The Girl Who Was Noticed And The Girl Who Stayed Ignored

Lexis and Ariana

Third Person's POV. 

It's time two more girls were introduced to the story. Lexis and Ariana Howard. Ariana was a beautiful woman, 24 years old and courting a rich man. Lexis was only 21 and always listened to her sister. Both sisters had brown hair and were slim. Still, Ariana thought Lexis could always do better. Currently, Ariana was 'fixing' Lexis more. You would think Ariana was a role model to Lexis right? Well Ariana set high standards for her sister and always pressured her. This always made Lexis listen. Lexis didn't want to disapoint her sister or anyone. Lexis was misunderstood. Ariana always told Lexis to stay quiet and let her do the talking. That was always what Lexis did. 

 "Alright lets go through everything again Lexis one last time," Ariana told her. Lexis nodded. She was used to these rule type things placed in her life. "We're part of the Haus of Holbein so there's high expectations," Lexis recalled. 
"Exactly! And soon it'll be your turn," Ariana told her. "Hans Holbein goes around painting all of the beautiful girls," Ariana recited. 
"From Spain, to France and Germany," Lexis listed. 
"And the kings will choose one," Ariana said. 
"But which one will it be?" the two asked together. Ariana helped Lexis a touch with her clothing before reciting the next part. Ariana always forced her little sister to wear corsets and dresses. Lexis hated it. Still she always worse them. Ariana was tying up the corset now. She always made it tighter so Lexis could look better. Why? Nobody knows she wouldn't let Lexis near any boys anyways. "You bring the corsets," Lexis said. 
"I'll bring the cinches," Ariana told her. 
"No one wants a waist over-" Lexis started. 

She was cut off by her sister tightening the corset further. Something that caused Lexis pain. "Nine inches," Lexis managed to stutter. Ariana grabbed some makeup and started to work on her. "So what the makeup could damage your skin type?" Ariana asked. 
"At least my complexion will bring all the boys in," Lexis said. Ariana turned to her sister and slapped her arm. "No boys Lexis," Ariana growled. Lexis obediently nodded her head, terrified of her older sister. "Come on Lexis we're going to the cafe today anyways!" Ariana said dragging her little sister off. Only if Ariana could see that beauty goes deeper than what's outside. . .
