I saw the good
In all your bad

Sofia's POV

                I clear the shower steam off of the mirror, seeing my now clean face through the reflection.  Many people consider me a very beautiful person, but I don't. Even though I may have gotten my mothers gorgeous looks, she convinced me other wise. Always forcing me to wear all kinds of makeup as soon as I started high school, always telling me everything I should try and fix about myself.

I've grown up very insecure my whole life, her voice in the back of head every time I see a reflection of myself. 'Your face is fat, your body needs to be thinner if you ever want anyone to love you'

It all hurt. She tells me my eyes aren't the 'right kind of sparkling blue,green' like hers, or how my dirty blonde hair should be dyed a prettier colour. It sucks cause every time I see myself, I am completely repulsed by what I see.

I look to the floor in disgust. Picking up my bag, I pull out some comfy clothes to throw on Well we watch the movie. I don't know what time it is, but it definitely is late. It's going to be hard to go to school tomorrow, after staying up this late will make tomorrow morning feel like torture. But I will deal with that if it means that I get to actually watch a movie with someone else then just myself.

Slipping on my red plaid sweat pants, I decide to put my bra on. Seeing as though I'm going to be in a room with all boys except Lisa. After putting my bar on, I slid on my white spaghetti strap tank top.

I very quickly blow dry and brush through my naturally wavy hair, leaving it a little damp. Before leaving the bathroom, I grab a sweater out of my bag in case I get cold.

As I met the bottom step, I can already hear laughter coming from the living room. I walk down the hallway and into the living room, just in time to see Luke attempting to be a monkey. I laugh along with the others, as Charlie automatically gets the act right. His time just running out.

Charlie and the twins are sitting on the large couch, while Lisa and Christopher share a seat together. Lisa sitting in his lap. Luke's laying on the floor with a mountain of blankets and pillows around him. And lastly Sam sits on the love seat all by himself, arms crossed with his usual scowl.

His wondering eyes lock with mine, I quickly look away embarrassment as he caught me staring at him. In the corner of my eye I can a small smirk play on his lips, shaking his head and most likely laughing. "Princess"

I quickly glance over at Sam, recognizing his low mutter as the nickname he gave me. He gestures for me to come sit beside him, tapping the empty spot. Tucking my hair behind my ears I nervously walk over, sitting down as far away as possible from him. I hear him chuckle again.
