More Than Best Friends

"I'm going to tell Jeremy how I feel about him tonight," Elena announced to her best friend, Matthews as they got down from his car, which he had parked a few blocks away from their school. He frowned immediately. "So, what are you saying? You're finally going to reveal your feelings for—Are you even listening to me Elena?" "I am, I am." She said avoiding his eyes. "I'm just going to pretend like I'm not because I know you are going to disagree with me. But listen, I think he really likes me. I just feel like we have this connection-"Matthews scoffed. "Really? Connection?" She shot him a look, rolling her eyes. He quickly raised his arms in defeat. "Sorry, sorry. But you...I just don't want to see you get hurt okay? What if he doesn't share the same feelings and you just end up embarrassing yourself?"Elena smiled, shaking her head. "I know he shares my feelings, don't worry about me."Matthews chose not to say anything else concerning that topic. It was pointless. He has known Ele

"Woah, it's crowded in here," Matthews commented. "I really should have stayed back home." He had later changed his mind and had shown up at Elena's house later, all dressed up. He said he was to make sure she didn't do anything stupid, and it had almost led to a fight, but Silver had managed to stop it."Exactly how I like—Oh, look, there's Jeremy!" She announced. "Quick, tell me, how do I look?""Good." Elena had taken extra time in her appearance that day. Not just in her outfit, but everything. She had shaved and 'prepared' herself because she felt it would be the day she finally entered Jeremy's room. "Smell, my neck," she said to Silver. "Is it bad?""It's okay?""Okay?" She palmed her head. "Dude, I want him to be seduced by my appearance, not think I'm 'okay' and also—Oh, he's coming here, act normal!"Matthews sighed. "I'm going to go use the bathroom.""Better," Elena said, grabbing Silver's hands as she walked to go meet Jeremy. Matthews stared at her for a while, before t

Matthew woke up the next day with a new vision. As he prepared for school that morning, everyone noticed that he was more elated, leading to his mother asking him what was happening.“It’s nothing, Ma; you can’t understand,” he said back to her, throwing his bag on his shoulder as he downed the cereal prepared for him.“Have a nice day!” he yelled to her as he walked out of the door.Last night was one of the best in his life, and in his head were all the things that would happen. After the hot sex between them, they had both fallen asleep amidst the sheets, their arms sprawled on each other. The last thing he remembered before succumbing to a deep sleep was placing his lips on her forehead and kissing her. He didn't even know when she woke up and left his room, the pieces of her clothing he had torn in anger were also nowhere to be found.As he drove on the narrow road, a huge smile on his face, he connected his phone to the car, playing one of their favourite songs as he hummed to i

“I’ll do anything. Everything to be friends with him.” Sarah said, standing up from her seat and shuffling her feet towards Elena.“Alright then,” Elena said, dumping her drink bottle into the dumpster as she eyed Sarah.She darted her eyes to where Freya and Matthew were seated before to find they'd stood up. Huffing the thought of where they might have gone away from her head, she looked back at Sarah, who was still in front of her.“Let’s go,” Elena said as she turned towards the cafeteria exit.She didn't know exactly what she would do to Sarah and how she’ll get her close to Matthew, but she knew she would do it. Matthew was a very picky person. He rarely talked to anyone. Elena could say that apart from her, he barely had any other friends. Well, and Silva too. And for Sarah to like him and approach her, she had done the right thing.“Where are we going to start from? Are we going to see him now?” Sarah asked, almost colliding with Elena.Elena stopped in her tracks, turning to

The next day, Elena woke up early to her mother's yelling. She had left Matthew’s house late due to the discussions between him and Sarah. She didn't even get the hang of their conversation. She just saw they were so immersed when she wanted to get home. It even took time before she could dissect what they were talking about, only to find that it was some book game about their favorite authors.On the way home, Sarah said that Matthew had asked her if she wanted to hang out, and they might be hanging out together during lunchtime at school. Elena was more than pleased, and she had told Sarah to get to her house early tomorrow so they could both get to school together. But this morning, it was a different case entirely because her mummy was not having the hang of it.“Tell me, Elena, is it fun to embarrass your teacher or disrespect them? When did you even turn this way? Why would you just want to be a bully and make them report you everytime?” she yelled from downstairs.Elena grumbled
