Telling friends
"Heyyyyy babez made made it as soon as I could!" Ashley said out of breath.
"Hey Ash." I said dully
Ashley looked at me " Awwh hunny." She gave me a big hug.
"Must be hard come here Maya let me give you a hug to." She gave Maya a hug as well before flopping on our bed.
"I still can't believe it California and Sweden it would have been 2 awesome places to go on holiday if you weren't going to some strict boarding school by yourself!!! But I really think you miley should have gone to California with the dumb sexy blondies and you Maya should have gone with the smart pretty brunettes your mum stirred it all up didn't she and your daad he seemed like a nice bloke!" Ash continued running a hand through her Scarlett hair.
Us and Ash go way back to pre-school. Ashley's the self-conscious type that's only loud amongst the people she trusts, her life is complicated her mum left her and her dad when Ash was about I don't know 5? Her life's been hard growing up without a mum. No one to talk about your period or your body. Not even a sister to open up to and that's when I come in, I filled in the role as Ashley's not nesscerialy mum but big sister. Maya isn't really close to Ash she said never to trust Travellers people as her ex friend was a traveler and stole from her. But she still loves Ashley like i do (even though scottish people aren't travellers) . Ashley used to have natural reddish ginger hair with beautiful bold blue eyes and cute freckles on her nose. As she grew up she hated It absolutely hated her reddish ginger hair her freckles, so last year when she was 14 she decided she needed a change as as she moved on to middle school her freckles weren't a good thing and neither was her reddish ginger hair which I was really shocked at. I even went with hair first to the beauticians to get a foundation that covers her freckles, they were really helpful and we found the exact colour for her pale yet pinkish face. Then it was of to the hairdressers. I still remember it.....
"Ash are you sure I mean you have pretty reddish ginger hair are you sure you want to ditch it." I had said nibbling my bottom lip.
"Yes. OH HEY OVER HERE! Yeah I was just wondering could you die my hair dark blonde please." She said as a lady came over and the minute she said dark blonde I knew she was trying to be me.
"Ash I don't think blonde-"
"Miley please can you trust me on this. I'm just fed up of all of it ok." She said as her bottom lip wobbled and I knew as her bigsis/BFF I had to let her be happy.
"Hunny your friend here is right blonde is not your colour." The hairstylist said examining her from every corner.
"Yeh definitely not I think you should stick with a red."
"BUT I really wanted to dye my hair." She whispered, it had already taken her 4 months to convince her dad.
"Awh babe don't be upset I never said I'm not going to dye it! Were just going to dye it a more sleek and cool shade of red now trust me on this and I'll make you look like a princess!" Ashley nodded helplessly and closed her eyes as I waited next to her. The woman put the hair dye on her hair and trimmed her elbow length hair all the way to hair shoulders. At first I was shocked and froze. But then I saw that it gave her oval face a break and showed her beautiful blue eyes.
From that they on she's had Beautiful Scarlett cherry red hair and a shoulder length bob and a bottle of emergency foundation

"Hey smellies got your text message!" Kate stepped in the room. Kate is by far the most beautiful German/Irish person I've ever seen. She has beautiful jet black hair and piercing dark blue eyes. Maya and Kate get on more as they are both dark and have light eyes so they can relate.
"Hey babe." Maya said and gave Katy a hug.
"Awwhhhh i've missed you cant believe it your going to california nad sweden! WOWZA!!" She paused an sighed.
"MAYA STOP STRAIGHTING YOUR HAIR IMMEDIATLY!!!" she moaned.
"Oh come on which is beter curls or straight?" Maya protested
"STRAIGHT!" we all said in unision
"Fine fine next time ok?!"
"Anyway wheres Abygail?" I asked.
"On her way has guitar and singing lesson in one day it should be up by now so she shouldn't be more than 5 10 mins " Ashley said examining her self in the mirror.
Us and Abygails dont go very back, we only met her last year as she had just moved from Australia. Course that ment she had a gorgeous tan, choclate eyes and golden carmel hair which caused jelousy amongst some girls. Boys whistled as she walked past them on the first day, this ment to the other girls a threat. They would insult her about her accent but Abygail would keep a straight face like she didnt care. Truth is, she did, more than anyone could know. She was hurting inside and no one knew because no one cared. Apart from me. That one day I saw her at the back gates, school had finshed 2 hours ago but i was with my ex boyfriend (told you i was naughty). I couldn't believe my eyes, the girl who apperaed so strong and brave was sitting there playing her tacky guitar and singing such a beautiful song. Her voice was almost enchanting, i sat a corner away listening for a while before the song came to a end and a whimper came out. Alarmed I went over to see what was going on, she was crying. She looked up, and that's when I saw somthing no one else had seen. Pain,hurt and loss. I slid next to her and gave her a hug.
She looked up suprised. "Y-you aren't going to tell."
"Course not...you know every girl here isn't like the lot you know."
She nodded, I hesitated but eventually spoke,
"whats up."
She turned away, her trust had oviously broken. You know trust is like paper, once its been crumpled, it can never be straight again no matter how hard you try.
"You can trust me I wont tell. Just release it."
She mummered something but then told me all about her. She had moved to Australia because her dad died 2 years ago and her mum doesn't give a toss about her ever since she got a new boyfriend called Harry. She went without her mum's permission to her grandmas house (her in London) he rmum doesnt know where she is but proably doesn't care. Her dad's mum said she could stay for a couple of years till she's 18 where she can fullfill her dream of being a singer and guitarist. But everyday she misses her dad.
Of course now she's gotten stronger, still quiet but fierce and strong and we're helping her very step of the way.
DING DONG.
That must be her, finally we were ready for our girly sleepover, obviously after talking about Sweden and california.
