Snapchat: A Short Story

She could almost laugh at the irony of it all.
Sofia and Lily used to be friends but as they got older they grew apart. Lily had so many boyfriends over the years. She even got all the good, nice guys and to be completely honest she was neither of those things. Yet Sofia had never dated anyone. She was sweet and nice but also awkward and shy.
Brad was cute and nice and he instantly fell for Lily. Of course Sofia liked him but she would never do anything to sabotage the relationship. So she let it go thinking nothing would ever happen.
Then one day she got a message from Brad on Snapchat. They decided to start a streak. Things were normal and they were just being friends, so Sofia saw no problem with it. Lily never said anything about it to
Sofia.
They continued to talk for a while and became fairly good friends. One afternoon at school, Brad told Sofia that Lily and he had broken up. Sofia comforted him as well as she could while still being just his friend. But a few days later she found out that they had really broken up later that night. She was confused as to why Brad told her so early but she didn’t dare ask him.
They continued to talk and be friend. One of Sofia’s friends, Beth, decided to talk to brad and ask how he felt about Sofia. He told her that he liked her but was worried things would be weird because of how they met. Beth later told Sofia what she had found out.
Sofia and brad continued to flirt until one day the decided to meet up so they could hang out in person. It was a date and Sofia’s first date. And later that night Brad would be her first kiss.
