Alone forever.

The night was still as I sat beside my window, letting the sound of owls fill my ears. I sighed before picking up the book I was in the middle of reading. Romeo and Juliet. The best selling book since forever. Gee. If only I had a guy as sweet and caring and hot and absolutely amazing an-I was snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of my phone ringing. I read the caller ID Hayden.

Hayden is my best friend. I would never let him in on the feelings I shared for him. That would ruin everything before you called say well done Ellie! You messed up again!

"Hello?" I answered, closing my book.

"Hey Ell"

"Whats up Haydz?" I asked.

"Oh not much really, just needed to hear your voice" He made me smile like a fool.

"Naw really?"

"Yeah, I guess when im in doubt, hearing my best friends voice makes my life easier" The smile soon faded at the words best friend.

"Yeah, I understand" I lied. Of course I didn't understand! It was so confusing.

"Mmm yeah, so I also need to ask you a question Ellie"

"Go for it kid" I exclaimed. He took in a deep breath before speaking.

"Well, Hannah comes back to town on Thursday, and I want to know if you could ask her on a date for me" My heart sunk.

"Yeah, of course" I said, my voice sounding feral.

"Are you sure you're okay with it? I mean, you sound like its a bad idea and I want to make sur-"

"Hayden, its fine! Im happy to do the favour" I cut him off, putting on a weird voice to make it sound much more believable.

"Thanks chic, you really are doing me a huge favour. I love you"

I knew he only loved me in a friendly way. But even if that may be the truth, my cheeks still brightened like the sun.

"I love you too Haydz. I better go, I have some serious texting to do!"

He chuckled before talking.

"Okay bye ell!"

And with that I could no longer here is sexy voice from the other end of the line. I moaned before adding Hannah's name into a message.

Hey Hannah! Its Ellie here, and I was wondering if you had a minute to chat? :)

I sat nervously, waiting to see what the spoilt brats answer would be.

Umm sure, I guess.

Okay well…Since you are coming back home on Thursday, Hayden wants to know if you will go on a date with him?

Why couldn't he ask me himself?

I dunno. Nerves I guess.

Mmm well, tell him I accept.

Okay cool. Thanks :) xx

You're welcome  x

Thank god that was over!

Hannah Truant was the Whore of the town. Since she moved away to boarding school, everyone lived peacefully. And by everyone, I mean me. Hayden had this thing for her since 3rd grade, and that made my blood boil. But since she was coming home for the holidays, I knew he would try and win her over.

I threw my phone on my bed before getting up and walking towards my bathroom. I stood in front of the large mirror, and randomly started comparing myself to her.
