Adopted by MagCon

Chapter 1

Emma's POV
"EM! EMMA! PEANUTS! BAE!!! WAKE UP!" Lia yelled. I'm called peanuts because I HATE peanuts and she just likes to push my buttons.

For those of you who don't know, Lia is my best friend. We have bonded over our hate for Mrs. Jackson, our 'orphanage boss' (A/N I don't know what it's called) and our love for Arizona tea and penny boarding. I've known her ever since I was five, when I originally came here. She was always 1 year older than me.

"WHHHHAAAAAATTTTT" I groaned

"Our potential adoptive parents will be here at 10:00am and its 8:00am! We need to get ready so we can go penny boarding and get some Arizona!!" She whined.

"Okay, okay! I'm up and I have to get ready." I said as I stood up, heading to my dresser to get some clothes out.

Once I was finally ready, I went out of my room to find Lia.

"Where is Lia? She was just h-" I was cut off my bumping into someone. As I looked up I saw the face I dreaded. Mrs. Jackson.

"You worthless piece of SHIT!!! What are you doing!" She yelled

"N-n-nothing... I just was looking for something"

"I don't care just go back to your room before I have to beat you senseless to get it through your thick skull." She said as she walked off.

I was trembling. Last time she beat me was two weeks ago and the bruises still look brand new.

Maybe I should just go back to my room and wait...

***********
I've been waiting for an hour and a half and there is still no sign of Lia.

Should I be worried? I mean, Lia's a strong girl! She can handle herself... I thought as I started pacing around the room.

I came to a complete halt as I heard the door creek open... I see a bruised face appear in the crack as a whimper comes out of Lia's mouth.

"LIA!!!!" I yell as I immediately run to her side "what happened?!?"

"I ran into Macy..." she said as she looked down.

Macy is the total bitch of the orphanage... she thinks she is better than everyone else because her mother is actually Mrs. Jackson's daughter who stays here because her mom is forced to sleep in the orphanage with the girls.

Of course I cleaned her up and by time we finished getting ready, it was time for the adoption line up.

*****

We were all placed in order as the people came in. There were only a few people that wanted to adopt.

A young couple, maybe in their early 30's, came in. They were instantly hooked on Nathan... a five year old boy with a creative imagination. An older couple with two little twins came in... their hearts were set in Mandy, a nine year old with the fashion style of a model!

Everyone adopts the young and gifted. No wonder I haven't been adopted!

It was almost time to go back to our rooms but one last group came in. There were 3 guys. The first guy I noticed was a brunette that had amazing chocolate eyes. To his right was a nervous mini version of the first one. The last one seemed so cool and collected... like he was just chilling with one of the guys! He looked like Justin Bieber!

I eternally laughed at my thought. At that moment... all eyes turned to me. Maybe that wasn't an enteral laugh.

My face forces it's way downward. A blush spreads across my cheeks as I try to ignore the fact that they are coming closer to me.
