Who is She? [Zalfie]

7...❤️

Zoe

I arrived home, throwing my bag in the cupboard near the door. I wandered into the kitchen to find Joe sat on one of the bar stools. "Where Mum?" I said, grabbing an apple and taking a bite.
"Work, duh!" He said, glaring at me. He was younger, and his school is closer than mine, so he always beats me home. Mums always home when he arrives, and always tells him when she'll be back and where she's gone, which is usually work. But she always leaves before Im back.
It's kind of funny really. She can always be bothered to take me to school in the mornings, but she always makes me take the bus home.
"Yeah, but like, when will she be back?" I said, rolling my eyes and placing a hand on y hip.
"Midnight." He sighed, standing up and walking upstairs.
"Okay well then Im going out later!" I yelled up to him before gapes bing out my phone.

Around half and hour later, Kate, Finn and Jack arrived, with Louise tagging along five minutes after.
"What time should I say?" I asked them, leading them all into my room.
"Well, it's gonna take AGES to make you look partially decent so say half six tomorrow! We'll need a lot of time!" Finn said, winking at me and laughing. I punched him gently in the arm, Ive been doing that a lot lately.
"Seriously though!" I said, grabbing out my phone and beginning to type in my address.
"Well it's four o clock now so... Quarter to Five?" Kate suggested, playing with a strand of her hair.
Most girls usually take hours on end to get ready, but they knew I'd fuss if this took over half an hour, which Im guessing is why Kate suggested that time. I nodded in agreement before texting Alfie hurriedly. I then led the gang up to my room, where Louise instantly sat me down in front of her.

"Zoe, you would look amazing with wavy hair!" She said, picking at a few strands and playing with them.
"Curly hair is horrific on me!" I said, frowning.
"Not curly! Wavy! Just pick your outfit and then I'll show you and if you really hate it, we can straighten it!" She sighed, turning to Kate.
Kate tossed a load of depresses and skirts in my direction, before I stopped her abruptly. "Woah, Kate, you know all the clothes I wear are normal greyscale! I want something plain and simple!"
She sighed before picking up a plain black dressed. I smiled at her, resulting in her smiling back. I walked into the bathroom and quickly slipped it on, before returning to my room to do my hair.

So far, only 8 minutes had been wasted on outfit.
Louise began with volume sing my hair, which I found pretty pointless seeing as my hair already has a mind of its own.
She then began to get complicated, and I zoned out of what she was doing, exchanging glances and funny faces withh a Finn. Finn has always been like a brother to me, so it's t really a surprised we're so close. That's how Ive learnt the difference between the two. After being so close to one of the twins and not so much the other, you pick things up.
After atleast 20 minutes of exchanging faces, Louise sat me infront of the mirror. "Louise... This is... Beautiful!" I said, absolutely speechless.
The boys couldn't seem to take their eyes off me either, which must have meant something.

"Okay, one last area!" Louise said, grabbing another small bag.
"Well first...." Kate said, grabbing a perfume from the bag Louise had and spraying it over me, "You need perfume! It makes guys fall like... Wait, what falls?" Kate said, resulting in the rest of us chuckling quietly.
Louise then got out her blusher. It was a colour close to skin tone, and she only put a small amount on, but it made all he difference. Then she added a bit of light pink lipgloss, before slipping it into my purse. "Don't know whether or not you'll be needing this later!" She said, winking at me.
"Hey!" I said, giggling.
"No, but seriously though, Zoe, how far are you planning to go on this date?" Kate said, now in a serious tone which made me nervous.
I gulped, choking up the words, "What do you mean?"

"Well, you want this guy to be led on right? But you don't want to date him right?" Finn said, staring at me. "Well, you gotta bake careful!"
"Guuuuuys! You said I wouldn't be hurting him!" I said, frowning.
"You won't be!" Jack said, putting an arm around me, "Well... As long as you don't kiss him. If you kiss him, you're hooked!" He sighed.
"W-wait whay? What if he leans in to kiss me then? I can't just dodge? What if he turns out nice? What if I end up liking him? What if he actually hates me and expmbarrasses me? What if Marcus shows up? Wh-" but I was interrupted by Kate yelling, "Shut up! Everyone's going to go perfectly fine! Anyhow, you have atleast 15 minutes to yourself before he arrives! Meanwhile, we're off!" She grinned, pulling the others along behind her.
I sighed, opening flappy bird up on my phone.
