Emma's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ugh! That was horrible!" I yelled. "You didn't even eat it Emma. It wasn't even that bad." my friend Lexi said as she walked in our room after me. Lexi was my only friend from the orphanage and is always with me even when I don't want her to be. "Well I ain't eating it even if you force fed me it." I said while I sat on my bed. Lexi sat down right next to me. "Emma, please. You have to eat something. You did this yesterday too an-" she was saying but she got cut off. "It's fine Lexi." I said impatiently. I turned and faced the wall and said, "Sorry Lex it's just... I'm not in the mood for this. I'm not hungry and my stomach hurts. I think I'm going to lay down because I'm really tired." "Okay, well I will be downstairs with the rest of the kids. It's Friday which means it's game night and Mrs. Gigi is making her chocolate cake. I will tell them you don't feel good and I will sneak you a piece of the cake." she said as she walked to the door. "Thanks Lex, your the best." "I know." she said as she walked out of the room and closed the door. I giggled and closed my eyes. As soon as I knew it I was sound asleep.
*WHACK*
"OWWW!" I yelped as I sprung up. Wow it's already morning. "Lexi," I whined, "why did you have to fricken throw a pillow at me?" "I had to wake you up somehow." she said. "But a pil-" I started. "Aye it was either that or a book and I thought I was being nice." she said and put her arms up in surrender. I gave her a dead, cold, don't mess with me stare, also known as the death stare. "What's so important that you had to throw a pillow at my fricken face?" I asked obviously annoyed. "And I'm not answering that one. See for yourself." she said and threw our calender at me. I looked at the date. Wow it's adoption day. "OHHHHHH! Well that explains it... but it still doesn't explain why you had to throw a fricken pillow at my fricken face!" I yelled as I pointed to my face. She just giggled. She walked into our closet that we shared. We had the same style and we are the same size so we share our clothes. "Hey can you get me an outfit that would look nice today please? Oh and some shoes. Thanks." I said as I started brushing my long blonde hair. As soon as I knew it I tripped over something that had just been thrown at me. "Okay, I get the pillow and kind of the calender but my own clothes! Are you fricken kidding me Lex! What's up with that?" I yelled as I picked it up. "Hey sorry, I don't know. I was always known for my great throwing and aim." she said. "Well what the frick were you aiming at!?" I stated. I got changed and curled my hair and did my makeup. As I walked out of the bathroom door I saw that Lexi was changed and ready to go. Lexi asked what time it was so I looked at the clock. "12:30. Why?" I said as her eyes got big. "EMMA! MRS. GIGI TOLD US TO BE DOWN THERE AT 12:00! WE ARE 30 MINUTES LATE! This happened last time remember and nobody was able to adopt us!" she yelled. "Lex, why didn't you tell me that before? Lets go before we get killed!" I said as we ran out of the room and down the stairs. Everyone was lining up and people were walking in. We rushed and tried to sneak in line as if we had been there the whole time. "Late again girls?" Mrs. Gigi said walking up to us. "Uh... no ma'am." I said. "Okay. Don't be late again." she said and I smiled at Lexi. "EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!" Mrs. Gigi yelled, "Our visitors that are looking to adopt children have 2 1/2 hours left, but we will be having more hours tomorrow for adopting." Lexi and I exchanged looks and she grabbed my hand. "Don't worry M, we will get adopted sooner or later. It's just more people are looking to adopt younger kids than 16 year olds. Maybe tomorrow or maybe next month. I don't know." she said looking me in the eyes. "But Lex, we have been here for almost 7 years and nobody has even thought about adopting us." I said thinking about what she said. Maybe she was right or at least I hope she was. Then as if on key a group of boys walked in and up to Mrs. Gigi. They asked if there were any older teens up for adoption and they were looking to adopt one or two. They were cute, especially the one with the blonde hair and the beanie.
