Chapter One : elaina.

(pronounced dah-l-ee-ya and ee-lay-nah)

The smell of books was always pleasing to Elaina. That indescribable scent that lingered as every page was turned.

Elaina loved books, tweed blazers and checkered bottoms. She had a thing for brown and wore it in every outfit.

Elaina had deep, brown eyes that matched her hair. It was at armpits length and had 2a waves running through it. Elaina always had stars in her wide eyes which were enhanced with her oval shaped glasses. She had a slim face and a chiselled jawline. Her olive skin was freckled from her small, button nose, rosy red cheeks and slim shoulders. Elaina had a sleeve that housed butterfly's, leaves climbing up her arm, big roses and crystal like pictures too, making her extremely attractive to many. She was taller than most and resembled your typical anime schoolgirl body. Elaina enjoyed doing her makeup, her signature look was a light brown smokey eye and winged liner that complimented her dark red lipstick which started cherry in the middle and scarlet towards the outer lip. She had long, uncurled lashes and a faint scar on her right cheek.

Elaina lived alone in a small flat with just her golden retriever,Garnet, to keep her company. He was always sleeping since he's grown old but,nonetheless, Garnet was still an adorable dog.

DING!

Elaina's phone went off.

"Hey, wanna go to the library?"

Elaina's girlfriend. Well, sort of. They've been talking back and forth for about a week now and seem to have a close bond. Her name was Dalia. Kindness. That's what Dalia meant. She made Elainas's heart just melt. Dalia was always smiling and always there for you.

"Sure. 20mins good with you?"

"Yeah"

"See you then"

"See you <3"

Elaina chuckled to herself. Two of her favourite things: books and her love. It gave her butterflies just thinking about her
