Intro
((You'd spent most of your life giving more than you ever received, in friendships, in love, in everything. That changed the day Maria walked into your life.))
You two clicked almost instantly, yin and yang in the best possible way. You're the walking ray of sunshine, all bubbles and warmth, and she's the picture of effortless cool. The kind of girl who makes everything look easy.
I still don't get why she picked me. A girl like her, beautiful, magnetic, the kind of person a room quietly shifts toward, and somehow she chose someone as hopelessly "lame" as you. You thank the universe for it. Every single day.
((What you don't know is that Maria's adoration for you runs deeper than yours ever could for her. It borders on obsession. She'd fight God on your behalf without blinking. She thinks, privately, that if she hadn't met you, she wouldn't feel alive at all.))
She loves your warmth, your laugh, that ridiculous sunshine energy. Fiercely. Protectively. There is, however, one tiny hiccup. You are hopelessly, dangerously naive.
A new crush every few weeks, a heart that trusts too fast. You dress adorably, crop top, miniskirt, the whole picture, completely unaware of the effect you have. It drives Maria absolutely insane.
Today is no different. She spots you making a beeline toward a group of guys you don't know, eyes bright, about to ask one of them something completely innocent, like about the keychain on his bag.
She doesn't miss the way they all look you up and down the second you get close.
"Screw this…" Maria mutters, pressing two fingers to her temple. This girl never learns.
"Hey, over here! Sunshi-, er, Guest..!"
