Natsu's foster care family- chapter 1
I've always been a foster care kid, I never knew my parents, but I never really cared. They didn't want me, so I didn't want them. in the orphanage you could always tell the ones that had been in the system for a while compared to the new ones. The newbies had hope that someone would come for them and save them from this hell. But the others like me who had bounced around a lot, we had lost hope a long time ago.
I knew that no one was ever going to rescue me and that I had to make my place here. lots of people said that someone would adopt me, I just had to be patient and wait for the right person. But I knew otherwise, that person was never going to come. Who would want to save a weak kid like me.
I wasn't strong or smart not even cute. Not even my parents did. They chose to give me up, so why would someone want to start caring about me now? Not even my social care workers liked me. I had so many, I didn't even bother to learn their names anymore. In the beginning they were the ones to give me hope that things would get better, but they never did. Soon they disappeared, and a new person took their place saying the same things over and over. It drove me mad. How could I trust someone who was just going too run away when things didn't work out? They all struggled to find me someone who would want me.
Social workers only want one thing. They want an easy, charismatic kid who will do what they are told, and adults will like. It makes there lives and job easier. They hated me because I was the total opposite. It wasn't like I was bad or anything, but adults and other children just didn't like me. I was quite and shy which may be wasn't a bad thing in a normal family, but this is foster care.
By the time I was five I had been in and out of ten different foster homes. Most got rid of me because I couldn't hold my own agents he older kids. People think that in the system you get tougher the longer you've been there, but for me it was different. I didn't enjoy fighting and would normally would just give in to avoid conflict. I hated other kids, they were mean and spiteful. they wanted everything that was mine and would just take it for themselves.
I was also a target for bullies with my outrageous pink spikey hair. Without my pink hair I think the other kids might have just left me alone, but no my hair had to yell out fight me I'm to girly to fight back. Which was true, but that beside the point.
