Siblings can get on one another’s nerves here and there. Especially when they’re both of the same sex. Two sisters Melissa and Nicole were always in one anothers space. They shared a room for the entirety of their childhood. After a while they learned how to tune out one another to create this sense of privacy within the room. Let’s say one if Melissa was on a phone call Nicole would prune out anything and everything it is that she said. She made sure to make it seem as if she can’t hear it in her conversation.

As they got older it started to become a bit more complicated. They would start to argue about clothes or makeup. If one had taken the other’s stuff without asking it would be nonstop chaos.

Nicole loves to experiment with makeup, she grew up watching her mom and cousins and sister wear it. She was the youngest amongst them all so of course she was gonna be curious about makeup. Once she got past learning about the basics of makeup she wanted to try out wearing lashes. She had seen girls all over social media wear them however she didn’t own any. One day she’s in her room doing some homework whilst looking for a certain assignment around the desk she comes across something very familiar. In an enclosed box that’s pink with a big strawberry in the middle she can’t just not know what it was. She opens it having no clue of what it might be. It was a pair of lashes, the corners of her mouth lifted cheek to cheek. At last she had something she wanted for a while within the palms of her hands. She paused for a second wondering whose it could possibly be, it wasn’t hard to figure that out. She knows very well how her older sister would react if she took them yet it flies past her and decides to use them for her own sake anyways.

The very next morning as she’s getting ready for school she quietly goes for the drawer where the lashes are and starts preparing them to go on her eyes. She struggles a bit, it was her first time trying it out so it was bound to happen. Finally she succeeds after a few minutes of poking her eyeball making them become all red and watery. At first she thinks it looks off on her but decides to keep them on for the entire day. Once school was dismissed and she got home she wanted to capture her first moments of having lashes on in order to look back on. Click click click as she taps her phone away capturing photos of herself she doesn’t realize her sister walks into the kitchen. Melissa notices something different about her little sister. Wondering and staring at her to see if she can notice what it is she realizes.

“Are you wearing my lashes ?!!” Melissa yells

Nicole didn’t say anything but just stare and that pretty much gave her sister an answer.

“Take them off now!!!” says Melissa

“No, I’ll take them off when I want to” Nicole responds

Anger engulfed Melissa. She decides to just go to her room and ignore Nicole for the rest of the day. After a few hours Nicole eventually took off the lashes and placed them back where she found them. She goes into her room and there’s Melissa sitting in bed on her laptop browsing the internet. You can feel the awkwardness within the room. After a few minutes of silence Nicole and Melissa start talking about one of their favorite bands. It breaks the silence and seems as if they didn’t just argue a few hours ago. Both had forgotten and gotten over the whole situation just as always.
