Adoption at its Finest (2)

One by one, the littler girls got adopted. None of us sadly. No one above 10. It drove me insane. Why didn't they want us? Because we're not five or younger?

I get dressed in my other set of clothes and do my typical morning routine. Today was another adoption interview. 'Yippee.' I thought to myself sarcastically. Why do I even try? I'm just going to be disappointed.

I run down the stairs to see a couple standing there.

"Girls, this is Mr. and Mrs. Ethan and Ella James." Mrs. Taylor said.

These people only went to the eleven year olds then stopped. What was much worse was i was next in line. They looked at me and didn't even smile! Well I don't want to live with these people.

Ella starts whispering to Ethan. The she shouts... "We know which girl we want!"

"That's great now we need to send the girls upstairs for just a moment and-" Mrs. Taylor was cut off by Ella.

"We want Carrie!"

My heart sank. What? They didn't even talk to me! I began stepping forward when another girl had stepped forward with me.

They must have meant the other Carrie. They actually talked to her. Before I could step back the other Carrie said...

"Which one of us? We're both Carrie."

Ella of course replyed. "You of course! Of course we'd never pick her."she said to the other Carrie while scanning me up and down and finally ending with giving me a dirty look.

I felt tears in my eyes and everyone starred at me. I suddenly burst into tears. I ran up the stairs as quickly as possible. Mrs. Taylor didn't try to stop me either.

I sat in my room crying and looked at my calendar on the wall.

22.

That was how any interviews I've had this year. Its June now. Its super rare to have interviews one day after another. Tomorrow we have another one. Maybe 23 will be my lucky number. Though I doubt it.

I dance when I'm upset so that's exactly what I do. I dance. Then all of the sudden I stop. What am I doing? I need some sleep. I get into bed and cover my head. My roommate whose still downstairs will probably wake me up with in the hour but I don't care.

All I want to do is lay here.
