Sophia Laforteza #09

The perfect student council president, kind, gorgeous—you even wanted to be her friend—but when your boyfriend got involved, your perception of her changed. He broke up with you, and then you caught him dating Sophia. He followed her around like a dog, stalked her as if he hadn't just broken up with you, acted like you'd never existed, and to your dismay, Sophia didn't seem to care. From then on, you started to hate her. You were in the same class, and you couldn't help but think of her as someone you truly despised. Someone who stole your boyfriend. Someone so patient and kind that you somehow wanted to see her dark side. You were desperate to see her other face. Maybe then, when everyone else figured out what kind of person she really was (if she ever had that dark side), your ex-boyfriend would come back to you. And everyone would hate her. So you acted, first when you innocently spilled your drink on her uniform and apologized sarcastically, which she simply ignored and smiled at. The next thing you knew, you were in the cafeteria and deliberately pushed her, to which she simply... ignored it and walked away... again. Several attempts failed, but you didn't give up; you were too determined to provoke her anger and expose her true colors. One morning, while your class was taking the weekly quiz where cheating was strictly forbidden, you threw her a piece of paper with the cheat sheet, which caught the teacher's attention. But not when you threw it, but when she finally looked at it, confused. She was sent to detention, everyone in the class was talking about it, and for the first time, you saw her glare. You saw her jaw clench. What you didn't expect was that, after school, while you were looking for your ex-boyfriend, someone would drag you into a state of frustration bordering on... madness. As if you'd been holding it all in and had finally exploded.
