Dream of perfect love

She was always a wild child, she couldn’t feel stagnant, she always wanted to move and talk, complain and think out loud. She was pleasantly noisy, mostly with her songs. ‘’Dolls’’ was the name of her music band which soon was changed to 'Paola's squad'. But it ended, spontaneously as it first started, an oath given in the back yard of Paola’s house where her and Jessica promised each other, that they would let no guy to get between them, but that was when they were just twelve years old,  just because Josh could be easily forgotten, but not Matthew Maclean, he was someone special, he was different than the others, you could only love or hate him. Both Paola and Jessica loved him,  more than their lives, more than their friendship, more than anything in this world, both desired to live the dream of perfect love with him. ''So what? Are you telling me that we need to change the name of our group just because you like your new neighbor?'' Paola said angrily and Bailey, the third member of ‘Paola’s squad’ knew that this would end up into a big fight between Paola and Jessica. ''It's not interesting with only us girls, a boy will get this group to another level’’ Jessica exclaimed! ''I created this group! I am the voice who everybody wants to hear, a boy will only turn the attention on him'' ''Thus you are so good, why do you care so much?'' Jessica asked visibly bothered ''Because I spend a lot of time for this group, I write the songs, I write the melody.. I'' ''And what are we doing? we do nothing?'' ''You know that's not what I meant Bailey'' ''Then what?'' ''Don't try to turn Bailey against me Jessica, is not going to work'' ''I don't try to turn anyone against anyone'' said Jessica frowning ''All three of us are part of this group, each one in her own field, I do the PR, Bailey the choreographies, you write the songs and music and we all sing, because we love to sing, songs unite people, not the opposite’’ ''Then stop bringing your personal life into our group, OUR group'' Paola almost screamed ''Exactly, OUR group and I HAD AN IDEA, I am asking you, I didn't bring him here'' ''I bet you told him already'' ''I did, I said I will ask both of you if you would like to meet him and then, he would decide if he wants to join'' ''Oh the prince of Midmond, IF he wants to join! Oh pleeeease do us a favor to join our ALREADY successful group!'' ''Cut it off'' ''Or what?'' ''Stop! Both of you! Enough'' said Bailey in a hopeless effort to stop their fight ''She started it'' cried out Jessica ''You did with your silly ideas, you really don't have other ways to approach this guy, you need to get him to the group?'' ''I am not going to discuss it more, we have democracy, we will vote!'' ''Do you know what democracy means?? I thought you failed History lesson'' ''At least I got my driving license in my first effort!'' ''With an AUTO car, b***h!'' ''You are the only b***h in this room'' ''You both stop or I leave'' Bailey yelled at both of them. ''We have democracy, let's vote, let's vote because it is the only way I can get a boyfriend!!'' Paola said mockingly. ''Stop making fun of me asshole'' ''That's it, shut up both of you, long story short, do we want this guy to join our group or not?'' Said Bailey quietly. ''No!'' ''Yes! so Bailey now it’s on you, what's your decision'' ''Our group is awesome, we have a lot of fun together, we are good in what we do but, I... believe that... maybe if the friend of Jessica is good, only then... maybe we can consider him'' ''I smell Victory'' ''Hold on Jessica, I said maybe..'' ''Oh trust me, now I made my decision, am out! if you want a group, make a group on your own with your stupid Andrew'' ''Its Matthew!!! and stick your middle finger where it belongs! '' The door closed and the silence was awfully hurting Bailey's heart. ''Shit.. she left, do you think she meant that?'' ''I don't care'' ''She is your best friend of course you do Jess'' ''She is a selfish Diva who doesn't want Matthew only because she doesn't want to share the attention’’ ''We need to get her back'' ''I don’t really care, It's time for someone else to shine! She gets all the attention, everywhere we go, whatever we do, she gets all the credits''. Paola's POV That day I arrived home and locked myself in my room, smoking the one cigarette after the other, I was so pissed off that I forgot that my mother and nanny could smell it, obviously they didn't know about me smoking. My nanny was the first one to realize when there was something wrong with me. She knew it as soon as I threw my bag to the hall way and run to my room, I wanted to lock my door and lock everyone out, in that moment I didn't want to hear, think or see anything or anyone. ''What happened Paola, open the door baby'' My nanny was knocking the door, I closed my eyes and yelled to her  to leave me alone ''Bailey called twice looking for you'' ''She can call a hundred times, I am  not going to talk to her'' ''Open the door please'' ''No, just go away'' ''You leave me with no choice, I will tell your mother'' ''Tell my mother and then what?'' ''She will, she will put an end to this'' ''I don’t care’’ ''Ayyy Paola you are so stubborn'' ''Let me be!'' ''You need to get ready, open the door I will help you'' "Am not five anymore, I can dress on my own and anyway am not coming'' ''Your mother will get upset'' ''My mother can f**k herself ''Good Lord Paola open the door and tell me what happened... Paola... Paola???Paola?'' Paola’s POV I put my earphones, like I did every time that I didn't want to listen, every time I wanted to get lost in my thoughts,  but now the only person I could think of was Matthew and what was so special about him that led Jessica to react the way she did, I didn't know him and I was already upset on him, I am not sure but I think I hate him. With these thoughts I fell asleep, neither the music coming from the garden next to our pool or the sixteen text messages I got from Bailey could wake me up. For the next days, I didn't show up at school, my mother was on a business trip and I could always get what I wanted from my Nana.  It was a Friday afternoon, the sun was so strong that almost made Paola dizzy, she was getting her sun tan by the pool when Bailey, Jessica and a guy showed up out of nowhere. All of a sudden all three of them were standing in front of her, she was only wearing a tiny red bikini which made her feel uncomfortable in front of him. She was always so confident and so sure about herself, performing in front of so many people, but now she was feeling like she was standing naked in the middle of a crowded parking, she was 100% that the guy standing there with them was the so called Matthew that Jessica was crazy about, now she could understand why!.
