Amily has supportive parents, but nothing could have prepared her for the feelings she was about to feel. Nothing could have prepared her for falling in love- with a girl!

Amily chewed the end of her pencil in thought, but not a worried 'oh my god I don't know the answer I'm so stressed!' chew, but a 'this is mildly interesting and I think I'll look this up when I get home' kind of chew.
She had been sitting in her History class intently listening to the teacher and hanging off of every word as if it was the last she would ever hear, when she discovered an interesting fact. Tudors never used forks, instead they used knives, spoons, and their hands. Huh. Quickly knocking herself out of her thoughts she put her pencil down to stop herself from gnawing on the end of it, and to pay attention to the teacher.
No further notes were needed to be taken in the rest of the class as she had already made a revision binder for the topic they covered in class, and she had already made enough posters and revision fact cards to go round. It wasn't that she thought she knew it all and had no more to learn from the teacher, but that at this point she had ran her calligraphy pens and her coloured note card stash dry.
The teacher however declared that he had some work to do and the remainder of the lesson was to be done quietly and independently. So, Amily picked her pencil up once more and slipped her headphones in to listen to some music while she made notes. Bubblegum Bitch by Marina and the Diamonds. She had to listen to the teacher even if it would ruin her binder, Amily had never disobeyed before and wouldn't start now.
Looking up to shake her hair out of her face, she caught sight of her reflection in the window. She never usually would gawk at herself in a mirror but she was particularly happy with her choice of lipstick today. It was a matte rose coloured shade that made her lips look plump and appealing making her feel particularly pretty today. Her eyes were brown though she'd always wished them to be blue. Her hair was shoulder length, completely straight, and naturally brown-spare one blue faded streak in it. And the chairs made her look marginally bigger than her short 5'2 even with her oversized black boots.

Appearance didn't usually bother Amily, though dressing up did boost her confidence. She had been feeling a little down about herself and decided that this year she was going to make a change. She stretched the pocket money she had gotten from helping her grandparents redecorate their house over the summer and whatever else she had lying around, to buy a completely new wardrobe with accessories and make-up to match.
But distractions aside she had work to do. Even though she had already studied this topic and made a binder on it and completed all the practice exam questions. The teacher knew best. Crucial note taking that needed to be done and by gosh would she do it.
____________ Authors note Thanks for reading the introduction! It's quite short but fear not from here on they will be longer! Hope you enjoy and listen to one of Amilys favourite songs if you get time. The front cover art took me a long time I kept redoing it because I wanted it to be right so appreciate it or I'll break your knees lol
