p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanSo today started of with me sleeping in, of course and Lilac telling me to get up, normal Friday morning if you ask me. There was a ringing noise that woke me up, it was Lilac calling her friends Finn, Mike, Oisin, Sean and Callum to ask them did they want to come over. Lilac was wrapping her finger round her curly orange hair as she talked "Oh I'm great…...yeah I enjoyed by birthday…I think they did…. Great!...Sure….just going to ring Callum…Bye Oisin!" she hung up and smiled. "Are you inviting your five boyfriends? You really are a player" I said, "They are friends that are boys!" "Chill I'm only joking!"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"How do I look?" Indi came into the room; her curly blonde hair was draped across her shoulders and she had a floaty blue dress with a few pink flowers scattered around the waist. "Is that a rhetorical question?!" asked Lilac. There was a knock on the door "I'll answer it!" "Don't even try Star you just got out of bed!" said Lilac. I looked in the mirror I looked like I got ran over by a bus! My short black hair was disobeying gravity and my deep mauve eyes were tired and I smelled bad. "Good point" I responded. "It's only Jillian!" called Lilac from the bottom of the stairs. Jillian ran up the stairs "Hey bestie! Love your dress Indi!" "Wow Vi you look bad and smell, yuck." Jillian pushed me into the bathroom into the shower. "You have to look half good for your one day late mini birthday playdate thing!" said Jillian being careful not to compare me with Indi. When I came out of the shower and through a dress that she brought at me "I knew that one, you wouldn't be dressed and two, that you had nothing to wear." Then she brushed and straitened my hair, she even had time to paint my nails. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"There was a knock on the door and about fifty rings. "You're the best Jillian!" "You said that five minutes ago!" "No amount of thank you's will repay" I replied. "Did Lila invite Sean?" asked Jillian "Yes" I said then I went into a daze. "Which are you most excited for? The fact that Sean's here or that fact that you are going to have a really good time?" I sat up "I don't know!" We went downstairs. I ushered all Lilac's guy friends into the sitting room and offered them juice "No thanks Vi, by the way you look great" smiled Sean "Thanks" I blushed and hid my face. "Aww" Jillian whispered into my ear "shut up" I hissed back. The doorbell rang again. "Yay Henry, Aoife and Roisin" sang Indigo. Let's just make this clear I em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"hate/em Indi's friends, Henry is the stupidest person I ever met, Aoife is so ugh weird and Roisin is just as perfect as Indi! But I ignored them. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"I hung out drawing in on the bench outside, I don't like parties even if they're mine, it annoys people sometimes they say I'm so introvert to be real. They are kind of right though I even need a break from Jillian after hanging out with her, she understands though. I was busy drawing a portrait of Indigo when I felt breathing down my neck, I was super scared. I turned around and kicked what ever was behind me. "Ouch Vi!" I recognised the voice "I'm so sorry Sean! I didn't know who was behind me!" "No, it's my fault I creeped up on you! Strong kick by the way!" he smiled a clutched his tummy where a dirty shoe print was. I looked at his tummy and touched it. "Ouch Vi!" It probably needs ice. "That was a really good drawing by the way" said Sean "What this?" I looked at my drawing of Indigo "It's just a doodle" "Well it's a very good one" I blushed then Sean started going red as well. We smiled and blushed at each other for about 10 seconds then Sean winced and clutched his tummy. "Oh, let's get that ice" I said, I was disappointed, it was nice while it lasted. I walked inside "wow you already did damage" whispered Jillian I gave a death look and got the ice. "Oh my gosh guys I should preform my song from Girl Guides!" Exclaimed Indi with anticipation. "Yay let's" I said sarcastically. "Star you are em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"going/em to listen to Heart" said Lilac she was not impressed with my sarcastic comment "Yeah sure" but, with my luck Indigo had to have overhear the conversation, yeah, all of it. "Y-you don't want to listen to it?" she came up behind me and almost killed me with shock. "I'm sorry Indi I didn't mean-" "For me to overhear" she finished for me. "No!" I protested. She searched my face for about a minute. "OK, fine but, I bet everybody else will want to hear! I have just heard it too many times (Lie: I heard it once) Sorry" I explained. "I forgive you!" said Indigo as she hugged me. I stood there awkwardly. Indigo hoped on a makeshift stage and sang. a name="_Hlk508298533"/a"If I were not a girl guide the next thing I would be, If I were not a girl guide a truck diver I would be, oh dear can't steer put this silly thing in gear!" She sung the song for a while. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"If I were not a girl guide the next thing I would be, If I were not a girl guide a teenager I would be; Where's my makeup? Where's my brush? There's boy Oh my Gosh! Jump Lady Jump Oh no big lady! Save yourself man I'm working on my tan! Hug me kiss me take me home, Take the chicken and ring it by the neck crack! Sit down, shut up, throw away your gum! Peace love never cut your hair! 2 by 4 and nail it to the floor! Give Bessie give my baby's got to live! Oh, dear can't steer put this silly thing in gear! If I were not a girl guide the next thing I would be, If I were not a girl guide I would just be me!" Then all her friends and Lilac's laughed, clapped or both. Soon everybody except Jillian, Roisin and Sean because they were staying for a sleepover. Don't ask me why Lilac chose to invite Sean but I'm so glad she did. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span/spanspan style="font-family: 'Helvetica',sans-serif; color: black;"br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" / !- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" / !-[endif]-/span/p
