Life in care

A/N: First ever Tracy beaker fanfic. Decided to do because i was bored. will probably follow the story of this years series of tracy beaker returns so if anyone leaves they will leave in this.

Summer stood staring at the hard polished doors. To her it was just another care home but it had to be better than the last one, Burnywood, which was responsible for the great black/purple eye and the broken rib. She knocked while her social care worker got out her bags. The door was opened by a girl who was slightly shorter than summer with bark brown hair.

"Can I help?" the girl asked. Summer nodded. Her social worker walked up behind her.

"We're here to see Mike, Tracy if you want to tell him the new girls here," Summer's care worker told her. Tracy nodded and went to get Mike. Summer followed her into the house. It was a big building with a piano opposite the stairs. There were two girls shouting at each other on the stairs.

"This is all your fault Elektra," the taller of the two screamed.

"No way Sapph, this is so your fault." The other one said as she followed the first one up the stairs. Mike came up to her.

"Summer, isn't it? Mike Milligan head care worker here, do you want to come in?" Mike asked directing her to the office. Summer followed him into the room. She looked around. It was small and welcoming, she relaxed a little. Mike and her care worker sorted out the paperwork and then Mike turned to her. "Shall we go and met everyone?" Summer nodded. She was led into the kitchen. It was a big space and 9 kids were sitting around (or on in some cases) it. They looked up when she entered and stared. Summer shifted her feet uncomfortably. Mike nodded at her to introduce herself.

"Hi, I'm Summer. Who are you?" she said with a slight welsh lilt to her voice. The girl nearest her answered first.

"I'm Tee, this is my brother Johnny. Over there is Toby, Harry, Liam and Frank. Carmen, Gus and Carmen's friend Lily who isn't a resident but is here nearly all the time over here." Tee said pointing at everyone as she spoke. Lily threw a cushion at her.

"Hey, I might not live here anymore but I'm just as important as you lot if she's living here," Lily replied. "Hi Summer, hope you like it here. It's a great place. I love your hair by the way." Summer beamed, she was proud of her bright purple, shoulder length hair that fell in waves. After this everyone started clamouring and shouting and introducing themselves and for the second time in her life Summer thought she had found somewhere she belonged.

So there we are, hope you enjoy it. Should warn you i am rubbish at updating but will try my best. please Review
