SIX

"Hey Soph." Sophia was greeted by the bright smile of Caroline as she entered the school doors.

"Hey Care. How you feeling?" Caroline seemed very happy for someone who had just went through the ordeal she had.

"Great. Damon is a thing of the past and I am moving on." She spoke with vindication, as she handed out flyers for her fundraiser.

"You are miraculously well adjusted." Sophia chuckled as she shook her head at the girl in front of her.

Caroline suddenly turned to face Sophia stopping them dead in their tracks.

"So, Sexy-suds is tomorrow and you will be there." She explained, handing her a flyer.

"Absolutely not." Sophia retorted, shoving the flyer back to her.

Standing half naked while old gross men watch you wash their car was not something Sophia wanted to subject herself to.

"As organiser of the fundraiser and your best friend, I say you have to." Caroline gave her a pointed face. She really had to go a pull the best friend card?

"Really?" Sophia asked, hoping she would change her mind at her look of unease.

"Plus, once you get that hot bod out, the guys will be falling at your feet." Caroline added as she began walking again, Sophia keeping up with her.

"And what makes you think I want a guy?" She laughed at her friend. That last thing on the girls mind was finding a boyfriend, her life is far to complicated for anyone to handle.

"Please, I know you haven't got laid since Troy Stephens" Caroline snickered and Sophia slapped her on the shoulder with a wide eyed expression, not believing she was bringing up her sex life.

"Who is Troy Stephens?" This must have been before he appeared. He was kind of glad he didn't have to witness that though.

Troy was Sophia's first boyfriend, they got together at fifteen and lasted a good nine months until she broke up with him after he criticised her life choice too often.

He was a sweet boy, he played lacrosse and treated her right. Sophia just wasn't in the correct headspace to be loved by someone.

"Well I can assure you Caroline, I am not interested in finding a man." She answered her friend.

"Fine. But you will attending tomorrow." Caroline pointed at the girl."

"Fine." She caved and snatch the flyer back from the blonde, who began to strut off as she spotted some of her cheerleading friends.

"Wear your best bikini!" Caroline shouted to the girl from down the hall and Sophia's cheek heated up with embarrassment as people turned and looked at her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Sophia walked to the school, she was glad the sun was shining. At least now , she would get a tan standing in her bikini.

As she approached the fundraiser, she could see Caroline marching around barking out orders at people. Sophia chuckled at the girl, always the control freak, she hoped she'd never change.

"Right Caroline, I'm here. Where do you want me?" She stood in front of the girl who was manning the money stand.

"You can go help Bonnie over in that section." She pointed behind her to where Bonnie, Matt and another girl from the cheerleading squad were.

"But it is sexy suds you know? Get your kit off." Caroline looked Sophia up and down in a judgmental way with the latter rolling her eyes at the girl.

"Have you ever considered becoming a pimp?" Sophia asked, with raised eyebrows.
