Clara had no problem when she saw a young girl she hadn’t met before in their house, for one thing, she was so happy Elena was finally making friends and having sleepovers in the place. “I’m Gaby,” the girl had greeted her so curtly, her cheeks filled with happiness. “I’m going to leave you to catch up and talk to each other. I have something to do upstairs.” She smiled back at her, exchanging hugs with her daughter's friend and rushing to her room. Elena was not in any way surprised by her mother's action. She knew she wouldn’t complain right from time, but she hadn’t expected her to be so shameless with it. “Your mom is so nice. Didn’t you say she was going to complain about it,” Gaby said snuggly, returning to the chair and lying down. “And she didn’t even bother to see me.” Silver added. Elena glanced at Silver, who was having a great time with Gaby and asking questions about her. How did she get along with everyone, ev
Elena gulped down, removing her hand away from silver’s and darting her eyes away from her.“It’s very obvious something is wrong. So tell me, what’s wrong?” She heard her repeat it.Elena decided not to reply, standing up from the bed, her hand moving to her hair and ruffling it.“I’ll take a shower. I feel so disgusted with myself now.” She muttered and hastily walked away.Silver sighed as she heard the bathroom door close, falling to the bed as her chest fell. Something was wrong, and it bothered her so much. They were friends, Besties that couldn’t do without each other, and now they did not even see eye to eye. It was the first time she had seen a fight between the both of them.“You know,” she heard someone say and jumped up from the bed immediately, widening her eyes in shock.Her pupils constricted as she saw it was Gaby, falling back to the bed and folding her hand to her stomach.“How long have you been there?”“Don’t worry. I don’t hold grudges.” Gaby replied, approaching
Elena clenched her jaw, taking her gaze away from him before he could see her and starting her food. Her mind and brain were now in disarray, and the thoughts she had once tucked into a part of herself were now roaming freely in her head again.“Do you want us to leave?” Silver asked.“No! No!” Elena said, shaking her head negatively and continuing with her food.“Anyone wants to go to that new store they just opened down the road? I heard they’re on discount prices. We should eat fast and go there.`` Gaby said, taking her fries and dipping them in the ketchup.“I’m in.” Silver responded.Elena clenched her jaw, trying her best to keep her composure. He was doing fine, and she was doing fine too. Why was she allowing herself to be affected by him and his actions?She had put too much in her mouth and immediately choked on one of the things she was eating,“Take it easy. Take it easy.” Silver said, moving her chair towards her and patting her back.She opened her juice, taking a huge g
“Did you see the look on her face? I tell you, everything about that girl is trouble!” Gaby said, her face full of smiles, walking between Elena and Silver.“She purposely came to the table, thinking we’ll talk to her. She’s a joke.” Silver added, closing the door of the car as they walked towards the entrance of the store.“Hmm,” Elena hummed, not saying more than that.Silver and Gaby looked at each other for a while, their heads turning towards Elena simultaneously.“You can’t keep making her trample on you. Why do you allow her to talk anyhow to you?” Gaby was the first to talk.Elena looked at her, her lips curling into a grin before drifting to a smirk. “She can’t bully me or trample on me. She knows her limit.” She said to them, taking some steps away from them.They entered the mall, their eyes widening at how full it was.“Elena,” Silver muttered close to her ears.“This is huge, Gaby! How did you know all of these?” Elena found herself saying, thought of Sarah and Matthew of
“Hey girl,” Gaby called out, rolling down her window and passing a little wave to Silver.Their car was packed beside each other, getting out of it and closing it. Elena turned to Silver’s car, standing beside the window. “Good morning, friend,” she said, her lips curling into a smile, making Silver surprised.Silver squinted her eyes towards her, eyeballs roaming Elena’s face. She turned to the passenger seat where Gaby stood, looking at both of them.“What did this girl do to you?”“She shared some tips about not caring.” Elena retorted, making Silver look at Gaby.“What did you tell her?”Gaby shook her head negatively, shrugging her shoulders as she took her hand off the window.“Let’s go to class, please,” she said as Elena leaned away from the car, waiting for Silver to get down before they proceeded to the class.“I’ll see you in class,” Sarah said to Matthew as she got out of the car.Closing the door and walking off, Matthew returned his gaze to the people he had been watchi
“I’ll see you in the next class. Make sure you bring the required materials to class, or else I’ll be sending most of you out,” The teacher said, packing her books and stomping her foot out of the class.Elena's head dropped on the locker immediately, a different kind of tiredness washing over her. She had just closed her eyes when she felt a hand tap her awake,“Aren’t you going to the cafeteria or you’re not hungry?” She heard Gaby say and a wave of deja vu washed over her.Looking up and stretching her lips into a smile, she fell back to the arm of the chair, groaning out before packing her books.“I’m so tired,” she said, a yawn escaping her lips after.“Her class can be quite boring. She does things that are not necessary to the class and thinks we can pick fun out of it. Giving stupid orders that are out of this world.” Gaby complained.Silver walked towards them, her books on the bridge of her arm.“So…” she started, drumming with her fingers on the table. “I’ll be introducing
“Fuck me again,” Gaby said as she eyed him, clearing her throat and turning to both Silver and Elena. “Before he says anything stupid. This is my stepbrother I was talking about, Craig.” She said and looked back to her food instantly. Elena and Silver’s eyes clashed, they’d been wondering who it could be but never thought of the extent of the basketball team. He was in the art class, so they didn’t meet. “Wow! Stupid,” Craig muttered to their hearing before his eyes turned to Elena. “Can I seat beside you?” He asked. Elena adjusted for him, shifting a bit closer to Xavier. He had a huge frame but was still more of the high school type, with long and curly hair that stopped after his neck, and brown eyes that looked like they were staring into someone’s soul, not to mention his lips that looked so plump and soft. She felt someone kick her from under the table and looked away from him immediately. “Don’t worry you c
“So is this your new crush or the guy you’re seeing now?” Craig asked as he noticed Gaby talking to a guy that came out of nowhere. “Idiot. At least try to settle down and think before spouting words,” Gaby retorted, mimicking his words before turning to James. “James, meet my stepbrother, Craig. And Craig, this is my friend, James.” She replied, eyeing Craig not to say anything stupid. Craig's face formed a smile again, scrutinizing James under his intense gaze before nodding his head. “He’s not bad.” He muttered as he continued his food and Elena. The table was fun, each of them making conversations and being immersed in their food. Even after they’d finished their food, they didn’t rush to stand up from the table, Silver with Xavier, Elena talking to Craig and smiling more than she had done that week and Gaby with James, already annoying the life out of him. The bell rang out all of a sudden, announcing that their chat t
