+Karson+
"Goodnight, Ms. Carrie" I say in a fake sing-song voice I had learned to perfect. Ms. Carrie was my social worker and she wasn't too bad but she was just way too nice. She still thinks I'm a good kid who doesn't do anything wrong, which I'm grateful for when it comes to potential guardians, because trust me I want to be adopted. But when they finally find out the real karson, they leave me. Ms. Carrie smiles at me and I close my door and turn off the light. I quickly kick off my extremely over sized slippers and pull on my converse and slip into a jacket, knowing where I had left it. I grab two of my lighters off my desk and stuff them into the front pouch of a bag and quickly pack the rest off the stuff I needed. Which was only a bottle opener, knowing everyone else would forget, and two packs of cancer sticks I stole from one of the older kids. I heave the bag onto my shoulders and grab my phone. Sighing I walk to my window after turning the last lamp off and pull the window pane up, silently praying for it to not make any noise, and slip onto the balcony. I turn back around and shut the window then bolt down the stairs to the ground and hear a honk from a car, it really sounded like more of a strangled honk then anything and I roll my eyes but quicken my pace into a jog. "C'mon psycho, let's go!" I smile at my best friend, Ashton, and stick my tongue out at him when I get in the bed of the truck and sit beside him. Although everyone else in the group was like 14-16 this group made me feel at home. "So.. we going to talk about why sinner, youngblood, deadpool, and shitaki is in there jamming to one direction while we sit here in silence?" I ask, looking ghoul, or devin, in the eyes and he laughs. "Cause we've got better music!" And shakes his small stero in my face. Before he decides to put on hannah Monta (it's happened before) I quickly click his mashup/remix playlist and play Mr car radio, which was a mix of Mr. Brightside by The Killers and car radio by twenty øne piløts. (A/N: it's really good look it up) ghoul glares at me and I flip him off while laughing. His pouts like a child, causing me to laugh more and Ashton also laughs, his arm hugging my side as he had his arm around me. We come to a sudden stop at a gas station and we all pile out and keliez (pronounced key- lez), or deadpool instructs us like a parent. "And psycho, please don't go crazy on the monster, we had enough of that last time and I can't distract the cashier that long" I cock an eyebrow at her. "You realize who you're talking to, right?" She returns my eyebrow movement from before and I mumble fine and we head into the store. The cashier takes note of my bag right away. Keliez walks over to him though with a flirty smile. Luckily he was the only one working. "Hey.....aww that's so sweet...... security cameras.......I might give you something in return" I heard snipets of what keliez was telling the young cashier and I had to control my giggling at the last part. Everyone else was roaming around grabbing food and drinks until keliez made eye contact with me and winked and that meant that we had the clear. As she went behind the counter to the cashier and they both then left, I darted behind the counter. I started messing up the order the money was in, knowing it was something rage always did but she was extremely sick and we had to keep her legacy alive. I then spin around and grab the brand of cancer sticks everyone likes and then run back around from the counter and grab more lighters that looked cool to me. We see a car start to pull up and we quickly put everything in the bag and keliez and the guy come back right in time for the person to get out of their car. I could noticeably see a purplish mark on the workers collar bone that was slightly sticking out and his hair was messed up and he had lipsticks stains on the side of his neck. I had to hold in my laughter as we ran out the backdoor and hurriedly switching spots. I was now in the cab of the truck in the front with keliez driving. I noticed her hair was also slightly messed up and I decided to tease her about it. "Hope you didn't have too much fun in there" I say, wriggling my eyebrows suggestively and keliez slams on the breaks. "What the hell? Keliez! Keep driving!" She let out a breath and started to drive again. A blush appeared on her cheeks and she turned the radio on and the rock station was already on and playing throne by bring me the horizon. We sang along and then they start to play Bohemian rhapsody and I let out a gasp and start singing. Ashton smiles at me, keliez rolls her eyes at me but still smiled, and Dani(shitaki) sings with me. At the end of the song there's a bunch of comercials and from somewhere in the back I hear sinner and youngblood yell something about wanting food so I dig into my bag and throw pop tarts at them. We finally pull up to where we were going to end up being for the remainder of the night until I had to go back or we fall asleep. We did this almost every wednesday. We get a bunch of food,drinks, etc. And then lay out under the stars and just talk our problems out or just goof off and youngblood usually takes pictures of us doing stupid shit. Anyways, we get out of the truck and I grab my bag and sling it over my shoulder again and start walking towards the empty baseball field. Even though there are others ways to get in, we climb under and over the fence. On cloudless, moonless nights is the best because we can just star gaze and no one ever bothers us. One time we had some stalker guy come out here and he almost kidnapped us but that plan was failed once we got out pocket knives, we know when we need to defend ourselves. I walk to the fence and take my bag off and toss it over the fence, light enough to not break anything in it. I then find a place for my feet and hands and start climbing when I hear a click of a camera. "I know you're just doing that for an exuse to stare at my ass, you perv" I yell at the ground with a smirk as I climb the rest of the fence and then get to the other side, jumping down and landing in a crouched position and then get up and dust off my knees and turn back around to lanie (youngblood) sticking her tongue out at me and handing Ashton her camera to climb the fence. Ashton finds one of the lower man holes and gets in. He hands lanie her camera back and winter (sinner) attempts to do what I did but just ends up falling on her butt and I laugh at her. She glares playfully at me and then gets up and dusts herself off and mutters something under her breath. Keliez then shouts "KILLJOYS MAKE SOME NOISE" and we started singing mcr. After that lanie started taking random pictures with her flash on, although she really didn't need it considering our faces were illuminated by the stars. She even started recording saying she had an idea too use it to make a fan video for a song. I rolled my eyes at her and started to do a bunch of different gymnastics with winter. Soon enough though, at around 3 am we all lie in the middle of the field and look up at the stars. "Kpaaaxeliez?" "Yeah, psycho?" I sighed and turn my head to keliez and I can't help be jelous of her beauty in the glow of the stars. "Can I tell you something?" Keliez sat up on her elbows then and turned to me. "Yeah, anything, what is it?" "It's stupid, but, do you think if I get adopted, would I loose you guys?" Keliez smiled at me and hugged me. I loved when she was this comforting. "I don't know, but if you do, you have our numbers if you end up living close enough and feel up to doing this, I'll come kidnap you. I'll return you of course, not that I want too, I just don't think I need even more lectures from my dad about 'bad influence' and 'acting like a slut because you're ignored" I smile at keliez. Then I yell "I'M BORED" and keliez laughs. Ashton wakes up and Scoots back over to me and I allow him to pull me into his lap. He starts to play with my hair and I turn to face him. "AWWWWW" we hear along with a chorus of chanting 'kashton, kashton, kashton'. We were used to this, seeing as the rest of the group shipped us together. I shrugged at Ashton and leaned in for a kiss and he also leaned in and we heard four sqeuals and the click of lanie's camera as our lips crashed together. For it being my second kiss, I was impressed. But Ashton did have snake bites so I mean. But his tongue was poking at my lips but I didn't let him and he pouted afterward. I laughed at him and shook my head. "I'm thirteen, ashey. I get there's an age gap and it doesn't matter but no, I have to be still somewhat innocent" he agreed with me but kissed me again and started playing with my hair as I use him as a pillow and look at the stars again. "Hey, look that one means you're a bitch" proclaims Dani and keliez punches her arm and stands up to stretch her legs. We all laugh at that and keliez yells "FUCKING SHIT, PSYCHO IT'S 4 AM AND YOU HAVE TO BE BACK AT 4:30 HOLY SHIT!"with wide eyes I run over to my bag and crawl through a man hole and everyone else does the same and we pile into the truck. Keliez is about to barrel down the highway when she sees a cop and we all try and hide ourselves. Thankfully it works and we take the half-hour drive back to the orphanage and I race to my room,and close the window, throw my bag into the closet, and jump into the bed with my jacket off just in time for Ms. Carrie to open the door. She walks over to me and I try my best to fake tiredness. Which really wasn't that hard. "Time to wake up karson. We have to clean up for the open house" I rub my eyes for added affect and when Mrs. Carrie sees that I'm awake, she leaves and I sigh. I know I wouldn't bee getting any sleep but it was fine because I'm lucky if I get four hours of sleep in two days. I let out a yawn and turn my light on and start to get ready. Picking out my outfit I head to the bathroom and take a quick shower. After drying myself off I pull on my clothes, which was a pair of black skinny jeans and batman muscle tank. I walk down the hall running a brush through my hair and softly singing Mr. Brightside
