(@tobiuscus, Happy?? :P )

I sigh as I walk back into a place I hoped never to set foot in again.

"Good morning. I found this poor child on the street without a family." The woman spoke. Lies lies lies.

"Oh dear- Lia?What happened? Did they kick you out?" Nelly asks.

"No I just went for a wal-"

"Nonsense. Thats all the girl speaks. She told me that her brother loves her. In that other way." She butts in.

"Lia? Is that true?" Nelly askes suspioucsly.

"No I swear!"

The front doors burst open and the two people I wanted to see have arrived. Mrs Padilla is red faced from anger.

"Not a word." The woman whispers to me.

"Lia! Come on dear. Get in the car," Mrs Padilla says calmly.

"Who are you?" The woman asks.

"Might ask you the same question. I am this childs -by law- guardian !" Mrs Padilla says sternly. I've never seen her so angry.

"I am Stella Hornsby. You left this child out on the streets!" Stella croaked, holding in fake tears.

"She went to talk to Ia-"

"Not now dear."Mrs Padilla interuppts Anthony.

"But-!" I start, then looks down at the floor.

"She told me, personally, that your son loves her, and you kicked her out!" Stella states with confidence. Anthony looks at me, eyes watering. I shake my head and mouth 'I didn't'. Anthony turns away from me.

"I love Lia like she is my own daughter. I would never kick her out." Mrs Padilla replies. How can she be this calm.

"Lia.... LIA!" I hear someone whisper. I look around and see Kira Lewers, my friend from here. She waves and creeps off.

"Excuse me, but she is technically under Mrs Padilla's care. It's her choice whether she takes Lia back" Nelly informs.

Out of the blue, Anthony shouts, "I don't want Lia in our house anymore! I hate her!" And stormes off. I feel tears forming. He still hates me. I'm screwed.

"Hold on a second. I'll go speak to him" Mrs Padilla says and follows Anthony.

"I will go speak to that woman about adopting you." And Stella follows Mrs Padilla.

"Nellypleasedon'tmakemegowiththatcrazypersonbecauseshe'llsendmetoanallgirlsboardingschoolandI'vemadesomanyfriendswhereIamandIloveithere!!" I say all in one breath.

"I can't do anything at the moment. If Mrs Padilla chooses to let you go, I have no option." Nelly replies sympatheticly.

"I get the child. Where are the adoption papers?" Stella demands.

After she fills out the papers, she drags me outside. When she stops to unlock the car, I run. I run past Anthony.and Mrs Padilla and back into the adoption centre.

"Back again Lia!" Nelly chirps.

"Please don't make me go! I love where I am. Please! I beg of you Nelly!" I cry.

"Oi! You don't run off like that, kid!" Stella storms in.

"You will come back with me, you have no choice!" She spat.

The doors open and Mrs Padilla comes up.

"Lia, Anthony would like a word outside." She says.

"No, you are not going out there. She is mine now. Face it!" Stella brags.

I look at Mrs Padilla. I burst out crying.

"Stop crying, you baby!" Stella snapped and slapped me round the face. "I am your mom now, and I will be better than your pathetic one that dropped dead! You do as I say now!" After gaining a few gasps, I punch Stella round the face like I did with Anthony. Damn, I can punch hard.

"You are not my mom. Never say a word against any of my parents. You don't know what they were like. Bitch!" I half cried, half shouted and walked outside to see Anthony.

"Finally! I thought you were having tea and coffee!" He says relieved.

"Sorry," I says drying my eyes. "Just had to punch someone round the face. No biggy!"

"Whoa! Did they make fun of you parents?"

"Yup. What did you want to say?"

"Oh! Right.. Yeah. Urm. How do I put this?" He stammers. "You ready for this?"

"Hit me! Not literally, though!"

"Lia..."

"Yeah...." Then it starts pouring it down with rain.

"Damn you rain! You spoilt the mood!" I yelled at the sky. Then it rained harder. Me and my big mouth.

I turned to look at the adoption centre to see Stella walking out.

"Shiiit.. We have to go!" I say. Anthony looks confused and I point towards Stella. We then run out of the car park and into some field which is all muddy from the current downpour.

"Carry on..."I say.

"Oh yeah. Urm...." He trailed off. Thats when it happened...

He kissed me. Anthony Padilla, the boy who first hated me, then loved me, then hates me, kissed me in the pouring rain.
