Hi. My name is Ari. Well technically Ariana. I am 14 years old. I live here, in Evans Orphanage. My hobbies include reading, singing, and playing my guitar.
I practiced my speech for Adoption Day over and over again. It was branded into my brain, practically. I crawled out of my bed and headed towards my rickety closet. Alisha was still asleep in her bottom bunk. I could wake her up, for her advice. I decided against it. I opened the closet and picked out a casual outfit. I quickly pulled on my Adias sweatpants and loose tank top. I slid my feet into my old blue converse. I brushed my hair into a messy ponytail, finishing my look with a spray of perfume. Just about now, Alisha began to wake up.
" Good Morning, Ali." I said
" Hey Ari." Alisha was the only girl in the orphanage who actually paid me any attention.
" I'm going to get dressed." Alisha said.

I walked into the kitchen and began my daily chores. I was the only one with daily chores. I set the long dining table and then unloaded the dishwasher. As I was finishing making breakfast, Ms. Evans came down the stairs.
" What are you doing!" She screeched.
" I'm cooking the breakfast." I calmly replied.
" NO YOU HORRIBLE VERMIN!" She flurried into the kitchen.
" I'm doing what you asked!" I raised my voice a little.
" NO!" She snatched the pan away from my hands.
" Fine!" I let go of the pan watching it fall to the ground.
" I will not have disrespectful children in the household!" She raised her hand to slap me. Just then, as the blow landed, a woman opened the door.
" Hello. I might be early, but i'm here for the Adoption Day?" I recognized the voice. Through the pain in my cheek, i got up and walked into the parlor. And there she was, Melanie Martinez.
" Oh, Hello." Melanie said. I stood in awe. The Melanie Martinez was standing right there. In front of me. Ms. Evans smacked my arm.
" Speech!" She hissed.
I began into the very much rehearsed speech.
" Hi. My name is Ari. Well, technically Ariana. I am 14 years old. I live here, in the Evans Orphanage. My hobbies include reading, singing, and playing my guitar." I decided to add something.
" I'm also a big fan of vintage, horror, and cats."
Melanie smiled.
" So would you like to look at the other gir-" Ms. Evans began.
" Her. I want her." Melanie said, her voice firm but caring.
" Me?!" I felt surprised.
" Her?!" Ms. Evans looked disgusted.
" Yes. Her." Melanie said again.
" Okay then. I'll go retrieve her papers."
We sat down in the parlor and Melanie began to talk.
" Your Melanie Martinez!" I said in disbelief.
Melanie giggled.
" So i take it you've heard of me."
" Have I?! I've listened to all your albums!" I can't believe i was siting here in front of her.
" I hope it won't be too much crazy for you."
It wouldn't. Nothing could be as crazy as meeting my idol.
