While I was in the car with my friends, I received call from my sister. This surprises me a bit because it is rare that she uses her smartphone for anything other than sending photos or videos. I understand by listening to it that we go straight to hell with what has just happened. Grandmother has once again had a heart attack, and this time we will be entrusted to a family that often has children in our situation. I have to go back quickly to learn more because the dwarf is completely outdated by this situation as sudden as unexpected.I ask Smocker to speed up to take me home quickly. This day is from the beginning very rotten, between Samuel, the bitch and now the old woman who is likely to die, everyone has gang up against me to piss me off. When the car parks in front of the old woman's house, I see two cars but do not know who they belong to. One is probably a social worker, but the other it's a mystery.
I go in, look in the living room but see no one there. I go to the kitchen and a man wearing a very ugly, cheap brown suit sits, looking through what seems to be our file. He must really appreciate what he does or be very conscientious because I did not try to be discreet but he did not notice me. I take out a drink, open the fridge, pour orange juice and sit down in front of this man with the ugly suit.
It seems he sees me finally sees. "Hello, you must be Lisa. I am Harry Richard. I work for child protection and am the new social worker who inherited your file. I know that your younger sister has more or less explained what happened to your grandmother. When your grandmother went to the hospital, the files being centralized, we were immediately informed of the urgency of your situation. "
He does not seem to be fake-ass at least that one? "Ok Harry and where's Emie?"
He smiles at me and goes back into his files for a while before answering me. "If I believe the report, it's better not to trust your pretty face because you know how to bite very hard Lisa. Anyway, I do not care. I'm not here to bother you and have found a solution to avoid you a home of public assistance. Emie has already left for this place for thirty minutes and I will drive you there personally when you are ready. Mr. and Mrs. Hanckok are very nice people but you have to leave this city for a while because they live in a huge apartment on the Upper East Side in New York. One more thing, your mother is not making any effort, quite the contrary, you may have to stay in the apartment of Hanckok for a long time. We will only spend a short time together, so I hope we can both get along.
He makes me laugh that con. I like it. "I like you, you are direct. I'm going to prepare my things, I do not want to leave Emie alone any longer. "
I climb the stairs that lead to my room, throw all my clothes on the floor and start sorting what I'm going to take. Two suitcases plus my big backpack will be enough for the moment. I crush all my clothes in the suitcases, take my makeup and my toiletries then music. In less than twenty minutes, I'm ready. I send a message to my three friends to explain this situation as unexpected as embarrassing. I find Harry completing a paper this time and I inform him that we can leave when he wants.
After we get into his Chevrolet, which is really well equipped, he starts and talks to me a little more about this Hanckok family. Mister Hanckok would be a well-known stage director and would have produced two of the most popular plays on Broadway last year. Miss Hanckok, works in fashion for a big magazine and has a lot of free time. Their entire four floor apartment would still be according to Harry very interesting to watch for art lovers. Personally I do not know anything about art I never understood the people who spoke about it either. He goes on to say that he does not know why he himself but confesses that this couple already wanted to welcome us beforethat that our grandmother agrees to welcome us. Whatever the reason, the essential thing is that I am not separated from my sister, and and that we do not end in one of these shitty state prisons called children's home. This guy talks all the time and his quiet voice lulls me. Slowly, I finally fall asleep to wake up two hours later when Harry pulls my ear lobe and tells me we've arrived. This guy is really different from all the other social workers I've met so far.
The building in front of me is a fairly high building, maybe thirty floors, luxury style. A red carpet and four columns lead to the entrance where two sliding doors open on the desk with secure windows. Behind, a kind of guard in a chic burgundy suit, bows and picks up his phone. Damn even the guard dresses like a businessman here, we are really not in the poor. We enter a lift with a camera but I notice that no buttons can bring us to the floors four, five, six and seven. Harry, presses a button without mark at the top right and I see appear in the dial Central a beautiful woman who is under forty years. She smiles, then the elevator starts on its own. Seriously there is this kind of thing? All this display of luxury and modernity start to scare me. I who did not even have electricity at my mother because she refused to pay his bills, preferring to give all his money to his sect. Will I succeed in living in this kind of world that is unknown to me without giving the impression to be the last of the uneducated peasants? I fear the days to come. The doors of the elevator already arrived at destination begin to open on a huge and sublime living room. I'm afraid to go out. I want to run away from this world that is not mine and that bothers me. It's the first time in my life that I feel so bad and so miserable being born into a very poor family. A hand pulls me out of the elevator and a smile from my little sister calms me a little. I only realize now that the beautiful woman is present too. Have I had an anxiety attack? Damn, what a first encounter rotten.
I am led to the center of a glazed living room on the right a large aquarium left which contains large fish that I do not know and on the left different strange and ugly pictures.
The woman sits next to me. "Welcome Lisa, it would make me happy that you call me Selena from today. I feel like you're not used to this kind of environment, but do not worry, you'll get used to it quickly. "
First of all, I want to know how my sister is doing. "Emie, how do you feel after everything that happened today? Are you not too shocked? "
Emie shakes her head. "I panicked a lot when the stinky grandmother fell off her chair and pressed on her chest, asked for help and I did not know what to do then I ran to the neighbor who called an ambulance. Then the neighbor came home with me, he asked me to go up to my room while he waited for help. Fortunately, they arrived quickly and granny was taken to the hospital immediately but they did not want me to accompany her. Then the gentleman of social services arrived then everything went very quickly. Selena is very kind Lisa. Do not be mean to her or I will not talk to you anymore."
I smile at this innocence and then look at this woman. "Thank you for welcoming us. Know that I am not easy to live. My character is not very good and I am badly brought up. Moreover, if one raises the hand on my sister, I have no pity whatever the person who made this unforgivable mistake. But if you still think you can accept someone like me, then I'll try my best. "
The woman nods. "Do not worry, I already know all that and it did not change my mind. I want to take care of you despite your bad character. However, I would like to ask you a question. You are sixteen years old Lisa, what job do you want to do later? Because the choice of the school where we will enroll you will depend on your answer. "
on hearing this question I am silent. I am far from being a smart girl and have never envisioned my future. Until now my only concerns was to live the present day, look after my sister and earn enough money to be able to face the dayly. "Sorry madam, sorry Selena, I have no idea. All I want is to earn a lot of money so that Emie and I can live without ever experiencing all the misery in which we have been raised and the mockery we have suffered throughout our lives. I do not want to pursue long studies, but rather use my advantages, so I think a classical school would be great. "
Selena thinks. "I understand and know a perfect school for you not far from here that will meet your expectations perfectly. But for the moment it is very late and with the trying day you just spent, you must be exhausted. Sleeping would be a good thing. We'll talk about it again tomorrow. Come on, I'll show you your rooms, then come back to Mister Richard afterwards. "
My room is right next to Emie's, when I open the door, I visit and what I see leaves me speechless. This is not a room but a four-star suite as in the movies. A king size bed with curtains around, a huge all-marble shower with a seat with jets to massage your back, legs and all other parts of the body. The bathroom with a triple sink is also all marble. The electric dressing room, as big as my room at my mother's house lit by blue and pink neon lights, leaves me completely dumb once more. The carpet is so soft that it must be at least three centimeters thick and there is even an aquarium here embedded in the walls. On another wall, a small waterfall descends on real rocks. All this is beautiful but much too big. The most magical thing, you turn lights on and off by clapping your hands, again like in movies. The blinds are fun, they all close at the same time with a small remote control, so I enjoy opening and closing them several times in a row until Selena tells me to go to bed. I have just arrived at James Bond's house and I believe that tomorrow morning I will have fun with the blinds.
