i watch as my siblings gather around to sort out a game of tag.
i kneel down on the long, soft grass and let the gentle wind mess with my hair as i observe the children i see as my family
well, i see most of them as family.
i let my gaze wonder to one of my best friends, norman.
in truth, norman is the only person i wouldn't consider my sibling.
but that's only because i've had feelings for him since we were 7 years old, meaning that i have liked him for around 4 years.
nobody knows, not even my best friend, emma. i'm too scared that someone will tell him if they find out.
even though i trust my friends, i still get worried that's because i have a massive fear being rejection. i don't think i would be able to handle the embarrassment.
i don't want things to change, but one day, all of my friends will get adopted and there's nothing i can do about it.
no matter how much i hate the idea of it, it has to happen.
maybe i'll see them after we've all been adopted and maybe they'll actually send letters this time.
hopefully.
i snap out of my thoughts as i hear someone approach me, it was emma
"hey (name)! we're thinking about playing tag, do you want to join?" my best friend asks.
"of course!" I smile at her.
i stand up and feel my knees have become sore from applying pressure on them for so long.
but i ignore it, in a way it actually feels sort of nice.
i walk over to the group as emma goes over to ray, turns out emma is 'it' this round.
we all hear the red-haired girl count loudly as we all run into the forest.
i know exactly where to hide, to be fair, the location of my hiding spot isn't actually within the area I'm supposed to be.
