Hi my name is Paige. I have like the crappiest life ever. My mom didn't want me when I was little and that's why I've lived with a bunch of foster families. I know I have three sisters, and a grandmother, but they don't want me either. Each foster home didn't want me either so I've never really belonged anywhere. Yup that's my life, and you know what? It sucks. I'm twelve years old I'll be thirteen soon. I'm in seventh grade. I've got long dark brown hair, ultra pale skin, and dark pools for eyes. Well now my new foster family, the Mathews, live in San Francisco. They seem pretty nice, but I'd better not get too attached, because they'll end up sending me away like the rest of the crappy families. I go to a school where there are grades 7 through 12. I'm gonna be called a sevee, I can feel it. Well I'm right outside the door, breathe, here I go...
As I walked down the halls these people give me strange looks. Is it my clothes? I look pretty nice though, I've got a pinkish blouse on with a black skirt. I shaved today so my legs aren't vulgar, and my hair is down. I don't wear glasses or braces. Well actually there was a period of time when I had bad vision but when I rubbed my eyes I felt better. I had like some soothing touch. I felt white light rush through me. Then I could see clearly. That's besides the point though. I really didn't understand what was wrong with me. I walked up to the principal's office to sign in.
"Uhh, yes Paige. Wonderful, we'll need to pick your mentor out of a hat..."
"Umm, sir, excuse me, what mentor?"
"Oh yes, all sevvies, I mean seventh graders, need a sophomore mentor. We pick them out of hats," said Mr. umm principal I guess?
Just then a girl in short-shorts with bright blond hair walked up to me and started talking snobbishly.
"Just hope that you don't get Freebie the freak! She can turn you from new kid to weirdo! I mean you are kind of pretty. Consider joining the cheerleading squad, but stay away from all dorks, geeks, nerds, and freaks, and you'll do fine..uhh... Pam right?"
"Umm no, actually I'm Paige," I said a little too confidently.
She flipped her hair and walked away from me. The principal picked a name from the hat and read it aloud. Conveniently the mentor I would follow would be Phoebe, or Freebie. She was summoned to the office and came in. I'm telling you Freebie was definitely the name for this Phoebe. She had dark hair that she wore down with red streaks. She wore a short skirt with striper tights and pointy boots. She and a leather jacket that had the logo "don't mess with me". She walked up to me and said, "Hey, sevvie, I'm Freebie and I'm your mentor."
I was kinda scared of her but I didn't let her know, so I gave her my toughest look and said, "Hey," right back.
"I like you kiddo, name's Paige right?"
"At least you know my name, that other girl in the short-shorts said that my name was Pam, and that you were a freak," I said.
"You mean Paula, she's a wiener," she rolled her eyes and said, "Come and meet my friends and sisters. As we walked to meet the people that Freebie was talking about I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm so, sorry," I said. I looked up at who I bumped into, and I could've fainted.
"Hi, I'm Derrick, but everyone calls me Dare," he smiled, "I haven't seen you before, what's your name?" Dare's electric blue eyes stared into mine. In the most sexy tone of voice I had, I said, "Hello Dare, I'm Paige," I stood up gave my hair a casual flip and said, "see you around, Dare," I walked away making sure my movements were slow and dramatic doing a sexy cat-walk. Phoebe rolled her eyes, and we walked on. She led me to a preppy group of girls with a black-haired one in the middle.
"Hey Prue, this is Paige, the new girl," she said.
"Prue eyed me and then smiled, "Phoebes, go easy on her and don't turn her into some punk, ok? She has a privilege to be on the squad you know. We need a tenth person to do the splits," she said.
I did gymnastics a long time ago and smiled, "Sure no prob," I told everyone to step aside and all the preps, punks, geeks, freaks, nerds and dorks were watching as I did a mini routine in the halls. I did a couple of kick-overs, cartwheels, round-offs, two handed, one handed, and for my fan ale I did a double aerial and landed in the splits, yelling "Go Team!"
Prue and all the preps were all shocked. Everyone was amazed. Freebie was speechless. Paula was practically unconscious.
"What, you guys never seen a cheerleader before?" I asked.
"You're so on the team!" cheered Prue. Everyone clapped, I bowed and then I went on with my life. Phoebe took me to my classes that were next to hers. At the end of the day Phoebe and Prue invited me over.
"Sure, I'll just call my mom and tell her, ok?" I felt for my purse, but it wasn't there. I yelled purse! Then the weirdest thing happened, the purse magically appeared in my hand. Prue and Phoebe, didn't see, thank god. I tried to forget about it and called my mom and told her that I'd be staying at their house for the day. She said ok so Prue drove us to their home. As I walked inside something felt so familiar about the house that it almost scared me. A girl, probably a junior was sitting on the couch watching seventh heaven. "Oh my god, I love that show!" I said.
"Really? Me too!" She said. She had long light brown hair that she wore long. She had the same whirl-pool eyes like mine. It really freaked me out.
"I'm Piper!" the girl said.
"I'm Paige!"
"Piper, Paige is new at school and is a new member of the squad. Umm, why don't I show her around, Phoebe, you like clean up a bit, and Piper, you can cook," Directed Prue.
"You really don't need to do that," I said bashfully. I never really had friends. I was more of a loner. I had one friend in my life and she committed suicide. Her name was Carry Hart. After that I was scared to get close to anyone else, but for some reason, I had to be friends with these girls.
"So Paige, Where are you from? Who are your family members?" asked Phoebe. The last phrase, 'Who are your Family members,' swam inside me like a virus. I suddenly felt cold and I blurted it out.
"I don't have any family members. I'm a, I'm a... foster child. My mom had me, and then just gave me up. I supposedly have three other sisters who live here and I really wish that I could find them." I told them of all the foster homes I lived including an orphanage in Brookline. Piper was going to cry, Prue was going to faint, and Phoebe looked shocked.
"We'll do whatever we can to find your three sisters!" The three girls said in unison. It was settled. One way or another we were gonna find my family!
