Here's Your Present!

You wake up at 5 am. Being alone in your room, it is nice, that won't last much longer. The orphanage is bankrupt, most children are gone or leaving today. You look out your window and see a thin layer of snow building up. You sit on the window seat, only to get out your tablet and a headphones from your suitcase, along with art supplies. You check your birthday countdown. Only one more hour until you officially wouldn't have a chance at having a family. You decide to turn on music and draw on your sketchbook until you actually have to wake up, also a horrible hour later. You draw and draw and draw until the usual wake up call goes off.

"Wake up children, today is an adoption day! Get ready for adoption hours! Dress nice, eat food! Anyone 10 and up help anyone else get dressed. Pack everything!" The announcement ends and you get changed into your nicest clothes, also you repack your items. After helping younger children get dressed, you walk downstairs, eat, and then at 7, go to the interview lobby with the other waiting children. Other children have suitcases and walk out the door with their new families. Husband and Wife, Wife and Wife, Husband and Husband, Couples, Single people, and volunteers walk in and out, most children are leaving, maybe a few come in, but most leave.

Miss Harp comes out with a list, "Ok children, today we have a fairly large group of people coming in, first our toddlers will be interviewed, then kids, then preteens, and last but not least, teens, who have a new member," Miss Harp looks at you and winks, "Each group will have an hour and a half interview window. I hope all of you find a brillant home with a brillant family! Since sadly, this is our last day in operation, due to bankruptcy, as you all know." Before anyone can even try to give her money to pay for it, she walks off to talk to the incoming toddler adopting parents.

With a little more than 4 hours to spare, you sign out of the orphanage and walk down the street to the store. Money from chores on hand, you look around for some sort of birthday present, since today you are officially 13. You look at a fridge and search for the Cola, and to your surprise, they had run out. Just greeaaaat. You then go to the candy isle. You buy (Favorite Candy) and walk out of the store. You vist a couple other stores and before you know it, 4 hours and 15 minutes have passed.

You go back to the orphanage and sign back in. Once 15 more minutes pass, it is time for the teens to be adopted. Teens get talked too. Some leave, some stay, some aren't even talked to. I am the only one of those children. The hour and a half is up and I am left with Miss Harp.

"Y/N.... Since today is your birthday, I want to give you this. This was your mother's." She hands you her dear friend's locket. It was in the shape of heart and had a picture of her and your dad. You hug Miss Harp and thank her, with the necklace on your neck. She is about to turn the adoption hours sign when 3 men run to the door with one boredly walking behind. Miss Harp opens the door for them and they thank her, apoligizing for being late. They ask Miss Harp if they could adopt a kid of any age and she points to you. Soon you are happier than you have ever been and are grabbing your suitcase and leaving with the 4 men after saying farewell to Miss Harp.

"Thanks for adopting me!" You say in happiness once you reach the car and buckle yourself in. You then realize you forgot a crucial detail as the car starts to move. "Uh, what are your names?"

"Oh, sorry I was so excited I forgot to tell, I am Edd, I love art and Cola." Edd says, he has brown hair, a green hoodie and shoes of the same color, along with khakis.

Sitting to your left, a man said, "I am Matt! I love mirrors and collecting random items." He had ginger hair with a purple hoodie and a green overcoat.

"Do I have to do this Edd?" A man with black eyes, a blue hoodie, brunette spikey hair, and checkered shoes on.

"Yes, Tom."

"Fine, I am Tom, I like playing my bass and that is all." Tom said annoyed.

The other brunette, with a band-aid on the side of his face and red hoodie, who also was the driver said in a thick Norwegian accent, "I am Tord, but you can call me Daddy," Edd elbows him and calls him a pervert. "Ow. Well I like guns and robots." Edd, Tom, and Matt seem confused when he says he likes robots. I wonder why.

"Well I mean I want to get into building model robots." Tord quickly adds seeing the faces they made. The others seem much more content, but Tom is still upset.

Once you arrive at there house, they show you to your room and you smile, finally having a home.
