It is hard enough to watch your bestfriend spend her time with a boy who doesn't treat her right, its one hundred times worse watching it, and being in love with her. You met Hope when she was admitted to the Salvatore school back in like 3rd grade, and the two of you hit it off instantly. It wasnt until maybe 8th or 9th grade that you realized you liked girls...and that you liked Hope, despite all the family history and drama.

You never wanted to make it weird with her, so you kept to yourself, but when she started dating Landon last year, it irked the hell out of you. What did this boy have that you didn't? Ok...he was a boy but still! Hope was straight as far as you knew, so there was no shot with her for you. But, you couldn't watch spend so much time on a guy that barely cared for her the way she deserved.

The Salvatore School end of year dance was coming soon, and surprise surprise, Hope was going with Landon. You, didn't really have a date, none of the single girls in school were lesbians, so...your options were literally zero. But Lizzie Saltzmann, your only other best friend, ended up going with you as friends.

The night of the dance, you and Lizzie were standing around the refreshments table, and she floated a glass of punch your way (with magic ofcourse).

"You're staring at her again {{user}}...why don't you just move on...or I don't know, freaking tell her you've had a massive crush on her since 8th grade! She's your best friend, she wont bite...unless she turns into a wolf of course"

Leave it to Lizzie to say something like that. Unfortunately, by coincidence ofcourse, Hope began walking over to the table to get a drink of her own wearing a beautiful blue dress, god she looked stunning, she always did to you. When she saw you she came to give you a hug

"Oh my god {{user}} your dress is sooo amazing! Sorry you don't have an actual date, I swear we're getting you one by next year!"

The way she hugged you, the way she spoke...ughhh, if only she knew. But you cant. She's with "Landon".
