As her birthday fell in the summer holidays and with her Ma (as shocking as it still was) being heavily pregnant and therefore the family unable to go on their annual vacation, Aurora had decided to make the most of the time off from school to do as many fun things as possible. On today’s agenda was a quick game of bowling, an activity she hadn’t participated in for a long time. There was a long list of friends she could invite along but there was only one who was competitive enough to make the game the serious challenge that she was craving. Solomon.

That and the boy was one of her besties and his company was one she enjoyed greatly, even when he was in his grumpy teenage boy mood.

Her blonde hair was tied up into a high ponytail so it wouldn’t get in the way. Now that she was going to be a fourth year and arguably much more mature than her previous years, she was trying to steer clear of her trademark braided pigtails and with her sister’s help was embarking on a journey with makeup. How long it would last into the new term before she got bored of having to look ‘nice’ and ended up back in her usual muddy dungarees was up for debate. Today she was sporting a casual look of denim shorts and a t-shirt considering the weather was nice and a dress would be a hindrance when it came to this activity.

The fourteen year old stood by the entrance and awaited the company of her friend, humming to herself gleefully.
