"Oh my god!" Victoria exclaims as the front door to her small, cheap apartment is slammed open. Oh great. She knocked down her juice, too. "What're you so excited about?" She asks, grabbing a paper towel and starting to clean up the mess.
"Guess what," Bella cooes in a sing-song voice, sauntering her way over to Victoria, sitting onto the couch and the spot the brunette girl just was sitting in. "You know Antonio~ I mean, you introduced me to him. Well... he kissed me," She says with a proud look, a pink blush on her cheeks.
Pause. Just for a bit.
Wait.
"Really? That's great!" Victoria gets back up once the mess is clean enough, walking to the trash can and tossing away the dirty paper.
Just smile.
Pretend like it doesn't hurt.
Go.
Looking at the peppy blonde with a big, enthusiastic smile, she goes over to her and hugs her. "I'm so happy for you, Bel. I really am."
"Thanks, Vici," She says with a dreamy sigh. The two girls pull away from the hug.
Was it really a hug?
Hugs are supposed to be heartfelt.
They're supposed to show... friendship. Appreciation. Love.
What was this?
A false whim.

"So, I really think that..." The man with those strange, red eyes- AKA Gilbert -trailed off as he began to notice Victoria stare off, not listening to him. Following her brown gaze, his eyes also landed upon Antonio, who had just come to her apartment to pick up Belgium for yet again another date.
Gilbert's a good friend of hers. She studied over in Germany a little while back, and she soon moved to Spain. It was just a really strange coincidence that she ran into her very pale blonde friend here.
Frowning a bit at the look of longing in her eyes, Gilbert finally just looked away towards the ground as the couple left and Victoria was left staring at the door in silence. "He's not that great."
The whole place was left silent as Victoria turned to look at her friend, trying to play innocent. But she knows who he's talking about.
The cause of her sadness and tears.
Before he and Bella even knew each other, she and Antonio would always talk.
Laugh.
Smile.
She fell in love with him, but what happened? She introduced him to Bella, thinking nothing of it. She wouldn't like him. He's not her type and she's not his.
Definitely not true.
It turns out Bella's just his type and Antonio is exactly her type. The two fit together perfectly. She has blonde hair that's golden and smooth; Antonio has that beautiful smile along with his welcoming green eyes.
"I... um," Gilbert starts, clearing his throat mid-sentence as a slight red blush becomes oh-so easily visible on his pale cheeks. "...I think you're... beautiful..yeah," He says, looking down at the ground. Believe it or not- nervously.
His words caught her attention. She knows it's not like him to say things like that. He seems so meek right now. Also unlike him. A blush found its way onto her face as well.
Shy,
bashful.
Maybe that's why she has no one to love her. She's too afraid to go out and actually try to get who she loves. She doesn't want the rejection.
