RORY’S POV

My stomach clenched as I spotted Leslie by her locker down the hall. Todd was completely oblivious to our locked stare as he scrolled through his phone embraced.

As we drew closer, Leslie slammed her locker shut, the metallic clang made a very sharp noise. Her eyes flicked to Todd’s hand which held mine and then her eyes flicked to me, a sharp, icy glare that held the sting of yesterday's argument. If looks could kill then I would be chopped liver by now because oh, how Leslie glare at me.

Without a word, Leslie turned sharply and walked away, her shoulders stiff. I didn’t know how to feel.

On one hand, I felt relieved because for a moment I thought she was going to storm towards me and cause a big scene.

On the other hand, Leslie’s eyes held some kind of underlying threat that bothered me, I can’t lie.

“Hey.” Todd whispered interrupting my thoughts and my head snapped up and looked at him.

“Are you okay?” His brows were furrowed as he looked down at me in confusion

  • When Best Friends Kiss   125 - I love You So Much!

    (TODD’S POV) The drive to the lake house felt like the longest journey of my life, even though it was only about an hour outside of town. Every mile was a slow burn of anticipation, a countdown to finally being alone with Rory, away from the prying eyes of school, the teasing of her sister, and the well-meaning but utterly mortifying advice of my mom. Rory was sitting beside me, a soft, ethereal presence, looking impossibly beautiful in that navy blue dress. I kept glancing at her, stealing glances at her profile illuminated by the passing streetlights, her ginger curls a luminous halo against the dark headrest. My hand, still tingling from our kiss in the driveway, longed to reach for hers, but I held back, wanting to prolong the delicious suspense of the evening. “Are we almost there?” Rory asked, her voice soft, a hint of playful impatience in her tone. Her beautiful eyes, bright with curiosity, turned to me. I chuckled, a low rumble in my chest. “Almost, Candy. Just a few more

  • When Best Friends Kiss   124 - Our Magical Night!

    (TODD’S POV)“You are the most beautiful person on the planet.” I said. The porch light cast a soft, ethereal glow around her, turning her into something utterly breathtaking. My breath hitched in my throat, a sudden, sharp gasp stealing the air from my lungs. I knew Rory was beautiful, I’d known it for years, seen it in the quiet intensity of her focus, the soft curve of her smile, the way her ginger curls caught the sunlight. But the Rory standing before me now, framed in the doorway, was something else entirely.The navy blue dress, simple yet elegant, shimmered faintly as she moved, hugging her figure in a way that was both modest and incredibly alluring. It was a new side of her, a bolder, more confident Rory, and it hit me like a physical blow. Her ginger curls, usually pulled back or tamed, cascaded around her shoulders in soft, bouncy waves, framing a face that was somehow both familiar and strikingly new. And her eyes, those captivating emerald eyes, sparkled with a dazzling

  • When Best Friends Kiss   123 - The Most Beautiful!

    (RORY’S POV)“Okay, Rory Davis! What’s the dress code disaster update? I’m ready for this fashion intervention!” Amanda’s voice crackled through the phone, full of her usual vibrant energy, instantly pulling me into her world.“You have no idea, Amanda!” I exclaimed, grabbing a pair of dark jeans and a comfortable sweater from my closet. “Everything in here screams ‘library,’ not ‘special night out.’ What if Todd’s taking me somewhere fancy? What if he’s expecting me to wear something fancy and I just look… drab?” My panic was genuine. My wardrobe, carefully curated for comfort and anonymity, felt woefully inadequate for a romantic evening with Todd.“Drab? Rory, please. You could wear a potato sack and still look amazing with those ginger curls and those hazel eyes,” Amanda scoffed, but then her voice turned serious. “Okay, put me on speaker. And start pulling out everything you own that isn’t a hoodie or sweatpants. We’re going to find something.”I set my phone down on my dresser,

  • When Best Friends Kiss   122 - Getting Ready For Tonight!

    (RORY’S POV)“I still can’t believe this!” Rosalie exclaimed, her eyes, wide with theatrical shock, meticulously following my every movement as I tried on yet another dress in front of the full-length mirror. She had been perched on my bed for what felt like an eternity, offering a running commentary that swung wildly between disbelief and giddy excitement.I groaned, a sound of profound exhaustion, and smacked my forehead with the palm of my hand. “Come on, Rosa. It’s been more than thirty minutes since I told you my plans for tonight. Can you just please get over it already?” I begged, my voice muffled, then turned my attention back to my reflection, scrutinizing the dress with a critical eye. It was a pale blue, rather shapeless, and definitely not the ‘special night out’ vibe.Rosalie uncrossed her legs, her bare feet hitting the carpet with a soft thud, but her gaze remained fixed on me, still radiating an almost comical level of shock. “I just can’t get over it!” she announced,

  • When Best Friends Kiss   121 - With My Princess!

    (TODD’S POV)The key slid into the lock, a satisfying click echoing in the quiet entryway of our house. I pushed the door open, a wide, irrepressible grin plastered across my face. The scent of my mom’s cooking, a comforting mix of spices and simmering sauce, hit me immediately, but even that couldn’t dampen the buzzing excitement that coursed through my veins. It was almost six. Almost time. Rory.“I’m home!” I called out, my voice probably a little too loud, betraying the sheer elation bubbling inside me. I tossed my backpack onto the couch, peeling off my practice jersey as I walked towards the kitchen, already picturing Rory’s face when she saw what I had planned for tonight.My mom, Tessie O’Connor, was at the stove, stirring a pot, her back to me. She was humming softly, a familiar tune from an old R&B song. As I got closer, she slowly turned, a dishtowel slung over her shoulder, and the moment her eyes met mine, a knowing smirk spread across her face. It wasn’t a questioning sm

  • When Best Friends Kiss   120 - All For Rory!

    (TODD’S POV)“Gotta go. See you soon, Candy.”I ended the video call with Rory, the warmth of her smile, the dazed look in her eyes, still imprinted on my mind. My heart was practically doing somersaults in my chest. God, she was beautiful, even with a hint of blush on her cheek from earlier. The roses, the custom pick-up, the mystery date… I wanted to do everything to make her feel like the princess she was.A low growl from beside the court pulled me back to reality. Our coach, a man whose patience was thinner than my basketball shorts, was glaring at me, arms crossed, his face a thundercloud.“O’Connor! Phone away! You’re on my court, not a dating show!” he barked, his voice echoing in the otherwise focused gym.“Sorry, Coach!” I yelled back, quickly shoving my phone into my gym bag. My cheeks felt hot, but I couldn’t wipe the idiotic grin off my face. It was hard to be chastised when I felt this good.I sprinted back onto the court, the squeak of my sneakers on the polished wood a
