Harry and Selena had been best friends for as long as they could remember. They had met in middle school and had been attached at the hip ever since. They were now in their freshman year at college (of course attending the same university) and they were as close as ever.
Harry was a frat boy, but he always hung out with Selena, whose idea of fun was eating pizza and watching movies rather than getting drunk. She was, after all, his special girl. Harry had a reputation on campus, although not nearly as bad as the other boys he chose to hang out with. Selena's reputation was more of a good girl, which caused everyone to question them. How could a good girl like her hang out with a guy like him?
But things had slowly begun to change once Harry got a girlfriend. Her name was Samantha, and Selena couldn't stand her. Some time ago, Selena had come to terms with the fact that she was in love with Harry. Despite how close they were, she never felt adequate enough to be his girlfriend, so she never made a move. But this Samantha? She had bad news written all over her.
She was an older sorority girl, with DD breasts and long blonde hair. She was tall, almost as tall as Harry, standing at 5'10. Her legs were mile long and toned, much like the rest of her body. She had an exotic look to her and Selena found out, to her dismay, that she was of Brazilian and Vietnamese descent. She didn't stand a chance.
It didn't surprise her when she began to see less and less of Harry, but that didn't stop her from being sad, and a bit frustrated. Who was this girl to take her best friend from her? She wanted to rip the extensions off the girl and send her packing back to Brazil or Asia or wherever.
One Friday night, she was alone again in her dorm room, watching reruns of Friends. It was her favorite show and she never got tired of it. Her roommate, Danielle, was getting ready to leave for a big party at one of the fraternity houses.
"Are you sure you don't wanna come?" She asked again, even as she grabbed her clutch, signaling she was ready to leave.
"I'm positive. I'd rather sit here, watching Friends and eating ice cream, than being at some party surrounded by drunks and sluts. No offence." She grinned at the older girl, who laughed as she shook her head.
"Suit yourself. But I'm telling you, moping around in here isn't going to do you any good." Danielle shook her head as she headed for the door. "Don't wait up, hopefully I won't be back tonight."
"You are so bad," Selena said with a laugh as Danielle winked at her, shutting the door behind her.
Selena sighed as she realized, once again, she was all alone. She set her pint of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey down on her nightstand as she sat up in bed. Maybe Danielle was right, maybe she should get out more. Maybe she'd meet a nice guy, one who'd see her for her, one who didn't like exotic girls with big breasts. Maybe.
She heard a soft, double knock on her door and she shouted for whoever it was to come in. She figured it was Danielle, who forgot her key on a daily basis. Her eyes widened in surprise when she didn't see her roommate, but a tall male in her place. Harry.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" She asked, running her fingers self-consciously through her wavy black tresses.
"I came to see my best friend," he informed her as he shut the door behind him, sitting in front of her. "Is that a crime?"
"No, I just...it's been a while." Regaining her voice, she added coolly. "Plus, there's a huge party tonight. I figured you'd be there with Samantha."
"Nah, I had to come see my favorite girl. It's been a while, you know? I missed you." He smiled that familiar crooked smile and it made her wonder how she could've ever thought about finding a better guy. There was no better guy.
"It has. I missed you too." She blushed as she added hastily, "how's Samantha? Are you guys...okay?"
"Oh yeah, Sam's great," he assured her with a dismissive wave of his hand. "But I didn't come here to talk about her; I came here to be with you. How are you?"
"I'm okay. As good as a girl who gets ditched by her best friend could be." She had meant it to sound more playful than it did, but she was hurt. She didn't expect him to understand, though.
"Selena..." He immediately softened as he laid beside her, turning on his side so they can look each other in the eye. "I'm sorry, okay? I've just been busy, which is no excuse. I'm never too busy for you."
"Is that why I've been best friendless for the past two weeks?" She asked sarcastically and he bit his lip, guilt heavily weighing him down.
"I already said I was sorry, what more can I say?" He asked and she turned the other way.
"Nothing, just go. I'm sure there's some blonde waiting for your attention." Her sniffling got his attention and he moved closer to her, his arm wrapped around her waist.
"It's not like that, okay? I love you; you're very special to me..."
"Maybe if I had big breasts and looked like a Victoria's Secret model you'd be into me, but I get that you're not. I'm no sorority girl." She had turned back over to look at him, big brown eyes glossy, and his mossy greens widened in surprise.
"Is that really what you think about yourself?" He asked her, and when she nodded, he shook his head.
"Selena," he began carefully, taking her hand in his. "When I see you, I see the most beautiful girl in the world. Okay, so you don't have huge tits. Big deal. You have a nice body and an even nicer face. You aren't ugly, and you could be a sorority girl if you wanted to be. Okay?"
She looked up into his eyes, nodding slowly as she whispered, "okay."
