Overshadowed-Five

Umm, okay...I know I said I'll have to upload every two days and this is like the fifth day from when I last uploaded >.> so sowry...

I've been loaded with 'back to school' work and had a bit of writer's block.

The picture on the side is Sophia's walk-in wardrobe. Credits to its owner. Here's the chap ^.^

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You need my help?" Amelia repeated, stunned. What could a loner like her help with? She had no social life, was a constant bullying target and the only thing she enjoyed in school was achieving great grades,

"Umm...Yes...I..." Sophia broke off. The blonde girl drew in a breath and looked away at her window. "Sara...Your sister, me and our group decided to do this concert for orphans. It's comming up in two weeks time. Everyone's prepared their own little performance for the concert and...it's just that...Sara was going to sing with me playing the guitar. The children really like Sara and they are really looking forward to seeing her perform. I haven't told anyone about what happened to Sara. I...I don't want to let everybody down...

Amelia looked at Sophia, who still was facing the window. Suddenly, what the older girl wanted her to do became clear.

"You...You want me to be Sara? To take her place?!" Amelia gasped. Amelia and Sara had both been in the choir in primary school, but Amelia decided to stop when she entered high school.

Sophia turned back to her. Amelia stared at her. The girl's cheeks were red and her eyes were watery.

"I know I'm been really selfish to ask you to do this for me...especially after what you've just been through...But I really don't want to disappoint the children."

Amelia stood up and gave Sophia a friendly smile. "I don't think you're being selfish, it's really nice that you are trying your best to make those orphans happy. I would do it but...I'm hardly like Sara.

"Are you joking?" Amelia looked up to see Sophia staring at her. "You two look exactly the same!"

"I meant we're really different. I'm more the type thats interested in books and studying for exams than shopping. I'm not really...like her,"

Sophia smiled. "Well, we can't change your personality. There's no need to change your personality either; we only have to dress you up like Sara for the performance and you can go back to being Amelia after that."

She strode over to one of the doors on her right wall and yanked it open. "This is my wardrobe."

Amelia gaped at the 'wardrobe'. It was one of those walk-in ones, with all Sophia's designer clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories sorted neatly. She couldn't believe how much stuff was in the room...and it was all designer. There were a zillion shoes; sandals, heels, boots, flats...the list went on. Amelia didn't try to list the rest of Sophia's things; she would be there for the next 10 years.

 Sophia walked over to her clothes section and pulled out a purple coloured dress that faded out and above-knee black tights.

 "Okay. Try these on, I just got them last week. There's a change room around the corner of the handbags," Sophia smiled and handed the dress and tights to Amelia.

"Umm...thank you," Amelia took the clothes and walked into the change room. She quickly changed out of her clothes and put the dress on. She looked up into the mirror on the wall when she finished. 

She seemed different...prettier... Reaching up, she grabbed her hair ties and let her hair fall freely around her shoulders. Definitely prettier...
