Normally Perfect

Chapter 5: Best Friends

The next day I expect the unexpected. Yesterday I found out a lot about people. I found out that the people who I thought could tell me ANYTHING simply just can't anymore. Or maybe they never did. Maybe this wasn't the first time. Maybe it's been like this the entire time. I'm left wondering. That's what hurts the most. The time in which you can only guess. I also learned that Kai has the biggest heart that a 7 year old could ever have. Most importantly, I found out that Sofie is truly my best friend (other than Elli of course).

People piss me off, annoy me, say incredibly stupid stuff, and so much more, but I can depend on Sofie to be there for me. We say weird things and then laugh about it later. We have the most pointless arguments that last forever. I can depend on her to be the one who understands. I could hate entire world, but I can't hate Sofie.

That's part of what a best friend is.

She is my best friend also because I can trust her and I can be myself and say things I never knew I could say out loud. She brings out a part of me that I can't bring out with anyone else. She just makes me feel me. I might not agree with her sometimes, and we might do something that will make the other person upset, but we'll make up and understand it was a mistake and that we can move on.

That's another part of a best friend.

It could also be that she inspires me. Before her I didn't know I could dig deeper and produce something beautiful, magical almost. There's something about her that makes me strive to be my best. Even though I may be better at some things and she better at others, I like to think it goes both ways. I inspire her because she inspires me, and she inspires me because I inspire her. I know she will always be my friend. I know I will always love her. Now and forever.

These are all different aspects that make her my best friend. Some things you just can't explain. The more you try to, the less special it gets. There's something about not being able to describe it that makes friendship perfect.

"Kai! Wake up!" I yell after I snap out of my train of thought. I sigh when I don't hear a response. I quickly put a top and jeans on and cross the hall into Kai's room. "Kai, you're going to be late for school if you don't wake up within the next 5 minutes."

"Ugrh..." Kai grunts. I shake my head while smiling as I exit his room. He better not be late. I don't want him to get in trouble.

I run downstairs not bothering to check my phone for texts. I see toast, bacon, and eggs on the counter with a lid to keep it warm. That's odd. I guess mom was in a good mood this morning. She never makes breakfast, especially a breakfast like this!

Kai then comes barrelling down the stairs in an outfit mom picked out. He is struggling to button the last button. I chuckle to myself and kneel in front of him. "Kai, you're a big boy now, huh?" I ruffle his hair which makes him groan. I smile to myself.

This boy is going to make some girl happy one day. More than happy. He's going to make her fall helplessly in love with him, and he's going to fall hopelessly in love with her. They're going to be happy forever with children. This little boy right here is going to do that. One day it will happen.

"Whart tirme irs irt?" Kai asks with his mouth full of eggs. I just roll my eyes.

"8:30. Hurry up or you're going to be late." I pause for a split second. "Oh, and don't talk with your mouth full." I walk back upstairs to get my backpack and my phone. Quickly glancing at it I see I have 2 missed texts from Sofie and 1 missed text from Elliot.

From: Sofieee

hav u heard from erica?

From: Sofieee

erica is ignoring me

From: Ellie

hang out sometime?

I sigh in frustration at the first two, but I smile when I read the third. It seams that I haven't had a one on one talk with Elliot since forever. I decide to text him back first.

To: Ellie

Sure! Time?

Now on to texting Erica. I sense a rant about to happen.

To: Erica

Havent heard from her. Should I be worried?

I really just want to sleep. I've had enough of talking to people. I lie down on my bed and within 5 seconds I have already fallen asleep.

----
Sometime later I wake up with no recollection of what just happened. It was nice. Then I remembered. That wasn't as nice.

Why does there have to be friend drama? I just want to be able to hang out with my friends without having to worry about if she's mad at me or not or if she secretly hates everything about me. I just want friends. I don't think people know the definition of friends.

I sigh and I check my phone. I see that Ellie texted me back. So did Erica.

From Ellie:

Be over at your house in an hour.

What time is it? Shoot! This was sent 55 minutes ago! I better get up and change.

I totally forget about the text from Erica.

I put on neon green shorts and a white t-shirt. There are still 2 minutes until Ellie comes. My eyes start to feel heavy so I lay down.

I hear a knock on my door. I ignore it and roll over. The knocking just got louder. I groan and roll over once more. I hear my door open and before I could utter a single word, a pillow hit me. "Get up, Ena."

"Go away, Ellie."

"Aww, babe."

"Don't call me babe."

"Someone's in a bad mood."

My head starts to spin and I feel a migraine coming on. My stomach cramps up and it feels like something is squeezing everything in my stomach together. "Ellie..." I whisper.

Hey guys, I finally updated! I had most of this written for a while but just didn't finish it. For the best friend part I used real feelings to describe 3 very different friendships I have. You know who you are ;). Next chapter won't take so long to write, I promise. Thanks for reading!
