Alexandria Doukas' POV

Clutching my fingers onto the hem of my dress, I was sincerely hoping that no one could see the expression on my face.

"And I was saying that I don't think I ever saw someone as pretty as her."

I lowered my eyes down to my lap at that and sitting beside me, Kat was cutting her meat even more vigorously than needed.

"So I went up to her and it turns out that she-"

"Okay, let's change the subject, you're boring me," Kat interrupted rudely as she stabbed her steak rather viciously.

Inwardly, I thanked whatever gods for giving me Kat as my best friend.

It didn't matter how many years have passed but seeing him always hurt. I guess it was rather silly of me to be in love with a childhood friend till now despite there being zero chances of my feelings getting returned.

With his sandy hair, crystal blue eyes and a charming smile that was accompanied by his mischievous nature, I had fallen hard.

And as long as I knew, I had been in love with Trevor Henderson. Since I was young, I had always thought that he would fall in love with me too. But now that I was twenty-two, that dream of mine that seemed like a far-fetched idea.

I had tried to go out on dates in attempts to get over him since I started college three years ago but none of the boys had ever appealed to me.

Perhaps it was my quiet, reserved nature that didn't win me any points, I brooded as Trevor began a slanging fight with Kat and my brother began starting a bet with who would win.

Ultimately, I knew Kat would win. And maybe, so did Raphael.

After all, he did propose to Kat a few months back but I knew that both agreed that they would only get married a few years down the road.

I was ridiculously happy for the both of them, I really was. Kat and Raphael were perfect for each other. Where Kat was all wild and loud, Raphael was more laid back and he mellowed her down while she brought his fun side out.

Also, I was pretty sure my oldest brother Roman had a girlfriend. A girlfriend that no one knew about except me because I had seen her and him while I was shopping for school supplies.

I was glad that my siblings and Kat were moving on with their lives but nonetheless, it was still a painful reminder for me that I was left behind figuratively.

Being hung up on a guy that I was in love with since I was a child was quite pathetic in my opinion. Nothing I could do would make him notice me and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get over him.

Every time we had a gathering and Trevor would start talking about his latest squeeze, my heart seemed to ache unbearably and I would do anything I could to hide the pain that it brought. It was even worse when he brought them along because it felt as if my heart sank to the bottom of my gut.

It brought up feelings of always being inadequate. Wasn't I pretty enough? Or was I not outgoing enough to catch his attention? Was I too boring with my books?

Now that I was twenty-two, my heart felt like a battered piece of flesh that was riddled full of scars and wounds that never truly healed despite the years that have come and gone.

Each time he spoke about his conquests, it was like a dagger plunging through my heart.

At that thought, I could feel my lower lip begin to tremble a little and that made me panic because I didn't want anyone to see me crying.

"You know what? I'm leaving and Lexi is coming with me too!" Kat snapped as she stood up and tossed her curls over her shoulder.

Her hand took my arm and she dragged me to where her car was. Despite the force she was using to pull me away from the restaurant, her hold on me was gentle and tender.

"Hey, don't cry over him," she said gently, eyes warm as she opened the car door for me.

"I wasn't," I argued lightly and true enough, I could feel a tear roll down my cheek. "Oh Lex," Kat chewed on her lower lip before pulling me into a tight hug.

"I didn't want to!" I protested as more tears fell.

"Okay. No more crying! We can go to my place, I'll tell Raphael he can stay the night with Roman and we'll have a girly night! Alcohol, stupid movies, how does that sound?"

I nodded my head and Kat sighed before starting the car.

"I lurveee this soong!" I slurred and Kat let out a high pitched cackle before dropping to the ground.

"I KNOW! I LOVE IT TOO!"

I sat up and quickly reached for the table beside me to steady myself. Blinking furiously, I walked over to the kitchen from where we were sprawled all over the living room.

Currently, Kat was swaying heavily as she tried to reach for another shot of the vodka she had poured while I was trying my best to stop. I wasn't really much of a drinker.

Opening the fridge, I grabbed the cups containing iced coffee that I had the mind to prepare earlier to sober us up. Gulping it down, I staggered back to the living room and sat down, content to watch Kat make a fool of herself as I slowly sobered up.

"Why did you stop drinking?!"

I shook my head which was a mistake because I felt the earth shake. "I don't want to have a horrid hangover tomorrow, plus this isn't my house."

Impressed that I could speak without slurring, I took another sip of my coffee and Kat groaned in annoyance before slumping beside me.

"You know that you're always welcome here," she replied as she rubbed her face with her hand. "Raph is so going to kill me! Ha! Let him try!"

I turned an amused grin in her direction at her conversation with herself before hitting my head back against the head rest of the sofa. "Kat, do you think I'm stupid?"

"What? Why? Who said you were stupid?" Abruptly, Kat sat up and glared at me. "Tell me the name," she demanded and I quickly shook my head.

"No one called me that," I replied soothingly. "Do you think I'm stupid for loving someone who will never love me back?"

I absolutely resented how forlorn I sounded and Kat seemed to think so as she smacked me hard in the arm.

"That hurt," I glared and she shot me a condescending one in return. "That was the point," she retorted sharply before taking a huge sip of my cup of coffee.

"Look, Lex, no one could tell you who to have feelings for and how long you should have them. But, douchebag Trevor really doesn't deserve you," Kat said fiercely.

"If he can't see what a beautiful person you are, both inside and out, he doesn't deserve you," she faced me with a warm earnest expression. "And Lex, you are way out of his league," she added, grabbing my hands with hers and inwardly, I winced a little from how sticky they were from ice-cream.

"I know, but every time I see him, I wonder why doesn't he notice me one bit? Am I too boring? Not pretty enough-"

"Oh my god, shut the fuck up," Kat shouted and glared at me. "You are pretty and I'm not going to deal with this. We need to go to a club and you can find a cute guy to use a rebound."

I arched an eyebrow. "Do you tell my brother that?" I ask dryly and Kat smirked. "Of course, when else could I see him get so agitated and jealous?"

Wrinkling my nose because I really didn't want to hear more, I tuck my legs beneath me to get into a more comfortable position. "But do you think he'll ever notice me?"

Kat stared at me pensively as she tucked a curl behind her ear. "To be very honest Lex, I don't think so. But even if he does, I don't think he is right for you."

"Why?" I asked, confused and surprised that she would say that.

"First," Kat began, settling herself on the couch. "You're a little quiet and reserved, someone who is more mature and a little serious will understand and accept that about you. That being said, if said person is a little mischievous - but not too much. It would cause you to be out of your comfort zone."

"Secondly," Kat tapped the tips of her fingers as she said each point. "I hate to say this but, if a guy can't see a treasure right in front of him his entire life, he certainly doesn't deserve you nor is he worth it."

"Thirdly, someone a little older would be better, someone equally mature as you. Not that being mature is a bad thing, it's just you need someone to make you feel more confident about yourself. Someone that will never make you doubt your self-worth or to make you feel as if you have to do things to get their attention," Kat finished and I could feel myself tear up even more.

"Oh, I see," I whisper and Kat sighed before chewing on her lip once more.

"Besides, what things do you have in common with Trevor anyway? I mean IF he really likes you, what things are there for the both of you to bond over?"

That thought made me stop.

Did I actually have anything in common with the boy I was in love with since I was a child? Was there anything that the both of us liked?

"I..." My mouth worked but I couldn't seem to think of a single answer. Faltering, I tried to come up with ideas but none came to mind.

Kat raised a perfectly arched eyebrow at my floundering and looked a tad smug. "I think you have an answer. Why waste any more of your time on someone that doesn't need it?"

I nodded as I stared distantly at the wall. "You're right," I whispered as I shifted and hugged my knees to my chest. "I feel so stupid."

"No, you're just a girl in love," Kat murmured before tossing her wayward curls. "Starting from now, you are going to forget all about Douchebag Trevor and you are getting over him!"

"Okay," I answered as I slowly nodded my head. Kat was right, if he hadn't ever noticed me, was I really going to wait forever? No way. I was no longer going to waste my life like that. I strengthened my resolve and stared determinedly at Kat.

I was going to get over him and that was that.
