Another move another record. I put it down in the notebook I had in my hand. 1 month 6 days, my next foster home was hopefully only going to last a month.
"What are you writing?" asked my social worker, Michelle.
"Nothing." I said and shut the notebook. She had seen it before when it only had three in there, now it had eight. Michelle didn't nag, she just kept her eyes on the road. A sign passed that said 'Welcome to Ipswich' in fancy letters.
"You'll be going to a boarding school here in Ipswich called Spencer Academy. You'll have a home open for you but Spencer will be your main home. Raven, I am begging you to behave." she explained, the last sentence was a plea. I smirked 'so all I have to do is get kicked out of boarding school, this should be fun' I thought. It was my promise to make DSS's life hell until I was no longer on the state.
A girl was running along side the road and Michelle stopped.
"Oh hey Michelle! A new one for Spencer?" said the girl who was out of breath.
"Yeah, how are you Abella? Morning workout huh?" Michelle asked and Abella nodded. "Oh this is Raven, Raven this is Abella she'll be your roommate at Spencer." I nodded a greeting to Abella and then looked straight ahead. How did this Abella girl know my social worker? I didn't like the idea of sharing a room with another foster kid one bit. I'd already done it once before.
Michelle said goodbye to Abella and then we were on our way. We pulled into Spencer a few minutes later and I got out of the car. There was a catcall from a little ways off and I saw a blonde guy, about 17, and another guy, a little older with him.
"Hey Caleb, look at the newbie. If I wasn't with Bella I'd so go for that one. C'mon you've let your broken heart heal enough!" said the blonde.
"Shut up Reid she can hear you!" Caleb hissed.
"So?" Reid asked.
"So maybe I don't want guys saying how hot I am behind my back." I said walking over to them. "I much rather they say it to my face." Reid's mouth dropped as I walked back over to the car.
"Yeah she is totally your type." said Reid under his breath. "She looks like loads of fun and your no fun. She completes you."
'He did not just quote Ice Age did he?' I asked then I shunned myself for actually remembering that line. I carried my bags up to my room and braced myself for the long month ahead
