" As soon as Mary left it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of Julia's chest. Finally, she thought, now maybe they wont think I'm a psychopath. She turned to see her new parents.
"Um . . . hi again." She said with an embarrassed smile spread across her face.
"Ooh, this is so exciting, we finally have another girl in the family." Amy squealed. Julia looked over at the first car and saw someone staring out of the window. It was dark, and she couldn't see any details about him.
"Um . . . who is that?" she said pointing over at the first car. Amy followed her gaze and sighed.
"That just john. He's decided he's going to be a meanie!" she yelled loud enough so that he could hear her. "So I don't think he will come out any time soon." She turned to smile at Julia. "So lets introduce you to everyone." She said.
"Um, alright."
"That is Joel," Amy said pointing at the man who came out of the second car. He nodded in her direction.
"Hi." He said.
"Hey."
"And that is Mathew," Amy said pointing at the thin boy that was behind Joel.
"H-hello." He whispered, giving a weak smile to Julia.
"Hi." She said warmly.
"The twins are Conroy and Markus. The only way we can tell them apart is that Conroy likes to wear white, and Mark likes to wear darker clothes." Amy said.
"Hi!" they both simultaneously yipped.
"Uh, hi . . ." she said.
"That's Luc," Amy said pointing to the pail boy who was smiling like an idiot towards a girl across the street. "Oh and his name is spelled L.U.C, but pronounced Luke. Remember that, because he gets mad if you don't." Amy whispered to Julia
"Hmm, he seems to be spacing out right now." Julia said. "How tall is he, 5'4?" Amy laughed and Luc snapped out of his daze and glared at Julia.
"Hey! I am not short." Then he got a sad look on his face. "I'm not." He whined like a small child.
"Alright dude, don't got to get all sad over it." Julia said.
"Oh ignore him. He's always making a big deal over nothing at all."
"Aww, you don't have to be like that." Julia giggled. This was going to be an interesting family.
Everyone talked, well, almost everyone. The boy known as John was still hiding in the car parked just a few feet away from everyone.
"Alright well I think we should be heading home right about now." Michael said looking at his watch.
"Okay hun, oh Julia, what do you think we should get for dinner?" Julia stared at Amy.
"U-uh . . . I-it really doesn't matter to me, you pick." She said.
"Well you are the newest part of the family now. So what is your favorite thing?"
"Probably blood." Joel muttered under his breath giving a not-to-pleasant look at Julia. It was so faint that Amy didn't seem to hear, but Julia did. Another weird thing about her, she can hear really well.
"Well, um, do they have any place's that sell pupusa?" the small group let out giggles.
"What the heck is that?" Conroy asked still laughing.
"Its Salvadorian food. Its mostly sold at a place called La Bamba. There was one back at an old foster home I had in California, the family was Spanish, its really good. But um. . If there isn't anything like that around here then pizza would be a good choice too."
