Short Stories

Chandelier

A girl with beautiful, curly red hair and vibrant green eyes stood on a chair in the middle of a room. The room was empty of everything except for Julia, the girl, the chair she was standing on, a beautiful, extravagant chandelier, and another girl.

The other girl was ugly in comparison to Julia. She had frizzy, dull brown hair and boring gray eyes. This other girl's name was Judith, and she was crying.

It was Judith's first day at a new school. This was her second time in her high school career moving. Judith was shy, so moving was hard for her.

Judith walked into the school. She went to the front office to get her schedule and locker. There was only the lady behind the desk and a beautiful girl in the office. The girl sat with perfect posture and had a small, permanent smile resting on her face.

Judith walked up to the desk with the lady behind it.

"Excuse me," Judith said in a quiet voice.

"How can I help you?" the lady asked.

"My-my name is Judith," she said. She took a deep breath to continue speaking, but the lady was already talking.

"Nice to meet you Judith! Welcome to our lovely school," the lady replied. "Julia, over there"—she pointed to the red haired girl—"will show you around the school and answer any questions you have. She also has your schedule and locker. I hope that you have a wonderful first day, sweetheart!"

Judith turned to face Julia. Julia was already standing. Judith's breath was taken away for how absolutely stunning Julia was. She had eyes that drawer you in and refused to let you go. Julia had adorable freckles peppering her cheeks. She had tiny lips that Judith wanted to kiss. Julia's body was perfect. Her waist was tiny, but not too tiny. Overall, Julia was perfect.

"Here is your schedule and locker," Julia said. Her voice was sweet and slightly breathy. Judith loved it. "I've already looked over your schedule, and we have all of the same classes, so it will make it easier to show you around. Let's go to your locker."

Judith could only nod. She tried to speak, but her body was too numb from being in the presence of such a perfect specimen.

Julia left and Judith followed.

Julia was pointing to where different things were and telling Judith about them. Judith want processing a thing. She was nodding along while staring at Julia with heart eyes.

They arrived at Judith's locker. Julia let Judith open it and put her stuff in it. Julia didn't laugh or look annoyed when it took Judith multiple tries to open the metal box. It made Judith love her even more.

Once Judith had gotten her things in her locker, her and Julia set off to their first period.

They went everywhere together. Julia never ditched Judith, and she never talked to her friends and ignored Judith. Whenever someone came up to talk to Julia, she would introduce Judith.

There was simply no way Judith couldn't fall in love with this girl.

At lunch, Julia took Judith and they sat by themselves even though multiple people told Julia to ditch Judith and to come sit with them. Julia was loyal. She wouldn't betray anyone. If she was given a project, she wouldn't half-heartedly do it. She would do it all the way to the best of her ability.
