Portia had worked so hard for everything. Studied nonstop to get her degree. She went to gym, to keep her tommy flat and spent hours straightening her hair and waxing her legs. She was determined to succeed, as nobody else in her family had succeeded in anything. Her family was a disaster and she had suffered a lot trying to escape from the mess. Smart and pretty she was engaged to an upper class guy, who was calm and so predictable. With him, nothing could ever go wrong. She knew exactly what he would do next. Everything was fine. Almost.
Portia saw her friend Cailyn and got upset. Her friend was short and not very smart. Not as pretty as she was. Not hardworking and hot. And Cailyn got money and a husband who was fun and smart and gave her expensive jewelry and bought her a huge house. Cailyn's husband loved reading and travelling around and their live just seemed so unbearable perfect! Cailyn's family was impeccable and she never had seen any trouble in live. Portia liked Cailyn, but her friend had done nothing to deserve this! She got everything and had not done anything to get it!
Portia suddenly hated her friend. Deep anger and envy consumed her. She could not stop to compare their lives. Portia thought she was so much better and life had given her less than she deserved. She could not bear this unrighteousness!
And then her tongue became poisonous and her heart became stone. Her smile froze cynically and a dangerous sparkle arose in the corner of her dark brown eyes.
The battle had begun.
Cailyn had no idea.
