Adopted (ON HOLD)

Chapter 4. High hopes

  We finally got back from what felt like forever at that school, good thing my first day was a Friday and I didn't have to go back until a few days. So, I was finally gonna get some peace and quiet and hopefully, no one bothered me.

"Hey Vi"
Calum said looking at me. I looked up at him from the floor where I was sitting.  Looked liked my plans were ruined.
     "It's Violet"
I said looking up and then back at the picture I was drawing.
     "well I guess, hey Violet"
He chuckled a little at what he said.
     "hey... I guess"
I said.
      "what are you doing today?"
He asked
      "Wouldn't you like to know?"
I asked still looking at him. He stood there looking at the blank walls and then me.
      "I know, move in get to know us were good people"
I said mocking people from other Forster homes.
      "no, no, no"
he said looking at me and shaking his head.
       "it gives this room the whole I'm starting over kinda vibe.... I like it"
He said giggling a little. I rolled my eyes at him.
       "so, why don't you smile"
  He said I looked at him and nodded.

"I do, but I don't like too much, I learned not to raise my hopes too high there are electrical wires above us"          

"well good news there are no electrical wires around here your safe"
he said patting my shoulder and sitting down next to me.
      "what are you drawing?"
I slid the picture to him as he looked at. He looked confused.
      "What's the picture about?"
He asked after looking at it for an awhile.
      "why is one side light and the other dark?"
I looked at him nobody ever cared about my art before nobody cared to ask what it meant.
     "It's your mind....my mind at least you have the light side"
I said point to the bright side of the paper.
      "and the dark?"
He said pointing to the other side.

"Yeah I guess so"
     "this is amazing, I wish I could draw like that"
      "I could teach you if you really wanted to learn"
      "cool"
he stood up and reached his hand out. I looked at him.
"come on, you can trust me"
I took his hand and got up.
      "what now?"
I asked as we sat on the bed in my room.
    "Tell me about yourself, you know if you want too"
       "I guess so, what do you want to know?"
I asked.
        "anything, everything you're my sister now" 
       "well umm..my full name is Violet Marina Smith, I'm left handed, my favorite passion is drawing and hiking...I don't know."   

  "What else do you want to know?"
I asked thinking of what to say     

"What's your favorite color?
"Where are you from?"
"What's your favorite place?"
"If you could only eat one food what would it be?"
" What's your favorite TV show?"
"What kind of music do you like?"
" Do you have any friends?"
" What's your favorite drink?"
"Do you have a nickname?"
"are you done?"
I said kind of annoyed.
"one more why don't you smile or laugh or show a human emotion except for anger?"
    "Well... I like orange, I think South America, but my mom, my brother, my dad, my pet hamster and I moved to Australia when I was three." 

"I don't have a favorite place unless you count the old trailer park."
       " One food maybe apples. A tv show would have to be New Girl."
       " I like anything except dubstep."       

"Sadly I don't have any friends unless you count the dead."
    " My favorite drink is iced lemonade coffee and my nicknames, I already said call me Violet and I told you, I don't like getting my hopes up. So I live in this bubble, so people won't hurt me."     

"Are you done asking questions?"

"I guess so..."

" Good, I guess that means you can leave me alone now"

I said as he started to get up and walk out my room door.

"hey...."

"WHAT ?!" I said annoyed because for once, I thought he might just once listen to me as I ask for space.

"Next time, I will tell you about me"

He said smiling as he finally left my room. I couldn't help but smile to myself after that.
