charlie's pov.
I woke up very confused and my parents laughing at me. I quickly ran to my room and put on a maroon short sleeved shirt, dark grey shorts, and black Nikeys.
I check my phone and see if I have any new messages.
None. Humph.. she hasn't texted me yet...
It's fine. She'll 'tell' me later I guess. I walk downstairs and I see someone who I haven't seen since she moved to England.
AVERY!!
I run up and give her a hug. She was my neighbor, but she moved after second grade to England. We used to be pen pals for a while so we've stayed in touch. "How have you been Av?!" I've been sister stressed, the schools in England- OMG!" I finally convinced my parents to let me study here for Senior year!!" Really! Wow, Okay! Well, times haven't really changed.." Are you still an intro-" Hey!" I playfully wack her arm. She laughs and then I laugh then we look like two crazed teens.
"So I'm going to be staying in this house a family friend, but luckily it's not that far away!" Cool! I'm glad I'll finally see someone I like besides Marie." Oh.. She's still here.."
Marie and Avery never really got along... I was the peace-maker between them and I see their relationship remains the same.
"You know what Char, we should go shopping." Well, I don't really do that any-" Decisions final. you. are. going."fine.." I whisper.
Avery has kinda been like the big sister I never had since my only sibling is Felix, while Avery and Marie are the only children their parents had.
"Can I please give you a makeover?! Just like old times?" We're only going to the mall, Avery. No need to get all dolled up." I know but you know me I'm very-" Annoying, extra, unnecessary, shall I keep going?" Oh, shush you love me." Sadly I'm stuck with you." Oh C'mon Charlie Penelope!"
She grabs my hand and drags me to my room. She heads to my walk-in closet. Which I didn't ask for by the way. My parents said something along the lines of, "You'll thank us later." sure
My hair is relatively short, only barely coming to my shoulders. I like my hair this way, but Marie wants me to try to grow it out, eh maybe someday. And about my bangs, let's just say before I had them I looked a rock, an ugly rock. Bangs made me look like a relatively decent human being.
Avery grabs clothes that I've never even seen before. "What in-" Shush and let me work child."
She can be a bit intimidating at times.
"Avery please, I don't need this." Char, I haven't seen you in years! Please just let me, I want to." She does those freaking puppy eyes and her eyes get all glossy.." Fine but I'll only give you twenty minutes." Thirty" Twenty-five" SOLD"
twenty-five and a half minutes later.
I look in the mirror and I can say I'm shocked. I don't think I put this much effort into my Aunt Carrie's wedding.
