Alone Again (Naturally)

You Really Got Me?

The months whisked away quicker than they ever had, it was now late April; she'd had the time of her life for the past ten months. Though Penelope had been back in Muswell Hill for ten months she hadn't really made any new friends, she'd reconnected with Helena as of recently, they'd gone to a few old hang outs and was planning to meet her friendship group. Penny, Helena and Annetta had once been the popular trio; well mostly Annetta. Annetta had always been the most popular due to her extroverted ways and sense of fashion, but she never left Penny they'd always been inseparable. She'd always tried to make sure Penny was in the spotlight as well but she was shy, you couldn't by popular and shy.

" Daddy's taking me shopping this weekend." A young blonde conversed to the shy brunette next to her as they coloured.

" Really, where?" Penny asked as she coloured carefully, making sure she was accurate.

" I'm not sure, but isn't it exciting! He said I can get a new dress and some bows!" She squealed as her eyes lit up.

" Sure Nettie." Penny sighed,

" You should ask your Daddy to take you shopping for some dresses, you have like two." Annetta giggled.

" I don't like dresses Nettie." The brunette reminded as she fussed with her school skirt.

" I know but still, it's fashion!" She encouraged,

" We're eight Annetta." Penny spoke as she rolled her eyes.

" Whate-"

" Excuse me, can I sit with you please?" Asked a new face,

" Sure." Penny nodded, taking in the new girls appearance. She had mid-length honey/auburn coloured hair with brown eyes, though they weren't as dark as Penny's, almost Amber. The girl had sections of freckles over her face, some which were covered by her glasses; Penny felt comfortable around the girl's kind smile.

" Thank you." The amber eyed girl thanked as she took a seat next to Penny, "Hi."

" Hi." Annetta greeted, hiding her astonishment towards Penny's socialness.

" What's your name?" Penny inquired, giving her full attention to the newcomer,

" Helena Meyer." Helena informed.

" I'm Penny, Penelope Rosanna Murphy." She replied, " This is Nettie, Annetta Watts"

" Nice to meet you." Helena answered.

" You're not from around here are you?" Penny questioned, noticing her accent.

" No, Germany." The girl nodded.

" My maman was from France, she loved it there. Do you miss Germany?" Penny asked, before the girl nodded.

" You can stay with us."

" Hey Penny!" The smiling girl greeted,

" Hey Hells" Penelope returned, " Want a drink?"

" That be great, the usual?" Helena asked before Penny nodded.

" So how's college?" The teen asked as she sipped on her Irish Cream Coffee,

" It's fine really, lot's of work as per usual but it's expected. How's the apprenticeship?" Penny replied as she played around with her Hazelnut Hot Chocolate.
