Introduction

"Bye darling," she cries, her arms stretched above her head as she waves frantically at me from across the road. I roll my eyes and wave back- gentler than her harsh and over exaggerated movements; Gabi was always one for drama and theatrics. She shoves her suitcase into the boot of her car and swivels on her heels.
"You'll miss me really," she shouts, obviously catching my eye roll from so far away. Gabi has eyes like a hawk- I hope she doesn't see my scowl in her direction. I try to pull my face into a sad smile, though I'm not really upset to see her leave.
I hope the USA welcomes her with open arms.
Then I won't have to see her again.
"I don't think I will," I mumble, as she unlocks the door of her Mercedes, her sheet of black hair billows behind her as she walks. Gabi turns to face me just before she slides into the leather seat and smiles- it's the one she uses when she knows she's got away with something.
Maybe she has.
I'll double check my room tonight.
I hear the clacking of her shoes as she swiftly tucks her slender legs into her swanky car. Gabi takes off as quickly as she can, not lingering around too long to see my glare in her direction.
Most people think I should be sad to see her go. But I can't be.
Most people think she was my best friend. But she wasn't.
Most people think Gabi is the nicest, kindest person you would ever meet.
But she's just good at lying, putting on a good show whilst she stabs you in the back as hard as possible.
Maybe once we were friends, those that watched out for each other and never once even thought about betraying the other.
But that was too long ago to remember and now I only have the memories of hatred and bulling.
I'm glad she's left.
Maybe, just maybe, there might be a chance of me being happy.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll have the happy ending I've always craved.
Maybe, just maybe, instead of her, it'll be me.
Will I finally be the princess in the story?
