"What?"
"You don't have to look quite so surprised, Elphie"
"Ok, I'm now officially confused. Does this come before or after you call me a freak behind my back and hide my stuff?"
"What are you talking about? I never hid your stuff!"
"No, but I overheard Shenshen and Milla plotting something earlier..."
"Then they are in some SERIOUS trouble next time I see them... but I wasn't making it up, you know. I promise!"
"Wellll..."
"Elphie!"
"You...really think of me as your closest friend?"
"Elphie, I'm pretty sure you're my ONLY friend"
"Um. Right."
"Elphie, I'm pretty, right?"
"You're not unattractive..."
"Whatever. And i have money"
"Uh-huh"
I paused. I'd been thinking this before, more and more often over the last few days...but this was the first time I'd ever put it into words.
"Elphie, do you really think any of those people would even bother to LOOK at me if I wasn't?"
And it hurt.
"They don't care about ME, they barely know anything about me! They'll stay until my looks fade, or my money runs out, or they find someone better, whatever comes first. And then you'll see just how many friends I have left..."
But it was the truth.
"You're the only person here whose different! Whether you consider me a friend or not, at least I know that's really how you feel, and that its not just an act! I'd rather hear you say something sarcastic than listen to a room of people tell me I'm wonderful...knowing if I make a single mistake, they'll ditch me without a thought...because at least when I'm around you I can be myself! Even if you don't like me AT ALL, I'd rather hang out here with you than go out with them because I'm SICK of being around people who can't think for themselves!"
I think it was the longest speech I'd ever made in my life. It was also the only time I'd ever REALLY put myself out there.
If you were going to ditch me or say something cruel, you'd never have had a better moment.
"Glinda..."
"Yeah?"
"Would you be interested to know that I'd rather talk to you here than listen to a room of people tell me they hate me?"
I smiled.
"I always knew you had a mind of your own. Congratulations for discovering it yourself...I'd say you were the only real friend I've ever had, but let's not state the obvious."
"Really?"
"You're the only person who ever thought there was more to me than what was on the surface...or took the time to find out."
"And I could say exactly the same for you..."
You smiled. And i felt happier than I had for a long time.
