(THIRD PERSON’S POV)

The metallic clang of Larry Davis’s fork against the plate echoed through the dining room, cutting through the pleasant classical music like a discordant note. All eyes, including Rory’s, snapped to him. A knot of dread tightened in Rory’s stomach. She knew this was coming.

“Are you all right?” Aunt Ryan’s voice, though soft, held concern as she looked at Larry, then at Rory and Todd.

Larry pushed his plate away with a loud scrape, his gaze fixed on Todd. “All right? How can I be all right when my daughter has changed so much right before my eyes?” His voice, though not a yell, was laced with a palpable anger. “Rory used to be different. She was a quiet girl, focused on her studies, a nerd even, and I was proud of that. Now… now look at her.” His eyes flicked to Rory, a mixture of hurt and accusation in their depths. “She’s completely different, and it’s all because of this boy.” He gestured dismissively towards Todd.

Rory felt a surge of indignation. How dare he

  • When Best Friends Kiss   101-A Tense Dinner.

    (RORY’S POV) The tension in the room was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. Before we settled around the table, Aunt Ryan connected her phone to the home theatres and put on some classical music.“Some of my work stuff to brighten the mood.” She said shooting a bright smile to us all before she went about humming along to the tune as she set the table.Rosalie and I helped, even though what I really wanted to do was sit down beside Todd and glare at Dad, who was using icy stares to try and make Todd uncomfortable.Todd was alright. I noticed it when I settled down beside him. His shoulders were relaxed and he had a simple neutral expression that was very polite to me. My heart was swelling with pride when he gave me a quick smile as if to assure me that everything was fine.He did not look sad or angry even though Dad’s behavior was enough to make him feel either of the two in an excessive amount.“So,” Aunt Ryan started when we were minutes in to our dinner and the only sou

  • When Best Friends Kiss   100- Delicious Creamy Pasta!

    (RORY’S POV)Sure enough! It’s my dad! Stomping and marching angrilly towards Todd and I like we were criminals standing on his piece of land. Todd released his grip on me just as dad got to where we were and I in turn sprang to action, jumping in front of Todd so I could face dad.He looked like he wanted to punch Todd in the face or something was. He had a burning fiery look in his eyes, a look that told of his rage.“You scoundrel! Did I not warn you to stay away from my daughter?” Dad growled angrilly ignoring me standing in between them and still trying to get around me to Todd.“Dad! Please stop! He has done nothing wrong!” I begged.My voice was shaking, I did not sound confident. I sounded like I was deeply begging, just like I was but Dad looked down on me and after a growl, he pushed me to the side gently but firmly.“No please.” I said trying to get my footing but Dad was already over to Todd and he had gripped his collar jerking him hard.“Dad!” I screamed. “Please stop!”

  • When Best Friends Kiss   99- Hey Handsome!

    (RORY’S POV) Spending time with Aunt Ryan made me realize how much I missed her. Even though I have always called her aunt, she has felt more like a big sister to me. Might I remind you that Aunt Ryan and Nana Rue (My sweet grandma) are the people who made losing mum less harder to deal with. They surrounded us with so much love after her loss. We cried together, mourned together, healed together and laughed together. Dad was almost always away and sometimes I wonder what would have happened to us if my grandma and aunt were not in the picture. It’s almost dinner time and Aunt Ryan and I are playing a game of chess. She’s probably the only person of giving me a hard time with this game and thats because she taught me everything I know.Dad is seated on the couch with Rosalie. Rosalie is invested in our game as she keeps on reacting but as for Dad, I don’t know that he is. After what happened between us this morning, it think he is mad at me but trying o keep his calm because A

  • When Best Friends Kiss   98- Same Old Rory.

    (RORY’S POV) Guess what thoughts were in my head as I got home from school. You got that right. I was having nasty thoughts of Todd O’Connor. I just could not find a turn off button for it. This minute I am groaning in frustration as I realize that I am beginning to soak my panties again, the next minute something makes me start thinking about him again.What is happening to you Rory? You used to make fun of kids who can’t stop thinking or talking about physical intimacy and now I am one of them!I try to think of something else as I make my way past the hallway headed for the stairs. But then, I hear laughter and voices. I freeze in my steps. I recognize one of the voices clearly, it belongs to Rosalie and I think I recognise the second voice as well. Only, why would that person be here?I make my way carefully to the kitchen and step in to confirm my thoughts. Sure enough, it’s who I thought it was and I am so shocked that I am standing like a statue with widened eyes.Aunt Ryan

  • When Best Friends Kiss   97- A NEW FRIEND

    (RORY’S POV) I won’t exactly call myself a teacher’s favorite. That is because even though I am the smartest kid in school, a good number of my teachers don’t like me. They think I’m arrogant because I correct them or they think I am tiring because I ask them questions. Well, I don’t care what they think. I know that I am intimidating when it comes to educational things so there is absolutely no need for me to be upset about the obvious, which is that my smartness is rare and intimdiating.So when Mr Cory, my chemistry teacher asks me if I am sick, I know that Todd has defiantly let me lose it.I told him I was fine and then I heard him mutter;“Never did I think this day will come.” I ignore him and try to concentrate on what he is teaching but I just can’t.Now, I love chemistry. Even if I know everything that is being taught , I still like to listen to the class. I always as present as someone who is trying finger her grades up.But today was different. I was deeply submerge
