'Hey, Y/n? You alright in there?' Amelia calls me. Amelia's my foster mom, she's been taking care of me for a month or two now. At first I didn't want a foster mom. I'm 17, so I'm nearly out of the system anyway. Besides, none of my guardians have eve actually understood what I want to do and why, but Amelia does. She actually talks to me instead of yelling. 'Yep, just doing my hair. I'll be out in a second.' I have curly hair, so this takes a longer time than usual. I have to use a lot of product to get my hair the way I want it. Usually this doesn't take less than an hour, but it's being difficult today and I'm spending longer than usual on it.

About half an hour later Amelia knocks again. 'Y/n? Can I come in?' I'm still curling strands of hair around my fingers, so I tell her yes and she opens the door. 'Woah. That's a lot of hair.' Her jaw drops at the sight. I look in the mirror and see mysef standing there with my hair flat and wet, with my fingers tangled in the middle of it. 'Yeah. Sorry, I know we were going to watch that old movie you mentioned. It's just taking a while. I'll be out soon, I promise.' I say, twisting the strand and letting it down. 'No no, this is more interesting. My hairs always been pin straight, but I can help out if you want! We can watch "Ten Things I Hate About You" while we're doing it.'

She takes out her phone and starts the movie, setting it on the drawers so we can both see. 'So how do I-?' I show her how to use the curl cream and apply it evenly to my hair, something I learned from a youtube video when I was 13. 'Okay so like this?' She picks up a strand of my hair and attempts to twirl it around. 'Pretty much!' She looks at the piece of hair and smiles at it proudly. I turn my attention back to the movie where Cameron's being introduced to all the cliques. 'Oh this is the best part!' Amelia stops to focus on the scene.

'See, there's a difference between like and love. Because I like my Skechers, but I love my Prada backpack.' She recites. 'But I love my Skechers? That's because you don't have a Prada backpack!' She goes back to fixing my hair. 'You like this movie?' I say jokingly. 'No, this is the first time I'm watching it.' I smile at her remark.

Eventually we're finished and my hair looks halfway decent. 'Thank you, Amelia. You didn't have to help me.' I say. 'Really, it was fun! I have the day off tomorrow, do you wanna go somewhere?' I nod. 'Sure, okay.' I begin braiding my hair when Amelia jumps. 'Hey! Why are you doing that? You'll ruin all my hard work!' She frowns. 'This is how I sleep with it.' I explain. 'Well, at least let me take a picture first.' I agree reluctantly and she begins taking pictures of the back of my head.
