The Adventures of Amber Brock

Chapter 1: Welcome to Frisco

I was waiting in the airport. Waiting for my next family. Most likely gonna hate 'em. How it all turns out for me. They take me in, love me for a day, next, they abuse me, or ignore me. Then I run. The funny thing is they usually never send anyone to look for me. No amber alerts. Funny cause that's my name. Amber. No last name. Jeez this whole paragraph is depressing, sorry bout that, let's get back to the story shall we?

By now I have been sitting here in this dang airport for maybe an hour..? Kinda lost track of time, I played on my tablet the whole trip. Now it's dead. *screams internally*.  I wait a minute or two, don't see them. So I just walk out, grab a taxi, and get the heck outta here. I payed the man his money, and told him to take me to China Town, cuz I kinda always wanted to go.

We drove off passing reuniting family's, vacationers, once in a while I just saw one kid standing there. Like me.

We eventually drove out of the busyness of the airport annnnnd got stuck in traffic. *screams internally again*. We waited what felt like hours and the taxi man and I never said a word since we left the airport, so what did he do? Well! He put on the most obnoxious music ever oh and not to mention the honking of cars and screaming people! Eventually I just tried to drone everything out, and for the first time, I looked out and saw huge buildings left and right, towering up to what looked like REALLY high. It felt strange being in a big city like this. I'm more used to smaller cities or a town in the middle of nowhere. I would look to sidewalks, what I saw made me almost yelp. Lines and lines of homeless people, and on top of that, normal people just ignoring them like some animals. I couldn't help but feel sorry for them, and hate the others who ignored them.

After the LONG ride from the airport,the taxi man dropped me off at a random location near China town..? I think? Yeah. Definitely China town.  The sun was setting and the red Chinese lanterns started turning on. People bustling around buying foods I have never seen before, strange new smells entered my nose, made me want to buy something, but I had to save. I checked out each booth, trying samples until I was no longer hungry from skipping lunch. Kinda made me happy, this whole place gave me a happy feeling, I don't really know why. Maybe it's the fact that this is the city I always wanted to visit. And here I am! Yay!

As I was looking around at shops and booths, it started drizzling. Great. I started walking, looking for a place of shelter, but I was unfortunate. Shops were closing, and people were heading home to get out of this obnoxious rain. Which left me alone in the middle of the street. My curly, short brown hair, is now sticking to my face, and my red converse are now a dark red. Great! Pneumonia! So just so I won't get anymore sick than I probably will be, I pulled my hood over my soaked head.

I started searching for a hotel, found one but of course, the receptionist lady told me to go home. If that doesn't work, which it didn't cause, ya know, I'm 15. I just beg some some stranger to let me stay in their apartment. I know that sounds bad...but! I know how to fight, called karate. So I found this old looking, cheap apartment complex. Schular. Nice name. So I climbed to the 3rd floor, I knocked on all the doors, some opened, they tried to hit me, haha. I ran. So I take that as a sign from God. I came to the very last door at the end of the hall. Knocked. It opened! Yay! My luck is so good today (kinda).
The man who answered wore a tan sweatshirt, and looked depressed. We have something in common then!
"Can I help you?" The man asked, with a droned tone.
"Oh, I uh, need a place to stay." I said like a pro.
He took one look at me.
"Lemme guess. You're new to this city?"
I stood shocked he guessed that on the FIRST try. "How did you know?"
He stared at me. " I know because if you've lived here long enough, you know it's a bad idea to ask for a place to stay in a random person's apartment. You're lucky I'm a nice guy."
"So....I can come in..?" I said, not so pro like.
He thought for a moment, felt like hours before he decided. "Sure kid. Just for one night. Aight?"
"Deal."

Ok this was a short chapter. Actually the first time I made a story on Wattpad. So ye. The next chapter will hopefully be better and more interesting. I came up with the idea of Amber, when me and my friend were bored and decided to do a little role playing, and BAM I came up with the idea of  Eddie adopting a daughter. Aight enough of background stuff. Let's get to work!
