  Sophia.Lily had always been my best friend for years and years as you most probably know already but my god, I've never laughed so hard and much like this with her or with any one of my other friends.My stomach hurts so much that my hands are barely clutching onto it to ease the pain and my eyes have tears falling and rolling down my face. I probably look like a clown right now but I honestly couldn't care a damn about that when everything hurts from laughing too much.“You are crazy.” I finally wheeze out, barely able to breathe.King moves away from me, a smug and very proud smirk on his face. “Definitely.” He says as if he did not just tell me a lame joke that had us both cracking up.It takes us minutes to finally calm down, no heavy breathing, and no rapid heart racing. Everything is cool and comfortable for a long moment

  Sophia.The sunlight that beams into the room, directly striking my face is what has me fully awakening— well that and the fact that someone is gently caressing my face.“Good morning, beautiful.” King murmurs as soon as my eyes flicker open and connect with his ones.I lazily smile up at him, god waking up to such beauty has my heart fluttering in my chest, and he is quick to return the gesture before leaning down to kiss my forehead, at this, I blush and turn away. “Good morning.” I look back at him and frown. “Why are you up so early?” I ask as I push myself to sit up and lean against the headboard.His eyes hold amusement while watching me and his lips lightly lift upwards into a cheesy grin. “It's around ten.” He slowly says and shrugs, staring at me.“But Lily was meant t—”“I

  Sophia.The wind blows and the sky glows.Its coloration is bright and beautiful, a deadly combination because it always seems to have everyone hooked, it is beautiful and somehow sunsets and sunrises always seem to bring me a certain calmness.And this sunset is not different from that factor, the only difference is that this has to be one of the most beautiful sunsets I had lied my eyes on.Maybe it's because I'm in an unknown island or maybe it's because finally, I've gotten my best friends to watch the sunset with me or maybe it's because I'm surrounded by a thousand strangers, in an unknown island, with all this beauty surrounding me but in my mind there is one person I wish to have been with, watching this sunset.We arrived in Santorini late last night and awake early this morning, Lily's brilliant idea to explore the city has us, Jake and I, t

  Sophia.I've never told anyone about my mother's death, the depth of it, only the closest people to me knew what went wrong so when I told Lily that I spilled the news to King, to say she was shocked would be an understatement.“You're finally growing and letting go. I'm so proud of you!” She squealed in my ear before running off.I wanted to tell her that she should stop doing that, squealing in my ear like a mad man, I mean, I might lose my eardrums because of it but I knew she wouldn't listen. She's much too of an excited chap to think about it when she is excited and maybe I secretly like that about her.“Are you going to get on the plane or do I have to really shove you up these stairs this time?” King snickers from behind me, I roll my eyes at his question and shake my head with a small smile playing on my lips.Lily's voice sh

  Sophia.“She keeps calling, maybe you should just answer and get it over with?” Lily says again, she's a bit sober now, and I groan because a sober best friend is a right best friend. “Or text her, tell her you're busy or something.” She adds.I nod my head and reach for my phone, I answer accept and start walking towards the car park for more privacy since it's most likely going to be deserted, considering the lake is almost too crowded right now, and my corrections are absolutely right when I find the place empty, not a living person in sight, well besides myself.“Roxanne?” I say into the phone that awaits my doom of an aunt who won't leave me alone! “I was asleep, what do you want?” I ask when she doesn't respond.“Ah, Sophia, how are you doing? I would say I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep but from the bac

  Sophia.My mouth is gaping and my eyes widen into huge saucers, I stare at him in utter shock and I feel something inside of me tighten.“W—what?” I mumble.I stare down at the hard ground, my eyebrows furrowing and my heart racing as my mind starts playing of different scenes and then I scoff, of course, this is what this whole thing is, how can I be stupid? To even think that a guy like him would even remotely like a girl like me.“Okay,” I say, breathing out deeply.I quickly move my hands away from his and stand up, dusting myself off and moving away from him. I stare down at the path we just walked up and sigh.“What are you doing?” His voice stops me when I start to trek down the long pathway but I ignore him, I focus on the trees around and while silently forcing myself not to cry.
