The high school gym, transformed by twinkling lights and flowing fabrics, looked like something out of a dream. In the very center of the dance floor, two figures moved with an effortless grace, stealing every eye. Their outfits, a prince and princess straight from a fairy tale, were so perfect they seemed to shimmer. Soon, a circle formed around them as everyone stopped to stare, mesmerized.

“That’s him. That’s definitely Todd,” Leslie hissed, her grip tightening on her punch cup. If it wasn’t made of sturdy glass, it would have shattered in her hand, leaving her palm sliced. Her eyes, filled with a chilling venom, followed the dancing couple. They were fixed on Todd, and a wave of betrayal and hurt crashed over her.

She was here, dressed in a sleek, alluring Catwoman costume – a black, form-fitting suit that hugged her athletic cheerleading figure, complete with pointy ears and a tail that swayed provocatively. She had expected Todd to show up in the hot Batman outfit she'd sent him

  • When Best Friends Kiss   135 - Do You Understand?

    The short drive to John’s place felt like a lifetime. The glow of the streetlights blurred into a continuous streak as I sped past them, the rumble of my engine the only thing that could match the frantic rhythm of my heart. The anger was a living thing inside me, a churning, red-hot wave that threatened to swallow me whole. Rory’s face, pale and tear-streaked, was burned into my mind, and with every beat of my heart, I felt the rage grow.I knew this was a bad idea. Every rational part of my brain screamed at me to turn back, to go home, to find a better way to deal with this. But the rational part of my brain was quiet now, a faint, distant whisper lost in the roar of my fury. John needed to know he couldn’t get away with this. He needed to understand that there were consequences for his actions.I pulled up to the school's football field, the bright stadium lights casting long, eerie shadows. The field was mostly empty, the party apparently not as large as Ethan had suggested. I s

  • When Best Friends Kiss   135 - Rory Needs You.

    (TODD’S POV) A single text from Rosalie was all it took. The words "Rory needs you. Now." flashed on my screen, and a cold dread settled in the pit of my stomach. My heart hammered against my ribs as I threw on a hoodie and grabbed my keys. Rosalie wasn't one to panic, so for her to send a message like that, something was seriously wrong. I jumped into my car, the engine roaring to life as I peeled out of my driveway, the short drive to Rory's house feeling like an eternity. I found them in the living room, a picture of quiet devastation. Rory was curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, her face pale and streaked with tears. Rosalie was sitting beside her, a protective arm around her sister. The sight of Rory, so small and broken, sent a jolt of white-hot anger through me. "What happened?" I asked, my voice coming out harsher than I intended. Rosalie looked up, her expression a mix of fury and sadness. "It was John. From the football team." My blood ran cold. "What did he

  • 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.
