The f*******n Love

Chapter Two

The test was easy with six passages to read and answer questions, edit a messed up paper, answer 50 math questions, and write 3 paragraphs on one of three topics. I wrote all three topics because when I was done with the other parts and had already checked over them I had enough time to write about all three topics. By that time I still had 17 minutes to spare.

"Done already?" Asked April when I walked back out.

"Yes ma'am I am done and I was wondering where or what I needed to do now?" I asked.

"Everyone is just getting back from school now and we saw how little you have with you. I will be ending my shift for the day and already cleared it with everyone if you want I can take you shopping," She offered.

  "I don't have any money," I stated.

  "That's alright. I have money and your old foster family is being charged for you not having everything you need. That money will come later but for now you need something to wear that isn't a hand me down," She said with a sweet smile.

  I caved and we went shopping. There was a mall that I had passed on my way in that I totally missed. We went there and she spent a lot of money on me. I could now go two months without needing to wash a pair of pants, I could go another three months without needing shorts washed, I had a months worth of skirts and dresses. I could wear a different pair of shoes every day of the week. I had at least 5 shirts for every pair of pants, shirts, and skirts. She got me everything I would need for school from pens and pencils to notebooks and binders to a brand new laptop. I got jewelry to go with every outfit and make-up. She even let me get a make over.

I wake up at my normal time 4am. Every since I started school I would wake up at the same time on school days, it never failed 4am I would be up. Here I am in a strange place and the only one up, thanks to my brains silent alarm. I remember seeing a gym on the walk through yesterday so I through on some workout clothes and head over. There were no people around to check to make sure people stayed in their rooms which only made it easier for me to wonder around till I found the gym.

I spend an hour and a half in there before anyone noticed. I turned on music as soon as I walked in there from my 15 jog warm up to lifting weights for a half hour to a half hour full on run to a 15 minute cool down dance routine. When I looked over at the door I saw three girls a few years older than and a staff member of this place watching me in shock. I got nervous with them staring at me so I ran back to my room.

Back at my room the boys were just getting up. They had workout clothes on as I entered and they left. Only minutes after they left did a staff member come by. He saw me and looked me over before leaving again. Since I already finished my morning wake up call I showered and got ready for school.

"That was the hardest workout we've had yet," One of my room mates said as they walked back in the room.

"What type of workout?" I asked and both of them looked at me as if I had two heads.

"I know you came back as we were leaving but we do hard core stuff. We train for various sports teams and you wouldn't understand that but try and you can leave the conversation," He said rudely.

"Yea I wouldn't understand doing it just to make a team. I wake up every school since I started school at 4am and start my morning wake up call. I always workout at least an hour and a half sometimes longer even when I am sick. I have and will never join a team who judges weather or not you are good enough for them. So I wouldn't understand the team thing" I said slinging my book bag over my shoulder and walking out.

I walk down to see April back. She smiles at me and I smile back. I am wearing a pair of ripped skinny jeans, a blue tank top under a shirt that says let the good times roll with the back cut out. All new clothes she just bought me with the combat boots and leather jacket. My make-up is simple making my face paler with black eye liner, silver lips and eye shadow.

"You know school doesn't start till 8am right and everyone goes over together?" April asked.

"I know but my room mates were annoying so I just came down early," I answered.

"You come down to go to school at 6:30 an hour before everyone heads over for breakfast then school?" April asked

"What is the new girls name,"  A blonde yelled from the stares.

"Is there a problem with the new girl?" I asked and she looked at me shocked.

"No never mind," She said running off.

"Maybe you should wear brighter clothes. I should have only gotten you clothes that you would be accepted in," April said looking in the direction of the girl that just disappeared.

"Why do you say that. I am used to this kind of reaction and I accept this. I don't want fake people who can't look past the clothes or how I look. I like this style and I don't care what anyone else thinks," I said and my two room mates appeared.

"Sam, would you like to do a workout after all chores are done?" My one room mate asked.

"Is it okay if we call you Sam. I go by Alex even though my name is Alexander and Max here hates Maxwell," Alex my second room mate said.

"Yea, I'm okay with Sam. If we workout I don't want any complaining and no questioning my methods," I said sternly.

We talked about sports with them playing for real teams and my playing with friends or for some quick cash.

School was boring, they do school year round and for me I am starting a new year that for them they are two months into. Other than being told that I had two months of work to catch up on it was alright. School has always been easy for me so I finished most of my make up work before the class ended.

At lunch I sat by myself not eating and doing make up work. I finished the rest of the make up work I didn't finish in my first set of classes during lunch. No one sat with or even tried to talk to. It was peaceful until the bell rang signalling another class and a girl with too much make-up to talk to me.

"Hi new girl. You are joining th dance team but you need to get ride of all the darkness first," The girl said with a fake plasered on smile

"No," I said and walked faster.

"Yes," She said angry and I punched her breaking her nose.

I got pulled out of my next class for punching the girl. Even though I explained how she provoked me I still got in trouble. Now I have to attend and sing at the choir concert in three weeks but I can't talk to any family that shows up. On top of that I have to try out for the dance team because the girl I punched can't stay with a broken nose.

After school was over I had to stay in the gym for dance team tryouts. As everyone else was doing there thing I finished make up work form the second half of the day. By the time I went up there home work was done and everyone was staring at me. While everyone changed into comfortable clothes I kept my school clothes on. I turned on bad by wale and did a dirty dance hoping that they wouldn't want me on the team based on that song. Not only did I dance but I sang with the female part of the song.

"As you know we only have one spot and two alternates open. New girl show up to the gym you were at this morning same time. Jane and Bella you are alternates and we will see you after school tomorrow," The dance leader said.

With that we all went back to the dorms.  I walked into my room and the guys were there with some friends all studying with beer and smokes. I took a beer from Alex who looked at me as I took a drink from the bottle he was just drinking out of. Then I took a cigarette from Max that he had already smoked half. He gave me a dirty look until I tossed him my pack of smokes.

I was surprised to see no one came in to tell us we couldn't drink or smoke. No one came in and everyone left when it was time for lights out. Now this place has really hit the weirdness for me. They guys wanted to workout after school but we just ended up in a mini party with me being the only girl. Being the only girl at a party had its perks.

That is how I woke up naked in bed with both Alex and Max plus they were both naked. Alex was still half on top of me and I was half on top of Max.

I've been here three weeks now and Alex, Max and I are friends with benefits now. With my help they guys have gotten on the football team, basketball team, and have improved their times for cross country. My birthday passed two days ago and we had a great time with weed, beer, and s*x. The best birthday I've had in years. The choir concert I have to part take in but can't talk to the families wanting to adopt is tonight. The dance team won it's second competition in a row which hasn't been done in years and they think we might be able to go all the way this year.

Right now I am getting  ready for the choir concert which we are suppose to dress up to represent the home along with ourselves in the best possible manner. I dress in all black with a skirt, tank top, and leather jacket while my make-up is all black as well.

"What are you doing?" Rebecca, one of the other soloist tonight, asked with attitude when she saw me.

"Just ready to get this over with. Please don't start with my look tonight for I am so not in the mood for it," I said walking away from her.

"Samantha are you sure you want to go out the first time and present this kind of look?" April asked.

"Yes, I don't wear a mask. I am real with people no matter what and I think that is what a family will see when they adopt me," I answered proudly

She nodded before walking away. The concert is starting and I have the first solo and it is the first song so while I am standing where no one can see me, Mrs. Myers introduces me, "Our newest member to our wonderful home is Sammy-Joe singing a song she choose."

I come out with a nervous smile and wave to the audience.

"I choose to sing Family Portrait by Pink," I began after that and ended with "My good friend Alex will be singing a song of his own choosing." I ran off and Alex skipped onto the stage.

"Thank you Sam that was beautiful but I got something better for you. Its called Rude by Magic," He sang and the whole choir came up.

We sang Imagine me by Kirk Franklin, Don't stop believing by Journey, The A Team by Ed Sheeran, Heres to never growing up by Avril Lavigne, Wild horses Natasha Bedingfield, and we are young by Fun. Rebecca stayed on stage to sing Fancy by Iggy Azalea and The climb by Miley Cyrus.

After her I went back up with Max "You remember me from earlier, well now Max here picked to sing Whiskey Lullaby," I started "And I needed my good friend here to sing the female part of the song," Max said and began to sing. Once the song ended I left the stage. "I got another song for you By Nickelback it's called photograph," He sang his second song.

Jessica, Rebecca's side kick, went up and sang Diamonds by Rihanna and Paper planes by MIA. "Now we will have a break," She said once she finished.

While most stayed to try and possibly get a new family, I went outside. It wasn't like I could get adopted only been here three weeks plus I can't even talk to a family or I'd be in more s**t.  While I was outside I started to sing

"You have a beautiful voice," The mother said and I just nodded.

"How long have you been here?" The dad asked.

"I've only been here three weeks but I've been in the system since I was born," I stated without emotion.

"I think its time to go back in," The mother said with a smile.

We went back inside and I barely made it back without being noticed for talking to a family. I am sure I would get some grief for talking to them.

The choir then sang What it's like by Everlast, Glory and Gore by Lorde, Mean by Taylor Swift, I like it like that hot chelle rae, let it go from frozen, Black Parade by My chemical Romance, and My songs know what you did in the dark.

Alex and Max rapped Headlights by Eminem and Fast Lane  by bad meets evil, followed by Rebecca singing Becky from the block by Becky G and Jessica  singing Gangsta by Katherine Dahlia. Jessica and Rebecca sang Halo by Beyonce and Enough of no love by Keyshia Cole.

Then Mrs. Myers came back up "Thank you all for coming tonight and you are all more than welcome to stay for another two hours. We have a meal prepared for you. Have a wonderful evening.

While everyone was getting food I went next door to the band room to get out my guitar. I played Rise N Shine By BOTDF and Savior by BVB. Again the same family came in but April was with them this time.

"Samantha did you talk to this family earlier?" April asked while trying to stay clam in front of the family.

"Yes ma'am they came up to me while I was outside getting some fresh air," I answered.

"You know you have to be here at least six months before we let you talk to families?" She confermined

"I know ma'am," I said.

"We will talk later but now you have a year before you come in contact with any potential families alone with no free time for three months. Now you are going to be in school 12 hours a day with keeping up with the dance team," She said with a cold stare daring me to argue while the family is here. I stare her down right back and like everyone else she had to look away from me.

"We are sorry," The son said as his parents followed an angry April.

"For what do you have to be sorry about? I am used to being in trouble and I don't ever see me as adoption material. Do not worry about it and I wish you and your family the best," I said putting away the guitar.

"You will find a family one day. I'd put money on it," He said with a smile and left.

I walked back to the dorms without eating but before I got there I realized I was hungry. I left the neighborhood and broke into a*****e for food and stole some money. Three stores later I was full and now have about $200 to my name. All that without being caught and making it back before anyone noticed.
