Two ◈ The Family Dinner

"Can I talk to you about something?"

Sophie glanced up from her sisters diary and spotted Allison standing at the door. Pursing her lips into a smile Sophie placed the diary face down onto her desk and patted her bed. She'd been reading her favourite entry by her sister so she was in a good mood. The entries in which she had a good day always calmed her down. It was a sort of reminder that things cannot always be bad.

"Sure." Sophie said just as Allison sat crossed legged on the bed opposite her. "But just so you know if you're looking for a girly talk I'm probably not your best bet."

"I am looking for a girly talk ... and you're the only person I can trust."

"Trust?" Sophie laughed. "We've barely known each other a day. I am starting to worry for your safety, Allison, if you trust people so easily."

Allison rolled her eyes playfully, "So what I'm hearing is that you're untrustworthy?" She teased.

"I didn't say that."

"Either way I believe people should be given the opportunity to show the goodness inside of them."

Sophie pursed her lips, "You're a good person, Allison. The world needs more people like you."

So many people lie, keep secrets and are just genuinely horrible people to be around. Sophie may not have had friends but she knew how to judge characters. She also knew how to get by on her own. If she thought somebody she associated herself with wasn't a good person then that'd be it, friendship over. Boy did it make Sophie happy that Allison was one of the most open and kind people she'd ever met.

Allison grinned before clapping a few times, "Lydia explained what kind of taste I have to give Scott."

"And?"

"Well," she said before sighing quietly. "I need a condom."

"Kate - or mom - will have one."

That sent the two girls on their adventure. While they were sneaking into Kate's uninhabited room Sophie noticed that Allison had reapplied her makeup. She really did like Scott and those two already seemed adorable together. Someday Sophie hoped to have a cute relationship with somebody who loved her as much as Scott clearly loved Allison. Sophie wanted that so badly but it would have to wait.

A smirk rose on Sophie's face when she pulled one out of one of Kate's many bags. Allison gently snatched it off her and began jumping up and down like a little kid. Sophie couldn't help but laugh at how excited she was because it was not how Sophie expected her to be.

But the noise they were making was obviously a bit too much as Kate walked in. Frantically Allison began to play hot potato with the condom. Luckily she had Sophie to distract Kate by asking her if she could borrow a top and leading her mom towards the wardrobe. When Allison gave Sophie the thumbs up and mouthed 'the package is secure' Sophie tried to not laugh as she picked up on of Kate's tops.

"This'll do. Thank you mom, Allison and I will be on our way."

Kate rose an eyebrow at the two giddy girls who skipped out of her room, "Okay, stay safe."

"Don't worry," Sophie laughed under her breath. "You will, won't you Allison?"

The door bell signalled around the house and Allison's face lit up even more if that was even possible. A slight push from Sophie sent her running down the stairs. Intrigued to see how this would play out considering Allison was in a very weird mood, Sophie stayed at the landing resting against the banister. Seconds before Allison opened the door she flicked her hair about as if to give it volume before trying to casually yet formally open the front door. Sophie couldn't help but laugh at her.
