Lahat ng Kabanata ng More Than Best Friends: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

“Wait, what!” Elena screeched out.Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Sarah, darting them towards Matthew too.“So you guys have a book date, and you won’t invite me in?” She added before concentrating on Matthew.“Elena, you don’t like books. Why would we want to invite..”“Because it’s time I can spend with my friends, have fun, talk and gist. Why won’t you invite me in?” She cut in, eyeing Matthew before facing Sarah.“I’m coming with you. My mum has a late shift in her office, so that I can come with you.” She added before turning back to her food.Matthew glanced at Sarah, mouthing a ‘sorry’ to her before turning to look at Elena. Sarah had mistakenly asked about the booking date they were supposed to go together this afternoon, and Elena had heard it, bringing her to ask about it. It was supposed to be an alone thing, but with Elena knowing now, she won’t stop bothering them until they carry her along.“What time is it? Is it immediately after school, or we’ll go home to c

Elena woke up as early as she could the next morning, going with her routine and cooking breakfast, but things were a little different that morning. Her mother had woken up earlier than usual and met her the minute she finished packing Matthew's breakfast.With raised eyebrows, she walked up to her daughter and touched her suddenly, causing Elena to jump off in shock.“Mum, you can’t come at my back like that!” She yelled out.“And why do you have plenty of food today again?” Clara said, ignoring what she had just said.Elena eyed her, walking back to the box and tying it up before carrying it off.“Matthew and I are eating lunch together with one of my friends. Not Silver, though, but we’re eating together.” She replied without turning back to face her mother.“And you’re taking my food for that!”“It’s not like I cook every day, and you have only me! So let me take it for today!” She yelled back before entering her room and shutting the door.Dropping the box on her reading table, s

After the date Elena organised for them, everything went down the drain starting the next day, and it was evident to Matthew that nothing was going as it was before. Sarah had told him to come to pick her up first, and Elena had said the same. With no option, he had told them to always meet at Elena’s place, where he’ll pick both of them up. And since then, Elena has bumped into all of their events, starting from their lunch together that afternoon to every book thing they planned.He had no idea how she got to know about everything, but she appeared everywhere. It was a week now and even trying to get a hold of her to make a conversation was very hard. She stepped down the car immediately when they got to her place and didn’t even make conversation with him. And there’s Sarah who has been trying to hide the disgust on her face for the past week but this morning was just so clear and evident.“I’m taking the front seat.” She said, walking past Elena and getting in.Elena, whose attent

“Tell me, Elena, what am I to you?” Matthew added, his eyes almost bulging out of its socket.“Why would you be asking me something like that? You’re my friend! You’ve always been my friend!” Elena replied, staring directly into his eyes.“That’s the problem, Elena. I’m always the friend, the cool guy that follows you everywhere. The guy you push around to everyone, acting as if you control me…“I don’t control you. You know that well!” She cut him off.“Then tell me why you keep barging into all my conversations with her! Tell me… why you think it’s normal for you to do everything and anything when it comes to me.”“You don’t care what I think, you don’t even bother to ask me! I’m pretty sure everyone in this school thinks you own me, and they come to you anytime they have something for me! Isn’t that so!” Matthew added, clenching his jaw and unclenching it at the same time.“But you know what?” He said as he ran his fingers through his hair, darting his eyes from Elena and looking a

Elena got home with her eyes red and puffy, walking straight to her bedroom and banging the door closed. Her eyes itched at the sight in front of her, make ups on the bed, some of her underwear also on it and some other things. She had left the house on a happy feeling this morning and didn’t expect half of everything to happen. Cut it; she didn’t expect even one heck of it to happen.Who knew Sarah would decide to voice out her stupid opinion? Who knew Matthew would yell at her? Who knew she would come home hungry and looking like a ghost? She didn’t even know she would start to think she might have feelings for Matthew this same day?“Ahhhh!”She yelled out, her head raising sounds of alarm in her head.She had come home with the bus today, avoided all interactions with everyone and anyone and stayed on her own. Thank God for her mum forcing on her a hoodie this morning because of her little skirt; she wouldn’t have been able to get through the bus without anyone noticing how red he
