Nicole's pov
So let's start to where it all began. My 'mom' had me when she was 19. She was crazy and irresponsible and didn't even know who my dad was.
Pathetic right?
So she tries raising me, but that didn't work out well. Her family wouldn't take her back after she had me so we were on our own.
Well I was on my own.
She spent most of her time clubbing and partying with all of her friends. When I was 5, she was arrested and I was put into a foster home.
It was awful. I lived there for 8 months with 11 other kids. The house was run down and we had 3 rooms.
The foster parents were terrible. They didn't care what we did, as long as it didn't cost them money.
We had three beds for 12 kids, so two of us would sleep on each bed at night. We would switch each night.
When social services found out our living conditions, we were all sent to another foster home.
The next one wasn't much better. The parents were mean and harsh. They once locked me in the closet for a day for spilling my water at the dinner table.
I'm pretty sure that they forgot that I was in there because my best friend Colton let me out.
Colton and I traveled to the next three foster homes together, but then he got adopted.
We haven't talked since, but that's ok with me if he's finally happy.
I was in a total of 13 foster homes by the time that I was in 8th grade when I met my friends.
I was finally adopted by this really nice family. The moms name was Sue Mendes and the dad was Marcus Mendes.
They had four other children. Their names were Hope, Joy, Craig, and Stuart. They were also adopted.
Joy was the oldest. Then Craig, Hope, Me, and Stuart. To be honest I love this family, but I had a hard time fitting in.
I was different and my new parents tried to help me but it wasn't working.
My appearance was my biggest setback. I was always known as the goth/emo girl, but that's how I felt comfortable.
I felt like I was sheltered by my piercings and my hair color. I couldn't really be that hurt because no one wanted to be around me.
I knew that people talked behind my back but I didn't care. I was alone, like normal.
My 'parents' did whatever they could to make me feel better, which I really appreciate. They weren't too fond of my tattoo, but it's not like their gonna make me get it removed.
It made me happy so therefore they were happy. They just wanted for me to be happy...
I remember the day when I met my friends. That day I was finally happy.
~Eighth Grade~
"Watch where you're going freak" Claire Parkens snapped at me when I accidentally bumped her in the hall.
"Sorry" I mumbled.
"What freak?" She turned around and asked me.
"I said sorry!" I snapped.
"What makes you think that you can have that attitude with me?" She snarled.
"Leave her alone" a voice came from behind me. I turned around.
"Stay out of this Lynn" Claire said.
"No" the girl Lynn replied. "Gosh Claire what don't you understand. No one likes you. The only reason that people hang out with you it because they're afraid of being made fun of".
"You can't be talking Lynn because look at the losers you're hanging out with"
The Lynn girls face turned red. She looked like she was about to beat the crap out of Claire. She balled a fist with her hand.
"Lynn don't!" Another blonde girl grabbed Lynn's hand. I think that her name was Madison or something.
"Aw Lynn's little pet made an appearance. I thought that she would be waiting at the door until her parents get home, which will be never" Claire laughed.
"That's it!" Lynn snapped and shoved Madison off her and lunged at Claire.
An all out fight broke out between those two and a crowd showed up.
"Oh crap" Said a dark-haired girl that stood next to Madison. "What happened Mads?"
Madison sighed, "Just Claire being Claire". The girl turned to me.
"Isn't your name Nicole?" she said.
"Yeah" I said quietly.
"Im Emmy" she said "We have math toget- MADDIE!" She shouted.
Madison jumped on top of Claire when she was hitting Lynn. Soon enough Emmy tried pulling Madison and Lynn off of Claire and I tried to help.
Well next thing I knew we were sitting right outside the principles office. Lynn and Nicole were in there right now.
Madison sat next to me. She had tears in her eyes.
"You ok?" I asked.
Immediately her eyes dried up.
"Yeah I'm good. What about you? Claire was just harassing you?" She asks me.
"I'm good. I'm just surprised that someone would actually talk to me knowing my appearance" I said.
"Why why you say that?"
"I look like a freak!"
"No you don't" Madison argued.
"What?"
"You look normal to me. I think that's you actually look cool. No one else in this school can pull of that look. I like it" She smiled.
"Thanks" I said.
"So who do you hang out with?"
"Huh?"
"You know. Your group of friends"
"Oh" I said and looked down. "I don't have any"
"Yes you do"
"What?" I asked confused.
"You have Emmy, Lynn, and I" she said.
"I don't even know any of you"
"That's what sleep overs are for" she said and smiled.
"Really? You'd want a freak like me as a friend?" I asked her.
"We're all freaks" she said and smiled. "Life would be boring without freaks like us".
The words she said made me happy. I was feeling joy, something that I haven't felt in a long time.
~flashback over~
Ever since then all of us have been the best of friends. I've been the happiest that I have ever been and I couldn't thank them enough for it.
