I picked the remote control up and switched channels,
“Hey man! I was watching that!”
“Yes, me too, switch it back!”
It was so annoying living in an orphanage, I never had any time on my own, I was always surrounded by other kids.
“Ok, ok, calm down!”
I turned the channel back over.
“I’m going up to my room anyway!”
I stood up, but just as I was about to walk out, Mrs Parker, our warden, came walking in.
“Michael, I have some great news for you!”
“What?”
“A family wants to come to see you, they are looking for a child to adopt.”
My mouth fell open in shock, I was 15 years old, I didn’t think anyone would ever be interested in adopting someone my age.
