Sophia. Beautiful. Stunning rather. Tall. And stunning. Perfect weight, perfect face. Perfect everything. She had everything. But I ruined that. Before I did though, we were best friends. She told me everything and I told her everything. We were unseperable. I loved her, not as a girlfriend obviously, but as my best friend. My name was Lucy. Lucy Boignant, or just Lucy B for short. Lucy was a nice name, but not as nice as Sophia. Sophia sounded like a jewel, a sparkling diamond. Valuable. Sophia Goddard was my friend. My best friend. But I ruined it. And it all started with a kiss.....
"Lucy!!" Sophia excitedly ran over to me in the class. I jumped with surprise. "what?" I replied back as excited as she was, mimicking her, widening my eyes whilst tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ears. "HE ASKED MEEE! Luke asked me out!! Finally" Sophia had been waiting for some guy called Luke to ask her out for months! She'd had a major crush on him since we went to a hug party but..I'd found some company so never got to meet him. "omg! He took his time!" I replied crossing my arms. "Lucy, trust me..he's the one!" she said dramatcally, blushing a little. I sighed deeply, "okay." I replied scratching my eyebrow. I could see she was a bit upset that I didn't show much interested. "i can't wait to meet him." I lied. Probbly some dick head who only liked Sophia for...you know what....
How wrong was I? Extremley is the answer. The day finally came for me to meet my best friend's boyfriend. I knew whatever I thought of him would mean something to Sophia, but not enough to change her view of him. She had non-stop spoke about him, day-in, day-out. It was torture. And me being single for 3 years didn't help. I went round Sophia's house to get ready for our 'triple date', well more like couple deeply in love and a tag-along. I was not looking forward to this. As we got dressed in Sophia's room, I noticed something unusual for her. As she put her back to me to change her shirt, her jeans were pulled down a bit, revealing a thong. I wasn't looking intentially but it stood out a lot since she's totally like a nun. I decided not to say anything to her, just incase it ruined the evening. She turned around, once fully clothed, and smiled at me sweetly. "you ready?" she chirped. "yepp." I said, unethusiastically. "right then, let's go!" she encouraged, leaving the room. I inhaled deeply, this was going to be hard to see. I hated being single, I was always compared to Sophia, 'oh Sophia's stunning, why does she hang out with Lucy? Lucy is no way near as pretty as Sophia!' that's what people said. All the time. I glanced at my appearance in the mirror, unsatisfied as usual, and followed Sophia...
We arrived at the movie theatre. The waft of buttered popcorn and diet coke drifted through the air, filling my lungs with satisfaction as I inhaled the glorious fumes. I looked over at Sophia to see if she was experiencing this euphoric sense as well. She wasn't. She was shaking. Shaking with fear? Nerves? I wasn't quite sure. I put my icy hand on her trembling shoulder. She jumped almost out of her skin and shot a glare at me. Fear in her eyes. "what's wrong Soph?" I asked concernful. She let out a slight giggle. "no, nothing, sorry, daydreaming. You wanna get our tickets?" she said, constantly avoiding eye contact with me. "mmm.." I answered suspiciously. I lead the way to the ticket booth, I was casually talking to her about the movie we were about to watch and how I couldn't wait to meet Luke..but I shortly realised I was talking to myself. I turned around to see Sophia and who I assumed was Luke making out.. I felt a stab of heartbreak pierce through my heart. Tears pricked my eyes. It was harder than I thought...seeing her so in love and being loved when no-ones ever love me. It really hurt. Really really hurt.. I let out a slight..'umm hello? I'm still here' cough, and 'Romeo and Juliet' shuddered out of their romacing. Then he turned around to face me, it was in slow motion. I felt like I was in a movie, when a star like Zac Efron turns around and the audience clutch their hearts and sigh with love. "Err..is she ok?" Luke said, his musky tone to his voice breaking me out if my trance. Shit!!! "sorry...I'm Lucy. Sophia's best friend." I stuttered. "ey..I'm Luke..Sophia's boyfriend." he said moving closer to shake my hand. I don't know if I was still in fantasy land but I swear to you, he winked at me.....
