Hello readers! Sorry this one's quite short, but I'll be updating the next chapter as soon as I can! Please review and enjoy! xxx
Sophie's POV
"Sophie, can you help me do my make-up? And could I borrow one of your necklaces? And a bracelet maybe?" Agatha asked Sophie whilst rushing around the Groom Room like all the other girls.
"Um, sure. But why are you so bothered about what you look like? It's just the first day of lessons. Hey, it's not something to do with what people said about you yesterday right?" Sophie asked, handing Agatha a necklace and two matching bracelets.
"No, of course it's not."
Sophie frowned. "Then why?"
Agatha sat down on a chair and let Sophie do her make-up.
"Um, I want to make a good first impression on everyone." Agatha looked up at Sophie. "Don't you?"
"Stay still. And yes, of course I want to make a good impression to – wait. To everyone? Including the boys?" Sophie raised her eyebrows.
"Um, maybe."
"Including Tedros?" Sophie raised her eyebrows even higher.
"Um…"
Sophie sighed. "Look and listen carefully Agatha." She looked Agatha in the eye. "If you wanna make a good first impression, then you don't need any of this. You don't need the make-up, the necklace or the bracelets. You just need you."
"So you're saying that I should take off all of this?" Agatha gestured at her make-up and jewelry.
"No, not exactly. I'm just saying that being you should be enough to Tedros. If he really, truly likes you, then he should be able to accept you. The real you. The make-up's just an extra, to add to your natural look. So don't worry about what you look like. You'll find the right boy in the end."
Agatha smiled.
"OK, you're all done. I've already put some mascara and lip gloss on, shall we go?"
Agatha nodded.
"We've got Beautification first. I think it's this way."
Sophie followed Agatha and sighed. Why was she acting so strangely? In Gavaldon, Agatha never spoke to a boy, and now, she was trying to impress them? Sophie shook her head and replaced her frown with a smile, trying to forget Agatha's strange behavior. It didn't exactly work.
Agatha's POV
Agatha smiled dreamily as she thought about what happened yesterday. To be more precise, she thought about Tedros. She could vaguely hear Professor Anemone talking about smiling.
"Ah…" Agatha sighed. When was Tedros going to realize that she was the one for him? He had to know sooner or later because after all, there is only one true love.
"Now, you will give me your best smiles for you rankings. So think of something that really makes you happy." Professor Anemone said, interrupting Agatha's thoughts.
Agatha plastered on her best smile, thinking of Tedros holding her, touching her, kissing her-
"Now dear, Agatha is it? Try to think happy. So don't smirk, or grin like a lunatic that's madly in love, smile." Anemone moved on.
Agatha frowned, and tried all sorts of smiles, when she saw Reena and Giselle whispering and glancing in her direction. She sighed.
"Oh, what a wonderful smile!" Professor Anemone suddenly exclaimed. "Absolutely beautiful!"
Agatha whipped round to see who she was talking to. To her surprise, it was Sophie!
"That is, my Evers, one perfect smile!" Anemone looked at Sophie fondly. "You could charm any prince you want with that." The professor raised her eyebrows.
Sophie laughed softly. "Oh professor, I've not got my eye on a particular prince yet."
"Well, whichever boy you choose, he's going to be a lucky one!"
Professor Anemone gave everyone their ranks and class was dismissed.
