Every time she walked down the corridor at school, people were going to stop and take notice, nod approvingly to themselves as they whisper to the person next to them, 'Check out Brynn and her rockin' new look.' She would get so much atten-- er.. maybe she didn't want so much attention. But she did want to look cool and she knew she was only inches away from that.
But she quickly averted her eyes from Fern's face as she told her not to look at her. Um... ok. Though Brynn couldn't help but to sneak a peek from the corner of her eye. "Oh, but we could get your signature flavor too!" That would be so fun and they could do it together. Surely there was someone that could do that there and could tell Fern if she was meant to be a strawberry or a raspberry.
For now she stuck that thought somewhere in the back of her mind as she turned her focus more on the fabulous Angelina! Wow.. she even gave her a bow like Brynn was super important and special. She turned and matched Fern's grin as she felt the girl squeeze her hand. This was sooo exciting! Then the redhead turned back to Angelina again, fervently nodding at the question. "Uh huh, twelve today." She grinned and stood a little straighter, feeling really proud. "Thanks!" She knew it wasn't quite as important as 13, but it was shaping up to be an awesome birthday already.
No expert? Brynn's smile remained, but she fixed Angelina with a somewhat quizzical look before glancing at Fern. She soon decided it must be that modesty thing that her mother told her was polite so no one thought you were being too boastful. Because look at her! She was one of the coolest people she had met already. She had to be an expert. Oooh and Angelina totally approved of Fern's choice of accent pieces. Brynn beamed at her, proud of her friend. And she couldn't wait till she was all signatured up so super cool people could think she was rocking their world too.
"Almost two hours total," Brynn nodded as she was asked how uch time. And she did want to go to Primpernelle's too, so split that pretty evenly? Or maybe just a little ore time here since this was ore important, laying the foundation for her signature style and all.

"Okay, so..." she began slowly as her eyes were on her, hmmm'ed to herself and cocked her head to one side.
"Are there any colours on your mind?"
“We need to get me a signature flavor!” Fern agreed, eyes wide with the seriousness of the situation. She was 13-years-old after all, and her first kiss had to be just around the corner. And what if a boy kissed her, and he tasted the flavoring of her lip balm, AND IT WAS NOT HER SIGNATURE FLAVOR!? And he would forever associate the wrong fruit with her!? That was not okay. They needed to fix this, pronto.
But first and foremost: Brynny’s signature color.
Fern snapped out of her reverie at Angelina’s question, and she almost blurted out the color that was on her mind for Brynny – blue. And not just any blue. Turquoise. Fern had been thinking long and hard about the Ravenclaw’s signature color since February, and she had come to the conclusion that while blue was not normally a feminine color, her BFF could make it feminine. The addition of green to the color added depth and made it more intriguing (and therefore more mature) than normal blue, plus it would look great against Brynny’s hair.
Also, it would compliment Fern’s dark orchid really well, and they’d look great sitting next to each other in class.
But Fern did not speak, because she knew that this needed to come from Brynny’s heart.
