Is it impossible?

Sophia's pov:

After Lucas approved Stella to come over, I began to walk to the living room.

Last night, I really thought about what Billie said to me and it made me realize I'm not alone. I need to accept the fact that I have "eating issues". I just need to get past this.

I sat on the mustard yellow couch and grabbed the floral blanket and laid it on top of myself.

"Hey"

I turned my head and saw Billie walking toward me. Oh my god. Butterflies. I think she likes me. Maybe?

"Hi" I said with an uncontrollable smile.
"I'm proud of you..."
"Thanks" I said, with my cheeks blushing.
"Hey uh, can I ask you a question?" said Billie

Billie sat down next to me on the couch. My heart began racing.

"Go for it" I said and immediately cringed at my word choice.

"It's about your brother..."

Fuck.

"... is he single orrr?" she asked awkwardly.

"Um, yeah he is" I said dryly and looked at my phone. Damn that hurt.

"That's great thanks bae" she said, making me grin.

Fuckkkkkkk. Of course Lucas had to steal this from me. He's always been the favorite. Always. Mom loved him but hated me. I got sick of it and moved to Italy with dad. Later on he moved here too because of some work thing.

My phone chimed and I picked it up. It's Stella

Stella
I'm here

I dropped my phone and practically ran to the door. I ran past Billie and Lucas who were now talking. Ugh.

I swung the door open and hugged my bestie.

"Heyyyyy" she said while walking inside.

Everyone inside responded with different greetings and the two of us walked upstairs.

"Ugh dude, Billie is into Lucas" I groaned and fell into my bed.

"Wait really? Isn't your brother gay" she said, sitting on my desk chair.

"Oh shit i didn't think of that... eh, it's fine, now she'll know how I'm feeling"

"That's kinda messed up" said Stella whilst spinning back and forth in the chair.

We began laughing and carrying on to talk about other topics. I couldn't stop thinking about Billie. Stella noticed my strange behavior and asked what was wrong.

"I just can't stop fucking thinking of Billie" I said. "Last night she told me that she went through the same body issues as me" I paused. Stella was looking at me contently and nodding her head. "I don't know man. I hope I'm not falling in love"

"Dude, you can't fall in love again. Remember last time?"

Ugh last time. I fell in love with this guy who treated me like shit. But no matter what he did, I kept going back to him. It was so toxic. I fall in love way too easily.

"Shit i Hope Not" I responded.

The two of us hung in my room for a while until we got bored. I suggested going shopping to which she happily agreed.

"Let me go get dressed" I said.

I found a cute skirt and a simple white top. I put on this pair of boots that I got free from a modeling agency. They're like 1000 dollars.

We headed downstairs and saw everyone in the same place. They've been talking this whole time.

"We're going shopping" said Stella as we left the building.

"Oh my god, Poem your boots are so pretty can you get me a pair?" Asked Lucas. Billie shot him a strange look.

I was laughing hysterically inside.

"Not unless you have an extra thousand dollars laying around" I said and walked out.

Stella began laughing loudly as we entered the car.

"Dude, she has no idea" I said, laughing with her.

We sang along to "Butter" which was playing on the radio, until my phone chimed again.
