I sat on my couch, bored out of my mind watching a lame chick flick. I had nothing to do as usual. I felt kinda alone for awhile ever since my older sister left for New Jersey for her stupid job. Thus, leaving me behind.

My sister, Janie is practically my everything. She's been taking care of me since our parents died. And you know, it's kinda weird not having a nagging older sis around. I mean I miss her already even though she left two weeks ago. Now I have this house all to myself.

I invite my friends over almost everyday, and sometimes have mini parties on the weekends. I don't think Janie minds as long as I don't trash the place. Today, my friend Kimberly invited me to hang with her and her new boyfriend, Tom.

My phone beeped.

'Heyy, Marie..wanna hang with Tom and I at McDonald's?'

I knew what she was doing, she was going to invite me to pay for the food, and then leave me alone to play with her boy toy. But, for some reason..I still accepted her invite. (I know, I'm stupid..) But I only accepted it because I was so bored.

'Ok..meet you there.'

I grabbed my cute red flats and slipped them on. They had contrasted with the black tunic I was wearing. The tunic was short enough to show my long, smooth shaven legs, and it fitted my lithe shape perfectly. I don't always dress to impress, but today I just felt like I needed to.

****

"So. When did you guys meet?" I said sipping my mocha frappe.

"Well, we met in person a month ago and ever since we've been dating." Kim said while clinging onto Tom. Her desperation really annoyed me, but I kept it to myself. I don't like showing people my true feelings most of the time.

"Yeah, heh. What she said." Tom seemed like the type a guy that lets women walk all over him..

"You know, Marie, you've been single for so long..you need someone." Kim said.

"No. I don't. I don't need anyone to make myself happy."

When I said that it came out meaner than how i meant to say it.

"Ok, then. That's you. Stay lonely forever."

"Ugh. Kim shut up." I was getting increasingly annoyed. If she was going to be a bitch then fine I can be a bigger bitch.

Kim had rolled her eyes, and Tom just kept silent. It turned into an awkward atmosphere for a few minutes. We were so silent you could only here me sipping my frappe. (I loved frappés) Kim looked at Tom, and kissed him on the lips over exaggeratedly. I guess this was her way of trying to make me jealous, but all it did was make me gag.

I couldn't help but glance at them, smooching excessively in front of me.

"Um. Guys?" I tried to break the awkwardness..But it didn't work. Kim was practically sucking Tom's lips off of his face. I sighed. I tried to keep my mind off them by looking at random people around. Then, I spotted a very handsome stranger waiting in line.

I surely couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was older than me and definitely suave. He was wearing a tank top that showed his glowing triceps. His curtained hair looked soft and silky as the light hit it. Although I could only see the side of him, I couldn't keep my eyes off. I was so busy gazing at him, I totally forgot that Kim and Tom were still sucking their souls out of each other.
