Quinn's Pov:

It was 10am at the orphanage, I was sitting on my bed while playing games on my iPhone 6. All the other kids where having breakfast in the cafeteria but I wasn't hungry for there shitty food. Suddenly, I head footsteps coming towards the door to my room. It opened to show Mrs Florence.

"Are you having breakfast or are u going to stave?" she said rudely while leaning on the door frame. I put my phone onto my bed with the screen down.
"I'll starve," I replied as she rolled her eyes and slammed my door shut.

Maybe I should go on a walk. Since I was going out, I needed to get dressed so I don't look like an orphan. I chose a plain white t-shit with some black ripped jeans. Basic but looks good I guess.

Quickly, I grabbed my phone and shoved it into the back pocket of my jeans. As soon as I opened my door, I could hear the noise coming from the cafeteria.

I was about to open to front door to go out when Mrs Florence stopped me.
"Where do you think ur going," I turned around to see her stood with her arms crossed.
"On a walk,"
"I don't think so," I rolled my eyes and opened the door,
"Someone is looking to adopted at lunch time," she said.
"Well they won't choose me anyway so I'm going," I walked out the door while flipping her off.

I've never been adopted but if I did get adopted, they would probably just send me back because of my swearing or me being 'stupid'. I pulled out my phone and texted a friend a met at the park. She knew I was an orphan and she didn't really care.

Abby💕

Quinn🖤: Hi Abby
Abby💕: Hi!
Quinn🖤: Wanna meet at the park?
Abby💕: Sure! Be there in 5
Quinn🖤: Will do

The park is only a 5 minute walks away from the orphanage so I should get to there in time. Even if I was a bit late, I'm sure Abby would understand anyway.

Me and Abby were sat on a park bench just talking about whatever came to out minds.
"Someone is looking to adopt today," I said and she looked at me like I was crazy.
"So why aren't you over there?!"
"Because if I get chosen, how will I be able to meet u on a night and have fun"
"You can still drink and smoke when u have a family,"
"They will probably ground me so I can't see you for like a month,"
"Well if you have a family, they won't beat ur ass when you come home drunk or high but they still do that if u stay at the orphanage," we chuckle together.

"Should I go back over there?" I hope she says no.
"Yes, if they chose, you just text me. I will always respond," we smile at each other and say our goodbyes.

I open the front door to see a bunch of 14 year olds (my age) lined up. I was confused untill I say a man next to Mrs Florence looking at a file. Sadly, I couldn't see whose file it was because the mans hand was covering the number.

"And this is Quinn, the girls who I was just talking about," Mrs Florence walked over to me with a fake smile.
"Get to the end of the line u little shit," she whispered in my ear and pushed me towards the back of the line.
"Fucking bitch," I mumbled, Mrs Florence must of heard me since she gave me a death stare. To annoy her, I rolled my eyes and started playing on my phone.

She walked back over to me and took us away from me.
"HEY!" I shouted at her ignoring all the girls looking at me including the guy willing to adopt. Mrs Florence just walked back over to the guy ignoring me.

I crossed my arms and started tapping my foot on the floor while staring at the file the guy was reading. Luckily, I could see the girls number of the file but the rest was covered by his hand. It started with number 5, my file started with number 5 but it won't be mine. He looked interested in whoever file he was reading.

Suddenly, he closed the file (I still couldn't see the number). He nodded at Mrs Florence, she took the file and sighed.
"Everyone go back to their rooms except Quinn," I looked at her with an astonished and confused look. She rolled her eyes.
"You have been adopted by Griffin Johnson, now go pack ur shit," she demanded rudely.

As I was packing my things, Griffin came into the room and tried to start a conversation.
"Hi,"
"Hey," I said with no emotion while throwing my clothes into the suitcase.
"Just want to let you know that I live with 5 other guys,"
"Lovely," I said with sarcasm
He sighed and picked the suitcase up for me.

We walked downstairs to where Mrs Florence was at the door with my phone in her hand.
"Give," she gave me my phone and opened the door for us. Obviously, I flipped her off on the way out.

Griffin seemed to notice but I guess he didn't mind.
