A Whole New Life; Book 2: Alone

Chapter 18

Aqua's POV

It's been about five minutes since we left for the interview and we're still not there yet. I take out my skecthbook and a pencil and start drawing Jen and Josh in their interview outfits. I then added myself in between and put colour. And at the bottom, I wrote Family is Forever. My biological parents may have been my real family. But when they abandoned me, it was like the connection we once had was never there. But with Jen and Josh, it feels like the connection between us is more real than with my biological parents. Once I finished, I showed Jen and Josh.

"Maybe you can show them at the interview," says Josh. Do I have to show my art skills to everybody I meet? I really hope they don't bring up archery.

~TEN MINUTES LATER~

Finally, we are there. I let Jen and Josh step out first before I swing my bag over my shoulder a step out. As soon as I slammed the door, I was blinded by flashes of cameras. I wonder if everyone at school is watching. Maybe Cameron might be watching me from New York. I sure hope so. Not because I want him to see me on T.V. But because I want to give him the chance to see how I'm doing so he isn't too worried. I run to vary up with Jen and Josh. I notice Willow and Amandla waiting at the entrance. I run up to the and we do a group hug. Willow is wearing a white dress that goes halfway down her shins and white platform shoes and her hair is held up in a bun. Amandla is wearing a black dress that also goes halfway down her shins and black platforms and her soft brown curls are pulled back into two puffy pigtails.

"You guys look amazing!" I say to them.

"Not as much as you," says Willow.

"I mean, look at your dress. The skirt makes it look like you're wearing fire," says Amandla. After a bit of commenting about each others outfits, we started talking about finding someone for keytar and tambourine for our band and what we're going to call the band when we find people for the last two instruments. Suddenly, it was time to interview Jen, Josh and I.

"Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Alice and today we are here with the two co-stars of The Hunger Games movies, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson," says Alice and the crowd starts to scream.

"So how are you guys?" asks Alice.

"We're good actually. And we're doing better," says Jen.

"Could this have anything to do with the rumours that have been going around?" asks Alice. "Are the Rumours true? Have you became parents?" asks Alice again.

"Yes. But we became adoptive parents. We adopted a fifteen year old girl," says Josh. I bite my lower lip as I wait for the time to walk out there.

"Where is she then?" Alice asks.

"She's here," says Jen as she waves her hand for me to come out. I step into the bright spotlight and am immediately blinded by camera flashes. As I sit down in between Jen and Josh, the cheering dies down.

"So what is your name?" asks Alice.

"Well my full name is long so everyone just calls me Aqua," I say.

"Well that dress makes a good first impression. Would you mind giving us a twirl?" asks Alice. I stand up and start twirling in circles letting the flames fly around me. Now the audience is screaming like a whole bunch of maniacs. I guess I'd be the mini girl on fire if this was The Hunger Games. I twirl around for a few more seconds and sit back down.

"Well that was breathtaking," says Alice. "So what was it like being adopted by Jennifer and Josh?" asks Alice.

"Well I felt really happy because I can finally remember what it's like to be part of a family after fifteen years of being in an orphanage," I say. Alice just asks us more questions. So much that I don't even remember them. After for what seemed like hours of questions, the interview was finally finished. Now all that's left if a party.

Cameron's POV

I watch the interview channel and see Jen and Josh. After a few questions, Aqua-Flower walks into the spotlight. She's wearing a beautiful dress with the clouds they use for fire with lace sleeves, leggings that fade from red to black, boots that go halfway up her shins and her hair is in a French braid. I'm not really paying attention to the interview because I'm to focused on Aqua-Flower. Suddenly, she starts twirling and the skirt of her dress looks like flames flying around her. Oh how I wish I could be there with her. One month down, eleven to go.
