Library Girls

Fourteen

I wake up and slowly peel myself away from April. I walk into her bathroom and do my business or whatever is necessary, which includes taking a shower. Her shower suddenly feels way better than mine. I might have to take her shower head and replace it with mine.

I walk into her closet and put on one of my many hoodies that magically appeared in her closet and a pair of leggings. My hair gets very wavy when wet but I don't really feel like turning it back straight at the moment. After all, I'm not straight so why should my hair be. I pull it into a low bun and walk over to April.

"Hey. Ari. Wake. Up." I whisper in between forehead pecks. She pulls the pillow over her head to block me out.

"Let me sleep."

"Please. We can't stay in here forever."

"Last time I checked we can."

"Ari! Please." I say whining at this point.

"Fine." She mumbles something else before sitting up. She looks at me with an annoyed grin but then it drops just like her jaw.

"Ari. Are you okay?" I say waving my hand in front of her face.

She snaps out of her daze and reaches her hand out to my hair. I forgot she never seen my wavy hair. Well she's seen pictures and I told her my hair was naturally wavy but I guess it's still a shocker.

"Woah."

"You want me to take it out of its bun?" She nods with a blush. I smirk and pull it out of its bun. I place the hair tie on my wrist and sit with my back facing her.

"You look so beautiful Aura. Why do you always straighten it?"

"I honestly don't know. But I have to stop it's burning my hair." I say while laughing.

"I have no complaints." She says while giggling. I reposition my head on her lap.

"Head scratches?" I say with a pout.

"Of course." She says pecking my forehead.

"I'm liking the reversed roles we have going on here Ari." She laughs and gets out of bed. I whine at the lost of contact under my head and in my hair.

"It's okay. After I take my shower and stuff we can go to school. I promise."

"Okay. I have to go to my house real quick though. So I'm gonna go while you're in the shower okay?"

"Yeah okay. I'll just wait until you get back." I get up and peck her lips.

"I love you Aura."

"I love you too Ari." After that I head downstairs. I say my hellos and good byes to Emma and Rose as I head for the door.

"Excuse me? Aurora?"

"Yes Mrs. Swan?"

"Dear, you can call me Emma."

"Sorry Emma. Anything you need?"

"Just wanna ask if you're taking April to school with you."

"Of course I am."

"Well where is she?"

"Oh she's in the shower and I'm gonna go get something from my house real quick." She stares at me for a moment then nods her head.

I continue to walk out the door and can't help but feel a little uneasy. I also noticed how sad April looked when I said I had to leave. She knows I'm coming back though. Well I can only hope she knows.

**April's pov**

I get out the shower and slip on one of Aurora's hoodies and a pair of light blue skinny jeans. I braid my hair into a fishtail braid which is still slightly damp. I bounce down the stairs expecting to see Aurora.
