I Just Want To Be Friends Novels & Stories

For once, I want to be a regular 23-year-old—spend the day with my friends, relax, and do whatever it is that 23-year-olds do. I text my friend Jess letting her know I have a free day so we can hang out. I also reply to Nick, asking if we can meet up to talk. I plan to be clear with him about where I stand, letting him know that I’m only interested in a friendship and nothing more.

I say, "we can be friends." As long as it's not something bad.

"Since you are my boyfriend's friend, of course I'll consider you as my friend as well. Do not hesitate to contact me whenever you want. I'm always one chat away, Irene." She bids goodbye after saying that while I returned to my work. She didn't even bother to listen to my thanks. Whether she hears it or not, I'm truly grateful for the offer she gives to me. From my 0 friendlist, there are now five. I don't aim to have plenty of friends... All I want is to have a true friend, whether I turn my back or not. Maybe it sounded weird that it was a big deal for me to be friends with someone like me. I just experienced it now, and I don't see anything wrong if I want to flex it, right?

Jordan's eyebrows twitched slightly as he said, “Okay. Hit me.” “Okay.” Isioma breathed softly, holding his hand carefully, while her eyes stayed glued to his own eyes. “Look, Jordan, I know you know that I'm really into you, even though I often behave as if I'm kidding about falling for you and all that stuff. But, um, the naked truth is that I really, really like you, Jordan, and I've been thinking if we could be more than friends. You know?”

Not anymore. ' If they are really shy, don't try to become friends with them in just one day - take it slow.' What's with this website and being slow? It seems like it's their favorite word, but Noah didn't like it. 'Be yourself rather than trying to be cool.' That's not a problem because Noah was cool, period. So being himself was cool by default. ' Just make friends, be calm, polite, and interested in what they have to say.' Well... Noah is always interested in whatever Aiden has to say or do.

Joseph said in a serious tone. I didn’t know where this was going, but I felt like it was going to freak me out judging from what Joseph just told me. I nodded in hesitation. “Sara wants to be your friend just like I am. She wants to get to know you and try to help you with adjusting to your new life. I think it would be nice to have more than one friend, don’t you think?” I hesitate for a few seconds before answering “Yes, I think so” I look at her and find her watching me in anticipation “We can be friends, but…I… I don’t want to… talk about… the past” I stuttered nervously.

“Huh?” He grinned mischievously. “Nothing. I just like you. You’re a nice person. I don’t really have many friends, most people only want something from me. So, let’s be friends.” I looked at him. Friends? I didn’t have many either. There was Stella and Tristan, though I wasn’t even sure friend was the right word for Tristan. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to have one more. Even if my brain was screaming that being friends with my friend-with-benefits’ brother was a terrible idea.

“Sadie, no. It’s okay. I kind of want to be alone. I appreciate you being here for me.” “Anytime. That’s what friends are for.”

It would be better for both of us to get this over with. "I just want to be your friend. Just a good friend, nothing more." He said and I felt tongue-tied, unable to say something, anything. I just kept silent. Maybe it was because no one had ever come to me or asked to be my friend. Sabrina's friendship was out of coincidence and apart from her, I was despised by every other person. "What do you say to lunch tomorrow? At eagle's eye?" He asked when he sensed my silence. "Okay," I answered, shocking even myself.

"You have to be snappy about what you want to say. I have someone waiting for me at home" "Fine, I'll go straight to the point then.." She paused and cleared her throat. ".. I just want you to know that I regret everything I did.. If only there was a way to turn back the hands of time. I hope there's a way for us to start all over again, as friends. I want nothing more than just friendship with you Joel.. Can we be friends again?" She asked. Joel scoffed loudly.. "No we can't! The least we can do is to remain strangers. You don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are.. It's simple"
