Friends to Lovers

Sara Sidle walked up to her high school annoyed and praying to just get through the first day of her last year without any problems. She hated this damn school and wished she was back home in Cali where she had friends. She didn't wanna be in Vegas anymore. She walked up the steps and sat on the wall waiting for the doors to be opened so she can go to her first class.

I just wanna get through this damn day and go home to my room.

The rest of the school started to gather around the front and Sara tried to make herself as invisible as possible. Watching people that she had grown to hate gathering around her she looked around for anyone she could talk to. That's when she saw her. Her red hair tied back her bright smile and her perfect body encased in a tight t-shirt hugging her perfect breasts and a pair of jeans that hugged her perfect ass. Catherine Ferrara. Sara watched her walk passed and she smiled at her and Catherine smiled back but didn't stop to talk. As she moved passed Sara felt something hard hit her back. She ignored it knowing if she turned around the scene of the guys laughing and pointing at her would just infuriate and frustrate her. Sara got teased mercilessly about being gay and the fact that she was attracted to Catherine didn't make it any better. She never talked to Catherine but she was nice to her. Catherine never teased her or made her feel like an outsider.

Catherine was nice to everyone. She smiled at everyone or waved. She never threw things at people or turned anyone away with a laugh that tried to talk to her. She was perfect. She had a perfect body, perfect smile perfect complexion perfect personality. She was nice to everyone and stood up for those being teased whether they were their friends or not. Sara snapped out of her thoughts when the bell rang. She walked toward the front doors and weaved her way through the halls to get to her class room. She took a seat in the back like she always did and waited to see who was in the class. Catherine walked in the room and sat infront of Sara. She turned to her and smiled.

"You're Sara right?"

Sara nodded.

"Hi I'm. . ."

"Catherine Ferrara. Everyone knows you."

Catherine smiled and Sara's heart skipped.

"I am sorry I never spoke to you before now you just seem to ever wanna be alone."

"It's ok your reputation would be ruined if you were seen talking to me."

Catherine furrowed her eyes and Sara looked back down at her notebook and the bell rang before Catherine could respond. Sara was excited that Catherine was in her class; as a matter of fact she was in all her classes except science. She was looking forward to the rest of the year.

~December~

Catherine started to talk to Sara on a daily bases and they became friends. This made the other kids leave her alone. Catherine even invited her to the Holiday show that she and her friends would be singing at. Sara jumped at the chance. When she got home she was all smiles until she saw her mother.

"Mom are you ok?"

"What the hell are you smiling about you little shit and do I look alright to you?"

Sara stepped out of her mother's reach knowing she would swing at her if she could.

"I asked you a question girl."

"I got invited to see a friend perform at the holiday show tonight."

"You aren't going anywhere. Get your ass upstairs and do your homework and then get your ass cleaning those rooms."

Sara rolled her eyes and went to her room. She jumped in the shower and pulled clothes out for the show tonight. It wouldn't be the first time she snuck out of her house to do what she wanted. Her parents' vices became like a clock for her. Her step dad would be home at 5 they would have he and her mom would have an argument her dad would slap her around and then go out to get drunk around 530 and her mother would turn to her bottle around 6 and be passed out at 630. She had plenty of time to get out if her step dad decided not to come upstairs and slap her around too.
