Amara's pov :
I got into the car with my case worker .
She told me it's time to go to a new placement but this time, it's going to be a long car ride .
We started the ride around 9:45am and i had fell asleep in the car .
I woke up to the car stopping . I looked at the clock on the dash it said 1:12pm .
"Damn so we're really far as fuck from my hometown ." I thought to myself .
"Amara come on, we're here . I'll come in with you ."
I unbuckled my seatbelt, and opened the car door .
Looking around it was a bunch of beat up old houses but the house my case worker was walking up to, was the nicest and looked the best take care of on the block .
I stepped out of the car and started walking up the path to the porch .
We walked in the door and a lady came and greeted me and my case worker .
I walked in looking around at this huge house that looked so little on the outside .
It was quiet on this floor of the house, but you can hear music playing upstairs and people laughing and talking .
"Hi, Amara . I'm gonna be your foster mom ." She said opening her arms to hug me .
I gave her a lowkey light hug, cause it was kind of uncomfortable .
Like, why are you tryna hug me and I don't even know you .
"Foster mom ? This isn't a group home ?" I asked after she finally let go of me .
"No Amara . I wanted to switch it up for you . And I arranged while you were away at the detention center for ms. Carter to foster you . She's great at what she does, and she'll take good care of you ." My case worker said looking around the place .
Ms.Carter : 46 . Amara's new foster mother .
