The Orphan

(So, like this is my first one-shot and it was a school writing assignment that I decided to put on here. Read&enjoy&Review nicely please.)

"Hi my name is Rebecca, and this is my life story… at least from six months ago."

:~:

"Becky, let's go your going to be late meeting that couple!"

"Coming Mrs. Malcoon!"

"Becky it's been five minutes," Mrs. Malcoon, the headmistress, appeared in the doorway to my room in the orphanage. "I said I was coming," I straightened my navy blue uniform with the blue and gray plaid skirt, "how do I look?"

"Wonderful dear, just wonderful," she wiped away a tear and straightened her glasses. "I am sure the Pestions will love you." She put a gentle and loving hand on my shoulder.

"But-"

"Up, up, up. I thought you wanted to be optimistic today.

"I am-I mean I do. It's just," I sighed. "What if because I'm paralyzed they don't want me?"

"Well, I think there should be less talk and more moving towards the meeting room." She smiled as I obediently rolled out of my room and down the hall towards the Room of Doom/Delight as Christy, my roommate, called it.

:~:

"Yet another couple said they were sorry but I wasn't the right girl for them. It seemed like a pattern, a terrible, discouraging pattern. My friends went to live with loving families and I was still unwanted. That is until one day when I was in school…"

:~:

"Rebecca, you're needed in the principal's office," my teacher Miss Rachael whispered in my ear.

"Now Miss Rachael?"

"Yes, Becky, now." I was extremely puzzled, what had I done to go to the principal's office? There's only one way to find out, so I rolled out of class and entered the principal's office. I gasped, the room was decorated for a party.

"SURPRISE!" Mrs. Malcoon, Christy, the principal, and all my friends jumped up and yelled. I laughed, "What's all this for? It's not my birthday." Christy stepped up to me and turned my head up. "We know that. Read the banner."

"Congrat's," I read aloud, "on being adopted, Miss Rebecca Berenson! OH! I got?! By who? Is their last name Berenson?" Mrs. Malcoon pushed open a door and a couple walked in, "Becky, this is Jake and Cassie Berenson. They're your new parents." Mrs. Berenson came forward and knelt to give me a hug paired with a smile. "I hope that's okay with you, us adopting you without actually meeting you, I mean."

"OKAY? It's wonderful! Oh, this is the happiest day of my life!" Mr. Berenson cleared his throat, "so now that I have a daughter can we eat this yummy-looking cake?"

:~:

"So, that's how I became Miss Becky Berenson. Mom and Dad love me and I love them. They have such an interesting past… but that's another story. In fact the most amazing part is they and their friends and family are the only ones who remember, because some magnificent being erased the rest of the world's memory of it."

"Becky! Dinner!"

"And you might want to come down soon before your father eats all the chili."

"I would not!"

"Oh, really, Jake?"

"I'm coming! Well I have to go. My story may not be very wonderful to you, but it's amazing to me."

THE END

(Wow, I think that went really well. Just something to tell you, this does not have ANYTHING to do with my other story. And I am not implying that Jake and Cassie can't have children I just have them adopt in here. Please tell me how it went and I'm gonna have a vote thing on my profile that I want to check out for me. I NEED HELP! Thank you and have a wonderful day.)
