It was. All her life she was always the fat girl. Throughout school she was always the “fat friend” who stood by and watched all her friends go out on dates and have boyfriends while she stayed home on the weekends hoping she could be one of those girls, the beautiful ones, like her stunning blonde bombshell best friend Cassidy. Middle school had been a nightmare, she’d been teased relentlessly – high school was marginally better. It still hurt when she gave it any thought – so she didn’t. At least she tried not to anyhow.
“I think we need to go out and show you around. Fifteen months away from home is way too long to go without my bestie.”
Ivy was tempted, but she was on a mission tonight. She turned to face her friend. “I’m really sorry Cassidy, I really am. I just… after what happened… I needed to get away and then when I started losing weight I didn’t want to come back until I was the new me…” she crinkled up her nose, tossing her auburn hair over her shoulder. “Does that make sense?”
Cassidy got up from Ivy’s double bed and walked over to give her friend a warm embrace. “I get it. But I just don’t understand why you’d even want him after he was such a jackass to you. He doesn’t deserve you. He didn’t then and certainly doesn’t now.”
“I want him because he was such a jackass,” Ivy corrected. Her mind rushed back to the memory of her spilling her heart out to her stepbrother before she left for college. His rejection was swift and perhaps a little blunter than he’d intended, but he’d made it clear, she wasn’t his “type.” Meaning, she was a little too chunky – correction, too fat, to warrant his interest. No doubt it was her weight because up until that moment they’d been close friends, their personalities matching perfectly. Her yen to his yang. Her confession and his rejection changed all that.
“Do you think this looks good on me?” Ivy ran her hands along the red form-fitting mini-dress she was wearing. The dress clung to her curves like a second skin. She wasn’t used to this type of clothing and still felt a little ill at ease showing off her body. So many years of insecurities about her body had taken a toll on her self-esteem, she supposed. She’d always admired the larger girls who seemed to own it, she was just never able to.
“It’s incredible. You’re easily the hottest woman in town, he’ll be drooling over you and I guarantee he’ll be kicking himself for being such a jerk before. So what’s the plan anyhow?”
“I’m going to seduce Trey.”
Cassidy’s brow knit as she took a step back. “I don’t get it. It’s Ethan you want. Why?”
A wicked smile spread across her lips. “Because I’m going to have them both.”
“Excuse me?” Her friend’s blue eyes widened in surprise. “What do you mean?”
“I mean. The best way to get at Ethan is to go after his best friend. Besides, you know how badly Trey treated women in high school. He deserves to be taught a lesson just as much as Ethan. Think of all the girls they’ve cheated on and left heartbroken over the years. It’s about time someone showed them how bad it feels to be treated like they’re insignificant.”
“But how? I mean…” Cassidy raked a hand through her golden hair. “You know they’re both a couple of playboys – that hasn’t changed since you’ve been away.”
“True, but here’s the thing. They both expect the women to fall head over heels like they always do for them. They don’t expect to be the ones being led on. And they always go for looks, not what’s in the woman’s head.”
“Yeah, but how do you expect to rope them in? I mean you’re gorgeous… But…”
“Because, I know them. I know them both, extremely well. I know how to catch them and how to reel them in. I know what they like in a woman, and I know how to be that woman. I know my weight was the only thing holding Ethan back before. Without that between us it should be easy enough.”
Despite her words she was still nervous. Well over a year had passed. They might be entirely different people by now. According to Cassidy they weren’t, they were the same kind of guys who’d left her broken-hearted, but there was no guarantee.
Cassidy draped her arm over her friend’s shoulders. “Well, on the behalf of half the women of Portland, Maine, if you can pull this off, we thank you. About time those jerks learned a lesson.”
