After what only felt like minuets, I could hear doors opening.  I quickly put the strap over my head and unplugged it.  I then carefully placed it back on its stand.  I opened the door and peered out.  People were coming out of their rooms and headed into different ones, probably their friend's rooms.

  I quickly dodged everyone who was going this way and that and headed into my room and flopped down on my bed, almost immediately falling asleep. 

        -Two Hours Later- 

  I was shaken awake by my room mate Joselyn. 

  "Natalie, wake up Natalie!  You're going to miss breakfast!" 

  I groggily got out of my bed.  Two hours of sleep isn't helpful to my energy.  I slowly got dressed and headed down to the dinning hall.  I got whatever was left, which wasn't much.  I was among the last to arrive, and the last to leave. 

  It was a Saturday, so there wasn't much to do.  So I decided to go down to the library building.  I grabbed a book and went to the main building. 

  I sat in the lobby in one of the cushioned chairs, reading and watching the people come in and out, some leaving with children with bags in their hands. 

  As I watched the couples coming in and out  I would sometimes imagined myself living with them.  I would spin around and around in the twirling chair I was sitting in that was in the lobby.  Most of the people that came in were couples.  But one time, when I looked up, I saw a single man walk up to the front desk.  The women showed him some paper work, and then directed him to the main office. 

  I then looked back down at my book, but I then heard my name over the intercom, telling me to go to the main office.  I put down my book on the chair I was sitting on, and made my way to the back  office. 

  I opened the door and closed it softly behind me. 

  "Hello Natalie, today is your lucky day!  Matthew here is going to take you home!"  Said the women behind the big, light brown desk. 

  "Really?  Are you serious?"  I said, my eight year old heart beating hard in my chest. 

  "Yes, yes I am."  He said laughing. 

  Then there was a question that I was burning to ask, "Are you married?" 

  The women behind the desk was shocked, and looked as if she was about to scold me, but then Matthew just laughed, "Yes, I'm married to a person named Aaron."

  Erin, that sounded like a pretty name, I wondered what she looked like, in the middle of my daydream, I realized that Matthew was talking. 

  "Aaron should be here soon, but I'll wait to sign the papers until then." 

  As we waited I just imagined what it would be like to live with them, and what Erin looked like.  Then a man popped his head in.

  "Hi, sorry I'm late, stupid traffic." 

  Matthew just smiled.  "Natalie, this is Aaron."
