Ideal Lover

Ideal Lover
Once upon a time there were three beautiful triplets: Cinderella, Gabriella, and Pricilla. Everything about them was perfect: beautiful eyes and hair, figures like angels, and wealthy parents. But, these sisters were more than just skin deep. They were humble with their fortune, had a volunteering spirit, and had compassion for the poor and needy.
The sisters were best of friends. However, they had very different personalities and very separated friend groups. In fact, the girls hardly associated with each other while at school. Cinderella was tall with long blond hair. She had everything going for her including being the top of the pyramid and dating the star quarterback of the football team, Gerry. Gabriella had dirty brown hair and was average in every since of the word, except for her intelligence. Gabriella was the section leader of the speech and debate team and was dating the captain of the math team, Peter. Not to be forgotten, the youngest of the three, by ninety-two seconds, was Pricilla. Pricilla was the spitfire of the family. She had blazing orange hair and loved nothing more than art, music, and making a statement. Pricilla’s boyfriend, Charlie, was also very creative.
It was late November when tragedy struck the sisters. Within hours Cinderella fell from the top of her cheerleading pyramid and broke her leg, Gabriella got rejected form being admitted to Harvard, and Pricilla was awarded last place at the national art show. While the sisters were experiencing this heartache their boyfriends were blessed with success. Within the same day as the girls’ troubles, Gerry lead the football team to victory at state, Peter got a full ride to Yale, and Charlie won the first place ribbon and $10,000 at an art show. Because of the competitive nature of each person all three couples decided it would be best to take a long break.
Not being in a relationship was something very new to all six individuals. It gave them the chance to step outside their comfort zones and interact with other social groups. In fact, on that same day Charlie, the creative one, saw Cinderella sitting all by herself watching her squad practice. He went over to her and drew a picture on her cast. This was just the thing she needed to cheer her up. Gerry, the athlete, was not doing well in his calculus class. He decided to approach Gabriella to help him raise his grade. There was an instant connection between them. Also, on that same day, Peter, the intellectual, went to the school’s art gallery and fell in love with one of Pricilla’s paintings. The art brought them together.
That night, the sisters were astounded by the irony of the situation. They had all fallen in love with each other’s ex-boyfriends. The next day all six of them got together to try to understand how everyone was feeling about the situation. They all were very excited that they were able to break the social norms of high school and meet their other opposite and complementing half.
The unity the new couples transcended into unity of the whole school. Because of the three sisters, there was no more division among social groups from that point on.
The End.
