Two days before the outbreak-

My foster sister, walked into my room yelling. "Kayla! Hurry up."

"Coming!" I answered.

I gathered my bag putting on my no longer white air-forces. I ran up stairs to be greeted by Ben, my faster father, and Cheryl my foster mother. "Morning Cheryl." I smiled.

"Morning beautiful girl."

I sat grabbed a piece of bacon, "gonna be late, I'll see y'all when I get home." I ran outside and began walking to school.

"Do you have a boyfriend yet?" My sibling asked. "No." I smiled holding her hand. Maya was six, as with me 17 turning 18 in the spring.

Our mother had us young but died due to server sickness and my father ran out and never came back. When he was found he refused to take us and gave up his custody for us. So we were sent to an orphanage. Ben and Cheryl agreed to foster us until someone was ready to adopt us.

Recently they have been talking about about adopting us, but they haven't been quiet sure.

"Kayla." I felt maya tug at my shirt.

"Yes"

"What the color of my shoes." She held up her foot. "They are pink." I laughed.

"Oh." She smiled. Maya had beautiful dirty blonde hair with green eyes. My hair was brown and I had hazel eyes.

"Alright, I'll wait for you after school." I let go of her hand, bending down and hugging her. "Love you sissy." She hugged the back of my neck.

"Love you" I watched as she ran to her friends. I sighed smiling.

I stood back up and began walking to school. I followed the path I had made from Maya's school to mine. I arrive checking my phone, i had two minutes before the bell.

I walked through the halls, scanning everyone.

"Have you heard what's happening in Seattle."

"There's an outbreak in Alabama, check it out."

"That shits creepy. I don't wanna talk about it.

"If it's not happening here, it's irrelevant."

I heard bits and pieces of conversations. I walk into my class sitting down as the bell rung.

"Hey Kayla, gotta a pencil." Sam asked me. "Yeah" I smiled

Sam is my best friend has been since I moved to Kansas. He was the one who saw me sitting alone on the playground in elementary school. He came up to me and we talked and talked. Ever since then he's been with me.

The teacher shut the door. "Alright class. Pull out your notebooks. Open to page 76 and begin reading, quiz is on Thursday."

-

"Hey have you heard the outbreak is in Colorado. It's spreading quick.I think it's spreading here next." Sam mumbled the last part following me

"Sam it's not going to spread to Kansas, we're fine. Calm down."

"People are already stocking up, Ben and Cheryl should do the same. I'm worried Kayla that's all." He grabbed my arm stopping me.

"We will be fine!" I laughed.

"Whatever you say!" He throws his hands up.

"Are you coming over?" I looked down at the ground. "Sure." He chuckled following me. We walked through the path getting to my sisters school.

"Kayla" my sisters yelled jumping into my arms. O held her up. "Hey bug. Have a good day at school." I smiled as Sam watched.

"Mhm." She smiled holding out her arms for Sam to carry her. Sam chuckled grabbing her.

He put her on his shoulders. She fiddled with his hair. "Mind if I stay the night tonight. I need your help with my homework." Sam looked at me.

"Yeah I'll check with Cheryl." We kept walking.

Arriving upon the house Sam let Maya down. She giggled and ran inside. "She's adorable." Sam smiled.

"She is." I smiled as I walked ahead of Sam.

"Hey hun. Oh my goodness. Sam, you've sure gotten bigger." Cheryl admired Sam.

"Thanks Mrs. Allan." He chuckled scratching the back of his head.

"Cheryl?"

"Yes hun?" She looked at me.

"Do you mind if Sam stays the night-" Sam interrupted me. "With all respect, I'll sleep on the floor." He grinned.

"We'll of course." Cheryl smiled. "Y'all go ahead and head to your room, dinner will be done in a few."

Me and Sam walked downstairs to my room. I laid on my bed. Sam laid next to me. "Do you ever wish we didn't live in Kansas?" Sam bit his lip looking at me.

"Yes. I wanna live in California." I giggle looking at the ceiling.

"Out of all places. California. Really." Sam put his arm behind his head. "Yeah." I faced him.

"Hm interesting." He chuckled.

I looked back up at the ceiling. "I hope this outbreak isn't serious. It's happening everywhere but... what really is it." I sigh.

"I thought you didn't like talking about it." Sam mocked my voice in the last part. I grabbed a pillow putting it over his face.

"Your right." I laugh.

"Kids dinner!" I heard Ben yell. "Let's go" I jump off my bed as Sam follows behind me upstairs. We ran down then hall sliding into the kitchen in our socks. Laughing as we reached the kitchen.

We went into the dinning room pulling out a chair. "Looks amazing." Sam smiled amazed upon the food.

"Dig in." Cheryl said cutting the chicken.
