HELLOOO! Welcome to my first FanFiction on. My name is Malayna and if you want to know more about me, check out my profile.

I'm a teen. Please don't judge my writing. I do know that sometimes I make a ton of mistakes or that I write really cheesy lines. Thank you for pointing that out to me in a nice way. But there is no need to be rude or hate on mine or anybody else's writing out there. It takes a lot of bravery to put this on the internet for anybody who comes across it to read.

Please also note that this is NOT an example of my best writing. I honestly write this for fun and I don't honestly try as hard as I would on a novel or an essay for school. I'm widely known around my school and personal life as being a good writer, but this is not a good example of it.

Also, please go check out my original story, My Best Friend's Lover, which can be found on Wattpad

ALSO THIS IS THE UPDATED VERSION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN WITH ME SINCE THE START (LAST YEAR)

Sunrise. Sophie had always loved the sunrise. When the sun rose, it had a nice feel to it—so warm and glowy. It was the only time Sophie felt really beautiful, what with her hair glowing and her eyes brightening as she squinted to face the sun. She almost never felt beautiful, despite what all of her friends—especially Keefe—said about her looks. They obviously had no common knowledge about girls' looks, because according to Vertina, Sophie's mirror friend/annoying comrade, Sophie always looked like she had walked into a tornado, and then suffered through a shower of volcanic ash. Sophie knew it was true, if not as extreme, but she still liked to listen to Keefe's rants about her hair a lot more than Vertina's sassy criticism. Who wouldn't?

Sophie watched as the sun started to rise more and more until finally, it was at the top of the sky, which was still purple from the day's earlier awakening. Sophie decided to get an early start on her day since she was already up much earlier than usual. Sophie ran to the bathroom, showered quickly, got dressed, ran a comb through her blonde hair, and ran downstairs where Edaline was already making breakfast. Since it was Sophie's sixteenth birthday, Edaline had promised to make dessert for breakfast today, so custard bursts and mallowmelt were already laid out on the table. To Sophie's delight, Edaline allowed Iggy to sit with her at the table, despite his natural stinky smell. Iggy happily perched on a napkin next to her plate as he squeaked with happiness.

Sophie had to admit, though it gave her a pang to say so every time: Iggy was old, and his natural fur had turned silver with streaks of white in its natural state, but as always, Dex had done his magic again. This month, Iggy's hair was neon green with streaks of dark purple; definitely rock star colors. Iggy was so happy to sit at the table that he almost ripped up Sophie's favorite shoes (he had not chewed up anything for the past eight months, much to the relief of Edaline and Sophie). Sophie successfully got her shoes back and, knowing she shouldn't, fed Iggy a piece of custard burst. He sighed in delight.

Three minutes after breakfast was over, the doorbell rang. A thrill went through Sophie. Today was her birthday and her friends were coming over to celebrate. The Council had begrudgingly decided to also celebrate Sophie's sixteenth, because, despite the fact that elves don't celebrate birthdays, Sophie's was special, seeing as it was her sweet sixteen AND she was used to it. Sophie jumped up, guessing as to which friend was at the door. Her secret hope was for Fitz, but it was probably Dex. She bounded to the door and opened it excitedly.

Keefe was standing outside, his signature blond hair sticking up in the strangest places, and a small hastily-wrapped gift in his hand. He smirked and said, "Hey, Foster? Where's the cake? Your man is hungry!" He patted his stomach for emphasis. "Oh, and happy birthday!" Sophie opened her mouth to say thanks when Keefe added, "To me!" Sophie giggled and playfully slapped Keefe while responding,

"Oh of course! Come in! I have mallowmelt and custard bursts! Which one would you like?"

Keefe didn't reply, but instead bounded into the kitchen and hugged Edaline, who mussed his hair playfully. Keefe's hands subconsciously reached up to his head and patted his messy knot of curls down again until they were in his signature messy look. He served himself a dollop of mallowmelt on a plate and ate it up quickly. He took a second serving and ate it just as fast, if not faster. Then he put his arm around Sophie's shoulders and said,

"So, Foster? Are you going to let me into your room, or do I have to invite myself?" Keefe smirked at her, obviously shameless.

Sophie blushed, but she led him upstairs, much to the knowing eyes of Edaline. At that moment, Grady came out, took one look at Keefe, and yelled, "Keep the door open!" much to Sophie's embarrassment. She trusted Keefe, and he had been in her room dozens of times. She sat on her bed and ran her fingers through her hair. Then she started to pick at her nails.

Awkward.

Luckily, Keefe was never one for an awkward silence. He cleared his throat. "So, Foster. How's life been? Have I missed any cool explosions? Have you saved the world again?" He lowered his voice. "Did you almost die again?"

"Nope. Thankfully." Sophie grinned, but then blushed again as she realized how weird that must've sounded. Who knew how boys thought? Maybe they thought everything was stupid. "Just as normal as it can be around here. If that's possible. To be normal, I mean." She looked around the room, suddenly self-conscious at the childish things in her room, including Ella, her stuffed elephant. She avoided looking at Keefe as she asked, "So, what do you want to do?"

"When is everyone else coming?" Keefe asked suddenly. He got to his feet again and started snooping around, looking at Sophie's various bedroom items, much to her mortification.

"Umm, Fitz and Biana should be getting here any time now, and Dex is coming after noon since he has to help his dad at Slurps and Burps. Oh, and Tam and Linh are coming with the Vackers. Why?" Sophie was worried that he was bored of her already.

"Well, I was hoping to play Base Quest. On your team, of course," Keefe said nonchalantly.

"Oh, well, okay then." At that moment, the doorbell rang. Sophie jumped up from the bed. "That must be Fitz! Oh, and Biana. And Tam and Linh too!" She was so excited to get out of the awkwardness that she started to run, but Keefe caught her at her bedroom door. He smirked again, but there was a small ounce of hurt in his eyes that she was so excited.

"I hope you were this excited to see me when I came, Foster. Oh, and here is your gift. I forgot to give it to you before." He held out the small wrapped gift with a green bow.

Sophie did feel kind of bad but she wanted to talk to Biana and Tam and Linh... and Fitz. "Thanks, Keefe, but now is really not the time! I'll open it later, I promise." Sophie tossed it onto her bed. She must've overestimated her strength because it fell off and hit the ground on the other side.

Keefe's eyes held a lot more than an ounce of hurt now, but Sophie either didn't notice or pretended not to care as she ran out the door and bounded down the stairs. Keefe trudged after her, his obvious hurt not matching Sophie's exuberance.

Grady was already at the door, and he was hugging each of the Vackers and Songs. Sophie yelled, "Hey guys!"

A loud chorus of "Happy Birthdays" came from the door, but it didn't quite reach Sophie's ears as she looked into Fitz's impossibly teal eyes. Those eyes always continued to make her swoon, even after four years of looking at them.

Fitz caught her staring, and gave her a small wave. He smiled a little and Sophie turned red and looked away, smoothing down her cape and hair. She walked down the stairs and hugged everyone. She received all of the gifts graciously, but she made sure to handle Fitz's gift with lots of care. It was rather large, and Sophie hoped it was a lot better than the Riddler she had received like everyone else from Second Year at Foxfire.

Biana hugged her best friend and took one look at Sophie and said, "Gosh, girl, you need a makeover! Come on, it's your birthday! It's your time to shine!"

Sophie groaned inwardly and took Biana's gift, which was very large and oddly shaped. Sophie suspected it was a makeup kit or hair dye, or some girly thing that she would probably regift, though she would never admit it. Sophie said, "Hey guys! Come up to my room!"

Grady looked at Sophie and said once more, "Leave the door open!"

Sophie looked at her dad, annoyed at the repetition, and said, "Oh my gosh, Dad. Do you really think I'm that untrustworthy? These are my best friends! We're just going to open my gifts, thanks, by the way, guys, and then play Base Quest!"

Tam looked at Sophie and handed her a gift. "It's from me and Linh. And don't worry about anything, Mr. Ruewen. I'll make sure nothing happens up there." Tam looked sharply at Keefe, who held up his hands in an innocent gesture, a grin forming on his face. Grady smiled at Keefe with a look of fond adoration in his eyes. Sophie broke the moment by interrupting.

"Come on, guys." Sophie led the way up to her room and opened the door. There, she left it slightly ajar, ever obedient, and sat on her fuzzy rug, which had been a gift from Biana when she had been going through her room decor phase. "OK, let's look at these gifts! Or should we wait for Dex?"

Everyone yelled, "NO" at the same time, and Sophie laughed. "You guys are so impatient! But okay." She wanted to know what half of them were too. She grabbed the first gift, which was from Tam and Linh. She tore open the paper and said, "Awww, you guys! You didn't have to!" Inside was an entire box of Prattles and pins, encased in a waterbed that had to have been made by Linh. "I love it!" Linh smiled at Sophie and Tam said, "It's for a friend. Why not?"

"Ooh, open mine next!" Biana squealed as she tossed her gift to Sophie, who dropped it, seeing as how clumsy she was. When she caught Fitz laughing at her, her cheeks flamed up and she playfully shoved him. Keefe turned away but Sophie managed to catch a glimpse of his eyes. So she stood and sat next to Keefe, whose smile widened. Sophie turned her attention back to the gift, which was indeed a makeup kit. It had every color for every single part of your face possible and Sophie had to admit, it wasn't something to give away. It must've cost a fortune, although elves had loads of money, unlike many humans.

Then she saw the big box in the center. "OK, Fitz's turn!" Sophie tore open the wrapping paper eagerly and took out a box of...
