I got up from the sofa, awkwardly putting my arms by my side as I stood up.
"So, you and Luke?" Lois said, mockingly raising her eyebrows.
"Actually, nothing happened." I said. I didn't want to tell her about Luke, I didn't want anyone to know.
"OK?" She said smiling and laughing.
"Do you want to watch a movie?"
"White Chicks?" I said, smirking at her.
She laughed. "Yeah, let me just go make a call."
"OK" I said, while putting the DVD in the player.
After about five minutes, she came back in and we started the movie. We didn't really watch it, we just talked about crap really.
About half way through the movie, she asked me a question that I realty didn't want to answer.
"Are you sure nothing happened with you and Luke today?" Lois asked.
I might as well tell her, she isn't going to tell anyone. She's my best friend.
"Well, we was about to kiss just before you came in and he may or may have been lying on top of me." I said, trying not to laugh at her reaction. She just sat there with her mouth wide open.
"Fucking hell, you go Sydney!" She said doing a weird dance that caused me to laugh loudly.
Just as I stopped laughing, the door went. Lois obviously knew who it was because she ran to the door.
"Calum, Luke, -wait who are you?" Lois asked, she sounded quite blunt.
She didn't tell me he was coming over. Well I'm fucked.
"This is my date, Bethany." Luke said. What the fuck, was he trying to piss me off on purpose. Why would he come to MY house and bring his date that he probably wont remember the name of by tomorrow. What an arse.
"Thanks for inviting a stranger into my house Luke." Lois said bluntly while rolling her eyes.
"It's fine Lois, I'm sure she's nice." I said walking towards the door. She was wearing a black, tight, short dress. Ew.
"OK, well come in" Lois said giving Bethany a sarcastic smile as she closed the front door.
We all sat down on both the sofa's and talked. I went to grab some popcorn but Bethany's comment stopped me.
"Are you sure you want to eat that? Look at you." Bethany said, smirking at me. That comment hurt, but I wasn't going to act weak and walk out the room crying.
"Yeah, I'm good." I said grabbing a hand full of popcorn. I chewed it as loud as I could with my mouth open to make her feel uncomfortable. Lois laughed at my actions.
"Do you want any Bethany?" I asked, giving her a sarcastic smile.
"No thanks, I don't want to end up looking like you." She said mocking my weight.
That one hit me like a ton of bricks, but before I could react, Lois beat me to it.
"GET THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW." Lois shouted at Bethany. She got her things and left without saying another word.
I sat there awkwardly, not knowing what to do or say next. I looked down at myself, now feeling disgusted at what I saw.
"I'll be right back." I said running to the bathroom, I tried to hold back my tears bit couldn't. Why would she say that? I don't even know the girl and she goes and says that right to my face.
I'd been in the bathroom for about ten minutes, I knew Lois wouldn't follow me because she knows I like to be alone when I'm upset.
"Syd. We're going to bed now, me and Cal are in my room and you can go downstairs if you want because all your pillow's and covers are down there, goodnight." Lois said.
"Night." I said trying to sound as happy as I possibly could.
I stood up and looked in the mirror, raising my top to show a small part of my stomach. I started crying again. I've never liked my weight. I hated the way my thighs touched, I hated the way my stomach hung out of my jeans, I hated the chub on my arms.
I quickly pulled my top down as the bathroom door opened. Shit, I forgot to lock it.
"Sydney?" It was Luke.
"Yeah?" I said wiping away my tears.
"Why are you crying?" He asked sounding concerned. Why did he care?
"Look at me, I'm disgusting."
"Sydney, no you're not."
"Yes I am, Luke." I said, I didn't realize that I was crying again until he wiped away my tears with his thumb.
"Sydney, you really don't realize how fucking gorgeous you are, do you?" Did Luke really Luke really just say that.
I started crying again, but this time It was from happiness. I've never been called gorgeous by a boy before - unless my dad counts.
He pulled me in for a tight hug and started stroking my hair.
"Do you want to go to sleep now?" he asked, slowly pulling away from the hug.
"OK" I said smiling at him.
We both walked downstairs and slept on the sofa. I was about to go the that was opposite him but then he stopped.
"Come and sleep on here with me?" I didn't want to be rude and say no, so I accepted. We both lay on the sofa. He put his arms around me.
"Luke."
"Yeah?"
"Why are you acting like this?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.
"Why are you being nice to me? Why are you treating me like I'm a princess?"
"Because that's what you deserve." He said,
"Thank you." I smiled at him.
"It's OK." He said, returning the smile.
I wasn't sure how long this Luke was going to last, but I was going to enjoy it while it last
