**RORY'S POV**

Today is one of those days where my nerves are getting the best of me, and I *hate* it. I really do. There’s nothing worse than that twisting, gnawing feeling in your stomach, the way your hands won’t stop trembling no matter how much you try to steady them. It’s exhausting. It makes everything harder—like even the simplest things, like paying the cab driver, suddenly feel impossible.

The cab ride over was torture. Every red light felt like the universe conspiring against me. I kept rehearsing what I would say in my head, but the words kept getting tangled up, never sounding quite right. My knees bounced nervously the entire way, my fingers picking at invisible lint on my dress.

When we finally pulled up to the O'Connor house, my hands shook so badly the cab driver gave me a strange look as I fumbled with the payment. "You okay, miss?" he asked, his bushy eyebrows knitting together in concern.

"Fine," I lied, forcing a smile that probably looked more like a grimace. "

  • When Best Friends Kiss   134 - Between Sobs!

    (RORY'S POV)I stumbled out of the library, the setting sun doing nothing to warm the chill that had settled deep in my bones. The world felt muted, a dull, gray version of the vibrant one I'd been living in just moments ago. My backpack felt heavy, my books like lead weights dragging me down as I walked to take a cab.Throughout, I had my head leaning against the window pane without saying a word. “Are you okay kiddo?” The cab driver called feom in front and I gave him a weak smile and a weary nod.Then, I walked towards the door on autopilot, each step heavy and slow. The thought of Todd was a dull ache now, replaced by the sickening memory of John’s grip on my arm.When I finally got home, I barely managed to kick off my shoes before collapsing onto the couch. My sister, Rosalie, walked into the living room, her eyebrows furrowed with concern.“Hey, what’s wrong?” she asked, her voice soft. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”“I’m okay.” I mumbled trying to walk past her but then

  • When Best Friends Kiss   133 - Where Are You Todd?

    (RORY’S POV)I was having a great day, it felt like I was floating on the clouds. I was moving through the day smoothly because I could not stop thinking about last night I spent with Todd.How can I? Each time I close my eyes or try to have a moment to myself, the thought comes rushing in.I was thinking about it after me and Amanda’s last session before the end of the day.“ Hey, Rory, wait up!"I heard the voice call my name, and my stomach immediately dropped. It was John, the football captain. Amanda and I were just leaving the library, and my heart hammered in my chest. I tried to walk faster, but he was right behind me."Hey, John," I said, trying to sound casual as I turned to face him. He had that cocky, I-always-get-what-I-want smile on his face that made me want to shrink away."Why are you in such a hurry?" he asked, his eyes raking over me in a way that made me uncomfortable. I glanced around.I clutched my books tighter. "I have to get home," I replied, my voice a little

  • When Best Friends Kiss   132- This Is My Life Now!

    (RORY’S POV)“Rory.” Amanda’s voice made me snap out of my thoughts to face her.She had a questioning eyebrow raised at me and i managed a nervous chuckle at her. “I’m so sorry.” I said looking down at the book that was spread in front of me. This was so irresponsible of me! Right in the middle of a tutoring session, I was imagining the hot moments from last night. The moments that I shared with Todd. “Rory, you’re doing it again.” Amanda said with a sigh and this time I bit my lower lip with a sigh.“Okay. What’s going on? I noticed immediately but I was only trying to give you the benefit of the doubt.”“Oh it’s nothing.” I said shyly looking away. “I just had something on my mind.”Amanda peered closely at me and then gasped.“This is about a boy isnt it?” She wanted to know. “Don’t tell me it’s about mystery man!” She accused.“What?” I feigned but I think I made it more obvious because she immediately pushed the books away. "Rory! I know there’s something. You have been sta

  • When Best Friends Kiss   131- THE MORNING AFTER 2

    (RORY'S POV)The soft morning light streamed through the window, painting the room in a gentle, golden hue. I woke up to the sound of Todd’s phone alarm, its jarring melody a rude interruption to the peaceful tranquility of the moment. He groaned and reached for it, his movements slow and deliberate.“Time to go, sleepyhead,” he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep.I blinked my eyes open, a wave of confusion washing over me. For a moment, I forgot where I was, the events of the night before a distant, dreamlike memory. But then I saw him, his tousled dark hair and sleepy blue eyes, and it all came rushing back.I smiled, a genuine, unrestrained grin that lit up my face. He returned the smile, his eyes sparkling with a familiar mischief.“Good morning, Rory,” he said, leaning in to give me a soft, tender kiss. “Ready to face the world?”I giggled, the sound light and airy. “I don’t know. I kind of like this world we’re in right now.”He chuckled, his lips brushing against mine.

  • When Best Friends Kiss   130 - The Desperate Captain.

    (THIRD PERSON’S POV)The crisp morning air bit at the players' cheeks, a stark contrast to the sweat already slicking their foreheads. On the dewy field, the rhythmic thump of a football being kicked and the sharp whistle of Coach David cut through the silence. John, his shoulder-length golden-blonde hair tied back in a messy bun, called out commands to his teammates, his brown eyes scanning the field with an eagle's focus. As captain, he set the tone, and today, that tone was all business. They ran through drills, their movements a synchronized dance of strategy and brute force. After a final sprint that left everyone gasping for air, the coach blew his whistle long and hard."Alright, gentlemen, that's a wrap! Hydrate and hit the showers. We'll run through the new plays tomorrow."The team broke apart, their earlier intensity replaced with tired camaraderie. John grabbed his water bottle and walked with his two best friends, Marcus and Liam, toward the locker room."Man, I'm dead,"

  • When Best Friends Kiss   129 - Rory’s Morning After!

    (RORY’S POV) When I woke, the first thing I registered was the soft, rumpled linen against my cheek, and the pleasant, unfamiliar weight of an arm draped across my waist. A slow, contented sigh escaped me. My mind was already replaying the highlights of the night before, like a favorite film on loop. It wasn’t a single memory, but a collection of memories. Every flashback was a wave of pure, unfiltered feeling, crashing through me and leaving me breathless all over again.A silly, unstoppable smile tugged at the corner of my lips, and I bit down on my lower lip to stop it, but it was only a failed effort. My stomach was now a nesting place for a thousand full-winged butterflies in a dizzying swarm of joy and excitement. I had never known my own body could feel such things.A warm breath caressed the nape of my neck, and a low voice rumbled in the quiet of the room. “What are you grinning about?”I gasped, a loud, undignified sound that made me instantly flush with embarrassment.
