“Uh… my birthday isn’t in another four months.”“Can’t I get gifts for you without it being your birthday?”“Ok.”He turned and walked out of her room.

Her anger dissipated and her lips curled up in response.*“This is weird.” King grumbled, adjusting the collar of his shirt as he and Joan stood awkwardly at the corner of the entrance of the church. He couldn’t deny that she had a good taste in men's clothes, he thought looking down at his trousers. She definitely knew his style.“You’re the one making it awkward.” She whispered.He was about to respond but stopped, chuckling instead when he saw her fiddling with the sleeves of the burgundy gown she wore, she was also nervous. They had come to the Catholic Church closest to her house, St. Thomas Aquinas. The mass had

The result of evil, both parties bore the marks. He was glad that whomever it was, whether for evil or for good reasons, had knocked out Jamal. He was sure the person wouldn’t stop him now from what he was about to do. It was time to do things his own way.*Joan paced up and down her room. King hadn’t called yet, he promised he would. She had made sure to get him a new phone and a sim card before he left, she left it in the pocket of his hoodie. He promised he would call. Her two hands went up in her hair and back down and then down her face.What if something bad happened? What if the blue guy caught up with him or the cab man had been fake?It had been two

She quickly pulled her hands away from her mother’s and stood up, walking to the double windows.“Joan, did you hear me?”“Yes.”“Good. If you're already harboring feelings for him, you better kill them now before it’s too late. King needs you in his life, even I have to admit, don’t be selfish. I won’t go back on my words.”She waited until the door clicked shut before she succumbed to the tears.*King stared at his brother as he stared awake. It had been four hours. He was seated across the room from him, they needed the space. Jamal’s eyes went open and he looked around, his look that of puzzlement until his eyes landed in him, they became even more puzzled then they changed to that of fury.“You!” Jamal shouted.King stared at him, unbothered. Jamal made to stand up but fell back into his chair, the clanging of chains filling the room.“You chained me!?”Jamal’s voice boomed throughout the room, the heat of his anger chasing away any coolness the room had. King tried har

He placed kisses on her hair and forehead, muttering soothing words to her. He continued this way until her cries quietened and she finally looked up at him. Big tear filled eyes stared up at him and he stared back, trying to convey his warmth to her through his eyes.She opened her mouth and spoke.“Kiss me.”*He froze, his eyes bulging out of their sockets.“Wha… What?” he stuttered, hoping he had heard wrong but at the same time, his heart beat increased in anticipation.“Kiss me, King.”“Joan…” he cleared his throat, licking his lips, and adjusting his hold on her, “You can’t mean… you can’t be serious.”More tears slipped down her face.“Kiss me King, please.” She begged.“We’ll pretend like this didn’t happen. I didn’t ask you for a kiss.” She spoke, getting up from his lap.He stood up also, perplexed, wanting, in need."What? But you..."She faced him with still teary eyes. "I know. That was a weak moment, I was troubled and I needed some sort of reprieve. It was
False Best Friends Chapter 20: Legal
Maybe she would get over it, maybe she would move on, maybe it wasn’t anything to her, maybe she would never consider him anything more than a bestfriend, maybe the strange emotion he had seen in her eyes had been fake, maybe the desperation he had heard in her voice was unreal, maybe all she said was true, maybe it was all a cover-up but one thing he knew for sure was that he would never forget, ever.*“You’re staying!?”He groaned, turning over on the bed, trying to get more sleep. This was the best he had slept in a long while, she didn’t understand that. His door banged open and her voice shook the room.“King! You didn’t tell me you were staying!?”He buried his face in his pillow.“King!”The duvet came off him.He let out an exasperated sigh, “Joan, I’m trying to sleep here!”She giggled.“You’re awake already, you spoke to me.” She sang.He grumbled, turning into his back so he could see her while rubbing his still sleepy eyes. A pillow landed on his face.“All thro

“I hope. If Jamal doesn’t cooperate, there are legal steps to take to make him do so. You are the victim and must remain the victim to have the law in your side.”“I know that.”“Very well then. You can leave my office and come back after the three days is up.” He stood up, giving Mr. Winnows a curt nod before walking out of his office, Mr. Winnows scrutinizing gaze piercing his back even all the way home.*Joan walked round the car reciting physics formulas to herself to memorize them.The garden was quiet and peaceful as expected, the rest of the outside world was not, exactly why she had escaped there. On a normal school day with no exams lurking around, she would have busier herself with filling her ears with the latest gist going around school, Sisi was always there to inform; either the latest couples or the latest cheats or who got preggy or had an abortion or who lost her virginity or passed out on the streets the last Friday night party… there was always something to

“She’s the Joan Michaels.” Their A.P chemistry teacher spoke, pointing to her. She grew even more confused as all attention turned to her.“Ok, Joan Michaels” the policeman who spoke earlier, the young, good looking one with the captivating eyes, spoke, “You’re wanted in questioning concerning the murder of Kyrian Gonzales. We would like you to accompany us to the station.”*Joan’s heart flew out of her mouth.“What!” she squeaked.“You don’t have to worry” the principal’s secretary said kindly, looking at her with pity eyes, “Its just to answer a few questions.”She looked at Sisi who looked back at her with bewildered eyes. She looked back to the good looking policeman.“But I don’t know anything, how…” her voice cracked, she cleared her throat.“All that will be in the station” the second policeman stated less kindly, “Please follow us so we won’t take much of your time.”She nodded slowly, stealing one last look at her friends before following them. They were the centre
False Best Friends Chapter 23: I won't let you go
“We’ll check to see if what the both of you claim is true, is really true. You'll be led to the waiting room while we go do that.”She stood up slowly, a bit more confident than she had been earlier but nevertheless still afraid. Her head was jumbled with different thoughts and none of them seemed to end well.They were led out of the room to the waiting room, detective White and the principal’s secretary staying back with them while detective Schuffer and the V.P went back to the school.And so she sat, waiting.*Joan sighed out in relief as she entered her home. The saying 'You never know what you have until you lose it.’ really applied to her that day. Though she ended up not losing anything, the events of that day really moved her. She had not realized how much she relished stepping into her home after a long school day, how much she loved jumping into her bed and getting a good sleep, how much she appreciated seeing her mother’s face each day, how much she valued Sisi, Keish
