Adoptions always confused me. I don't know why; I've been in the system for Thirteen years now and don't understand how someone can look at a kid and say - "I'll take them".
Anyway, that happened to me two weeks ago. some random family who calls themselves 'the Swansons' decided they wanted a 16-year-old Australian to move in with them in Los Angeles. at first, I didn't want to, but soon I realised it's so much better than being here in this crowded foster home.
(Title - High in California - is based on the song by Louis Tomlinson with the same name)

"𝔼𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕐 𝔽𝔸𝕄𝕀𝕃𝕐 ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕊𝔼ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝕊" - - - "My name is Hazel, but most people call me Ze. I'm from Melbourne, and love Taylor Swift." I cringe at my own words, and think back to a time where Fletcher was one of the only people calling me Ze. "Does anyone have questions for Miss. Bolivi?" Fletcher asks, and I hate the way my father's last name sounds on his lips. Lots of students raise their hands, and I feel overwhelmed. People actually want to learn something about me? "Yes, Miss. Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?" Her disgustingly sweet voice pukes out. "My last name is Bailey," I say coldly, hating how that was her only query about me. - - - Hazel Bailey. She's your typical Australian teenage girl. From going out with friends every Friday night, to crushing on university boys. But what happens when this seemingly normal girl experiences the loss of her mother? Fearing that she's going to go into foster care, Hazel begins to stress, but she quickly discovers that she's not going to go into the system.

But they're not the only ones with secrets. Join Hazel in a journey of lies, love, attachment, and humor.Complete
Bad for You. | a Louis Tomlinson fan-fiction |
Scribbling on a torn piece of notebook paper in class, I check every few seconds to confirm Misses isn't looking my way. Can't risk getting a bad mark on the first day of secondary school. 'who is everyone whispering about?' I pass the note to my best friend Chloe. 'Louis Tomlinson.' She wrote back. I scrunch my face and re-read the note. I glance over at her as she fans herself exaggeratedly. Misses stands from her desk and turns around to write something on the board. I drown out the putrid noise of chalk scratching as I write a response. 'who is Louis Tomlinson?' ... I often dream about going back in time and warning myself. But I doubt it would change the outcome. i've made these choices. And as much as it hurts to admit it, i'd make them again even knowing the hell it would cause. I love you, you know. { Olivia Madison's first year of secondary school, commonly referred to as high school, was supposed to be her first step into maturity and adulthood. Little did she know that what started out as an innocent crush would end up changing the course of her life. A few spontaneous decisions is all it takes for hatred and forgiveness to become an everyday battle in her life. "I hate you, I hate you not." }
