Emelie is your average teen in some ways: Musical obsessed, into clothes and make-up, grumpy, moody
In other ways, not: Orphaned, Shy, Anxiety and social anxiety, Trust issues.
Emelie would love to do the normal things a teen does, but nope. She is...
I wake up early, as normal, at 6:30. I look round at Lee's bed, she's up already. I am surprised, I'm always the first up, no matter what. "Another early riser." I say in surprise. She just nods. I smile back, "D'ya wanna go shopping for clothes today? You haven't got any with you." I offer, she nods, "OK." she says quietly, "Do you have some clothes I can work out in? I usually work out every morning." She asks quietly and shyly. I nod, "Of course. Can I join you?" I ask, "Yh, sounds good." she says simply, climbing out if her bed, grabs a hair brush and brushes her long, thick hair. I stare in awe, her hair is beautiful. As she quickly ties it up in a low bun, I find her some black gym shorts and a grey/white/green sports bra and a grey trackie top and throw them over with some undies. She smiles gratefully and changes quickly. I get into my blue gym shorts, black/pink sports bra, and a yellow hoodie.
Soon we are working out in the dance studio. We have a really good soundtrack to work out to on in the background, full of upbeat songs from different musicals. We work out for a solid 2 hours, then get called down for breakfast.
She groans and we both walk down. I'm a sweaty mess, she still looks pretty much perfect.
We sit down at the table away from everyone else, and I start grabbing some toast and buttering it. I notice she doesn't eat anything, "Hey, you should eat Lee." I say gently, looking at her. She sighs and takes an apple and eats it slowly. I pour her a glass of water and then pour myself some tea and drink it. I watch her at breakfast. How does she work out like that, then eat a small apple and drink a glass of water and just be full. I guess I should leave it. It's not business. I see a message from Aimie and look at it.
Hey Viv, U up for a girls day? - A
I sigh, I promised Lee a shopping day, I know she needs that. So I reply to Aimie:
I'm busy with a friend, sorry. c u soon - V
She replies quickly
Ok, no worries - A
I leave her on seen, and put my phone away. I smile at Lee, before turning to Ju, "Ju? Can me and Lee go on a shopping day? She needs clothes, and we could spend time together." I ask hopefully. Ju smiles, "Sure, I'll give you some money for clothes and food. If there's anything else you need buy it. If it's not a necessity buy it with your money Viv." Ju answers, I nod and smile, "Will do." I say, standing up. Lee stands up at the same time, and tucks her chair under neatly, takes our 2 plates out to the kitchen and starts washing up. I quickly follow her, "Hey, Lee. You don't need to do that." I say gently. She turns round quickly, "Oh." She says quietly, "Sorry." I shake my head, "Don't apologise." She nods, "Shall we go then?" She suggests. "I'm gunna shower, change, then yes, we can go." She smiles gently, "Ok." She says and follows me out and up to my room.
I shower quickly and when I get out of the shower, Lee has redone her hair into Anne Boleyn hair, I smile. "Love the hair." I say, she smiles shyly, "Thank you. I tend to switch between Boleyn and Howard hair usually." I nod, "It looks really good on you. It also goes with what your wearing." I say. She was still wearing what she was wearing to work out in. "There's some black denim shorts, a green crop top and a grey cropped jumper in the drawers, if ya wanna borrow that." I offer. She finds them, changes and looks like a goddess! I smile widely when she is dressed, "OH MY GOD! LEE! YOU LOOK AMAZING!" I say. She smiles shyly, "Thank you. You look really cute too!" I smile gratefully, "Thank you." I am wearing my blue ripped jeans and pink tight top, paired with a blue denim jacket. I hadn't done my hair yet, so I ask shyly, "Could you do my hair?" She nods, "Sure, how would you like it?" I shrug, "You choose. Surprise me!" She nods, "Ok" Then gets to work brushing my hair.
Emelie's POV:
I brush her hair so I can think what would look cute on her. I think for a while before coming to a conclusion, and starting to section her hair. I quickly and deftly plait her hair, soon it looks like this:

I smile and handed Viv a mirror, worried she wouldn't like it. She smiled widely, "Oh My God! It's so good Lee!" She cries, "Thank you!" she hugged me tightly, and I hug back gently. "How good are you at make up?" Viv asks me. I shrug, "I don't know what you class as good. I'll just do mine, and I can do yours if you think mine is decent." I suggest. She nods, gets her make-up out and watches as I do my make up. I turn around, and she is astounded, "You are so doing mine!" She smiled, I nod, "Ok, sit down." I say. She does as I say and then I start doing her make-up, going for a neutral vibe. Soon her make-up is done. She looks in a mirror and squeals, "OMG!!! ITS SO GOOD!" I smile gently, "Glad you like it." I say. She quickly takes a selfie of the pair of us and puts it on her Insta.
She then sends it to someone, I enquire who, but she doesn't say.
Viv's POV:
*insert picture* this is me and my friend, she did our hair and make-up - V
I send the picture to Aimie and then pocket my phone, "Let's go then" I smile. She nods, picks up her phone, then sighs, "I've only got my school shoes." I smile, "What size are you?" I ask, "3" is the reply I get. I delve in my shoe drawer and grab out a pair of black slip-ons and pass them over. She slips them on as I slip on a pair of white trainers.
"Let's go!" I smile, she nods. We head to Ju, get money for food, new clothes, essentials for Lee and then head off into town.
When we are waiting at the bus stop I take my phone out and check my messages.
You both look amazing! Gribby wants his hair done by her and she is so doing my hair one day - A
I smile and reply.
Thx, maybe when iv moved in? - V
I'm really excited to be moving in with them. I go in 4 days. I haven't told Lee that, but I will soon.
The bus gets her so me and Lee climb aboard, she buys the tickets and we sit at the back and watch an Instagram live that Vicki was doing until we got into the centre of London and head to the shops.
