Claire wouldn't have thought of herself as being obsessed with Lucetta. "Obsessed" wasn't the word she would have chosen.

   But she had always wanted to be Lucetta's friend. To absorb some of the light that seemed to radiate from the girl, with her long, ice-blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

   The two girls had met at primary school, aged seven. Claire had known she wouldn't be Lucetta's first choice, for a best friend. Had watched her work systematically through all the prettiest, most popular girls in the class. First Allison. Then Cathryn. Then Donna, Julie, and Isabelle. Her friendships never lasted long, but whose did, at that age?

   Although Claire's mother was keen to point out that Claire herself had never really had any consistent friend other than Susan. 

   Mum's own best - in fact, only - friend was Susan's mother, Rosemary. And she was critical of what she viewed as her daughter abandoning Susan. It was with extreme reluctance that she did - and just the once - allow Claire to invite Lucetta around for tea.

   "I always thought Susan was your best friend. Who is this Lucinda girl, anyway?" she had initially asked.

   "Her name isn't Lucinda. It's Lucetta. And Susan is mainly friends with Hazel and Imogen these days."

   "And whose fault is that? Claire, Hazel and Imogen have been best friends for a long time, haven't they? I shouldn't think it's ideal for Sue."

  That was true enough. Hazel and Imogen could seriously be twins. The pair had been inseparable since the first day of infants. They definitely went against the trend for fickle early friendships. It was probably true that Susan was tagging along. But, honestly - how was that Claire's problem?

   Ironically, for a while, in the early years of secondary school, Lucetta became best friends with Susan. 

   That was when Claire resorted to more drastic measures. In a progressive sense. 

   Increasingly drastic - desperate. More so, over the years - into young adulthood.

   She'd loved Lucetta, truly and genuinely. In a way, she still did. Always would.

   All Claire had ever wanted was to be Lucetta's best friend. All. She. Had. Ever. Wanted.

   Shit, how had it ever come to this?
