Joey let out a breath with a sigh, as he walked into class and sat in his usual spot that is next to his best friend Yugi.

Whispers erupted in the room as he walked in, making Joey feel uncomfortable.

He knew the other students were whispering about him, because as of yesterday afternoon Seto Kaiba became his guardian.

He couldn't blame them really; it was extremely odd and weird to him because the brunette and he argued regally.

They insulted each other a lot, and now suddenly Kaiba went from being hateful toward him, to legally family.

Joey knew many foster homes had controlling know-it-all foster parents and Joey didn't want to go there.

It was one of many reasons Joey didn't want to go.

Joey was going to be put into a foster home, but the brunette C.E.O fought for him in court surprising many including Joey.

Kaiba had refused to let them put Joey into a foster home.

Joey didn't quite understand why Kaiba decided to step up to become his guardian; the multimillionaire seemed to dislike Joey.

Of course the brunette got his way, he is rich enough to provide everything Joey needed and wanted.

It saved the government spending people's taxes on Joey to live.

Joey knew the court hearing had been publicly viewed on the news, since there were cameras around the court room.

Honestly, Joey just wished his father hadn't died in the accident.

In fact he wished his father never got into his friend's car that night, but the blond couldn't stop him.

Joey wasn't there when his father got into the car to come home…..

He blamed himself for not telling his father to get a taxi home from a night out with his friends at the bar.

His father had been celebrating his promotion from work, after working so hard in rehab and at work.

P...

... middle of paper ...

...the car, put on his seat belt and looked out the window.

"Ugh, how do girls do this when shopping for hours?" Joey complained as he walked out of the mall with his guardian Seto Kaiba.

"It was an hour stop whining, I don't like doing shopping either, did you rather I sent you with a maid?"

Joey's eyes widened as he protested, not at all happy about that.

"No I'd be stuck putting clothes and shoes for hours, that's torture!"

Kaiba chuckled in amusement, and then headed toward the car with Joey in tow.

Joey cursed and muttered about how it wasn't funny, though he thanked the fact that Kaiba asked to get everything delivered.

He let out a breath with a sigh as he got into the car, and couldn't wait to go to his room.

After homework, he wanted to take a nap before dinner, since he is tired.

Kaiba was going to be going to Kaiba Corp after dropping him off anyway.

    One other problem with foster care is that there are not enough homes available in the system. In America, there are roughly 400,000 kids in foster care, but only 3,000 foster homes (Rath). Thus, foster parents are often overrun by their children. This can also cause psychological problems for the parents, who must deal with dozens of kids—48% of whom have behavioral and emotional disorders (Heiger). As a result, foster parents are prone to accumulate aggression, which is what can lead to the common cases of abuse and

  • Summary Of Till The End Of June By Cris Beune

    When Cris Bean was writing the book, he mentioned a couple of times the fact of how traumatizing it can be for kids who end up in foster care. When a kid is placed into the foster care system, it can be very stressful and disorientating the first few days. Probably the hardest part is wrapping your head around the fact that now a child is in the foster care system and why are they there. Many kids that are older probably did not have to follow many rules since the biological parents where perhaps on drugs, alcohol, or not even being there at all. So, living in a new house with rules can be a very difficult thing to follow, or even if the child has reasoning for right and wrong.

  • Essay On Foster Care Ethical Dilemma

    1660 Words  | 4 Pages

    Addressing the needs of children in foster care has been an issue that has tried to be addressed in many ways. In 2001, approximately 300,000 children entered the foster care system, with the average time spent in placement equaling 33 months (Bass Shields, & Behrman, n.d.). Statistically, the longer a child is in the foster care system, the greater number of placements they will have, and instability increases each year (Bass Shields, & Behrman, n.d). I recently read a novel by a girl who was placed into the system at age two, and by age 12 she had already experienced 14 different placements (Rhodes-Courter, 2007). Stories such as this one are not uncommon in the foster care system, especially if the child is a member of a sibling group or

This illustrates the frustration he has to deal with as he tries to seduce Daisy to be with him.
