I thought of this story well my teacher was talking during English last week. I know this is short but that's because it's just an intro.
Intro
I smiled have heartedly at Sarah and her brother as i passed them. Putting my hand out for each of them to take before move on.
My family and I only moved here a year ago but Sarah and Aaron welcomed me with open arms. I remember our first day at the school.
I ran quickly at human speed from the main office to my first class. I opened the door and right into a small blond girl. "I am so sorry" I said has i picked up her books.
"You should be, you got dirt on my new shoes" the blond girl turned and her hair smacked my face.
"Are you alright?" I looked up to see Sarah she was smiling sweetly at me as she picked up my last book. "I'm Sarah MacDonald." she lead me over the empty disk next to her. "And that was Tammy, she thinks she cool because her dad buys for designer" she lowered her voice. "But she's really not" Sarah laughed then turned to the boy on her right. The boy smiled, he and Sarah looked the exact same, I had never seen actual twins before. "This is my brother Aaron" the boy smiled.
" And you are?" his voice was soft like he was shy.
"Nessie" I smiled at the pair who sat next to me. "My family and I just moved here"
"Well Nessie welcome to the neighborhood, if there's anything you need ask us" Sarah smiled again.
Now here they were forced to face friends and neighbors as adults, but they were really just kids. One week ago today Mr and Mrs MacDonald were killed in a car accident, some of the local teenagers were drag racing and the MacDonald's car was rammed from both sides by the two cars.
The room was beginning to clear as I thought of what would happen to Sarah and Aaron in a few weeks. Since the twins were not yet 18 the judge decided they would have to live in foster care. Of course Sarah had tried to fight it but with no luck, the biggest problem was that the court couldn't find a foster home willing to take a 17 year old boy and a 17 year old girl so they would be split up.
I climbed into the car with my grandmother and grandfather, they had been good friends with the MacDonald's so they volunteered to bring Jake and I today. The ride to the gravel yard was quiet as we drove I thought more about the twins, they had helped me some much in the past year, they were my only friends, and there was nothing I could do for them in there time of need.
I wanted to help them so bad. I knew the problems that stopped us from taking the twins in, but we had the room, and they would be 18 in just a year. What if they stayed with us that long, the house is big enough and we have beds, and theres always human food in the house. I didn't want to think, I wanted to do.
"Carlise" i said in a low voice. My grandfather was the leader in our family, we put a lot to vote but in the end all was up to grandpa.
"Yes Nessie?"
"Can we take the twins in?"
