You'll Be in My Heart

-Makeover With The Girls-

Sophie's POV: 

Whew, another long day of studying is finally over. I'm still trying to adjust to this new world, and it honestly feels strange in a weird way. It's different from what I'm used to, and that can be unsettling at times. But I'm hopeful that it will eventually become normal, even though nothing here seems remotely normal. I'll have to get used to it, since I'll be living here for the rest of my life.

Right now, I'm getting ready to go to Biana's house to hang out with the girls - Marella, Linh, and Biana. Biana wanted us all to get together for some girl time, including makeovers and whatever else she has plans for. I didn't have any big plans, especially since I'm not used to having friends. It's a big change for me to go from having no friends to having seven, and I'm feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness about it.

I'm going into this with no experience, so I think I'll just go with the flow and try to tolerate the makeover, even though it's not really my thing. It's a serious pet peeve of mine, and I prefer to stick to my own style. I'm putting my foot down about wearing heels, though - I refuse to let Biana torture my feet and ankles with those evil shoes. I'll let her do my makeup and hair, but I'm picking my own outfit and shoes.

I'm satisfied with my outfit, even though I don't care much about it. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves, then walk outside and say "EVERGLEN." The light whisks me away and I appear in Everglen. Biana greets me outside.

"YAY. You're here, Sophie. Come on, let's go inside and do makeovers. Linh's already upstairs, and Marella will be here in a second," Biana says excitedly, dragging me inside the house and up to her room. Linh is sitting at a different vanity doing her makeup. She turns around when Biana and I enter the room.

"Hey, Sophie," she greets with a smile. "Hi, Linh," I say, smiling back at her. I turn to Biana.

"Ok, Biana. If I'm going to let you do this, I only have two conditions," I say to her, looking her in the eye to make sure I have her full attention. "Ok, what's that?"

"One, NO HEELS! Two, I chose my dress. I'll let you do hair and makeup if I get to pick those things," I say to her sternly. "Deal," she says, walking me over to the vanity. While we were doing my hair, we chatted a little. Man, this is so nice.

"Let me guess, you are clumsy, and heels are not your friend," Linh says. "One hundred percent correct. They will kill my ankles and feet. I refuse to take that risk," Linh laughs as she carries on with her makeup.

Linh, you're probably right. I am clumsy and heels are definitely not my friend," Linh says with a laugh as she continues doing her makeup.

"So, how have things been since leaving the Forbidden Cities?" Biana asks curiously. "It's been weird, upside down, and strange. I'm still getting used to everything. Sometimes I catch myself doing my old human habits before people either look at me confused or I correct myself," I admit.

"I guess the Forbidden Cities would be strange for me too, except for some other things," Biana says as she starts braiding my hair. "I suppose they would be weird for me too. But I think it's because I've been here my whole life and you've been there most of your life," Linh adds.

"Yeah, that's a good point. The biggest change for me was going from having no friends to having friends. I never had any before now," I tell them. "Wow, seriously, Sophie. That must have been rough. Don't worry, you've got us now," Biana responds.

"That must have been tough, Sophie. But we're glad you're here," Linh adds.

"Thanks, guys. That means a lot," I replied. "Hey, have you met your soulmate in real life?" Biana asks curiously.
