The minute I walked through the front door, my head was spinning and I was cringing from all the chaos taking place. Pots and pans banging together, dogs barking, music playing and people shouting. Nobody’s sitting around mingling like you would expect, our family likes to do things very last minute. My Uncle Chris and Grandpa are in the kitchen cooking so my dad joins them, my mom and my Aunt Val start helping my Aunt Karen set the table and attempt to find matching table placements. As soon as my cousin Mia, who’s 12 knows I’m there, she comes running up to me and before she can say anything, I stop and ask her “What on earth are you wearing?” “You didn’t let me say anything. I was going to ask you to help me pick out what to wear and then help me with my hair.” She says with an attitude. Not long after my household arrives, my …show more content…
“I don’t know. I didn’t feel like it.” Riley responds sarcastically. “Well if you’re going to just stand there and look pretty, go take Mariah and fix her hair. I don’t care what you do with it, just make it look better than it does.” I say flatly. While Riley and myself are working on the little girls appearances, my brothers are most likely in the basement playing video games, Lauren is talking to my great uncle and our parents are still doing what they were when we first showed up. After probably 10 minutes of going through Mia’s closet and dressers, I found the perfect outfit. It’s a grey chiffon dress with a mesh halter neckline resembling a sweetheart and tons of sequins. After she gets dressed, I ask her what she wants me to do with her hair. “Riley got a new curling iron and that’s how she did her hair. She wanted to do mine but I didn’t want her to,” Mia responds. “So does that mean you want me to curl your hair then or not..?” I ask confused. “Yes. I want you to curl my hair like Riley’s,” she
“Ethan, you do not have to cut your hair, it is just a silly tradition. Don’t let them pressure you into doing something that you don’t wish to do,” she said.
“No, you obviously thought it was a good idea to dye your hair that very subtle shade of pink. So why would I want to get rid of them?” Jon stood up and tried to reach around me for the phone.
Eventually, I hear Andrea call from the dining area. “Dinner is ready! And Molly, may I have a word with you?” I’m shocked when I glance at the clock to see that two hours have passed. Talking with Josie came so easily and naturally, like I was catching up with an old friend. I hug Josie goodbye and thank her for her hard work on my newly styled hairdo. To some, it may have just looked like an uneven braid, but to me and Josie, my hair resembled that of a glamorous
"Do you know the answer dearie?" Mother pride for an answer, and braided threads of my thick black hair into a complex plait.
“Don’t worry. You’ll love it.” While her voice was light and cheerful there was finality to her words. “Did you get a chance to try the dress on again? It’s so beautiful.”
‘B..b..but...’ He couldn’t think of any more excuses and he closed his eyes as she finished trimming his new fringe. His poor hair. It had taken him years to grow.
“Alright.” He placed his hand on top of her head and worked his fingers into her hair, down to her scalp. Breanna grimaced.
“What did you do, babe?” I turn to Alessandra while trying to hold back the urge to pull my damn hair out.
Some of my clothes fit her, and some of hers fit me. Of course, I would never wear any of her apparel (purple jeans and panda t-shirts really aren’t my style), but she definitely enjoys the clothes in my closet.
"Spend that time doing your hair, I think it needs this consultation more than me." I growl, flinging the door open, and marching out.
“Don’t bother with that.” She flicked a lock of black, wavy hair out of that pretty face of hers, but her ice-blue eyes narrowed. He girded his loins for an onslaught of chastisement that he had coming. “I heard about your problem.”
“Oh, look!” squealed Raven, pointing over in a direction of what looked like a hair salon. “There’s a hair dying booth! I think you should get a red streak.” Unsure, I patted down my bob of brown concisiously. Hair dying? I wasn’t sure Dad would appreciate that. Is this what Raven meant by “shopping?” Completely changing my look around just for her? What was I, not good enough for her? ”I dunno,” I said, “I kinda like my hair now...” Raven rolled her eyes and swatted me gently. “Oh, shut up, Elle. Don’t you want to fit in with ME and my pals? Plus, your hair style is soo immature right now. You look like some kind of girl who does charity work and babysits.” I bite one of my nails. “Um. Okay. Yeah, I guess I’ll get one.” I begin shifting around
Dressed in her plaid apron, Amelia swipes her hands across the pockets before rushing out to greet me. “Ivy! It’s so good to see you, honey.” Her motherly glance sweeps me from head to toe. “Look at you, getting prettier by the day! And, you’re just in time for dinner.” Amelia’s golden curls graze my shoulders as she draws me in for a tight hug. Obviously, you didn’t have to look very far for the source of Harry’s curls or Niall’s color.
“So you’re gonna have to stay here okay?” My eyes flitter to the man talking and I feel a twinge of fear because I don’t know him at all.
“I am not finished with my hair!” she yelled down the stairs. “Mom, will you look for my black boots? These brown ones look seriously hideous with my outfit.” While her mom searched, Penelope finally came strolling down the stairs, her long brown hair curled to perfection. She snatched her black Uggs from her mom and threw on a sweater with her leggings and flannel button-up
