@Flame Afterglow Maria speaking
“Do you want to know more about my older brothers”. Maria hated telling people about her older brothers especially when they meet them most of her friends get hard crushes on them all 5 of them. Maria rolled her eyes at the thought of Flame crushing on her brothers if see ever saw them.”Do you wear any makeup like lipgloss or eyeshadow or anything at all”. Her voice sounded too perfect like it used to when she did beauty pageants because she was the only girl and the youngest. “Did you like to do any competitions other than sport competition like Girl Scouts or beauty pageants”. Maria looks at her nails and takes her nail file out and buffs her nails and blows on them. Then she takes out her brush and lipgloss and started brushing her hair. Then she put her brush back into her mini backpack and starts applying 4 layers of lipgloss perfectly without a smudge then she smacks her lips and puts her lipglosses back into her mini backpack. Then she takes out her mini mirror out of her mini backpack and looks at herself. ”Do I look okay is there something in my teeth or is my hair sticking to my lipgloss”. Maria wanted to cry after talking about her older brothers because she has lost countless friendships over her brothers rejecting her friends and they don’t talk to her ever again. She put on her fake smile that used to win her beauty pageants over years and years of beauty pageants. Then she stares at Flame and really stared at her.

“Would I like to meet your brothers?”Flame said “Of course I would! They sound like less cool versions of you!” Flame smiled she really liked being friends with Maria and didn’t want to do anything to stop that. “As for makeup, I don’t wear that much but I do sometimes wear Mascara, lipgloss and highlighter. But I prefer to keep it natural. I don’t want people to see someone pretty. I just want them to see the real me for who I am.” Flame thought of all the guys in the past who had crushes on her only to find out she wasn’t the model girl they thought she was. That didn’t stop her from being popular though. The image of a guy with green eyes and scruffy brown hair crossed her mind. ‘Don’t think about him Flame.’ she commanded herself. She found her brain wondering back to Hunter even though she tried not to. ‘ he was just messing with you.’ a look of sadness and frustration crossed her face. She hoped Maria hadn’t noticed. “No, I’ve never been in a beauty pageant before. I was to much of a tomboy to.” Tomboy but popular. Her friends called her pretty. Those words weren’t supposed to go together and yet somehow they did. “And no you don’t have lipgloss in your teeth but we should probably head ou it is getting close to take off time.”
Someone told me I run like a girl. I said that if they ran faster they could to.
