chapter 1-The OutCast

Today is number forteen. This is how many times i have been interviewed for a family. Today is like any other. I get dressed, but today i have to wear a dress to impress these really rich people. I wore a a black lace dress, it was form fitting and cute. Rose was crying, it happens every time someone has an interview. I was late trying to console her. As i walked down the rusty spiral staircase, i heard mumbled whispers. I think its Tilly...

"Alice is very bright, but she is very shy. She watches over two of our younger children, who are five and seven. Shesa sister to them. Very mature for her age." Tilly says with excitement growing in very word. This means these people could be taking me home.

I hear a woman's voice talking, she sounded preppy, like a cheerleader,

"She sounds wonderful!I can't wait to meet her! Perfect, right Ryan?" She exclaimed. Im guessing Ryan is her husband,

"Yep sounds awesome Erin" He sounds forced to come here.

I decided to mess up my bouncy curly hair, smudged some lip stick, i walk to the bathroom to see how it looks, and i got to say, i still pulled it off! F this. Just walk in Ali, they won't want you, your an outcast.Outcast. Outcast.Outcast. I kept repeating it over and over till i walked into the office. I knocked on the door, waiting to be let in. Tilly looked over, shocked by my looks. I just smiled and waved and sat down. Erin and Ryan looked like a cute couple, happy and in love. Probably late 20s. Erin looked pregnant by her looks.....hope she not fat. Erin looked at me with a bright smile, so did Ryan. Erin talked first,

"Hi Alice, I'm Erin, we were thinking about adopting you into our family. You would be a lovely addition." Erin sat down in the spiny chair, next to me and then Ryan followed siting on the other side of me. Erin continued,

"We haveone child, Devon, shes ten. Very shy. You and her will be close in age. We looked over your records here and your activity, and we decided we wanted to adopt you, sweetie."

My head started to spin. I felt faint. Someone wanted me, im not alone in this world! Im being loved. No one ever loved me, i don't no what this feels like. Life has turned around. In one month im leaving this hell-hole. Tilly looked excited for me, she went on to say,

"In one month your leaving, start to pack. You will go home with Erin and Ryan. They live in Maine. Be ready for a catholic school. With uniforms. Ali, you will be missed. You are dismissed from this room."

I got up waved and ran up the stairs to my room that was empty. I screamed and screamed and screamed. I was free. Freedom. Thats a word i havent used for over ten years. Life is better for me,until Rose and Spencer heard the news. They walked in, Rose slammed the door and cried and cried. Spencer was just angry. I explained and they were better....but still not perfect. I got Rose ready for bed, Spencer got ready by herself. Still being upset. Rose kissed my cheek and said i love you sissy. I never heard her say that. A ball welled up in my throat. I went right to bed that night dreaming of a new life, and my old one iam leaving behind...
