Adopted by The Uries

|Chapter 5|

•Brendon's P.O.V•
•one week later•
It was finally the day that Shannon was official our daughter.

"I'm so excited!" Sarah squealed.

"So am I." I said, planting a kiss on Sarah's smooth lips.

"The poor kid had to wait so long for the paperwork to get done. I feel bad." Sarah said.

"Yeah. She was probably counting down every day." I said.

"Well, I should go get ready to pick her up. I want to make a good impression on the orphanage." Sarah said.

We both went upstairs.

I put a simple hoodie, jeans, and sneakers, while Sarah put on a purple polka dot dress and purple heels.

"Is this too much?" she asked, after finishing her makeup.

"No! You look amazing!" I exclaimed.

We locked the dogs in their playpen(since Bogart had destroyed the couch when we were gone once) and left the house.
•Shannon's P.O.V•
•ten minutes later•
Brendon and Sarah pulled up in front of the orphanage.

"I guess this is goodbye." Autumn said. I pulled her in for a hug.

"Promise we'll stay in contact?" I asked.

"Promise. I'll FaceTime you everyday." Autumn promised.

"I have to go. I'll miss you so much. Goodbye!" I said.

"Goodbye Shannon!" Autumn exclaimed as I left the orphanage.

I hopped into Brendon and Sarah's car.

"It's official! You're our daughter!" Sarah squealed.

"I know! I'm so excited!" I exclaimed.

"We enrolled you at Cherrywood High." Brendon informed me.

"Yeah. You'll start next week." Sarah said.

"Okay." I said.

"I was never a fan of school either." Brendon smiled.

"Do you wanna pick up McDonalds?" Sarah asked.

"Sure." I said.

We pulled up in front of the small fast food restaurant.

"I have to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I said, walking off to the bathroom.

I bumped into a girl who looked about my age.

She had curly brown hair and beautiful blue eyes.

"Sorry." she apologized.

"It's okay!" I said.

"I'm Cecelia, by the way." she said.

"I'm Shannon." I said.

"Where do you go to school?" Cecelia asked.

"I just got adopted, so I'm not in school yet. I'm starting at Cherrywood High next week." I told her.

"I go there too! Also, congrats on getting adopted!" Cecelia said.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Can I have your number?" Cecelia asked.

I gave it to her, and we headed our separate ways.

She seems nice, I thought to myself.

We left the restaurant with our food.

My phone buzzed in the pocket of my jeans.

I saw that I had a message from an unknown number.

Hi:) This is Cecelia from McDonalds! You seem pretty cool and I hope we can become friends:)

I texted her a quick "Hello:3" and then we got home.

Brendon and Sarah let the dogs out of their wooden playpen.

"Wanna watch a movie?" Sarah asked.

"Sure." I said.

We ended up putting on Hotel Transylvania.

It felt good to have a new family.

Hey guys!

What do you think of Cecelia?
