Meet the Friends

James

The sound of slow claps from the door diverted Zoë's attention from us. I watched as her eyes lit up with joy and excitement when she saw who it was.

I followed her gaze to a guy that was tall, lean, and muscular. He had tan skin, straight, blindingly white teeth, a clearly visible six pack under a white t-shirt, ripped jeans, choppy brown hair, and electric blue eyes.

Zoë got up off her brother and launched herself into his arms. Well there goes that idea. Okay, maybe I have a bit of a crush on her but...

Woah.

Now she is beautiful. A girl with bone straight blonde hair that reached her lower back walked in. Her eyes were a kaleidoscope of colour as if they couldn't decide what colour to be.

She had smooth porcelain skin and delicate features like a doll. One half of her face was hidden by long bangs swept to the side. She didn't really walk so much as glide closer to the center of the room. Behind her were two girls that were around Lilly's age and were identical in everything except hair and eye colour.

One had black hair and sea-green eyes while the other had blonde hair and bluish grey eyes. Both of them had nice princess curls. I noticed that they wore bathing suits under their clothes and each had a dagger made of some sort of bronze metal.

I had thought that the first girl that walked in was a veela until she saw the twins behind her saying

"Which do you think is better this" her hair became curly and blonde "or this?" and her hair became black.

"Black, black! Like Zo!" the girls yelled.

At the mention of her name, Zoë turned to the trio. As she turned to them her hair straightened and turned white.

"What do you mean black hair?"

The two girls laughed and flicked their hands at her and her hair turned back to black and curly. As it changed it fell out of it's ponytail. Okay. Here's what you need to know. When it was in a high pony tail it reached her but. Now that it's down, it nearly reaches her knees. Her eyes got brighter, she became slimmer and more muscular. A tattoo appeared on her right wrist. It had SPQR and nine lines along with an owl holding a trident.

She gasped.

"When did you-"

Then she seemed to notice the girl.

"Lacy. You'd better teach me to do that little trick before you teach them." she said sternly then she laughed and hugged the girl, Lacy.

"It really has been to long, Lacy."

"It has only been about a week and a half. You should stop being so dramatic Zo."

"What can I say, I've been blessed by both your special grandparents." Zoë said with a wink. "Anyway, you came to meet these people so come meet them."

"We've met four of them already, mom and dad are upstairs talking with them. Also, Mer should be here any-"

A huge squeal sounded from upstairs.

"-moment."

A Latino girl came barreling through into the room, tackling the two other girls.

"Ezmeralda Moonlace Valdez!!! Don't you dare! The sprinklers are on!"

"Their parents know! Pleeeaaaase!!!!!!!!!"

"Fine. But on your head be it." Zoë said.

What? What are they talking about? Sprinklers? On her head be what? What is going ooooonnn?!!!!!!!
