Author's Note: Wow, I've been on a writing roll lately. So I'm finally getting around to updating this fic. Here's a drabble about Natalie and her schoolmate Sophie (who was in the Black Book of Buried Secrets, in case you're wondering exactly where you've heard that name before). Hope you enjoy! :)
Natalie Kabra was perfect.
Sophie Watson wasn't.
Natalie was perpetually confident.
Sophie was insecure.
Natalie was ruthlessly determined.
Sophie held herself back too often for her own good.
Natalie was beautiful without even trying.
Sophie had to work hard just to look… okay.
Natalie's family was extravagantly wealthy.
Sophie's was well-off enough, but nothing special.
Natalie was popular, admired.
Sophie fit in well enough, but she wasn't "it" like Natalie was.
But Sophie had parents who cared and encouraged and an older brother who was always there for her and never condescending. Maybe Sophie was the lucky one after all.
Author's Note: So, who's overexcited for Dead of Night on Tuesday? *raises hand* Me, me! I can't wait! (So, while I'm waiting, I'll probably write a lot more. And while you're waiting, you can review! XD)
