CHAPTER TEN:

My Admiral

Sophie's PoV:

I stretched out lavishly in my bed under the big chocolate coloured comforter. My sheets were a really light brown so it all blended nicely; it looked so classy and I am definitely full of class, obviously the upper crust of classiness here.

I sat there mocking myself for a bit, don't really know why, it was just some silly habit I have. I think it stems from my friend back in Cali, Allison, she was the best.

We had the most ridiculous sense of humour when we were together. Our jokes were only funny to us, no one else really understood, we basically spoke another language.

I always called her my 'Admiral'; that rooted from the store I used to manage back in Cali, she worked for me and wanted to beef up her resume with some kind of title so we decided she was the 'Admiral' of the store. It was 'one step below management' as we described it.

I figure I should probably send my Admiral a text or two, let her know what's been up and see how she's doin', I really missed her.

I pulled out my phone and scrawled out a message.

Sophie: Sup All-Star?!

I also called her 'All-Star', play off of Allison.

Allison: Tumbleweed! What's the deal on Forks? How're you likin' it?

Sophie: Ah y'know, it's full of forks, as I expected. :P

Allison: Haha well I'm glad it's lived up to all your intelligently thought out expectations!

Sophie: Oh no doubt haha how's Cali goin'? I miss the heat, we've had ONE day of sun so far. It's always cold and rainy.

Allison: Ah that blows! Cali's been good though, hot. :P Haha Hollis is having a big 'Hobos and Crackwhores' costume party tonight, wish you were able to come

Sophie: Fuck! Me too! The last one was fantastic! Haha I spent the last half of it passed out in a plant pot out front!

Allison: Hah! I remember that! Such class haha and Liam ended up almost blowing up the barbeque on the deck too haha

(Authors Note: True story, happened to me. It's an embarrassing life I lead :P)

Sophie: Ahhh good times, I'll wrap all my drinks in brown paper bags tonight to pay homage to that night haha

Allison: You'd better! And I'll take a round of shots in your honour!

Sophie: Perfect! So how're you and Brad goin'? Are there any more issues there?

Brad is her boyfriend of three years, recently they've been having some problems though, I don't think the spark is as strong as it was anymore. Sad really, they were so good together.

Allison: Yeah, just the same bullshit really but whatever, what's been goin' on over there? Any hotties?

Sophie: Haha well I've been kinda seeing this guy, Quil, and he's pretty nice and stuff and like, I dunno though, it's awful but I think I like his friend, Jake, better than him. I feel like such a bitch

Allison: Awe no, don't feel like a bitch, it happens y'know. Do what makes you happy though, hang out with Jake a bit! See if you actually do like him before you flip the coin y'know?

Sophie: Yeah good call, aw I miss you

Allison: I miss you too! You have to come back and visit!

Sophie: Uhm, woah, you should come here and visit ME haha

Allison: Haha oh I will, don't even fret. Just gotta get the money for the plane ticket first haha Oh, hey, speaking of makin' money, my break's over haha talk t'you later Lovee!

Sophie: Lame! Kay, love you! Talk t'you later. Hey, message me after work k!

Allison: You bet love you too! Bye!

I put my phone back down onto the bed beside me and sighed.

I see what she means by hanging out with Jake first before I potentially ruin things with Quil though, but that being said, I was really leaning towards Jake; he's the one that rushed to my side when he thought there was danger, Quil simply hung back with Paul.

You'd think the guy who could potentially be my boyfriend would want to run to me to protect me.

It's the whole damsel in distress kind of situation, the prince should run to the princess at which point she falls in love with her hero, her knight in shining armour; but Quil did nothing.

Maybe Jake is my knight in shining armour? I sighed and shook it out of my head. Shutting my eyes tight, I pulled my arms out over my head and stretched my legs as hard as I could.

I should probably just get up now; it's about time I accomplished something.
