Sea Side

Hi! Im Eliza Smith and this is my story

I was born in 1998 and when I was 4 both of my parents passed away. I was put into an adoption home and have been there ever since. Im 17 now and have never actually had parents come in to see me, i may be stuck here forever. I remember when I was 4 and my parents died

*Flashback*

“Mom, Dad?” I called out

“Honey!?” My mom called back

“Where are you!?” I yelled

“Get back as far away as you can from the house honey, we don’t know how much fire....”

Those were their last words.

“MOM?! DAD?!?!” I cried for hours sitting on the ground

The next hour was the worst of my life, i was told i was going to be put in an adoption home. But first I was taken to the hospital, i had really bad burns on my face and a broken arm. I don’t even remember what happened. All I remember is me getting thrown out of the house and it was really hot, having that conversation and then being rushed to the hospital.

But yeah here I am now and I have been for 13 years. Anyway more about me, I have long brown hair and bright hazel eyes, I love animals and I have never had my own pet.

Today is Wednesday March 21st 2019 and I am still in the orphanage. Today is the most boring day, 3 families came in looking for kids and they thought that I worked there. Ha, I wish, nope I am stuck here. Ughhh maybe someday.

One couple just came in, i was sitting on the couch and they came over to me.

“Hi honey.” The lady said

“Hi.” i replied kindly

“Do you live here?” The lady asked

“Um yeah I do, I came here when my parents died.”

Just then one of the ladies that worked here came up to us and asked the couple if they were looking for a kid. They said yes and pointed to me and asked if I was up for adoption. OMG! I may get adopted!

“Uh yeah she is up for adoption” The lady said strangely

“Can we adopt her.” The man asked?

“Uh Yeah! follow me right this way.”

The lady took the couple to the back and when they returned they had all of the paperwork filled out. I was going to be adopted! After 13 years of living here, finally I am adopted!

A few hours later

This couple is so nice. When we got in the car they introduced themselves. Their names are Meadow and Clay, they are a very rich couple that has been looking for a kid for so long and they thought that I was perfect.

When we got to their house, I could not even say it was a house; it looked like a whole entire castle. It was big and bright with a lot of windows and a big garden in the back. My oh my, it was beautiful. One of the ladies that was apparently like a maid type person came over to me and said that she was going to show me to my room.

I followed her upstairs, the hallways were so large I had a feeling that I was going to get lost very easily. When I walked into my room my mouth flew open. It was huge! I had my own TV and master closet with a full window. A four poster bed was up against one wall and on another was this beautiful desk with bookshelves. Everything in the room was white and clean and on the desk was a vase full of flowers.

The maid said that dinner was at 6 and that I would be called down when it was ready, or somebody would come and get me because it was only my first night here.

When the maid left I slowly looked around the room, everything was so pretty and clean. The cleanest I have ever had it before. It was only 3 o’clock so I had a few hours before dinner, so I decided to explore and look around. My first spot was my room and bathroom, they were both so big. In my bathroom I have a shower and a bathtub, both have a mini TV that I can watch TV on. I love it!

It’s so cool! I do feel like I am being spoiled though. Oooooo dinners ready, I wonder what we are having. I can smell some good stuff coming from downstairs but I can't place the smell.

The maid came up and got me and she said that for dinner was steak with mashed potatoes and side salad. For dessert was this like pineapple pie cake thing. It seems really yummy. When I came downstairs with the maid Clay greeted me with the biggest smile and Meadow beckoned for me to sit next to her.

I'm loving my new family! They are so nice! When we finished dinner and dessert, I asked if I could explore the mansion for a bit before bed, Meadow said that I could but not to get lost. Lets hope I don't.

I leave the table and go up the stairs and to the right. When I get to the end of the hallway one door awaits me at the end. I open the door to the biggest library I have ever seen! It is so big and it has so many different book shelves. I run back down the stairs and ask Meadow if I could find books to read, she was very surprised and didn't know that I had found the library. I pleaded and she said yes but only 3 because they were very special.

When I went back to the library I could hear that somebody else was in there. When I turned around I saw a guy that looked about my age. He was standing with his back toward me but from what I could see, he had light brown, orange colored hair and was wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

I turned back around and was looking for books again when I heard him sit down at one of the tables in the library. When I got my books I turned around, he was reading a book. I slowly and quietly left. He didn't even see me!

I went back up to my room and imagined him sitting next to me in the library and we are reading the same book, that would so nice. I did not realize that I had been reading for almost an hour. I closed my book and went to my closet to look for some pajamas. One shelf was all like dresses and skirts. Some were shorts and pants, and the other shelf was shirts.

Anyway, i found a pajama pair and got into it. I turned off my lamp and then got into bed, my first half a day here was great!
