genevieve - the girl next door
​
on a cold thursday afternoon bailey glanced out her window. she saw an unfamiliar face standing with her cousin iro. the girl was nothing like anyone bailey had seen before. she was gorgeous and tall, and she had these beautiful wings that filled her back. her jet black hair was almost as long as baileys. bailey was curious to know why she was here, iro didn't come round often, let alone with a girl. what made is especially confusing is that bailey knew she wasn't his girlfriend. iro had a boyfriend at the time.

bailey - iro's cousin meeting genevieve for the first time
​
mira - bailey's mom and iro's aunt
bailey ran downstairs to find her mom, mira. just as she reached the bottom stair her mom had stepped outside to speak to the two of them. bailey, being too nervous to interrupt, stepped to the open window in the next room over. she sat beside it to listen to the conversation the three outside were having.
"auntie mira! it's so nice to see you! this is my friend genevieve" she heard iro say as her mother walked out
"well hello genevieve! you are a gorgeous young lady!" her mother exclaimed. her mother always had a way of speaking that bailey couldn't help but envy.
"it's very nice to meet you! iro was very excited to introduce me to my new neighbours." new neighbours? bailey thought, this girl's moving in next door?
"well welcome to the neighbourhood genevieve! i have a daughter about your age, her name is bailey. should i go grab her?
bailey panicked. she was not in a state to see anyone, let alone a girl as pretty as genevieve. she bolted back up to her room as fast as she could to not seem suspicious.
childish, she thought, this is so childish of me.
"bailey! there's a girl moving in next door you should meet! she's a friend of your cousins!"
bailey turned sharply.
"okay! i'll be right there!" her plan to freshen up quick was out the window. she grabbed her hair brush and quickly ran it through her hair. i guess that helps?
her footsteps seemed louder than ever before as she ran down the stairs. she felt winded as she hit the bottom stair
am i nervous or do i just need to go for more runs? she let herself catch her breath before heading outside.
as she stepped outside she made direct eye contact with genevieve. well, as direct as it could get. genevieve had no irises or pupils. it was mistifying. genevieve smiled and bailey could feel heat going to her face. she smiled back and walked over to the three of them.
"hi, i'm bailey," she held out her hand. genevieve grabbed it to shake it but it felt off.
"and i'm genevieve. sorry about the sloppy handshake, im partially blind," well that should help save me some embarassment.
"bailey did you want to come out with us? i'm going to show genevieve around the area and you'll know it better than both of us," iro smiled. he's up to something.
"well, i won't say no," bailey grinned, "let me go change into something nicer."
"why? what you're wearing is really nice," genevieve's face turned to a small smile. is she blushing? bailey was puzzled
"oh, well, okay. it's just a t-shirt and sweats," bailey stammered. she felt her face going hot again.
"and i think that's a lovely outfit."
