When (S)he Sees Me

Penelope Wormwood is 11 years old, making her Matilda's older sister. When their mother gave birth to Penelope, she was planned and they loved her dearly. But when Matilda came along, they hated Matilda. They treated Penelope wonderfully, letting her have whatever she wishes for. But Penelope never asked for anything unrealistic, as she didn't want to bother her parents.

Penelope and Matilda got along, they may not be close but they do bond over books. Penelope never really told their parents she reads, in fear they will treat her differently like they do Matilda.

Penelope always knew she was different. She never wanted to date boys, no matter how many late night gossips she had with her mother. She later finds out why, as she gets to know a girl with a broken wrist and red beret..

What will enrolling into school lead to? What will happen? Will she stand up to the nasty headmistress? Will she get to be with the girl she desires?

i heart matilda 😍
also hear me out on hortensia....

but I will add the songs of the musical if they apply to Penelope's POV!
also i will steal peoples lines to change the story up a bit and so Penelope isn't plain, so she will take some of matilda's lines and mayyybbeee miss honeys lines in when i grow up but that's for later. she will appear in most songs but not all, i will also be shifting quiet so it can fit to her pov. also i will not show songs if they have no purpose to the story like "The Hammer" and "The Smell Of Rebellion". here is a list of the songs and if she's in them or not.
Songs:
Naughty - ❌
Miracle - ❌
School Song - ✅ ofc
Chokey Chant (Hide Me) - ❌ (She's in the scene but not singing)
Bruce - ✅
When I Grow Up - ✅
Revolting Children - ✅
