As my alarm bleeped at the side of my bed I groaned loudly ignoring it by pulling my duvet covers over my head. Just as I was beginning to drift back into a nice sleep I heard a shout from down stairs.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH." I bolted out of my bed and flew down to the kitchen.
"What happened?" I asked my sister Rosie in a panic.
"Omg, omg omg," she screamed, "look over there." I turned around expecting a man with a gun or something slightly scary. Instead there was a spider about the size of a penny up the wall.
"Is that it Rosie? Is that what you were screaming at?" I was fuming at her for waking me up for something so pathetic.
"What do you mean is that it? GET IT OUT." I grabbed a glass from the cupboard then trapped the spider while sliding a piece of paper under the crack between the glass and wall so I didn't harm the spider as I moved it.
"Why don't you just squish it?" Rosie squealed at me.
"I'm not doing that! Just be thankful I'm not letting it loose on you. I mean really, I could have had another 15 minutes in bed before school if it wasn't for you. What are you doing up this early?"
"I have a photo shoot. Don't have a go at me Soph. I'm traumatised. Just give me a second to regain my composure." She was such a drama queen. I waited for a minute but she didn't seem to be in the mood to stop being so dramatic so I left her to get changed for school.
Once I was changed into my uniform and half way through my toast there was a knock at the front door. "Come in," I shouted but the door was already flung open by my best friend Sian. She looked as perfect as ever with her long blond hair and her flawless skin. I immediately smiled when I saw her. She always made me feel happy.
"Guess what?" she said while grabbing a piece of my toast.
"What?" I asked her laughing.
"Me and Ryan. You know Ryan from down the street. We kissed last night!" My initial reaction was a feeling of betrayal but I had no idea why. Ignoring my strange emotions I reacted how any other best friend would.
"OOOO, where? When? How did it all come about?" She launched into her story of how she'd fancied him for a while and last night he'd invited her out for chips and they'd ended up kissing . To me it didn't sound very romantic and I felt a bit narked that she'd been on the street without coming to see me. It must have been my protective best friend instincts taking over.
"So are you two like dating or what?" I asked, for some reason dreading the answer.
"No I'm gonna play it cool for a while. I don't wanna look too keen." She answered laughing. Relief swept over me.
"Are you OK?" she asked.
'No' I thought it my head. I had no idea where this jealousy had suddenly sparked from. All I knew is I didn't like the idea of Sian and Ryan.
"Yeah. I'm fine I answered quickly, just tired. Come on we'll be late for school."
As I shouted goodbye to Rosie I tried to rid the feeling that had lodged in the pit of my stomach.
But the feeling of jealousy was running way to deep.
