Chapter 1: The news is out
"Dear Diary,
Today was one of the worst days of my life."
"Who said you could read my diary?!" I ran over to the twins as we call them here and snatched the pink leather book out of their hands.
My name is Brittany. I have brown hair, that goes to the middle of my back and brown eyes that resemble caramel with chocolate in the center, if you look close enough.
I've been in this orphanage for a good 3 years, and no one wants to adopt me. Can't blame them either, I'm a little crazy.
But I have the internet and my favorite You Tubers to keep me sane-ish.
"Scram!" The twins (Robert and Jimmy), ran to the other side of the orphanage as I sighed, and re-hid my diary and turned on my laptop that I got to keep.
I only have a few possessions that truly belong to me.
I signed into you tube and watched the recent SkydoesMinecraft video of 'Cops and Robbers'. I put on head phones, for the sake of the younger orphans, and tried to hide my laughter when Sky said he was in jail for eating a palm tree.
I smiled, I may not know him personally, but I can't help but feel some kind of connection.
Just as the video ended, the warden, as I started calling her, burst into the room startling everyone and yelled "Turn that darn thing off! Stop wasting your time watching those weirdos and sleep like the others!"
I nodded and proceeded to turn my laptop off and remove my head phones. Just then a sharp pain settled on my right cheek. "That's what you get for not listening to me."
The warden, then turned her head to see the screen go dark and change to a blue screen with the words 'logging off.'
Tears stung my eyes because of the pain, but I stayed strong. After 3 years, you get used to this kind of treatment.
"This didn't have to happen if you were normal and went to sleep like the others, instead of watching some idiot addicted to butter, playing the stupidest game ever!" After she stormed out of the room, Starly, came and hugged me. "You ok?"
I nodded and swallowed a lump in my throat. "Yeah, but you should sleep. I don't want you to get in trouble with me."
Starly and I became friends since we were both the quiet ones.
"I'm here for you if you need me." Starly let go and walked over to her bed on the other side of the room.
I closed my laptop and put it under my bed with my other possessions. A pink and purple collage my mom made me before she died, (it had a bunch of little things on it, and on the side it said 'live life with no fear.), a stuffed dog, (with blue, red and yellow hearts that said I love you. It was my only present that I got for my 10th birthday.) and my hair brush, and a few other things. Plus, I had a stuck of at least 3,000 dollars that I saved from selling my other possessions.
I lied down on my bed and thought 'sky may not ACT the smartest, but I consider him my friend , more than some of the people here in this dump. At least I have Starly, she's my friend.' My eyes closed and I was teleported to my memories before my dad left, and before my mom died.
(time skip till 3 in the morning)
Adam's or Sky's pov
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring,
"Hold up guys, my phone is ringing. Be right back. NOO DANM IT! I DIED!"
Ring, ring, ring, ring,
"The phone is still ringing Adam."
"What do you know you're just a fish."
"I'm not a fish! I'm an amphibian!"
I chuckled as I dived for the phone. I don't know who would be calling me at 3 in the morning, but it must be important. "Hello?"
"Hi, is this Adam speaking?" A voice that sounded familiar asked.
"Yes, that's me."
"Well, you remember your parent's right?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" I raised an eyebrow, even though I knew that he wouldn't be able to see it.
"You see I'm Detective Hoble and I was looking through their records and found something that you might find interesting." Detective Hoble paused.
"Well, tell me." I sighed, I haven't heard from my dad and I heard the news of my mom a few years ago, I don't know why I keep bringing her up in my videos though.
"You have…..a sister."
My eyes widened "Excuse me, did you just say…"
"You have a sister. I found some information about her and she's in an orphanage in Colorado."
"I don't believe it."
"According to these records she hasn't been adopted yet. You can adopt her per say, and be her guardian, but it's your choice Adam."
All these years, I had a sister, and I didn't even know it. But this could be a prank call, might as well get more information about her, if she's real.
"What's her name?"
"Brittany"
"How old is she?"
"13 or so."
That was about the time when my parents sent me away to a private school.
"Adam…. Adam…. If you don't want to…." I cut him off. If she is real and in an orphanage, I want to be the person to be there for her.
"I'll take care of her, but I'll need a little more details." I smiled a bit.
I have a sister
