Drew's p.o.v.

I was exiting school when I literally bumped into May.

"Hello, Grass Head!" She spat as she stood up and grabbed her books. I saw one that caught my eye.

"And what's this?" I took the book the just happen to say, 'May's Diary'.

Her face went red and she jabbed me and unsuccessfully tried to hurt me. I opened it and started reading.

'Dear Diary,

Today was rough! In gym I got nailed with at least ten doge balls! It was eextremely bad the rest of the day until the most unexpected kid cheered me up. Drew! He came up to me in the gym and gave me a rose! It made me happier since Mom died... The rest of the day went a lot better!

Love,

May'

"May, did your mom really, pass away?" I asked. She nodded reluctantly.

"And the rose I gave you, made you, happier?" She nodded again.

Nice! I'm a total jerk to a girl who lost her mother! Man...

"Drew..." she mumbled. I pperked up, ready to do anything for her.

"Can you give me my diary?" She laughed.

"Sure. And, if you ever need support, I'm the one. I lost both my parents when I was eight. I live with my grandparents, but, it's like living with nobody at all, " I sighed as I tossed her the diary. I expected her to walk away, but instead, she hugged me. Nothing special, just, a warm, 'I'm sorry for your loss' hug. When she walked away I sighed dreamily.

'Why did I do that?' I asked myself. I shrugged the thougt off and rode my bike home.

When I got there I walked in and immediately ran up three flights of stairs to my room. I live in the attic. Two grandparents, an aunt uncle, three sisters, three girl cousins, three boy cousins, and four brothers, there isn't much room to spare.

I was watching TV when breaking news came on.

"A young teenage girl has now lost both her parents! She is fourteen and goes by the name May Haruka . She either needs someone to take her in, or she will go to a foster home in New York. If anyone would like to take in poor May, call 1-800-567-5667 now," the news lady said. My eyes filled up with tears. Loosing both parents. What if her mom died recently? I need to get May here. Fast.

I quickly dialed the number and May's grandmother, Sheila, picked up.

"Yes?" She asked.

"I'd like to take in, May," insaid.

"Really?! That's great! I'll get May! Um, where do you live?" She asked excitedly.

"18 Lively Drive! Please, get here as soon as possible!" I answered and hung up the phone.

"Grandma! Grandpa! I need to tell you something!

...

"You what?!" My grandfather, James, screamed.

"I took in my friend who lost her parents! She'll be hers soon so, please tell the little rascles to be, decent!" I laughed. My grandparents sighed as I walked away.

...

"Guys! Mays here! Be decent!" I screeched. All my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and two dogs came running down the stairs.

'Damn! This is gonna take an hour to introduce everyone!' I mentally kicked myself for not considering the space issue.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! I scrambled to the door.

"Organize by hight!" I whisper yelled at them. Once everyone was in line, I opened the door.

May, and her grandmother were waiting. May had some bags and a backpack. I motioned for her to come in, but, she was playing with her bracelet. I'm pretty sure she thought the family who was taking her in, where strangers.

"May, come on in!" I laughed. Her head shot up at the sound of my voice and her jaw dropped to the floor.

"Drew?!" She gasped. The bunch behind me giggled.

"Well, that's who I was last time I checked!" I joked. She walked in uneasily and her eyes widened when she saw the seventeen people before her. Well, eighteen counting me.

"Hi! I'm May Haruka! Nice to meet you all!" May introduced.

"Ok, I'll go through the list of people: First is my Aunt Michelle and Uncle Liam. They're both thirty-nine years old. These two are my Grandpa James and Grandma Lillian. Fifty-six. Next is my twin, Makayla. She's fourteen, just like us, but she goes to a dance school and I teach her regular stuff like math, chemistry, bazic stuff. And of course, me, Drew the Angel! I'm fourteen, as you know. Then there's the two triplets! Mandy, Hunter, and Lisa. All twelve. Then theres Jake. He is eleven. Then Julian. He's nine. Oh, and Nikki, who is ten. Ok! Now for my cousins-" "those kids are all your siblings!?" She cut me off.

"Yes, now let me finish! The quintuplets, Lilac, Molly, Bell, Jack, and Shane. All seven. And last but not least, Deric. He is twelve. As you can see we separated by siblings aunts incles and grandparents, away from cousins. He cousins were SUPPOSED to line up by height but, hey! What's so funny?!" I answered. May was laughing in front of me uncontrollably.

"Drew! Chill out! Did you know that it's ME, not the queen of England!" She giggled.

"I know, I know! Just May The Beast Haruka!" I joined her in laughing. She rolled her eyes and all the kids from ten, to ffourteen all gave her high fives for bashing me.

"Now dear. Let's see your sleeping arrangements! Who has space in their room?" My grandmother asked. Only I raised my hand.

"Drew! You know very well you can't share a room with May! Wait! Makayla! You live with Mandy and Lisa! Surely there's enough room for May!" My grandmother laughed. Makayla nodded and lead her to the third floor. May is going to love living here. She has no siblings, so, she'll think it's a party every day!
