Lilly and Cole have been in the orphanage for 6 years now. Lilly is 14 and Cole is 11. They are brother and sister. Until one day they see a familiar face walking through the doors of the orphanage.
Lilly POV I wake up in a small bed. I stretch my arms out as my my eyes start to open. I look to the bed next to me and there lays my 11 year old brother. My eyes wander as I see more and more kids in the room. Me and my brother have been in this foster home for 6 years and we hate it. I look over, and get out of my bed and walk to my brother's. I shake him awake.
"Cole, wake up. We need to get all the kids ready for breakfast."
Cole groans and pulls the blanket over his head. I slap his back.
"Wake up butthead!"
Cole gets up and yawns. I look around, checking to see if any of the other kids have woken up. And of course, none are.
"What time is it?" Cole asked tiredly. "5:00 A.M" I said while yawning
We go into the changing rooms and get ready for the day. A horrible, boring day. Just like the rest.
"Let's go wake up the other kids" I say to Cole "okay I will get the boys you get the girls."
I walk to the girls side of the room and shake every one of them lightly as Cole does the same with the boys. I'm the oldest in the orphanage, there are 5 girls and 5 boys. Including me and Cole

(Two hours later) All of the kids eat their breakfast like they haven't eaten in days. Ms. Checker comes into the room, yelling.
"Everyone places! There is a family here to interview you!"
All of the kids stand up and line up shortest to tallest. I stand beside Zach then Taylor stands to the right of me. The order goes Zach, me, Taylor, Cole, Hayden, Millie, Jonathan, lyla, rose, sapphire, cache. I have to help the youngest 4 get into the right spots than go to mine.
"Ok great. But next time just go a little faster. The parents should be here any minute now. I want you all to be on your best behavior." Said ms. Checker.
The door handle opens and I see two familiar faces. Than it dawns on me
