Her Hidden Beauty

3. Betrayal

3. Betrayal

         i decided to go to Sophie's house to tell her the news. I was a little worried about

Her reaction Sophie can be a little much.

I parked in her driveway. Adjusted my wig and glasses, and made sure no beauty was shown. 

Hopped out of the car and walked to her front door.

Even though sophie was my best friend i still didn't let her see my natural look.

There are few pictures of me online but if you look at my natural look you'll see my resemblance to my parents. 

I was told i looked like my father. But I had my Mothers eyes. 

I don't know. I guess i also didn't want her to get mad at me for not telling her or for her to change her whole act around me because of my parents or appearance. 

Sophie's my best friend but I guess that's only because she's my only friend. I mean I could tell she tried to be nice to me but she was such a gossiper and there are times she would ridicule me about my clothes. But I take what I can get.

I knocked on the door and after a minute Sophie's mom opened the door.

" hey Mrs.Sanders" 

" Mali dear, come on in." She sounded happy but a little shocked to see me

I don't usually come over. Sophie is always busy but i still try to hang out with her.

"How have you been?" She asks

"Im doing good, how about you?" I reply

"Oh I'm fine."

"Um is Sophie home?"

"Oh, yeah she's in her room. You can head right up."

"Thank you"

I walked up the stairs and headed to Sophie's room. I was about to knock until i heard her talking on the phone. Im not an ease dropper but something she was saying stopped me in my tracks.

" I'm definitely winning this bet... Of course the nerd has no clue...only two months left and this nightmare is over. Y'all better pay up.... yeah yeah i remember the plan. Be friends with her for a year and in this year take ugly embarrassing photos of her plus nudes. 

Those are hard to get from her but ill do it. And by the end of the year send it to the whole school, make it viral, and i get my $500. This is too easy...

Yeah she's so naive. She actually thinks that im her friend.... well at least im a great actor... She's always nagging me to hang out. As if I want to be seen with that nerd. I mean clingy much like get a life. I cant wait to be able to spend time with you guys at school again..... Yeah....ok ill talk to you guys later i think i heard a knock at my front door... Deuces mwah mwah."

With every insult she said about me i felt the tears start to rise ready to fall.

I was broken by her words. How could she? Im so naive. I should've realized sooner.

Then i just couldn't hold back anymore i broke into tears and ran down the stairs and out the door. I saw Mrs.Sanders trying to catch up to me but i didn't stop. I couldn't hear what she was saying.

I wanted to leave- no i needed to leave that house as quick as i could.

I drove away and went home going to my room and locking the door. 

I cried myself to sleep.
