Pauline awoke in the morning with a terrible headache. She got up and scratched her head. Every part of her body hurt and she moaned as she walked out of the room. She looked around and remembered everything that had happened. She had met a nice family and they took her inn. She walked down the hall, searching for the bathroom.
"Good morning, Pauline? How did you sleep?" She turned around and saw Helen standing next to her. Helen hugged her quickly and Pauline gave her a small smile. "I slept well, thank you Helen. But now I'm searching for the bathroom. Could you tell me where I can find it?" Helen laughed softly. "Sure, dear. You just have to walk dowe hall a little further and then behind teh green door is the bathroom." She smiled at the young girl. "We are in the kitchen. So when you're ready you can come and have breakfast with us!" Pauline hugged her tightly. "Thank you, Helen!" "You're welcome!"
JD woke up feeling quiet well, even if he hadn't slept much this night. He had been thinking about this girl all night. And when he slept he even dreamed of her. He took his glasses from his bedside table. He got up and took some fresh pants and a short and left his room. Some seconds later he entered the bathroom and locked the door behind him, without looking inside the room first. As he turned around her saw Pauline standing there with just a towel wrapped around her waist. She was blushing and her face was all red. She covered her bare breasts with her arm. Waterdrops were running from her wet hair down her chest and belly. JD was shocked and could barely do anything. "OH, I....am......I am so- sorry! I ..... I didn't knew you were in here." He stammered his cheeks turning into a rosi color. he ran his hand through his short black hair to hide his shyness. "I...it's my fault....I should have locked the door first when I got in." She stuttered and couldn't help but look up and down on JD. After all she was a young girl, but she never had much contact with boys. JD was well build and his muscular chest was going up and donw heavily. His black skin was shining in the light. Pauline blushed again as she noticed that she was staring at him. JD smiled at her behaviour. She was a cute girl and even if he had Josephine he couldn't help but look at her forms. She was thin and her skin had excactly the same color as his. She was still young but her body was turning into a woman. "So you are JD right?" She asked him shyly as she tried to hide her embarassment from him.
"Yes I am and you are Pauline right?" He smiled at her hoping she hadn't noticed his curious looks. She nodded her head and both remained quiet for a while. They were both nervous and had no clue what to say or do next. "So I'll leave you alone here and use one of the other bathrooms." JD said as he turned to leave. "I'm sorry! I didn't know that this is your bathroom. I can leave if you want." Pauline said quickly and JD looked at her again. "It isn't my bathroom. You can use it whenever you want. And I don't want you to get a cold when you walk around like this." He looked up and down on her. Pauline blushed again and nodded. "Thanks JD!" She whispered and JD smiled at her. She was really cute. "No problem, Pauline!" Then he closed the bathroom door behind him.
He walked down the hall to one of the other bathrooms. His heart was still beating fast and his mind was full of this girl. She seemed so familar to him, so close. He was confused and wanted to lay donw again and sleep. But he had to get ready. He, his brothers and their girlfriends had to go to the library to work for their projects at school. And for the first time in his life he didn't want to work for school and his project for biology. But they had to start working on it and he knew how Bunji and Eric would react when he said he didn't want to come. And Josephine would be angry at him.
"So I have to go then!" He said to himself as he reached another bathroom.
"So Pauline, what do you want to do today?" Helen asked the young girl as she joined the family in the kitchen. Pauline took a roll and some marmalde. "I want to go to the adoption-centre and ask them some questions." Helen looked at her sons. "Boys, don't you go into the city? You could take her to the central and pick her up later!" Eric drank his coffee and nodded. "Sure thing, Mom, we can take her there."
Pauline got out of the car and waved at JD, Eric and Bunji. "So we are at the libraray. It's just 3 streets away from here and you can ask them inside where we are." Eric said to her through the window. "Ok, I'll come to the library, when I'm finished here." She said and had to promise the boys one more time that she would aske somebody when she got lost. "I'm not a little baby!" She said annoied and the boys waved at her and drove away.
Pauline walked through the halls of the huge building. People were running around and didn't seemed to notice her. But that wasn't new for her. No one ever noticed her much. Just when she won a competition and her picture was in the newspapers. *The youngest person in the history wins competition* She liked it when people asked her things or congratulated her to her success. But all of her classmates were jealous and treated her as if she was an ant.
She finally found the office she had been looking for. She knocked on their door and immedietly someone answered. "Come in." A male voice said and Pauline opened the door. "Excuse me, Sir. My name is Pauline and my aunt told me to....." "Ahhh, I know who you are, your aunt called me yesterday and told me that you'll visit me. Please take a seat." he smiled at her friendly and pointed at a seat right in front of his desk.
"So, Pauline, you want to know something about your family?" He asked her looking at her. "Yes, Sir, I know that my mother is dead and that my father vanished and is dead by now too." She stopped and looked at the man. Maybe she waited for him to interrupt her and tell her that her father was back or that his mother wasn't dead at all, but nothing happened.
"But i don't know if I have any sibilings." She continued and watched him again. Suddenly the man got a bright grin on his lips. "Yes, you have a brother, an older brother and he's living here. He was adopted many years ago and lives happy with a nice family, I know them, we are good friends. His name is Joshua David, JD Bennett!"
