Kat was eating up her every word, her eyes fixed on her wondrous newest discovery. Entertaining the thought that she might even have a chance with this one. After all, Adrienne seemed impressed enough with her so far. Why else would she be sharing such intimate details of what seemed like every aspect of her life?
Some names were being mentioned, along with a few praises for those corresponding to her innermost circle of friends. Kat recognized some of the qualities Adrienne clearly admired in others in herself, which contributed to raise her confidence. And then it came the killer line.
- She's just the sweetest girl in the world.
Kat's spellbound smile dropped without a warning. She quickly corrected it, covering with a plastic one she reserved for such occasions.
So, apparently, this Lindsey person is the sweetest girl she's ever met, she thought. Not just that, she thinks she's sweet enough to discard any other potentially sweet girl as bitter or even sour in comparison, Kat rambled on. And what if what that statement concealed, or rather revealed, was that Adrienne really was sweet on Lindsey?
Thus the circle of senseless emasculating questions began. Alas, Kat did not excel in anything that she could think of. She just didn't exceed, mostly she passed satisfactorily. She considered herself to be of a somewhat sweet nature, but certainly she was not the sweetest. Harshness had a place in her when needed. Even if not needed, sometimes.
Rudimentary social skills were not lacking in her. However, anyone could agree she wasn't the epitome of friendliness.
Nor were looks or wits completely absent on her. And still hers wasn't a beauty that stood up to most people. The phrase sharp as a whip would never be said about her.
The feeling of inadequacy made Kat shrivel.
