Cricket's PoV:
"Girls, get dressed!!! It's Adoptiton Day!!" I was awoken from my restless sleep to the sound of Lauren shouting down the hallway. Lauren was a worker at our orphanage, as well as my only friend. I groaned and rolled over, trying to ignore the fact that it was freezing outside of the covers. About a minute later, Lauren poked her head through my door. "Come on Cricket!!! You gotta get up!!!" She said in a high pitched voice. I turned over to look at her. She was wearing a Team Crafted t shirt, black jeans, and a spider cap along with a pair of Skelton converse. (spooky scary skeletons!) Her black hair with purple and white streaks was hanging in her face, and a blaze rod bracelet was hanging loosely from her left wrist. She walked over to me. "Their serving pancakes..." She whispered in my ear. In a instant, I shot up. Then the floor lurched beneath us.
I fell onto the bed, and Lauren gripped the dresser tightly to keep from falling over. Oh, I forgot to mention this earlier. Lauren and I suffer from this thing called Schizophrenia. Most of you probably don't know what this is, so I'll tell you.
Schizophrenia is a type of mental disorder where non living things, such as floors, walls, and furniture, move around. To normal people, they don't shift an inch. But to us, they race each other down the halls, switch themselves up, and mainly try to troll us. It can get quite annoying from time to time.
Once we finally regained our balance, I ran to my small dresser while Lauren headed over to my dresser to pick out something for me to wear. When I got to the mirror, I took a good look at myself. My midnight black hair stood up all over the place, and my blue-silver eyes where bloodshot from lack of sleep. I grabbed my hairbrush and brushed my hair so that my bangs hung over my right eye with the eletric blue and silver streaks aligned, then got a wet cloth and squeezed a few drops of water into my eyes to get rid of the blood lines. I have myself a quick check. 'Good enough!' I thought to myself.
When I got to my room, I saw Lauren still digging through my drawers looking for clothes. I sighed and went to my closet, pulling out my daily black cloak with eletric blue rims and patterns on the hood. Then I reached over her shoulder, grabbed my belt, a SetoSorcerer shirt, and jeans. Once I was dressed, I grabbed my normal choke collar with a silver endear pearl and my Minecraft Youtubers charm bracelet. It has a charm for every Minecraft Youtuber I watch.
I turned to look at Lauren. "Ready?" I asked, a fake sweetness dripping through my voice. She looked at me and nodded. Then we headed to the cafeteria.
