Between Friends Novel Novels & Stories

Those three words left me completely shocked. Are we? Are we not? Do I want to be friends? What will happen if we do? What will people think? “I—um. “I don’t know,” I say, answering honestly. Adrian nods and scratches his neck, embarrassed. “Do you want to be friends? ” I ask, playing with my necklace, my nervous habit. Adrian looks at me surprised. I wouldn’t mind being friends with Adrian; I don’t have friends. My only friend moved away in fifth grade. Plus it would give me an excuse to look at him. “Yeah, sure,” he says, a small smile growing on his face. “Adrian, I’m—oh, who’s this? ” Skye Bennett Whitmore, Adrian's twin sister, walks up to us, giving us a look. “Skye, this is Celeste Am

He flicked a glance at me, just a twitch at the lips, almost a smile. “I’m not here to mess up your thing,” he muttered, loud enough for me to hear him. He leaned in closer, voice low. “Just figured they could use backup. Friends don’t leave friends floundering.” Friends. That word hit the inside of my chest in a way I couldn't explain.

"Josh, my life is a complete disaster right now. I'm temporarily homeless and I just discovered my entire family is built on lies. I'm not exactly girlfriend material." "Who said anything about girlfriends?" He grinned. "How about we start with friends? Friends who happened to have amazing chemistry one night but can also just talk over coffee." I found myself smiling despite everything. "Friends don't usually see each other naked on the first night they meet." "We're unconventional friends." The waiter appeared, and Josh ordered us both coffee without asking. Somehow, he'd already figured out how I liked it. "Tell me about your job," he said once the waiter left.

“And what do we have here? A real couple.” I quickly disentangled our hands. “No, we’re just…” Friends? Crushes? Lovers? Enemies? Wait, what were we? “Friends,” Noel supplied for me. “We’re just friends.” It was the truth. Even if friends didn’t sleep naked in each other’s beds, nor knew the way the other person tasted. Friends didn’t eat each other out until stars exploded in their eyes. So why did I feel a twinge of hurt about the truth?

The answer made everyone smile. Then she hesitated. Interesting. Very interesting. “I think I made real friends.” The room became quieter. Because somehow that mattered enormously. More than grades. More than awards. More than achievements. Real friends. The kind who stayed. The kind who remembered things. The kind who became part of your life story. “Tell us about them,” Eleanor said. Nova smiled. “Emma explains astronomy even when nobody asks.” Reasonable. “Sophie pretends not to care about people but secretly cares about everyone.”

Mom got permission from the alpha to appreciate his son with a meal for saving his daughter and he agreed since mom was one of his commendable workers. Aiden came over, and brought his friend along who had insisted on coming- Ryan. And that was how a long time friendship was built in two days? I chuckled out loud and Aiden raised his brows, before shaking them. "You've been lost in your thoughts for days now. Care to share whatever is going on in there?" He asked in a mocking tone. I only shook my head, with a scoff. I snatched the book from his hands before he could realize. "It's a ridiculous book, I know, you don't have to plaster it all over my head" I said with a low hiss, tucking the b

Opening it, I was greeted by the vibrant presence of my friends, Sasha and Anthonia. "Sandra!" Sasha exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "We're here to rescue you from your bookish solitude!" Anthonia giggled and added, "Yeah, we couldn't let you spend another minute lost in the pages while all the hot guys in college are out there!" I laughed, feeling the warmth of their friendship surround me. "Well, who am I to resist such a rescue mission? Please, come in!" As they entered, Sasha began her lively narration. "So, ladies, you won't believe the latest gossip. There's a new batch of guys in our college, and they are fine!"

But as fast as it came, it turned into a frown, "No. Tell me your problem, I'm going to be your future brother -not by blood- soon, Vanchel." With eyes widened, I blinked a lot of times before clearing my throat. "Okay." "Thank you." He nodded, "Go on." "Let's just say that I read a book where the main character loves her best friend. But her best friend loves another girl and asked help from his best friend and his best friend helped him and they got together and his best friend got sad and yet every time the best friend got a rocky relationship with the person he loves, he seeks help to his best friend and his best friend is always there for him and it's unfair."

He thought for some time then shook my hand. "Okay." "So it's a deal." "Yes. But I have never had any friends before. What does friend do?" Why doesn't he have friends?
