Adopted. -Smosh Fan Fic- ✔COMPLETED

Lia

I put on a pair of bunny slippers and get out of bed. It was late, and mommy hasn't read me a story yet. She always does, and she tries to get Robbie to read to me as well. He doesn't though.

I walked over to where the books are and pick a different book. Mommy has read this one a thousand times...

I hear a bang, and Robbie runs into my room.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Mhm!" I nod.

"Where's mom?"

I shrug. "She hasn't read me a story yet..."

"Stay here. I'll try and find her." He walks off downstairs.

I sit back on my bed and wait for him to come back with mommy.

It was a long time before he came back, crying.

"I-Is Mrs Lancy outside, L-Lia?" Robbie asks. I look out of the window and nod.

Robbie sits next to me and opens the window.

"Mrs Lancy?!" He yells. She looks up at Robbie and me and waves at us. "Can you come over?.. Uhm, something bad has happened."

Everything passes as a blur, I didn't really understand what was going on. Policemen came over and I was taken next door, to Mrs Lancy's house.

"What's happened?" I ask.

"Well, sweetheart... Something has happened to your mommy and the nice policemen over there are finding out what happened." Mrs Lancy smiles.

"Where will I sleep?"

"We can have a sleepover here! I think John is still awake. You two can camp out in his room."

"Get up! You'll miss breakfast."

I sit up on my bed, the chatter of children walking in the corridor outside giving me a headache. I yawn and get up, moving slowly. My brain says sleep but my stomach says food.

After getting changed into some clothes, I walk on over to the Mess Hall. The name has stuck over the years, even though the carers still call it the Dining Hall. If it's covered with spaghetti during meal times, its a Mess Hall...

"Heya, Lia! Sleep well?" A friend of mine, Annie, asks.

"Yeah.. Just great..." I reply sleepily.

"Did you hear the news?"

"What?"

"Tomorrow, I'll be leaving this place!"

"Wow, lucky you.."

"I know! The family seem really nice! Unlike my real mom, who hated my guts!" She cheers.

"At least you had a mom who didn't drop dead on you."

"But you had your da-"

"Do you even pay attention to the records list? My dad died as well. Your parents are still alive." I stand up, leaving behind a plate of scrambled egg, and walk out of the room.

"Lia? Nelly wants to see you in reception!" Someone calls out. I sigh and walk towards reception.

"...She does tend to become a bit moody- Oh, Leighann! I'd like to introduce you to some people." Nelly, my carer and a receptionist here, chirps.

"It's Lia... Not Leighann." I roll my eyes.

"Sorry.. Anyway, this here is Mrs Padilla and she will be taking you today!"

"It's nice to me-"

"Hold on... What? You mean, I'm leaving... Today?!" I yell.

"Well, yes. That is the plan."

Firstly, I hate the way they plan all this adopting stuff here. It's okay for some people, like Annie, as everyone likes her. Me? I've gone through.. around twenty families in the past three years... and I've been here for ten years. Secondly, I tend to not get along well with the children in the families, and this woman here already has one child.

"I can assure you, Lia, that you'll be welcomed in our home." The woman - Mrs Padilla- says.

"No she won't..." A boy murmers.

"Anthony, behave." Mrs Padilla scolds him. "Sorry about him. He's just grumpy because he is out of bed early."

"Now then, Lia, Mrs Padilla, if you two would like to fill in these forms, that's be great."

"Okay Lia! I am Mrs Padilla, but you can call me 'mom' or whatever you fancy." Mrs Padilla says, driving the car to where they live. I have been dragged out to go live with them. Stupid adoption services... "Sitting in the back there is Anthony. You will be going to school with him as of tomorrow."

We arrive to their house, and I grab my things from the back of the car and bring them indoors.

"If you follow me, Lia, I'll show you to your room!"

I get shown to my new room, and I guess it's okay.. Nothing spectacular or anything...

Afterwards, Mrs Padilla makes some breakfast (even though I've had some) and talks some more.

"Are you allergic to anything?" She asks.

"Uhm... Tomatoes... and... Eskimos. Yeah..." I joke. However, she believes me and starts a conversation on eskimos... Wow..

"Mom, I'm going to see Ian oka-" Anthony starts.

"Take Lia along with you. She could be friends with you both!" Mrs Padilla interrupts.

"Nu-uh! She's won't know anything about what we are talking about!" Anthony protests.

"Take her anyway. Maybe you can explain to her."

"Really, it's fine.. I'm sure I'll make friends at school.." I say.

"Come on both of you. You need to get to know each other. Grab your things and go together!"

Somehow, Mrs Padilla pushed both of us outside. Great!
