Lexi

Bitter Sweet

There are a group of friends, Lexi, Ginger, May, and Clara. They have been friends since middle school, and continued into high school. They're inseparable. Through the eyes of everyone else looking in, they're the best of friends, but truly, the three friends despise Lexi. They're jealous of her beauty, and kindness. And everything she has–they envy.

The three friends texted Lexi in a group chat to go to their favorite spot in the woods to skinny dip in the small lake. They always used to go there whenever they went camping with Lexi's parents when they were little, and soon after, they made it as their sanctuary, their "tree house".

"What's taking her so long?" May humphed in frustration as she eyed the ominous woods in search for a flash of bright yellow. The girls decided to meet at night when no body would be around to watch them. They needed it to be like this, or else their plan would fail.

"There she is!" Clara whispered to the others in excitement along with a devilish grin as she spotted Lexi's blonde locks of wavy hair coming their way.

"I almost forgot my way over here! It's been so long since we've met in this spot. Why now?" Lexi emerged from between two tall oak trees carved in their initials, and hearts. Her smile displayed her neatly aligned pearly whites that went well with her wavy locks of golden hair, porcelain skin, and blue eyes resembling the deep blue sea–creating the perfect untouched image every girl yearned for.

After Ginger soaked in all of her flawless beauty for the countless of times, she stopped herself from rolling her eyes. She, and the other girls had to refrain themselves from showing their hatred, their jealousy or Lexi might catch on.

"I don't know we just kind of missed the old days." Clara pretended to reminisce as she weakly smiled at Lexi who sat on the log across from her.

"Me too! Remember when Lexi fell into that deep hole in the middle of the woods while we were trying to find our way back out of the woods?!" May brung up a memory that ignited every part of her soul. That was the day Lexi fractured her leg, and foot along with a broken rib. The three girls excluding Lexi knew of that hole, they were the ones who dug it up.

"Yea, she really got stuck in the woods!" They all laughed, except for Lexi, and this time their laugh was genuine.

"That's not even funny. I could've died that day." Lexi's brows furrowed in sorrow as her eyes casted down to the wood barks, and dirt ground. The girls would've felt bad, but they reveled in her pain, they craved it, they wanted nothing more but to see her suffer. And that's why they created this trap.

"Sorry L... how 'bout that skinny dip? It'll cheer you up–I know it." May flashed Lexi a sly smile when she wasn't looking, but as Lexi snapped out of her daze she looked up to May to see a sympathetic look on her face along with her open hand out towards her. Lexi felt a weird vibe with the girls she just didn't know where to put her finger on it.

Lexi shook those thoughts away before she grabbed May's hand, forgetting what had just happened, and ready for another one of their crazy adventures.

Ginger got up from her log beside Lexi, and draped an arm over her shoulder as they walked to the beautiful, indigo simmering lake. The moon reflected off of the dark water which created a glow that made their face feel like it was shining. Eager to jump in the water, they all threw off their clothes, and tossed it to the side of a tree near the lake.

"Who's first?!" Clara jumped in excitement, not caring at all that they were all nude at the moment, but she did notice Lexi though. Her curves creating an hourglass figure that held no marks, nor blemishes just miles, and miles of clear, smooth like skin. Clara wanted to scar her for life, she wanted to leave an imprint on her to flaw her once, and for all.
