Jennifer Lawson had always been the role model student. The type of student that teachers always gave examples of. Most kids described Jenny as a nerd with big glasses and braces. But the truth was that Jenny was actually really pretty. She just hid behind books. Jennifer had light brow hair that fell in waves, she always had her hair in a tight pony tail, and she had an oval shaped face with almond shaped purple eyes. It was true that she did have big black round glasses, and a set of braces in her teeth, but it was also true that she had a perfect hourglass figure, which she hid behind layers of lose clothing.
Jenny always had her nose in a book so it wasn't much of a surprise when Jenny's sister found her doing homework the first week in the summer holidays.
"What are you doing Jenny?" Ivy asked her sister. Although she knew the answer to that question she wanted to hear it from her sister.
"What does it look like?" jenny had always been witty; it just came with being smart.
"Not having fun that what," Ivy was now glaring at Jenny. If look could kill…
"How would you know that I'm not having fun?"
"Come on Jen my wedding is in 2 week and you're setting here doing homework? Please just come shopping with me, just for a little while," Ivy was getting married to Andrew Smith, he was a wonderful man. Ivy was 20 and Andrew was 21. They made the cutest couple.
"Fine but I'm not buying anything, I'm broke,"
"Fine I'll buy you what you need. Do you know if james has his stuff he need for the wedding, because if he doesn't then we can take him too. James potter was cousin to Jennifer and Ivy. They lived right next to each other.
"Thanks, and no I don't know if James has got everything but I'm pretty sure he has, but even if he hasn't he can't come because he has those gits over at his house and if they come then I'm defiantly not coming!" it wasn't because of Remes or even Peter it was because of Black. He always found a way to tease her, if not for her hair, that her braces, if not that then the fact that her "nose was glued to a book all the time" he always found a ways to annoy her.
"Why don't you want his friends to come with us," Ivy wasn't blind; she just liked teasing her sister too. She knew for a fact that Jenny and Sirius never were on friendly terms.
"II just don't, okay, if you want me to come than they don't come," she was fine with not going at all. She could finish her homework which she had been rudely interrupted from.
"Fine, let's go," Ivy had plans for her sister. And she was not going to let her plans go to waste just because of Sirius. If Jenny was going to be her brides maid she had to least had to look decent.
They had spent 2 hours buying a whole new wardrobe for Jennifer. Jenny was pissed because Ivy was getting all the cloths that were like a second skin to her. They all were inappropriate for any kind of gathering, forget gathering they were inappropriate in general.
"Ivy I don't want these" She was pointing to the bag that held all her clothes. They still hadn't found her brides maid dress.
"Hey Jen can I see your glasses for a second?" Ivy had her hand held out for the glasses so there was no choice but to give them to her. Once Jenny had handed her the glasses. Ivy proceeded to break them.
"What the hell! WHY DID YOU BREAK THEM?!" okay now she was angry. Those were her only pair of glasses, and she needed them to read!
"Oopps, sorry Hun, it was an accident," Ivy was totally lying, but she was not going to have her sister wear glasses to her wedding, especially when said sister was going to be one of her brides maids.
"It was not, and you know it!" She knew that her sister knew that it was not an accident.
"Sorry, but I know you only need them for reading, but yet here you are , not reading, but still wearing your glasses, why?" she didn't know what made her ask that question. She knew why her sister wore them.
"I just like them," Jenny tried to explain feebly. Ivy knew better but let the subject drop. She drop the remaining pieces of the glasses on the floor and subtly tried to step on them.
"What the hell are you doing now?" now she was getting really pissed off at her sister. Who did she think she was stepping on her glasses.
"Ummm…stepping on your glasses that were broken…Look Jen I'm sorry for breaking…oaky sorry, crushing you glasses, but you wanna know why I…err… crushed your glasses?"
"Yeah I would actually," by this time Jennifer was full out angry, angry at Ivy for breaking her only pair of glasses.
"I did it because, you have wonderful eyes, and you hide them away from everybody by glasses that you only need for reading. You also have a really good figure but you hide that away too." Now Ivy had taken to pacing in front of Jennifer, she was waving her hands in the air and it look as if she were crazy. People had started to stare but Ivy was oblivious to all the stares she was receiving.
"Look, Ivy, I don't hide behind my glasses, or baggy clothes. I just feel more comfortable like this, it makes me feel safe," and this was the truth, she truly did feel safe under her baggy layers and glasses, "and I don't need people to like me for what I look like, I want people to like me for what I am, for my personality."
"And I understand and respect that but Jen, you have to see, that people would kill for a body like yours, you hair is gorgeous, but all you do with it tie it away. You have to understand me Jen; I would never, ever want anything for you that you don't feel comfortable with." She had now stopped pacing and was now staring at her sister's green almond shaped eyes.
"Humph. Ivy is there even a point to this, in the end we all know who's gonna win, and it's sure as hell isn't me," she is all honesty was tired of arguing with her sister, because somewhere deep, deep, deep, down she knew that her sister was right.
