New Beginnings

Chapter 12

After they decided on their Thursday thing, Courtney said that she wanted to give Emma a makeover.

"You know, because she's new and all, and I've never given her one. Is that okay with you, Emms?"

"Yea, it's fine. You can do whatever you want," Emma said without a care.

"Okay, so, um, I call her hair!" Courtney exclaimed.

"Oh, can I have her face and make up and stuff?" Allie asked.

"And I'll have her clothes," Jenna said.

"Okay, ready, set, start makeovering!" Courtney said.

In the end, Emma looked great. She had her hair all gelled, so it was wavy and crunchy, and she had baby blue eye shadow on. She was wearing Courtney's light pink minidress, and silver strappy shoes.

"I would have given her eyeliner and mascara," Allie said. "But she was already wearing some."

"It doesn't matter, she looks great," Jenna said. "I think you should keep it on for the sleepover tonight."

"Yea, definitely," Courtney agreed. "But for now you should go home so I can set up for tonight. You too," she said to Allie and Jenna. "We'll call people when you guys come over. If they're really cool they'll come. You guys will come at seven, and everyone else will come at eight thirty. Bye"

"Okay, bye."

Hey, Courtney, it's Emm. I'm just calling to say that--"

"Hello?" It was Courtney. "Sorry you had to start leaving a message. I was setting up my room and I didn't want something to spill."

"It's okay, but spill? What would spill?"

"You'll see when you come over, but what were you calling to say?"

"Huh? Oh, yea, um, well, my Aunt Phoebe and her husband, you remember them from yesterday, right?"

"Is her husband the hot actor?"

"No, that's Joey. But anyway, they didn't tell us that they had adopted a kid, but the kid's in our grade and she's really cool. I met her, like and hour ago, and I think we should invite her over to see if she's cool enough for the group."

"Okay, that's fine. Good job, Emm."

"NP, but, um, also, they adopted another boy, he and the girl are twins, and he's really hot. I'm not technically related to him, so I could date him if I wanted to, but I don't think he's really my type. I think he's yours, though. I just thought I should tell you."

"Okay, thanks. Can you bring him tonight too?"

"Yea, no problem."

"Oh, yea, by the way, what are the twins' names?"

"The girl is Stephie, but I think we should tell her that we'll call her Steph, and the boy is Shawn."

"Okay, great. You can bring them," Courtney said. "And, yea, definitely Steph, not Stephie. Good judgement."

"Thanks! Okay, bye."

"Bye."
