Whenever Mia felt that she liked a guy, even if it were the smallest of interest, she wouldn't be embarrassed to ask him out or flirt with him shamelessly. She was a confident girl, often described as promiscious, kissing boys at parties and holding their hands at school. Mia knew she was pretty — radiant skin, seductive smile, smoldering eyes ... yes, she was one of those girls.
One of those girls that screamed sex and lust and heartache and wander.
So when Mia liked a guy, that guy knew, and well ... at that moment, that guy's life becomes made. With a flick of her hair, a bat of her eyelashes, Mia was a girl to lust over. She was Emilia Khafari. One of those girls — the IT girls.
But this time ... well, this time, things were different. Mia was different. Her life was different ... and so was Matias. Mia didn't know where these feelings were coming from but she felt like there was more, so much more, and wanted to dive into him to dig it all out.
It was crazy that in the midst of all of this madness she could still think about things like boys. Something so simplistic and normal, which, for the past few weeks, her life hadn't been. Things were only getting more complicated now that Beverley was acting like a different person and Matias avoided her like a plague.
Things were definitely getting scary in the Beverley department. Her sick smile and frosty eyes only reminded Mia more of that night — and how strange she was acting, like a different person, and her sudden change of attitude shook Mia to the core.
Mia was seated in Lit class when Mr. Benson went on about science fiction, Jeffrey's seat remains empty — like everyone was waiting for him to show up midway in class, with a big 'Jokes on you!' grin on his face — and the eyes of both Renée and Beverley locked on Mia's back behind her. At least, that was what it felt like, and it made her awfully uneasy; a course of jitters taking over her body as she waited for the rest of the hour to be over.
Trying to pay attention to the actual topic, Mia fiddled with the Kate Spade bangles on her wrist, gifts from Louise. The first one was studded with glass stones, the other was clasped by a tiny little elephant, and Mia remembered the day she got them — it had been her eleventh birthday.
She had a family gathering at her house, with close family friends, so, naturally, Beverley was there with her parents. That day, Beverley's mom was calling her home earlier, told her she couldn't stay over at Mia's because she had an early appointment to the dentist in the morning — Beverley freaked.
