I won’t let it get to me. I refuse. I’ve been adopted for seventeen years and nothing has changed. So why am I letting this consume my life? It shouldn’t, I don’t want it to. I don’t want to lose the life I have just because I’ve become obsessed with my dead mother and a father I’ve never seen before. Why should I even care about him? Of all people, he could have taken care of me but he abandoned me.

KNOCK, KNOCK. My aunts slim figure slips into my room, “How are you kiddo?” “I’ve seen better days. How’s dad. Haven’t seen him lately.” She gives me a smile. “He’s fine, at work. Always crunching those numbers, typical Gorge.” That’s true, dad’s a math whiz. I’ve decided to call him dad; He’s the closest I have to one. “you know, I don’t you why I’m so consumed in this. For what? My piece of shit father and my dead mother, I’ve lived my entire life without them. I don’t want you taking this the wrong way, I’m overly grateful you guys took me in. you and Gorge are my parents and I will love both of you until there isn’t a drop left in me.” I looked at her sternly in the eyes and I saw moisture filling them and just like that she pulled me into a tight hug.

I’m going to try and be more productive. Read a book, join a club. Something that will keep me occupied. So I’ve decided to become a library side and help out there. It would be perfect, an entire library full of book for me to read, everyday. I’m pretty sure that will occupy me for quite some time.

“Haven’t seen you in a while, you look pale, and you’re reading? This isn’t good. It’s never good when you start to read!” Finn remarked while walking towards me in the patio of our school. A smile played on his lips. “Very funny Mr. Casanova. What have you been up to? And I’ll have you know that reading is good for you, maybe you should try it sometime.” I teased. “Hmm. Interesting offer.  Maybe I will. You know J, I’m glad that you’re coming outside more and trying to forget even if it means an excessive amount of reading.” I know his words are sincere, and I like the matter of fact he keeps teasing me, it reminds me of the old times. (Before the ‘adoption’) “You know Finn, I am too.” I gave him a weary smile because I am weary and I know Finn know that I am. He’s always been able to know what’s on my mind.

“Watch where you’re going you no life! What the little girl to busy crying because nobody loves her.” Amy said smirking.  Amy Miller what is there to say that isn’t insulting. I hate her, I don’t know why but she makes it a goal to ruin my life. She is petite and has black hair with dark brown pits for eyes. “ Oh I’m sorry, I was distracted by you nasty face.” And with that, I shoved her and stormed to my first class of the day.
