World on Fire

Some days, it can feel like my life is on fire. Like everything is wrong. And sometimes, the world is okay, like I can finally breathe. Lately, the world has been on fire.

If you think being in love with an international pop star who's a goddess and so talented is easy- you are definitely wrong. Especially when you see her every. single. day. No actually. And it gets worse, imagine that even though you see her, and she's just a few tiny inches away, you have barely spoken a word to each other. Maybe just some standard 'hello's' and 'goodbye's'. Maybe one time she complimented your new shoes that you were dying for her to notice and all you do is smile- like a damn idiot! 

But actually, like thinking about it now- God. How does one achieve this lifestyle? I'll tell you how, in pain! Because that's me! That's me every day. My sister, Iris, had been best friends with Olivia Rodrigo since before I can remember. In fact, the first time she brought her over for a play date, I tried to play tea party with them but I was kicked out for being too 'little'. And by too little, only being a year younger. I grew up being the 'little sister'. And hearing my mom say, "if you're going to go you have to take Y/n," followed by Iris's groans. Eventually, I started to catch along and say I was sick, or didn't feel like it to avoid her getting upset.

But if I knew Olivia would be there, I'd always be up for it. Even if I had to hear Iris complain.

Flashback

"Mommm," I hear from my room, Iris's complaining. "I don;t to be the only one with my little sister there, this is so embarrassing!"

"Oh stop it! She's only 16, there's really not a huge difference, Iris, so behave."

I feel guilty making her so upset, like a burden to be taken to one of her friends' parties. But to be fair, the last time they hung out at our house, she did mention I could join if I wanted. Iris said she was just being nice, but if she offered, I don't see a problem, right?

I finish my make up and walk downstairs to meet them in the kitchen.

"My baby! You look so pretty!" My mom smiles and kisses my cheeks. Iris smiles tightly.

"I'm ready!" I say looking at her, she nods. "We're just waiting for Liv."

"Okay!' I smile, and try to keep my cool- as if she's not the only reason why I am going to this stupid party. We wait in silence until someone knocks at the door before coming in.

"Hey guysss," she says, walking to us.

"Hey," my sister grumbles. "Y/n will be joining us." She motions to me. I smile and try to contain my blush.
"Oh, cool!" She smiles and Iris shakes her head, making Olivia frown. There's awkward silence before she says to get into her car. She drives a jeep that is white and just so gorgeous. I sit in the back while gossiping and talk about the boys that are going to be there.

"Will you be looking for anyone special, Y/n? Any boys on your mind?" Olivia asks, making eye contact with me through the rearview mirror. I am about to answer when my sister cuts me off.

"Y/n!?" She laughs out loud. "You think she'd have an eye on someone?"

"Well, I don't know!" She shrugs and laughs playfully.

"That's funny. Even if she did, it definitely wouldn't be a boy if you know what I mean." She elbows her and what the fuck. Did my sister just out me?

"What?" She asks, clueless. I shrink in my seat.

"Like you know, she won't be looking at the boys," she hints and Olivia silently "ohhhh's" and steals a glance at me in the back. Jesus Christ. I wipe a tear away and just look out the window. My sister tries to fill the awkward silence until we get to the party.
