Sarah says, scolding Mercedes. Eiana's POV I raised my glass, clinking it together with my friends as we sat at the bar waiting for my best friend, Brooks, to get here. "What is taking him so long? I want to party already!" Shannon says as she took a gulp of her martini, downing it in one go. I chuckled, looking at my phone light up with a notification from Brooks. "Where are you guys? I just got here. This place is overcrowded." He types, making my smile widen.

Alex found himself in a bustling city for a week-long business conference. Amidst the sea of faces at the welcome reception, he noticed Dawn, her vibrant energy illuminating the room. They struck up a conversation over their shared enthusiasm for local cuisine, and soon they were exchanging stories about their favorite travel destinations. Their outings became a routine during the evenings. They visited quirky cafes, attended art exhibitions, and explored the city's vibrant nightlife. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, seamlessly transitioning from light-hearted jokes to deep discussions about life and ambitions.

Lucas said in mock agony, striking dramatic queen gestures as the others chuckled at his antics. “What makes your friends your best friends?” Kate asked, still curious. “Well, they’re just different from all of you,” I gestured helplessly, unsure how to explain without sounding harsh. “In what way?” Kate prodded deeper. “Well, in our interests, the conversations we have,” I tried to generalize, hoping they wouldn’t press me for more details. “For example?” Kate asked again, her curiosity piqued. “We talk about... meaningful stuff.” I tried to keep it vague, hoping they wouldn’t feel insulted.

After five years together, Abby Young finally said she was ready to take me home to meet her parents. However, on the day of the visit, she asked my friend Gene Burke to pretend to be her boyfriend and told me to tag along for the free meal. “Abby, I’m your boyfriend! You’re supposed to introduce me to your parents today!” She did not even look up. “Gene just went through a breakup last month. He wants to know what it feels like to meet a girlfriend’s parents, so let him have this one.” I refused to move. Gene sighed. “Forget it. I was only joking. You two should go.” He started to get out of the car, but Abby held him back. “Stay where you are. You’re not going anywhere.” Then, she pu

"Create backup event plans B, C, D, and even E. God forbid we ever need any of these plans, but it's important that these plans need to be there. For 'just in cases'." People closed heads close together, speaking in low voices to discuss a side point. Becky didn't mind. Then she saw Logan brought up his gaze to face her, blue eyes piercing deep into her soul. "What are your other plans?" He asked. Another smile formed on Becky's face, a comforting, pleasing one. Then a relieved sigh. She hadn't messed up. "I'll be sure to send them in to you before closing hours—if it's not too late." ✩★✩

On a normal school day with no exams lurking around, she would have busier herself with filling her ears with the latest gist going around school, Sisi was always there to inform; either the latest couples or the latest cheats or who got preggy or had an abortion or who lost her virginity or passed out on the streets the last Friday night party… there was always something to talk about. “Joan!” She turned around, recognizing the voice, Selena, Keisha and Sisi were running towards her. She waited until they got close to her before inquiring into what made them so breathless. “No school.” Selena panted out, falling to the ground at her feet, Sisi and Keisha followed. “And…” she probed. “What?”

He asked, standing at my side and my gaze met Sean and he winked at me, playfulness in his eyes. I nodded. "Yeah, I guess. What are you doing here Dean?" He broke into a wide smile. "Oh, I made some friends at camps and we decided to come to the mall. I guess I will go find them now, bye Dr. Sean. See you later" he waved at the doctor and ran off while I rolled my eyes and turned to the cashier. "That would be 3000$"

" We had this really awkward dinner after you left that night. And an argument... I guess... I don't really know what that was... But I think it's okay to say that I can't stand being around the guy anymore. I need to get away from him" "Did you try having a conversation with him... I mean a normal one... Did you let him know you wanted to be friends with him" Phoebe asked. "I tried... I tried to talk to him" Kimberly texted. "But the man isn't human. And I don't want to be friends with him. I never said I wanted to be friends. I just thought it would be nice if we got along and not kill each other with stupid silence and awkward conversations but now I can't even handle that. The man is fre

Jacob jokingly asked his friend. “I was talking to my mother.” Jacob just grinned at his friend. His tone was defensive. Even though they only met on campus, they became close friends. He often catches him staring at his cellphone but doesn’t click or reply to whoever messaged him. It is also common for someone to call, and he does not answer when the caller’s name is seen. Out of curiosity, he peeked at it while his friend was reading. He even laughed because he didn’t notice him behind him, and he caught him reading the sender’s message back and forth.
