Torn Between (KOTLC Story)

Chapter 1

Ok, so, hello again. I really don't have much to say here, so, on to the story!

Sophie headed downstairs happily, knowing that Keefe, her wonderful boyfriend, was probably waiting outside for her. Grady still had doubts about their relationship, but with a lot of begging and pleading on Sophie's part, as well as reasoning from Edaline, he agreed to give it a chance. (Sorry, Sophitz shippers. Don't worry, I'll probably change it sooner or later). Sophie stepped outside, and raced up to Calla's tree, hoping to see Keefe. Sure enough, he was waiting for her, with his trademark mischievous smirk and artfully messed-up hair. She grinned and his smirk grew wider.

"Somebody couldn't wait to see me after all, huh?" He teased.

"Shut up, Keefe", Sophie muttered, blushing."I still don't know how I ended up with you."

For a second, his face grew thoughtful, as if asking himself the same thing. But it wasn't a bad thing, she mused. He's annoying sometimes, but he makes me smile like nobody else can. Keefe's voice jolted her out of her sappy thoughts.

"Foster? Earth to Foster!" "Huh? What?" Keefe grinned. "It's so easy to make you flustered, you know that?" "So I've been told." "What were you thinking about?" He asked. "You're zoning out a lot lately." "I'm fine. Just... Thinking." "Well, no duh."

Sophie changed the subject, leaning into Keefe as she told him about her strange dream. He sighed, and looked like he wanted to say something, when Fitz and Biana ran up to them, stopping abruptly a few inches away from both of them.

"Mr. Forkle hailed us, he told us we have to meet him in a specific place, I really shouldn't tell you here..." Biana trailed off. Sophie sighed. Couldn't she ever have a moment of peace? Nevertheless, she nodded and pulled Keefe to his feet. But as she headed down the hill, holding hands with Keefe, even she, the most oblivious girl in the world, noticed the tension between her boyfriend and Fitz. Obviously, Fitz had not been pleased when she and Keefe got together, but she hadn't expected him to hold a grudge for this long. Sophie sighed yet again. This was going to be harder than she thought.
