" dan asks
"umm, yeah but they're not very good" i say quietly looking down at the floor.
"not very good !" phil repeats "they're fudging amazing!"
" 'fudging' phil are you kidding its f-"
"DAN! NOT IN FRONT OF OUR DAUGHTER !"
"daughter ?" i say, confused
"oh yeah!" phil says excitedly "how would you like me and dan to adopt you?"
