Hope POV:
I walked back to Ms. Emid. My caretaker. "Come now Hope, let's go back to the orphanage. There's a couple who want to meet you, they might want to adopt." She said. I nodded. She led me to her car and we both got in. Ms. Emid has been my caretaker sense… well, sense the accident. I hated the orphanage. It will never be home. I don't know if I'll ever have a home. I sighed and turned on the radio. Ms. Emid always thought I was strange because I listened to Bethoven and Tchaikovsky. I don't know why that is strange. It's beautiful. I closed my eyes and listened to the sweet melody. Gorgeous.
We parked in the orphanages small parking lot and got out of the car. Right when my door closed Saramy (Sara-me) ran out to Ms. Emid. "Ms. Emid, Ms. Emid! I've been adopted!" She yelled. Ms. Emid hugged her and congratulated her. Saramy has only been here six months and she's already been adopted. I have been here sixteen years. Maybe today will be my day. I walked inside and Ms. Indra led me to the interview room. I walked in and saw a middle aged couple sitting at the interview table. I sat down across from them and the lady smiled. "Hello, I'm Mary." She said, holding out her hand. I shook her hand slightly and then pulled back. The man smiled and held out his hand to. He didn't introduce himself as I shook his hand. The lady started speaking, "George can't speak." She said. I nodded slightly. "So you're Hope?" she asked. I nodded. "You can call me Patricia Marie." I said. She smiled. "Both such beautiful names." I nodded again. "It was my sisters name." I said. She lifted her eyebrows. "I wasn't aware you had any siblings." She said. "I don't. Not anymore." I said quietly. Mary quickly changed the subject. "So, what do you like to do?" she asked. I paused a second, then answered, "Think." "Is that all?" she asked. I shrugged. She nodded slightly. "You sound a lot like my niece, Casey." She said. I didn't respond. "I read your file, you have outstanding grades." She beamed. I nodded. Yeah, I'm in the tenth grade and I'm doing twelfth grade work and making one hundreds on everything, so what? It's not important. Mary looked uncomfortable. She finally said goodbye and left with George. I have a feeling I might be here until I'm eighteen.
I lay on my bed, thinking about the interview. I know I bombed it. There is no way they're going to adopt me. I was about to get up when one of the little girls ran in my room. It was Beth. "Hope! There's a new person here!" she yelled. I stood up and let her practically drag me downstairs. It was time for me to take my medicine anyways. When we got to the bottom I saw a bunch of the older girls crowded around the new person. I was the oldest person here, except the staff, but there were other girls who were twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen. I heard one of the girls giggle stupidly. "Girls, go to your rooms and leave Mr. Alexander alone!" Mrs. Edith called. The girls grumbled and went to their rooms. I stayed put because, in front of me, was a guy about my age. And he was gorgeous. He had wavy dark hair and piercing green eyes. He was about half a foot taller than me. Did I mention he was GORGEOUS? He didn't see me. He was talking to Mrs. Edith. I tried to walk by without notice but Mrs. Edith saw me. "Where are you going Ms. Rutter?" she asked. I tried not to look at Alexander and focus on Mrs. Edith. I pointed to the nurses room and said, "I was just getting my medicine." She nodded and I quickly walked into the nurse's room. I have asthma and I have to take medicine for it daily.
I tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't. I kept seeing his face. Alexander, please stay here at the orphanage. I want to talk to him so bad. But I know I shouldn't. I sighed and sat up in my bed. I looked around my tiny room. I have three roommates. Andra, she's eight, Kayla, she's seven, and Miley, she's only four, and she's like my own sister. They all slept peacefully why I lie awake. I don't know what love feels like, but am I about to fall into it?
