this was the first one shot i wrote ever so don't be too hard on me.


{One Shot} Girl Next Door {Trace Cyrus}

Small town homecoming queen

Shes the star in this scene

There's no way to deny she's lovely

Perfect skin perfect hair

Perfumed hearts everywhere

Tell myself that inside she's ugly

Maybe I'm just jealous

I can't help but hate her

Secretly I wonder if my boyfriend wants to date her


Her name was Tara, and I always felt as if I had to compete with her for my boyfriend, Trace's, attention.

"Sophie you don't have to worry about it he's with you isn't he?" My best friend Mason says trying to get me to forget her.

"Yeah for about 2 out of the 7 hours he's aloud out. The other 5 hours he's with her." I say tears starting to well up. "How am I supposed to compete with her, mason? She's the fucking homecoming queen. I'm just some girl he lives next to."

"Sophie he loves you!"

"Sometimes I wonder if he just wants her and not me."


She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band

She is a cheerleader I'm sittin in the stands

She gets the top bunk I'm sleepin on the floor

Shes Miss America and I'm just the girl next door


"Hey babe after practice today maybe we can go see a movie or something like that." I say kissing him on the cheek.

"Yeah sure Sophie." He says a little out of it.

"Yeah…okay so band practice gets over at five, can you meet me at the theater at five thirty?"

"Yeah 5:30 got it." He says I look where he's looking and I see Tara Waving at him. He waves back so I get up and stomp to chemistry.


Senior class president

She must be heaven sent

She was never the last one standing

A backseat debutant

Everything that you want

Never to harsh or too demanding

Maybe I'll admit it

I'm a little bitter

Everybody loves her but I just wanna hit her


"You'll have to talk with the senior class president for that." Mr. Jones says

"Oh okay do you know where I can find them?"

"Student counsel is having a meeting in the library you can probably find her there."

"Thanks." I say jogging to the library. I get there and ask the junior class president, Lee who the senior class president was. He points over to a table where a girl was working on something. I walk over to her and she picks her head up.

"No fucking way is she like heaven sent or something?" I growl. I walk up to Tara.

"Can I help you with something?" she asks with genuine concern.

"Yeah I was told to give you this." I say handing her the note. She takes it and reads it.

"Oh goodie!" she says with excitement. "Tell Mrs. Curtis I can't wait."

"Okay." I say walking back, trying not to punch her in her face.


She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band

Oh and I'm just the girl next door


The football game was that week; I sat in the stands with Trace, Blake, Anthony and Mason. Trace had been paying more attention to me up until the Cheerleaders came up into the stands for break. Then his attention was on Tara. I looked at her then to him.

"Trace." I say no answer. I say his name three more times then I run to the car and start crying. The tears fell and fell with no stopping them. I was shaking and crying when I heard voices outside the car.

"Sophie, come on let us in." Mason says from outside the car.

"GO AWAY!" I yell.

"Just finish watching the game with me please. It won't feel right you not being with me." he pouts. I get out and walk to the stands. I pass Trace and Tara who were in deep in conversation. I wipe a tear away and sit by Mason.

"SOPHIE!" my ex-boyfriend Mark says walking over to me.

"MARK! OMG you're back!" I squeal hugging him. He moved to California hence why we broke up.

"Yeah mom got tired of Cali!" he says kissing me on my cheek. "Wanna walk with me to get some fries I'm starving for some of the fries."

"Hell yeah we have to catch up!" I exclaim. We walk past Trace and Tara.

"So Mark how was Cali anyway?" I ask as we pass.

"It was awesome. Mom didn't think so though. Mike got into some bad drugs and went to rehab twice. So we moved back which is so awesome because I've missed the hell out of you."

"I've missed you too!" I say as we get in line. My phone goes off.

~Trace is heading your way looks like he's pissed! *Anthony$%&*~

~thanks! *Sophie-n-Trace*~

"Sophie can I talk to you real quick." Trace says. Mark turns to him.

"Trace this is Mark. Mark this is my boyfriend Trace." I say.

"Hi." Mark says sticking out his hand for Trace to shake it. Trace looks at it in disgust.

"I really need to talk to Sophie sorry." He says pulling me with him.

"Why do you wanna talk now you never wanted to talk before?!" I ask him once we get to the car.

"What the hell do you mean?" he asks

"Are you cheating on me with Tara?!" I ask looking at him. He looks up at me shock.

"Why the hell would you think that?"


I don't know why I'm feelin sorry for myself

I spend all my time wishin that I was someone else


"Because you spend practically every waking hour with her!" I say the tears freely falling again. "Trace how am I supposed to compete with Tara? She's the god forsaken homecoming queen slash senior class president. And I'm pretty sure she's going to be prom queen. I'm just the girl next door, your average Jane, your typical LOSER!"

I collapse on the ground crying my eyes out.


She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band

She is a cheerleader I'm sittin in the stands

I get A little bit she gets a little more

Shes Miss America and... She's Miss America


"Sophie you don't have to compete with her. She's going though a lot and my mom is helping her though it. she wanted me to keep an eye on her."

"So you give up spending time with your girlfriend, Trace she's perfect. If you left me for her I'd understand." I say.

"Sophie. You're not just the girl next door. I love you. Not her, you Sophie Marie you!" he says kissing me.

"But all that not paying attention to me was just………"

"It was the only thing my mom told me to do and I didn't want to let her down I'm sorry."

"Sorry won't cut it Trace. You've ignored me. You blew me off last Thursday. You have to say more than just sorry to make this up."

"Baby, tell me what to do. I love you too much to lose you."

"You can start by……well I don't know how we're going to fix this." I say finally realizing.

"What do you mean?" he says tears welling up in his eyes.

"I don't know trace." I say, "I don't know. Start over maybe?"

"Huh?"

"Start over, Trace." I say

"Pretend we just started dating?" he says smiling

"Before all this Tara stuff started, before my jealously took over me. Before Mark came back."

"That I can do." He says kissing me.

I'm just the girl next door...
