She's My Best Friend

Dani's Pov

"I just wish I had someone." Tanya finshed telling me for the third time this week.

"Yeah. Don't we all." I retort.

She scowls at this.

"What's you're problem lately? I'm trying to have a decent conversation with my friend."

I sigh.

"I'm sorry. It's just, I'm still getting over my mother's death in case you forgot." 

"Yeah, I get it.  But, are you sure that's all that's wrong? You've been really strange the last few days."

"I mean, if you want we can go shopping. Just you and me. I bet it'll make you feel better.What do ya s--"

"I like Joey." I interrupt her.

"What?" her jaw hitts the floor.

"You heard me, I like Joey. A lot."

"Shit." 

"I know, it's really terrible, snap me out of it please."

"Okay, well, what do you see in him?"

"I don't know, Tanya!" 

I sigh again before continuing.

"All I know is that I like a guy that I should not like, whatsoever."

"Well, try to remember that he's a womanizing pervert." she says to me, playfully.

"I know that." I say, before pausing then continuing.

"Hey, do you remember my friend Cat?"

"The girl I met at the party? Brown hair, brown eyes?"

"That's the one."

"What about her?"

"You can't tell anyone I told you this."

"Sure. What is it?"

"No, you have to swear!" I say, starting to spazz out.

"I swear." she says slowly.

"Cat and Joey slept together. At the party."

Tanya stares at me for a quick second.

"I'm not suprised, to be honest." she says, as she remains straight-faced.

"How can you not be?"

"It was bound to happen eventually."

It's silent for a second, as I wait for Tanya to elaborate.

She rolls her eyes, sighing at my obvious confusion.

"I saw how they were stealing glances at the party. Either it was just lust, or they like each other, although I'm not sure which."

Now I'm the one to roll my eyes.

"Tanya, no offence but don't really know that much about Cat. I mean, she'd never fall for a guy like Joey or even sleep with one for that matter."

"But she did."

"She was drunk!"

I pause then continue.

"She's not stupid like I am. She's super smart and strong, and a hell of a lot funnier than I am."

"If you say so, Dani, if you say so." she mutters under her breath.

"I do say so! But seriously, can we just change the subject for now? I don't wanna keep thinking about Joey or how much I like him."

"Whatevs Dani. It's obvious that you're jealous."

"Yeah, Damn right I'm jealous! That's why I don't wanna talk about it anymore. I'm not gonna let some guy come between me and my best friend."

"Whatever you say, hun." Tanya repeats getting up to throw her trash away.
