More Than Best Friends のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

“Wakey, Wakey.” Clara hummed as she entered Elena’s room, tapping her legs and shaking her awake.“In the past days, you’ve been waking up so early I knew it would come down to this. Wake up, Elena; you’ll be late for school.” She added.Elena shifted in her bed, muttering incoherent words that meant she wanted to be left alone.“Matthew is already downstairs and he’s waiting for you.”The sleep in her eyes vanished immediately, seating up all of a sudden and coming to meet her mum’s eyes.“What!” She exclaimed, rubbing her eyes with her hand.Clara stared at her daughter and eyed her. She made a loud hiss before turning towards the door.“Matthew is not here. So get up and dress up before you get late. Silver called me, she’ll be here anytime from now.” She added and walked out.Elena fell back to the bed, heaving out an exhausted sigh for someone that just woke up.“Ahhhh!” She breathed out, sitting up and darting her eyes across the room.Her feet touched the ground, having another

“Where have you been?” Sarah asked Matthew as he placed his tray beside her, took his seat, and dropped his bag to the floor.“Went to the restroom.” He replied curtly.Sarah noticed something was wrong with him, and did not bother to press it again. She started a conversation with one of his friends but her mind was still on whatever was going on with him. It couldn’t be about Elena, they had both sorted that out and decided not to bring it up again. He told her while they were coming to school this morning that he'd like to get to know her more, and it was the best she had ever received in her entire life.Even thinking about it and replaying his exact words in her brain made a smile bloom on her face. She had liked him since the first year of school, always checking him out, wanting to get closer to him and be his friend. But everytime she tried to get closer to him, she was always there. She was a late bloomer, resumed later than the rest of them but he was her first friend. They

After an hour of napping in the bathroom, she finally came out of it. She was met with a well-laid bed with a brown bedspread and a tampon with new pants. “You’re the best mum.” She muttered to herself, walking closer to the bed also to meet a fresh set of pajamas on it. Wearing them slowly as she can, she spent another thirty minutes dressing up, blow drying her hair and sitting in front of her mirror, checking her reflection. She picked up the eyeliner and was just about to line her eyes when the door opened, turning to look at her mum who had a distraught look on her face, “What are you trying to do?” She said to her, her brows deepening on her face. “Nothing.” Elena replied, covering the lid slowly and putting it back in its place. Clara eyed her before walking inside, in her hand a tray of hot foods for her girl. She placed it in front of her, placing her hand on her hips after as she stared at Elena. “Start eating.”

“Sheeesh. You guys should relax.” He added before chuckling, turning to his food and digging back into it.“You guys look like you’ve been caught with something bad and will faint anytime from now on.”The bell rang instantly, and Matthew stood up, picked up his bag, and walked off.“Hey.”He heard them call out to him but decided not to answer.He proceeded to his locker to exchange the book in his bags, his mind going back to what his idiot friend might have want to say. He knew there was something, and he might have just stopped because he wanted to.He left to the class, shaking his head as he walked away. Too many things have been on his mind lately, and he was not even getting the hang of it again. He needed a good sleep or nap.Like always, the first place his eyes went to as he entered the class was Elena’s seat, his brows raised as he saw her talking to the new girl.“Thanks.” Elena said to the girl as she handed her a burger, throwing her a smile before unwrapping it.“It’s

“I’m sorry if it shocked you, but if you had picked up your call, I would have told you.”“And don’t you have any other friends you can spend the night with?” Elena questioned her.Gaby sighed as she picked up her bag, throwing it on Elena, which unbalanced her feet.“Next time, you’ll invite someone in before asking all kinds of questions,” Gaby said, pushing her aside and stepping into the house.There was a look of surprise on her face; the house was moderately furnished, cozy, and warm. She heaved a deep sigh, inhaling its delicious scent before finding her way to the living room.“I hate the day I met you,” Elena muttered under her breath and carried the bag, slamming the door close before dumping it on the floor.She walked to the living room and sat opposite Gaby, their eyes boring holes into each other’s as they stared.“You can’t stay here. I did not discuss anything like this with my mom before, and it would be a surprise. Just go home, and let’s plan this another day.” Elen
