She slumped into her bed with her elbows propping her up, allowing her raven, black hair to flow freely behind her. It had been an exhausting full day of work and she hardly felt like talking. So, she barely slipped out a word as her best friend bubbled excitedly in front of her.
"How can you not be excited, Sel?" her friend asked with raised eyebrows. The girl in question rolled her eyes and sighed.
"It's a cool guest appearance, I guess," Selena mumbled. Her eyes slowly dropped as she stared nervously at her fingernails. Humbleness always seemed to be her major character flaw.
"So, they're going to use the episode on Hannah Montana as a promo for Wizards?" Demi questioned as her eyes glazed over the outfit in her hand. Her eyebrows crinkled as she focused on the combination of shirt, blouse, and boots she had picked out earlier. She had a date later in the evening.
"It looks fine," Selena, piped in. "And yes," she sighed, "they're hoping it would pull in ratings." Her mouth swallowed into a frown as she ruminated over the thought.
"What's so bad about that?" Demi came closer to the bed and sat cross-legged, facing her friend.
"Dem, I just don't want to get somewhere because of someone else," she looked pointedly at the Tiger Beat that was sprawled over their bed covers. Her black hair slipped across her face to hide the disappointment she was harboring from this whole situation.
The brunette, however, promptly picked up the magazine and smirked. "Miley Cyrus?" she scoffed throwing the magazine over to the black haired beauty.
Selena smiled sweetly. "What? Know thy enemy," she mumbled, flipping open the magazine.
"No, cause she's no competition for you, sweetheart," Demi smiled into her words. She used one finger to lift up her best friend's chin. "Come into your own. You can't always think you're falling in someone's shadow." Selena smiled lightly at her friend's comfort.
