 Ruby and a wee bit for Benton. <3 Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!
Tabitha waved goodbye to her dad excitedly with a giggle. This was going to be SO much fun! Daddy didn't look all that happy when he left, mind you... but that was nothing unusual.
The skinny figure of eleven years old, who was a couple of inches taller than the brunette who was currently clinging to her arm, had her mass of blonde hair in two braids on either side of her head. Mummy said it would end up like a birds nest if she didn't have it tied back out of her face and de-tangling all the knots would be a long and painful process later on. She cooperated without any fuss after that. Although her brother Isaac had taken to pulling at the plaits like bell ropes and shouting 'DING DONG' into the little girl's face. It was funny at first but it became irritating after about the fifteenth time. Tabby was awfully glad the twins weren't here today to cause trouble.
Ruby though, she was Tabby's best friend as well as her sister. Tabby was wearing a pair of light grey leggings, a comfy t-shirt, a Falmouth Falcons Hoodie over the top, and a pair of very cool pink converse high tops. Tabby also felt very cool and grown-up because she was one of the oldest and tallest kids in her group. She smiled at the boy who had already arrived and greeted him with a cheerful “Hello.”
She nodded to her sister. “Of course we will, Ruby. This is going to be so much fun!” She too had her broom which had been a birthday present from her uncle Oliver. The same as Ruby's except Tabby had tied a pretty pink ribbon around the handle of hers.
