Sal's POV
I didn't really want any responsibility of caring for those kids. It was too much for a ten year old. But that morning when I woke up I saw Reena sitting at a table shaped like a U with art supples covering it, struggling with something. Her eyes were watering, and glaring at the papers like they had just taken away her heart, her brows furled in confusion, and her small fists balled tight with anger.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked her walking over to see what she was having so much trouble with. I saw, strewn over the table, where folders, but only one was opened.
"I can't figure this out. It's confusing." she confessed, straining her words. I guess she didn't want to admit she was having trouble.
"That's because you can't read. What is all of this?" I asked, looking through the folders.
"Some files that I got from the School last night. Can you help me figure them out, please?" She looked at me with her big hazel eyes pleading. Honestly, at that moment, I changed my mind about her, about all of these little kids.
"Yeah I'll help you." That made her smile.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She said ecstatically and started to jump up and down, which made her wavy, shoulder length, light brown hair bounce.
I just smiled and started to go through the files. "Hey, what do you want me to look for exactly?" I asked. There were at least 100 papers in every folder so it would take me awhile to go through it all.
"I wanna know who I belong to. Who my family is and where." Reena confessed, looking down.
"I understand."
She started to play house when Jade woke up. Reena was the mom and we all were her kids. I was the oldest of course. As I went through everything in Reena's folder I saw something.
"Hey Reena, you gotta check this out." I called her over with happiness in my voice for her.
"What is it?" I read to her what was on the paper and she jumped up in excitement. It wasn't exactly what she wanted, but it was something.
"Hey, you guys stay here for a while, I'll be right back." I said and left the room.
Ari's POV
"Ari, I'm so sorry." She said in guilt. I knew the voice. It was Max. "I wish I could help you. I didn't want to leave you at all." She said with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay Max, but I think I do need your help. But I don't know how to ask you though." I confessed.
"What is it?" She asked.
Before I could tell her she faded away, and so did I.
My eyes opened and I saw Reena, Luke and Jade playing house. From what I saw it looked like Reena was the mom and Luke and Jade were her kids. I sat up and watched them as they played. Jade was getting ready to go to school, Luke was sitting in front of the plastic, fake TV, and Reena was cooking breakfast on the fake, plastic stove. I looked around but saw no sign of Sal. I know he wouldn't leave us on our own, Sal wasn't like that.
"Hey, Reena, where's Sal?" I asked her.
"He left a few minutes ago, said that he'd be right back." She answered, pretending to scramble some eggs.
"Morning' I brought food." Someone said taking a bite of a fat, juicy, red apple. I turned around and saw Sal for the first time today. He was walking in the room with eight apples in his arms, seven cartons of milk, and three cups of applesauce.
"Morning. Dude where'd you find the food?" I asked amazed. I was practically already drooling.
"Cafeteria." Sal tossed me two apples, then walked over to Reena. "Hey mom, I just got back from the store." He said to her, playing along. Sal placed the rest of the food on the little table.
"Thank you, son." Reena smiled gratefully. "Hey, Ari, you can be the uncle." she said.
"Uncle Ari, mom wanted me to look at something she found last night at the School and I think that you should see this." Sal said calling me over. I assume Reena threatened him not to break character until the game was over.
"Sure." I we walked to the table the was shaped like a U with all of the art supples on it.
He started flipping through a folder with Reena's picture and name on it, and a folder with my picture and name on it. He pointed to a part on a yellow piece of paper that had holes down on of the sides and started to read.
" Here's yours: Siblings; Maximum Ride, Reena Batcheler. And here's Reena's: Siblings; Ari Batcheler, (Name unknown) (Name unknown)." He finished.
"Reena is...my sister? And so is, Max?" I didn't know what to feel at the moment. Though I had a sudden feeling to protect Reena and find Max.
"Yeah, looks like you finally got what you wanted. Sisters, and me as your brother of course." Sal grinned.
"Yeah, that's right. Did you tell Reena?" I thought that she had a right to know at least.
"As soon as I found out. She was smart to grab this files. Oh and you're her older brother, she's younger than you by a year. Max is thirteen, so you're her little brother." He wasn't trying to make me feel stupid, he just wanted to make sure I knew.
"Gotcha,"
"Hey guys, can you help me feed the twins, please?" Reena called us over.
"Sure," Sal and I said at the same time.
Reena said that we had to fill the bottles up with milk and hold it to where they weren't sucking on air. Then we fed them applesauce. By the time everyone was finished eating, Luke had applesauce all over his face.
"I'll go look for some clothes in the lost and found and you two can take them to the bathrooms to clean up." Sal suggested.
Reena, of course took Jade and Rosie into the girls bathroom, and I took Luke and Rascal. We couldn't completely wash up because we wouldn't have diapers of underwear, so just our outside appearance so that we didn't look like dirty little street kids, even if we were dirty little street kids.
Sal's POV
I search through the lost & found for any clothing that we could wear, also for backpacks, blankets, coats, shoes. Anything that we needed. It's surprising how so many kids loose clothes, shoes and other stuff so easily.
I was able to find a teal double hem tee with a picture of cat that had a pink bow on her head named Hello Kitty. That was for Reena. A purple, white, blue and black striped shirt, for Jade, it was small, but not small enough, it would probably go down to her thighs. A short sleeve plaid shirt and a white tee underneath that said property of cougars. That was for Ari. A gray short sleeve shirt that had two boys, one with a triangle head and red hair and the other with a square nose and green hair, it had the words 'So Not BUSTED' on it, that was for Luke.
As for myself I found a black and gray Tony Hawk hat, Tony Hawk tree tee, and some Tony Hawk cargo shorts. Tony Hawk was mine and my brother's favorite athlete. I jammed the rest of the clothes and shoes that would fit any of us into everyone's individual backpacks.
I headed to the cafeteria for food. I grabbed anything that would last and didn't need to be kept cold.
Reena's POV
I was so happy to have a brother. So happy to have some kind of family. It was something I've always dreamed of. I can't wait to ask him what our parents are like. Maybe he'll teach me to fly. I can only hope.
I was in the girls bathroom using lots of toilet paper and soap to clean Rosie, Jade and myself. There was a knock on the door.
"Hey it's, Ari." He called.
"Hey, you can come in it's just us." I said running my hands through Jades hair, getting all of the knots out.
"No way! It's the girls bathroom." He shuddered in disgust.
"Scary cat, scary cat, run away, hides under a rock all night and day!" I chanted.
"Am not! It's just that it's the girls bathroom, no boys allowed." He argued.
"Yeah, yeah , yeah. We'll be out in a second." I told him.
"Hey, Reena I got something for you and Jade." Sal said. He didn't come in, but waited for me to come out and handed us some clothes and shoes.
"Thanks." I said gratefully.
"No problem, just hurry so we can get out of this place."
I was dressed in a short sleeved teal double hem tee with a picture of cat that had a pink bow on her head named Hello Kitty, with some khaki capri's and Diana jelly rhinestone sandals. Jade had on a purple, white, blue and black striped shirt, black capri's with a black belt and brown April gladiator sandals. Her shirt and capri's were a little to big but I worked when I tucked in the shirt and tightened the belt.
When we came out the boys were in different clothes too. Sal was decked out in Tony Hawk, from head to toe, only he didn't find any T. H. shoes. Ari wore a short sleeve plaid shirt and a white tee underneath that said property of cougars, with denim shorts and the same shoes. Luke had on a cute little gray short sleeve shirt that had two boys, one with a triangle head and red hair and the other with a square nose and green hair, it had the words 'So Not BUSTED' on it, with black basketball shorts and some sandals that matched the shirt. Rascal, like Rosie, had something that would fit them, so the just got the clothes that were on the baby dolls.
Sal handed me and Ari, a backpack. They were full of clothes, food, coats, blankets, and shoes. He put Luke, Jade and the twins's backpacks in the basket in the back bottom part of their strollers.
"Alright, we need to leave." Sal stated.
"Well we can't go through the front, that's suspicious. let's go through the back and then we can figure out where we're going from there." Ari suggested.
"Smart move, bro." Sal said patting him on the back.
