(One of the shortest I could find)
Lately, for once in her life, things hadn’t been all happy. Today was the day that she was going to make everything improve. She didn’t want to stay all depressed and boring. Who would? Riley wanted to get out and go around, at least sees people who weren’t a mirror image of herself- literally. By saying that, she didn’t mean her twin sister, but her reflection every time she went into the bathroom or looked to the part of her wall that held a mirror upon it. People had surrounded her almost everyday of her life, as she rarely ever did anything alone. In Hogwarts, Riley had been a popular girl. Friends were on her left and right daily, but when she wandered off she ended up making friends with those who didn’t have many, as it was just what she did. Even when she was in Hogsmedge, she would go up and met random people, just because she loved to talk and make it so that no one else was alone. Sure, some people went places alone because they wanted it that way but she knew when she wasn’t wanted and wasn’t stubborn, so she did leave when necessary. Rolling out of her bed- literally, Riley landed on the floor with a thump! She was quite lazy some mornings but it woke her up as soon as she hit the carpeted floor. Blinking a few times, Riley laid there for a few seconds before pushing up her thin legs and heading towards the bathroom. She lived alone to half way there she was already stripping of her nightie from the night before (obviously), turning the shower tap as soon as she entered, already ready to indulge herself into the steamy temperature. Watching the water hit the bottom in droplets, like the rain almost, Riley smiled; she loved the rain. Stepping into the shower, she let the water cascade down her body in running streams. Taking the shampoo, she washed her long hair smoothly before adding the conditioner and rinsing that thoroughly also. Bending her face backwards, she placed it under the water, having her eyes closed, so that it would cleanse and just give her the fully clean feeling. Turning the tap off, Riley stepped out on the shower mat and grabbed her towel, wrapping it around her thin body. Ah, it smelt like oranges now. Oranges were Riley’s favorite fruit so smelling like it just gave her the natural perfume so there was no need to apply it. Even if it was only coming from her hair, it still was strong enough to act like a perfume, especially since it didn’t fade too quickly. She loved magic, or at least she guessed that was why the smell didn’t fade too quick.
Moving into the next room, back into her bedroom, Riley dropped the towel and pulled on her undergarmets before choosing the others that would cover up what she already had placed over her tanned skin. The first thing she knew automatically was that she was going to be bright and match several colors people usually wouldn’t think would go nice together. To start off, she pulled out yellow short shorts and pulled them on. So far, all she was wearing were yellow clothing- that had to change. She didn’t want to be bland like the muffins her mom made while she was growing up. Pulling out a blue shirt, Riley put her arms through both armholes and placed it over her head easily, making her way to her closet as she did. Going through the sweaters she owned, Riley pulled out a purple one and placed that over top, just incase it got windy. Slipping her feet into a pair of yellow and white flip-flops, she had never worn them before so walking around the house in them wouldn’t do much. Going to her dresser now, Riley had the mirror in her room hanging right above so she wouldn’t have to go to the bathroom. Today she decided different and did anyways, already running the comb through her hair several times, stroking it. Her hair was somewhat straight today but the ends still flipped up like always. She may be able to tame herself when she wasn’t in wolf form but that didn’t mean she could tame her hair- ever. Putting the comb down on the counter, she wasn’t hungry and so she was skipping breakfast. Brushing her teeth, she had no want for cavities or yellow plack to form. Anyone who let his or her teeth get like that, she didn’t understand. It was just proof that not everyone cared about their own personal hygiene, or hygiene in general. Letting out a yawn as she finished brushing her teeth, Riley didn’t want to waste anytime before going out and meeting her friend at the store. She had planned this out last night by talking through her fire to Rose and she had to admit, next time she wanted to communicate she would use the owl she owned, as it hadn’t been comfortable at all. Not being one to show up late, she headed out the door as soon as she made sure all of the lights were turned off. She hated forgetting such things.
Riley lived in the Frank Apartments on the muggle side of the worlds, having a love for muggles and all. Why they were meeting in Godrics Hollow, she wasn’t really sure but closing her eyes as she entered the Wizarding World through the Leaky Cauldron, Riley cursed, as she didn’t like apparating too much, though it was her only choice since she did not fly. Appearing on the spot tonight should be very great night, or at least way better than the ones she had been having lately, alone and depressed in her apartment. It was just so hard to even think about! Riley and depressed should never go in the same sentence, as it just never happened- or at least hadn’t happened until the two nights she had been anyone but herself. Hopefully that would never happen again, as she didn’t want too. She wanted to be happy, not worry about things that were happening. It made life easier, but sometimes you just had to worry and not act as if everything was alright. Things weren’t always alright and you had to accept that. For once, she had and it got to her as her guard was set down. Breaking down in front of her sister wasn’t the worst though, so she was fine with having finally admitted what she was to her. Thirteen years of not knowing had been a lot, after all. Today was going to be her first ‘I’m happy!’ mood for the week, spent with a good friend. First they had planned to go shopping and after that, they were going to go back to her place with what they got and just be girls, no worries allowed- but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t gossip! Being a girl, that was just one of the things you did when you were with friends. Well, most all girls, but most and Riley would gossip at times, just not too often. She was trustworthy, so she also said nothing she was told not too. Waiting, she was a few minutes early, like always, but enjoying the beginning of the day was something she had never minded. The outdoors were something she had a connection with in some creepy sort of way, therefore as she looked diagonally up at the sky, Riley watched the clouds pass by with a smile spread across her face, her long, blonde hair blowing in the wind as she did. The morning was a beautiful one to get outside, as she barley even needed her sweater, judging by the fact that fall wasn’t fully in England yet.
