Living with Hamiltons

Maeve Austin

Meeting The Hamiltons
So my parents died when i was only four years old so I have lived with my Uncle Ryan ever since. We weren't wealthy at all just getting by, to be exact. But my Uncle had a lot of friends in high places. He had gotten a promotion and told me it would help me get into college. Even though i told him that i didn't have to go. He insisted that i stay at his rich friends house with his family until he comes back home.
So today i was getting picked up by a man named Sam and he would take me to where he lived in California. I had all my bags packed and by the door i knew nothing about this family except that they were wealthy and would pay for me to eat and have the essentials. As a limo pulled up infront of our tiny home that i was about to leave for god knows how long! I tried to stay positive so my Uncle wouldn't feel bad. So i hugged him and left with this new Sam guy.
Sam put my bags into the limo and then i got in but we sat across from each other. It was awkward and i wasnt the friendliest person but i want to be nice to him considering he is doing my uncle and i a favor. But i still wasnt comfortable yet and this was wierd.

Sam-"hey...umm I know you have been through alot and i just want you to know i am always here and i told my boys to welcome you like a sister."

Me-"...."
i didnt know what to say to him i am kinda shy so i could not find words.

Sam-"Your Uncle told me you were shy."

then i fell asleep the rest of the time. Someone i am guessing was Sam carried me onto a couch and i woke up to pee and i checked my phone it was 3am i went to look around and their house was huge!
i eventually found my way to the kitchen and saw the fridge i quietly got a glass out and some water. i had not had anything to eat since breakfast yesterday. i was so hungry.
i heard a noise and i turned around and was faced with someone who seemed to look a bit older than myself. I couldnt really tell what his physical features were but apparently he must have thought i was an intruder because he had a bat in his hand he flicked on a tiny light and walked towards me.
He had already put the bat down i just looked at him confused.

boy-"hi...sorry i heard a noise and i thought you were an intruder...i i im ricky by the way im the oldest son of sam and amanda i heard you dont talk much but umm i think its Maeve? well nice to meet you and if you need anything just feel free to ask me dont ask the others they are not as cooperative i guess you could say...well night!"

me-"night...ricky.."

he mustve been shocked i said anything because he quickly looked up before walking away.
he was cute i had to admit! dark hair dark chocolate eyes...seemed nice too!
After that i went back to bed i checked my phone and had calls from my bestie megan but i decided to call her in the morning.
I was quickly awaken by unfamiliar screams and laughs. Then i heard a distant but familiar voice say "stop or you will wake her and if you wake her i will hurt you."

Amanda-"RICKY! be nice they are just kidding around."

Ricky-"mom! they are being rude."

after i smelled food coming from the most populated place in the house at the moment, the kitchen, i got up and walked in i was surprised to see so many boys...

they couldnt all be brothers...right?

amanda-"good morning maeve you dont even know how happy i am to have a girl in the house for once!"

i sat down at the large table next to sam and ricky. Ricky then gave me a slight smile.
I just ate the most delicious food that lay infront of me.

When i looked up everyone was giggling and i couldnt tell why until i realized none of them started eating yet. oh no! they must pray before they eat crap...

i stopped eating and then looked down at my lap. Everyone stopped laughing because i felt Amanda glare at them.

Sam-"Okay! DIG IN BOYS!"
everyone started laughing and then i ate quietly and quickly finished and got up rinsed off my plate. I then felt homesick and i missed my friends and my uncle.
