Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Human Best Friend

Sofia's Point of View

"I love you so much Sofia. You are the most beautiful girl in the world," Ethan said as he caressed my cheek.

"I love you too, Ethan, So much. I wish we could be together but I know we can't," I replied with a frown.

"Don't say that. Yes, we can," Ethan said

"But no one would approve of us," I said

"I don't care what anyone thinks; you are mine, forever," Ethan said, and he pulled my body closer to his. I knew he was about to kiss me. I closed my eyes, waiting for our lips to connect.

"Beep, beep, Beep." I woke up to my alarm going off. I looked at my nightstand to see it was six in the morning. I couldn't help but gasp.

"Why does the dream always end before he kisses me?" I said to myself. I had been having the same dream for months about the guy I was in love with, A guy I would never have.

My door busted open, causing me to jump from shock.

"Shut that damn thing off," My mom said, and I pressed the button, making my alarm stop beeping.

"Damn, Sofia. You woke me up. You know I had a long night," My mom said

"Sorry, mom," I replied

"Whatever, I am going back to bed," My mom said and she walked out of my room. I couldn't help but shake my head. Of course, she had a long night. She was out partying until four in the morning. I am surprised she came home at all.

I have never met my father. When I was five years old, I asked my mom why I didn't have a daddy, and she told me that it was because he never wanted me and he left because he told her to abort me, but she decided to keep me.

I walked into the kitchen to get something to eat. When I got in there, my mom was kissing a man I had never seen before, which wasn't surprising. I guess she broke up with Dan or Don or whatever his name was. There have been so many it is hard to keep up with their names.

I quickly grabbed an apple and was about to leave, but my mom spoke.

"Sofia, this is my new boyfriend, Max," My mom said.

"Hello, Sofia. It is nice to finally meet you," Max said. I didn't miss how his eyes roamed my body, causing me to feel disgusted.

"Sofia, didn't you hear Max say hi? Don't you think you should speak to him?" My mom said

"Hi," I replied. I was about to walk away, but my mom stopped me.

"Sofia, did you forget to pay the gas bill? The water is freezing cold," My mom asked.

"I gave you the money to pay it last week," I said

"I used that money for something else I needed to do," my mom said. I knew she was lying. I knew she used the money to party.

"Well, I will be staying at Max's house. He lives in a mansion over on Manchester Street. I can't stay here without hot water, so you will be here alone," my mom said. It wasn't like I wasn't used to being at home alone. My mom had left me alone since I was six. I had to learn how to take care of myself.

"Okay, I have to get to school," I said

"Oh, yeah. My daughter is such a nerd," my mom said as she looked at Max and then at me. "I don't know why you are still in school. It isn't going to get you anywhere. School isn't for people like us," My mom said. My mom always said things like that to me ever since I was little. It was sad that she didn't want to see me do good.

"Hey, sexy," a guy who looked to be drunk said as I left the apartments. I just ignored him as I quickly walked past.

I went to a good school on the rich side of town. I ended up getting a scholarship to go there when I was in fifth grade.

I was shocked when I got accepted because everyone who goes to Eclipse Academy is rich. I didn't have any friends there except for my best friend, Ella. We had been friends since I started going there.

When I got close to the school, I saw Jane, the head cheerleader and Queen B of the school, standing by the front door with her friends, Brittany and Tiffany.

"Well, if it isn't the poor weak human," Jane said, and her friends laughed like it was the funniest thing ever. I ignored her and walked into the school. "I don't know why she wants to stay here. She doesn't belong," Jane said. She always said weird things, like calling me a weak human. I mean, She was a human, too. I just shook my head as I made my way to my locker.

Ella was standing by my locker when I got there. "Hey, Sof. I was worried you wouldn't make it to class in time," Ella said

"Hey, So was I. The bus was late getting here because there was an accident," I said

Courtney and Anya were already sitting at our table when we got there. They were Ella's friends.

"Hey, Ella. Hi, Sofia," Courtney said as we sat down. I was sure she only said hi to me because Ella told her to be nice to me. I knew Courtney and Anya didn't like me, just like everyone else in this school didn't. They were only nice to me because Ella and I were best friends.

Ethan walked into the room with his arm around Jane's shoulder. Ethan was the quarterback and the most popular guy in the school. He was also Ella's twin brother and the guy I had been in love with since I started going to Eclipse Academy in the fifth grade. He was the guy I dreamed about every morning. The one I wanted to be with, but I knew that would never happen. Not only because he was my best friend's brother or because he already had a girlfriend, but also because he hated me.

When I first started going to Eclipse Academy, Ethan and I were friends. He was so nice, but when we got into the ninth grade, he changed. The first day of school I walked up to him and he told me to stay away from him. He said he never wanted to speak to me again and that I didn't belong there. After that, I stopped talking to him. You would think I would have been over him after the way he spoke to me, but I'm not. I hated the way I felt about him. I hated how much I wanted to be with him.
