Mirror

If She lived in a world with no mirrors maybe she have her to show her how she really is, She did bе louder, She did be honest. Probably wouldn't bе self-conscious…

“Wanna come to my party?”

"Huh, did I hear you wrong?" Lily stopped drawing her design arts when she glanced at Riri who was suddenly sitting beside her on the school park bench

"No you heard right, I invited you to come to my party, my birthday party-"

“Oh, really when? Is today your birthday-” Riri just nodded as she smiled before Lily hugged her with a surprise as she whispered in her ear “-happy birthday, I wish you’re the best one” Riri smiled as she hugged Lily Back, she had never found someone friend like her before, she don’t know why her feel she’s so special thought from her another friend even she just knew her.

"So do you want to come to my party..." Lily's expression changed as Riri confirmed her reference and let go of her hug "why, is there a problem, don't you want to?" Lily shook her head as she thought looking at her design arts

"Of course I want to, it's just, it's a bit difficult when I get home-" Riri frowned as she cut her off

"You mean you're like a princess trapped in a tall castle, who can't get out whenever you want-" Lily laughed at her friend's taunt.

"No, I didn't live in that era, yeah but things got so tight- ehm hard, I don't even know if I was allowed-" Lily sighs when it is a little difficult to explain in American words as Riri cut her words

"Come on, it's my birthday-" Riri pleaded as she looked at Lily with her brown eyes shining with pleading, maybe she didn't know how hard it was to be her or to be her, that wasn't the problem, all she knew maybe she would have someone who could understand herself other than friends who only want attention from her, she just wants to have a friend to share how important that moment is to her, it means that she has become a valuable person in her life besides her busy parents, maybe her uncle in a different category… Riri thinks while looking for a way to get Lily to come when her eyes widened by biting her tongue got an idea "what if you don't have to go home" Lily sighed while rolling her eyes "no, you don't have to go home-" Lily knit her brows while listening to Riri's words "I mean you, ehm you can come home with me, you can wear my clothes-”

"I should at least give you a present-"

"Ow you're so sweet, but you just came is already a gift for me" Riri made Lily lips curled too with her words "Come on I'll take care of everything, all I want you to do is come with me and I promise to take you back to your home tonight before midnight ... come on, please." Lily pursed her lips when her friend pleaded while holding her hand "hm, hm, ehm, come on" Riri pleaded while pouting her lips before Lily nodded while closing her eyes exhaling a sigh of surrender

"Okay-"

“Really, oh my god, this is going to be a great party” She hugged Lily again while shouting. “-Finally you want to come, alright then, we're going home Together, I'll be waiting for you here okay” Lily chuckled slowly before scoffs at her

"Why do we have to be here, we're in the same class-"

"Oh God, I'm too happy I almost forgot that we are on the same bench, okay then see you in class I'm going to the restroom first..." Riri wink as she stood up and left Lily who shook her head, before she pensively frowned thinking hard how to deal with her mom, later, that's what she thought later, yep but she have aunt Viola by the way, maybe it's true she will be in trouble if she doesn't come home but she will only play out for a while and she believes Aunt Viola is easy flattered to bribe her because she was ever young too and most importantly she loves her very much and is very easy to make her agree her wise is of course, Lily grins when she gathers her notebook arts and then stands up to walking, heading to a room to meet someone....

                                                                                ------

She’s standing in hallway as she’s knocking on the door, she's waiting when looking around-

"Yes, come in..." Lily slowly opened the door after hearing Viola shout, she closed the door when Viola glanced at her "sweetie, what's wrong, is there a problem, are you not feeling well, is something bothering you-" Lily shook her head with a sweet smile as she approached her aunt

"No Viola, I'm fine, everything's fine..." Viola sighed as she looked at her niece

"Nice to hear that, otherwise your mother could have killed me" she burst out laughing when Lily didn't feel good at the thought of fooling her

"Actually aunty, can you help me..." she spoke in a small voice staring at the floor on tiptoe up and down of her feet, something she did when she was nervous.

"What dear, anything?" Lily looked up quickly at her as she turned her face into a hopeful puppy face "oh don't do this to me, what do you want now?" Lily is smiling sweetly with her devil eyebrows looking focus at her aunt

"Not much aunt, I just want to finish my first project assignment after school, so I promised to come, you know..."

"Did you forget honey, that this morning you just met my lesson in class, and as far as I know we don't have a project yet... ah, so you're starting to learn to lie to me-" Lily avoided her sharp gaze as her aunt folded her arms

"Okay, okay, okay... I was wrong, my friend just invited me to her birthday party..." Viola raised her eyebrows while scanning her niece’s face.

"Valerie, she's a classmate of mine who invited me to her birthday party, I don't want to be rude to refuse her, after all she's my first friend here...." Viola pursed her lips while thinking as Lilly pouts "Come on, Aunt Viola, my only one favourite aunt.. " that's it Viola can't resist when she says her name so sweetly before she groans and nods when Lily bit her lips has got her aunt

"Okay...-"

"Really, really" she hugs her aunt quickly as she dance of joy inside "thank you so much, you are the best aunty Viola, likewise" Viola smiled shapely before grins heard her words

"I am" but her gaze turned serious again as she held Lily's shoulder "but remember you have to be home before 10pm, got it"

"Understood" Lily nodded several times before hugging her aunt again for a moment then turning around and happily walking out of her aunt's office.

"What should I say..." Viola mumbled to herself but she gasped in surprise when Lily came back to her again before kissing her on the cheek and running briskly towards the door.

"I love you aunt Viola" Lily whispered before closing the door making Viola shake her head as she smirks feeling very lucky to have a niece of her kind.

"Yeah, maybe right now she's in big trouble if she keeps this up because of her..." Viola knows Lily was raised by her stepfather, she also knows how good her stepfather is not only to his granddaughter but also to her even though she is only a stepdaughter from him, thinking about that she always thinks what if she also has the same father's blood as Jane but she is still grateful that their mother has the attitude that allows her to live as she is now... that's lucky enough for her, she can have sister like Jane and her joy little creator, which made her think she wanted to have children too-, why is she thinking about it now, all she had to think about now was how she should deal with her conscientious sister, she sighs as she rolled her eyes before returning to her desk to make corrections to her student task....
