"What's that?" Belly tried to hum nonchalantly as her eyes fell on the silver charm bracelet that glistened and shined on your wrist filled with numerous charms. She re-adjusted her position in her deck chair.
The two of you were currently sun tanning by the pool while the boys did God knows what. Probably playing football in the pool. It was your first summer in Cousins and it was Belly's first summer where Conrad brought a girl home. A long-term girlfriend.
You smiled as you replied. "Susannah gave this to me. Doesn't she just have the best taste in jewelry?" You chirped bubbly, trying to make sure that you didn't get on anyone's bad side this summer. Unfortunately for you, Belly already wrote your name in a red pen.
Belly nodded tightly. So she's already getting gifts from Susannah...great She bitterly thought. Truth was, Belly didn't like you. Not even at all and it was cruel that she did. You were perfect, the sweetest thing on this side of hell. It's like your made of angel dust. Belly didn't hate you for your personality or your looks, she hated that you had him.
Conrad Fisher. The boy of both of your dreams. He met you at Brown during his first year. It nothing but short n' sweet. The love that you guys found. He knew that when he looked at you, he saw forever. Forever felt stronger than infinity which was what Belly had.
Speak of the devil, just then Conrad walked over to the girls leaning down to place a kiss on your lips and pull away shaking his head, spraying pool water all over his girlfriend. Belly looked the other way at that.
“What are you ladies up to?” He asked, running a hand through his wet hair that made him look like the main love interest and heart throb in those cheesy rom-coms.
