Chapter One: The Makeup Game
Becca closed the front door and locked it; it felt strange holding her mom's house keys and being the one responsible to lock up. Mom had gone on a weekend vacation, leaving her and her sister Eliza, and her sister's best friend Tara, alone. They were all still in highschool, Becca was in her final year, but her parents trusted them. They always said she was so mature and well behaved, whilst she didn't feel like much of an adult, a weekend wouldn't be so bad.
She went straight to the kitchen and put her bookbag down, she'd spent a couple of hours after school in the library getting her homework done so she wouldn't have to worry about it over the weekend. She could hear girlish laughter from the other room, telling her that the others were home.
She had a sinking feeling in her stomach. Eliza was younger than her, but their relationship had always been rocky - at least from Becca's perspective. Eliza could be a bully, and was definitely a 'popular' girl, but as long as she got her way she also had a way of making you feel cool being around her. Like her approval was some hard won prize. Becca kind of hated that, and would sometimes spite her just to show she wasn't Queen Bee, but this weekend would be way more stressful if they ended up at each other's throats. She hoped Becca would be in a good mood, especially since Tara was here - acting up in front of your friends wasn't cool, was it?
Before she could grab some food, her sister's voice called out,
"Becca, mom said the wifi is gonna be down all weekend!" Eliza sounded annoyed by the information, and Becca had to agree. She had promised her mom she would not go out this weekend, so as to not worry their parents about leaving the house unattended, and so she could keep an eye on her sister. Without the internet, what she thought would be an exciting amount of freedom seemed more like three days in solitary.
She didn't deem the information worth a response, and set about making some food before she retired to her bedroom. She looked at herself in the mirror as she changed from her school clothes into more comfortable attire. Her straight, blonde hair was tied back in a short ponytail, and she still had her glasses on her nose. Her family had been blessed with clear skin, and she had delicate facial features with a cute, upturned nose. As much as she'd never admit, her sister had once told her she looked like a sexy librarian and since then she had found herself leaning into that aesthetic - she was kind of a bookworm anyway, and Eliza was no slouch when it came to looking good, so her advice came well regarded.
She slid off her clothes and pulled on a pair of grey leggings. She'd bought them a while back with the idea of getting into the gym, but she hadn't ever felt comfortable enough to go when she had no idea what to do.
Becca slumped on her bed, a little annoyed she had already finished her homework, and tried to occupy her quickly mounting boredom.
===========
What felt like an eternity trickled by as she tried to read a novel she had already finished twice before - had it only been an hour? It felt like ten! This weekend was gonna suck...
Then, a shout broke the monotony.
"Becca, come here!" Eliza's clear, girlish voice was cheerful and inviting; Becca closed the book and headed down to the living room, poking her head in.
The TV was off, Eliza and Tara had rearranged some furniture - the coffee table had been slid to the side against the wall and the futon was in front of the couch. It opened up the space, and there were makeup cases on the arm of the sofa.
On the couch sat the duo.
Eliza was grinning, beautiful white teeth on show (a little like a shark, Becca thought), and her long, straight brown hair was down. She had a faint tan, hazel eyes and a slender frame; her curves hadn't filled out like Becca's or their mom's but describing her as boyish would be an over exaggeration, she was already the same height as Becca - the elder sister secretly hoped Eliza would stay thin, it was a small victory for her self esteem that Becca had a more womanly shape. She wore grey sweatpants and a pink crop top, and sat with her legs crossed underneath her.
Tara sat beside her, a slight crook of a smile at the corner of her pouty, reddish-pink lips, as if amused by something. She was paler than Eliza, with long, wavy blonde hair that looked recently washed. Her piercing blue eyes were also on Becca. Whilst Becca was a girly girl, Tara was a volleyball player - she was taller than both of them, a lean torso on long, muscular legs. She was still wearing her volleyball shorts, sneakers and a dark blue vest.
She looked like she hadn't been long from practice.
Eliza leaned forward, eager to tell Becca something, "Will you help us with something?" Becca blinked, a little startled by the friendliness of the question.
"Sure?"
"Me and Tara want to try a makeup challenge we saw on Youtube." Becca stepped away from the doorframe she was half poking out from and came into the room. Makeup wasn't nearly as interesting to her as it was to Eliza, but every girl liked to feel pretty.
"But the catch is, we put it on with our feet."
Becca looked a little repulsed by the idea, but before she could shoot it down Eliza kept talking.
"I think it'll be hard, but Tara says she can do it better than I can." She looked at Tara as she said that, who shrugged in agreement.
