Mari's POV

Hi! I'm four years old, and I'm waiting to get adopted! And I've been in this orphanage for as long as I can count years, that's 3 btw. Today a lady with a little boy came in. I hope they want me! So right now I have to act like they're not there, and just ack like I always act. you can only talk to them if they talk to you. it's the rule. I'm drawing pictures of dogs and flowers on a table by myself, because no one really likes me here. I don't know why though. As I'm drawing someone sits next to me. it the boy! "Hi, cwan I dwa wif you?" I stare at him blankly "kk!" Is all I could say. He grabbed a piece of paper and a green crayon and drew either a dragon or dinosaur, idk. As we were drawing the lady called "Cartah! Where are you!! Come on catah don't do tha!" She turned and spotted us drawing. She walked over and sat next to the boy "hey Catah, would you like her to be your new sister since she's the only one not making much mess, or noise. And you came to her first." Carter looked up "yup! I want her as my sister! But only if she's younger!" He said pouting crossing his arms "hey, sweet hart, what's your name?" "I'm Amari but call me Mari pwease, an I'm onwly fouwr wears owld." "would you like to come home with us Mari??" "I wouldn't like to....... I would love too!" "Buuut mooom, she has to be younger then me! She's the same age!!" Carter says dragging out 'mom' and 'but' "oh catah, stahp! Come on Mari I jump to my feet and walk up to the desk to get me out of my 'home' and that's what I call it home. I walk up stairs and pack, as I'm up there I go to my best friend or as I call him 'big brother', but he wasn't related in any way. Sam or Sammy. The only reason he wasn't coloring with me when we were getting looked at to get adopted is because I guess he isn't an age mrs. Reynolds wants, so I walk in and knock on his door. As I'm waiting his roommate answers "Sam! Your little girlfriend is here!" I didn't really understand why he teases Sammy like that, he's 7 and I'm 4, 5 in 2 months. But Sam says he dose it to make him feel bad "what's up squirt?" Sam says as he walk out to be tackled by me in a hug "aw, what's wrong? Is SAMs little girl gonna break up with him?" Asks his roommate in a taunting voice peeking his head out only the door to be shut in his face by Sam. "I'm getting adoptwed s-s-Sammy! I might never come back!" "Shhh, it's ok. I'll always remember you, and please remember me!" He says stroking my back "don't worry, she'll come back for good in like 5 minutes!" Sams roommate says from inside the room "I-I gotta go, bye Sam I love you," "i love you too!" He says kissing me on the cheeks, forehead, temples, then a quick peck on the lips (in a friendly way) "don't pretend like I didn't see that!" His roommate yells. Sam kicks the door only to receive a groan. I pull my small bag down the hall. This will be an adventure....
