Episode 1

The Jewelry Thief

Journal Entry...

May 1, 2014

Dear journal,

My name is Zack, I’m eleven years old and my birthday is in about two months, I guess that’s a lot of information to give but no one else is really going to see this. I have been living in Sunny Days Orphanage for about a few years. There is rarely anyone that comes looking around here to adopt kids. Well it’s understandable considering where we live. I live in San Diego, California and it is so expensive for people to live there with kids if they don’t have a good job. I hope that I can be taken out of here soon so I can see how it’s like outside near the beach. Sunny Days Orphanage isn’t close to the beach and it’s super hot some days but there’s nothing we and the caretakers can do. The caretakers are too poor to do anything so they joke that if we get adopted by a rich family to not forget them or the orphanage. I won’t, they have given me and my “brothers and sisters” a good life and it’s not bad compared to other orphanages. Anyways that’s all you need to know about me, but my day has not been so bad. How’s yours?

Dear journal,

The moment that I have been waiting for has come today! I was told that some parents came and saw me and had decided to adopt me! The parent’s names were Jane Keirch and Clein Keirch. I met them a few times before I left with them of course. They decided that today was the day and came right after breakfast and as I waved good-bye to everyone they yelled at me to not forget them, I never would because they were like my family. When we left I felt kinda sad but pushed those feelings away with the fear and excitement that I had had for this day. We drove to this huge mansion near the ocean, it was so cool looking. We left my stuff and drove to a school, it was a pretty nice school, I would start this fall. I found out I’m going to go to school with their nephew and niece. I have to unpack now, I’ll tell you more later.

Dear journal,

It’s been a while, I have started to get accustomed to life here. The Keirch’s niece and nephew came today, their names are Eli(9) and Kay(11). Kay is the same age as me so I thought it would be Easy to become friends, turns out I was wrong. He seemed so mad when he saw me, and didn’t want to play at all. Eli wanted to play with me but he didn’t let her, until I threw him a soccer ball and challenged him to a game. He said yes and at the end of the hardest game of my life, he won. Afterwards, he acknowledged me and said that we should play more often. They had to leave at the end of the day but it was fun. Life here is not so bad after all, I could get used to this.
