I Fell in Love with my Best Friend (Alternate Universe)

I hear my annoying alarm yell at me to get up for my first day of senior year.

I reach my arm over and quickly turn off my alarm before I roll out of bed. I thoroughly stretch out my tight limbs as I walk towards my bathroom, with my eyes closed, and take a warm shower.

-

When I'm finished showering and plugging up my curling iron I walk into my closet and pick out an outfit while keeping in mind that the weather is still warm.

You got to love fall weather.

It's still hot, but not too hot.

I decide to wear a white skater skirt with a light blue marble design and a white halter top. For shoes I chose white wedges.

When I'm dressed in the outfit I chose and my brown hair is curled in spirals my phone starts to ring from my nightstand near my bed.

I carefully unplug the curling iron and quickly spray my hair with hairspray before walking towards my phone and answering the call "Hello?" I ask into the phone as I pick up the heart shaped locket, I was given years ago but have no idea who it came from My mom says that Charlotte gave it to me, but I don't remember that event ever happening.

"Aspen, I have amazing news to tell you" I hear Avery's voice yell down the phone causing me to pull the phone away from my ear for a second so I could regain my hearing Avery Knight.

My best friend since fourth grade.

We've always had each other's backs growing up.

"What news?" I ask her as I clasp the locket around my neck and place a triangular ring onto my middle finger This may sound weird but this locket gives me a sense of protection.

"Bellisa is attending our school starting today" she shrieks with excitement as I gasp in shock.

For those of you who don't know, "Bellisa” is currently one of the world’s most famous actresses and singers.

And as you can see, we're big fans of her.

She inspired me to take singing lessons when I was fifteen.

"No way, wait why our school?!" I say as my mind starts to drift off to the multitude of questions I suddenly have "I don't know, but the article says something about her wanting to take a break and find her childhood sweetheart" Avery responds then suddenly gasps making me question her random outburst "Have you ever noticed how similar Bellisa and Charlotte look?" Avery asks me as I grab my purse and head downstairs so that I can eat breakfast She's kidding, right?!

Bellisa and Charlotte look nothing alike.

"I don't know, I haven't seen Charlotte since we were thirteen when she moved away unexpectedly" I say still confused as to why she moved away without informing me Charlotte and I used to tell each other everything, yet when she makes the biggest decision of her life I have to find out from my mom.

"I have to go; I'll see you at school in ten minutes" I say to her as I reach the bottom of the stairs and start walking in the direction of the kitchen "Okay, bye" she says before hanging up I put my phone inside of my purse before walking into the kitchen only to be met with the sight of my mom placing a plate of pancakes on the counter in front of a barstool which makes me smile.

"Thanks mom" I say as I sit in the barstool and drown my pancakes in syrup before digging in and carefully eating it since I'm wearing white My mom clears her throat before she turns to me.
