Nicolas POV
"NICOLAS GET UP RIGHT NOW!" my adoptive mom says.
"I'M UP!" I yell as I get out of bed making my way out of my room into the hallway bathroom.
Once I get into the bathroom I brush my teeth,and wash my face. I was about to take a shower but then realized that I didn't have any clothes, so I left the bathroom and went to my room to grab my school clothes.
{after the shower}
After I put on my clothes,I was wearing a all white shirt,with a grey Nike zip up jacket,with matching pants,and my Jordans
I got my backpack,put my pencils and sketch book in since all my other stuff was already in my backpack,zipped it up,put it on and headed towards my desk to get my watch,after I put my watch on I headed downstairs.
When I got downstairs I saw my adoptive parents sitting on the couch watching tv,I paid no mind to them as they did me, and went to fix me some toast since I'm not that hungry.
After I got done with my toast,I left out the house on my way to school,I have to walk 9 minutes to my car everyday so Becky and David (the adoptive parents) won't be wondering where I got the money to pay for a car.
As I got in my car on my way to school I started thinking about my past,when I was about 6 years old,I woke up on the side of the street wondering how I got there,I remember getting found by this women,her name was Honey. She asked me where my parents were,I said I didn't know because I truly didn't know,I didn't even know where I was.
After that she took me to her house where I met Jayden and Alanii my best friends.
After a while we had to get taught how to fight and I was about ten when I asked her why we were learning how to fight and use weapons.
She said "You have to be ready for anything,you never know what the world is gonna throw at you." with her southern accent.
A few weeks later after I asked that, she died, when that happened I really understood her words.The cops said it was a car accident.
After that Jayden, Alanii and I, went into foster care,we would get adopted but always ended up back there,that is until I got adopted by Becky and David,and later on Jayden and Alanii did too,but by different people.
As I heard loud voice's I realized I was in the schools parking lot, I took my keys out of the ignition,unbuckled my seatbelt,grabbed my backpack,and got out.
After I got all the way out I closed the door, locked it and made my way into the school ignoring the looks people gave me as I walked by. As I get into the school I go to the cafeteria,spot my best friends and go to sit by them.
After we all got adopted we lost contact but then found out we all were going to the same school.
"HEY BITCH!" Jayden said,she always had a lot of energy.
"Hey babes." Alanii said.
"Hey."I say smiling.
"So you guys excited?" Jayden asked cheesing.
"Excited for what?" both me and Alanii asked.
"The party duh." Jayden said looking at us like we were stupid.
"What party?"I said confused.
"You never told us about a party."Me and Alanii said.
"I didn't"? Jayden said looking confused .
"No."me and Alanii said.
"Oh,we'll there's this party at jacobs house and he invited me,he said I could bring however many people I want,so I choose you guys,obviously." Jayden said.
Jacob is the school's biggest bully,none of us like him but whenever Jayden here's the word party she all in.
"Imma pass." I said.
"I'll go,ion want you to be alone there."Alanii said.
"Thank you Alanii."Jayden said.
"Mane please just this once you never go to parties." Jayden said.
"I'll think about it."I said as the bell went off, signaling us to go to class.
Me and Alanii only have 2 classes together but me and Jayden have all of them together.
"Nicolas Truman to the main office,again Nicolas Truman to the main office." I hear on the intercom.
When the intercom went off people began whistling,and some just stared at me.
Me and Jayden gave each other a look then I got up,grabbed my backpack,and headed out the door ,on my way to the office.

As I get to the office I knock on the door and here a faint, "come in".
When I open the door,I look around like I haven't been here more than 30 times,but this time it's different,there's people standing there.
Both tall,good posture,dark but not too dark skin,and wearing suits. One had his curly hair in a bun staring directly at me,while the other had more of an Afro staring straight ahead.
I don't really pay much attention to them,but I feel like I know them,I just can't put my finger on it.
"Nicolas" i hear my name being called bringing me out of my thoughts
"Yea" I said
"You might want to have a seat" the principal Ms.Jefferson says
I didn't even realize I was still standing,but I still go over to the very uncomfortable,hard white chairs and sit.
"So umm,I don't know how to put this" Ms.Jefferson says
"Just get on with it already"
"Your parents died in a car crash,some drunk driver hit them driving on the wrong side of the road,I'm so sorry for you lost" Ms.Jefferson says while looking at me with sympathy
As soon as I hear that,I just pause and realize I don't care,if anything I'm happy,free, something I haven't been for a while.
See my "Adoptive parents"when I first got there they acted all sweet,but I didn't fall for it thinking I was just going to go right back to the orphanage,but then a few months passed and I started to get hopeful,but then that's when the abuse started.
At first it was just a hit and a kick here and there,but as time went on,they started to do more than just hit and kick.
"So where am I going?" I asked with no emotion
Ms.Jefferson looked shocked for a moment,but quickly composed herself.
"Your going home with your brothers and sister".Ms.Jefferson said with a happy face
As soon at she said that I wasn't happy anymore,I didn't feel free anymore,I felt like I was trapped in a box,that was closed shut,and just couldn't escape.
"Brothers? ,Sister?"I ask with a confused face
"I don't have siblings" i state
"Yes you do,you have 4 brothers and 1 sister,2 of them are on your right" Ms.Jefferson says as I look to my right finally realizing where I know them from.
My dreams,there from my dreams.Sometimes I get flashbacks of me playing with these little boys,and laughing with this little girl,I never knew who they were but I guess I do now.
I observe them,their tense,scanning my face for a reaction but I don't give them one,they both have a gun on their hip,one that I didn't notice before,face cold trying not to give any sign of emotion,but there eyes betray them.
"Hi,I'm your oldest brother Diego,I'm happy to see you again"
"And I'm your second oldest brother Marcus,te extrane"
(I missed you)
They both say with a smile on their faces,but only for a second,it's gone just as fast as it came.
"I'm Nicolas,but I'm sure you already know that" I say just looking at them
"Yea,we do" Marcus says
"Where do you live"i ask looking directly at them
"Los Angeles"They both say
I just nod,then there's awkward silence
(A few moments later) in SpongeBob voice
"So the car is outside,we're going to stop by your house so you can get anything you need,and if there's anybody you need so say bye too or you need to get something from here you can,we go be here when you get back"Diego says
You can leave,I won't mind. That's what I wanted to say,but instead I just settled with a little nod.
I get up thinking about how they are giving me permission to do things like I'm their kid,I don't need permission.
As I walk out I feel three eyes on me but I don't pay any attention to them,my main focus is on finding my friends,first what time is it? I look at my phone that I had in my side pocket, it says 11:49 so lunch should still be going on. At lunch me Alanii,and Jayden all eat outside at the back of the school, because we can talk without having to raise our voice,there isn't many people, and it's peaceful.
As I get to the back of the school I see my friends and head over to them.
"Wsp" I say sitting down on the grass in front of them
"Where you been?" They say in unison
(After telling them what happened)
"So you telling me after all this time yo 'long lost brothers' just show up outta no where,you adoptive parents dead,you got five brothers and 1 sister,and moving to LA?"Jayden asks as she took a long deep breath
"Yup" I say standing up,and as I am I see Alanii's eyes watering
"Please don't cry,I'll still call and text,and maybe we can meet up one day"i say going to hug Alanii
"I guess you can't go to that party"Alanii says laughing as me and Jayden join in
I then go and hug Jayden and Alanii,telling both of them how I'll miss them and I love them.(Even though it's only three ^ it seems like a lot)
"Lunch over already",I say after I get done checking my phone
"We should get going" Alanii say
"You better not forget about us"Jayden says with a little humor
"Never"I say smiling,heading back to the office while they go to their classes.
(Back in the office)
I didn't need to get anything because I don't put nothing in my locker,and my backpack right here.
"See you later,I'll miss annoying you"I say hugging Ms.Jefferson
"And I'll miss suspending you" Ms.Jefferson says with a tight lip smile.
I don't say goodbye to people I'm close with,just see you later.
"I'm ready"i say getting my backpack then turning around to face the two brothers.
"Ok,let's go" Diego says swiping his hand in front of him pointing towards the door,signaling me to go ahead.
I sigh as I walk out heading towards the entrance.

(In school parking lot)
I start to walk over to my car,but then I here my name being called. I turn around to see both of my brothers signaling me to come back.
"What?" i ask staying still,and not raising my voice because we weren't that far
"The car's this way" Marcus says pointing towards their car
"Mines this way"I say pointing towards my car
"I'll meet you their". Do you know the address? I ask them looking at their stunned faces
Diego the first one to come back to his senses,says yes my social worker told them,that had me wonder where she was but ok.
I nod,as I walk to my car,and get in,as they do the same.
As I set my backpack down,and start my car and start driving I just think,
My name is Nicolas Truman and my life just turned upside down.
