Smith's P.O.V

I looked at all of the teenagers that were lined up along the wall. All most all of them were just chatting with one another except one girl who was just leaning against the end of the hallway, listening to what seemed to be her music. I turned about to ask Ross why we were here in the first place again when I was cut off by the sound of high heels echoing around the room. I titled my head upwards to be met by the eyes of an older woman who seemed to be in her early 50's.

"Hello and welcome to London's Adoption Center," she said in her sickly sweet voice, "I am Allison Lee, the owner of this beloved place, who shall be adopting?"

My eyes shifted towards Ross and Trott to see their reactions towards the lady's uncomfortable sweetness, but only seemed to be enjoying the introduction.

"I shall be the one adopting today," Ross said stepping forward, "I'm looking for a sister to keep me company on really lonely nights..." he continued beginning to fake cry.

Trott and I found this quite amusing, but Allison didn't. She just rolled her eyes and proceeded to walk over to a microphone.

"ALL GUYS, PLEASE FILL BACK INTO YOUR ROOMS!" she said into the mic which blared out of the overhead speakers.

I watched as all of the teenage boys began to walk back into their rooms with sadness in their eyes. I kind of felt bad, but then again, this was all Ross' choice.

Faith's P.O.V

"ALL GUYS, PLEASE FILL BACK INTO YOUR ROOMS!" blasted through the speakers as I took the buds out of my ears.

I looked down the hallway to see only about 13 other girls giddily jumping up and down with excitement that their chances of being adopted has grown. I just rolled my eyes and was about to insert my earbuds again when Payton walked up to me.

"OMG, I can't believe I'm getting adopted!" she squealed into my face as she began dancing like a moron around the hallway.

"You know, just because the guys are gone, doesn't mean you will be the one to get adopted." I said to her with a smirk on my face.

She simply responded by flipping me off and walking back to her spot on the wall. I tried by best not to start and laugh at her reaction to my comment but I couldn't help it. I burst into laughter as began sliding down the wall. I used my hand to try and muffle my laughs but it was no use.

"Excuse me, Miss Skidmore, but what seems to be so funny?!" I immediately stopped laughing as Ms. Lee yelled at me.

"Nothing," I replied, not looking up to make eye contact with her.

"Could you at least meet our guests instead of being rude and sulking at your horrible outfit?" she screamed again, making me wince.

I slowly stood straight up and lifted my head to be met by the faces of the beautiful Hat Films. My eyes widened with disbelief as I tried to open my lips to say something but only a squeak came out. I slapped my hands over my mouth in embarrassment as Trott and Smith just started to chuckle. My cheeks turned a dark shade of red from the 2 laughing at me, but Ross just seemed to smile, becoming interested in the girl that couldn't speak.

"Tell me about yourself," he stated not seeming to want to look at the other teenagers.

"Um, my name is Faith Skidmore, I'm 19, I like to play volleyball, video games, and guitar, and I practically live on YouTube," I whispered, not trusting myself to speak at full volume in case of another squeak fest.

"Mr. Hornby, would you like to look-" but Ms. Lee was cut off by Ross' speaking.

"No, I would like to adopt Faith," he said, turning to Ms. Lee, "Where do I sign?"

Ms. Lee looked as if she had just seen an elephant fly out of the kitchen.

"Oh, are you sure Mr. Hornby, we have many other wonderful children in this center..." but Ross' decision didn't seem to be changing.

"No, now where do I sign?" starting to sound irritated by Ms. Lee's outburst.

"Miss Skidmore, go get packed," I nodded, keeping my head down as I went, "Now please, follow me this way," she gestured towards the front desk at the 3 Hat Films lads followed her.

I finally made it up to my room, hurrying to get my bag and my few clothes out of the closet. In less than 5 minutes I was done and ready to get out of this hellhole. I sat in my room not knowing whether I was supposed to stay in my room or walk back down the stairs, but that didn't matter at that moment.

"I'm getting adopted by the H in Hat Films," I whispered to myself, "I'm being adopted by THE H IN HAT FILMS!!!" I screamed, not being able to contain my excitement anymore.

I began jumping on my bed and doing cartwheels across the floor when I was quickly interrupted.

"MISS SKIDMORE," Ms. Lee screamed at me, "YOU ARE A 19 YEAR OLD WOMEN, GET DOWN FROM YOUR BED THIS SECOND!"

I looked down sheepishly as I climbed down from my old bed, I could hear Hat Films snickering behind her as she reprimanded me for my childishness.

"Are you ready for the long ride back to Bristol?" Trott asked, gesturing towards the door.

I just nodded, still not trusting myself to speak in front of them. Just as I was about to grab my bag, Smith took it from me and started down the stairs. I began to run after in pursuit of my bag for diary was in there.

Yes, I am a 19 year old with a diary, deal with it...

Smith was all the way down the stairs when I came to the top. He saw me leaning over the top of the railing and began to wave at me with a cheeky grin. I jumped on top of the banister and began to slide down, gaining speed as I went. Smith's eyes widened with fear as he saw me come barreling down the stairway.

"OH SHIT!" he screamed as I went crashing into him, landing on top of him.

I rolled off of him and began laughing my ass off as I saw Smith's expression. He looked as if he almost got eaten by a lion. Trott and Ross stood at the top of the stairs, doubled over in laughter. I stood up and grabbed my luggage off the floor. I started off towards the door with luggage in hand when I turned back around to see if Smith was okay. I walked back over to Smith and put my hand out to help him back up. He just looked at my hand, then looked at the ground, then looked at my hand again.

"Are you gonna take my hand or not?" I asked him, raising my eyebrow.

After he finally took my hand, he bolted up and started running out the door grabbing my luggage as he went. The 2 other lads chuckled as my jaw dropped with disbelief.

"NOW, are you ready to go?" Ross asked me, putting his hand on my shoulder as he spoke.

"I would be crazy to say no," I smiled back to him.

Trott, Ross and I headed out to the car as Smith just stood, holding my luggage above his head as if to make sure I didn't grab it.

"Why don't you just put my luggage in the trunk of the car?" I asked, questioning his interesting ways.

"Because Ross has the keys..." he mumbled back to me, making me laugh as Ross finally unlocked the car.

Smith placed my luggage in the trunk as Trott and I filed into the back. Ross got into the driver's seat and Smith got into the passenger's seat.

"Time for the long ride home," Ross stated as I became comfortable in backseat and proceeded to fall into a deep sleep.

A/N

I hope you enjoy this new chapter. I'm so sorry it sucked! It wasn't as good as I thought it was going be, but I guess it turned out okay for a 2nd chapter. Later on in this story I might need ideas for new characters and that is where you will come along. I will give you more details about that in the future when it is needed. I will try and upload new chapters as much as I can! I might be making a schedule soon, depending on if I have steady times where I can just write to my heart's content.

Byeeeeeee
