Novel & Cerita Lenu My Brilliant Friend

“You mean, no hesitation?” He smiled faintly. “That too.” When Lena stepped out into the rain, the world felt brighter. Wilder. Like her atoms were rearranged somehow. She’d just spent two hours being seen really seen and for the first time in a long time, she didn’t feel invisible. Then her phone buzzed. BESTIE MIA: “So how’d it go? Did he make you strip or what?” LENA: “Define strip.” MIA: “OMG YOU DID IT.”

When Lenny suddenly got up from her place on the couch and walked towards Julia, I wondered what she was up to. “Hello. I'm Lenny. Madelyn’s best friend," she said, holding out her hand with a wide grin. Julia took few steps until she was standing close to Lenny’s face then said, “I don’t care.” She sidestepped her to walk towards me as Lenny giggled. “I'm so sorry about my friend, Julia. Lenny can be too much at times. But I promise she means no harm—or insults,” I added hastily for good measure. “Right Lenny?”

His rich brown slanted eyes and finely chiseled jaws accentuated his facial contour and it took me a while to realize that the man was none other than my best friend. "Gerald?" Surprise flared in my whisper as I recoiled out of his arms. He was back in the pack? Oh! He must have come to celebrate with me but look at who is celebrating with a view of her cheating fiance. He gave me a sympathetic look and then whispered. "Let's just leave, Beth." Tears burned the corner of my eyes, blurring my vision as I turned away from him. No, I couldn't. If I tried to make it past the lobby, I would just collapse. This was too much for me.

Then I heard the front door slam, his car starting and driving away, and then nothing. * * * In the morning, my best friend Annie’s name lit up my phone before I'd even woken up properly. Her first message was just a link. The second message said: “Don't be mad that I'm the one telling you.” I sat up and clicked the link. It was a picture of two figures on a beach, with the sunset behind them, and white sand all around. This was the kind of scenery you'd see on a honeymoon brochure. Brian had his arm around Lena's waist. They were both laughing at something.

"Hi, Del. Where are you from? I've been looking for you since yesterday. Why did you disappear, huh?" Delmar was silent and just looked at Brisa with a sad look. For eighteen years of friendship, Brisa can read if now Delmar is not in good condition. Even though his best friend didn't say anything. "Wait a moment." Brisa stopped the person who was decorating her nails. Nails that have been colored silver and will now be decorated with small white gems.

Every employee in the company loves her as they started greeting her which she answered back with a genuine smile "Ma'am!" Rasheed secretary said with a big smile on her face "Hi Janet! How are you doing?" "I'm fine ma..how about you?" "I'm good too" "Good to hear that ma. And I hope from now on, we'll be seeing you frequently? Your friend has been giving the boos a habitual visit these days, which is so confusing" "What? My friend? Which of my friend?" It can't be Zulaiha, could it?

I admit. Lena suddenly staring at me, she removed her gaze from the ceiling. “Really?” She asks curiously. “Yeah, of course stupid… think! How can a girl who gets punched in her face could invite you to her house for dinner if she didn’t like you!” I say. Lena laughs because she wasn't realize my motive, she shook her head knowing that I’m smarter than her. “You are such brilliant shifty woman I’ve ever known” She laughs softly, wrapping her hands against my waist.

“Baby, please. Come home. Bella is nothing. Don’t do this. Tell him I’ll do what he wants. He doesn’t have to pull the share.” Bella snapped, “Stop begging like that.” “Shut up,” he told her. Adrian’s mouth brushed my ear. “Come on my hand. Let him hear what he never gave you.” That was what broke me. I came so hard my vision went white. I bit my own fist and it still wasn’t enough. My body clamped around his fingers in waves, one after the other, and I made a sound I didn’t recognize. My legs gave out. He held me up and kept moving through it until I was gasping and useless, still twitching on his hand.

They looked at her with pleading eyes. "We're so sorry, it won't happen again" they plead. "Oh, it won't happen alright, cause you're leaving this school right now. Bell baby, get back and learn, okay?" Ethan said. I nod and walked back to the class. Everyone stared at me like I'm an alien. I sat back. Nina and Katie stared at me in awe. I didn't know have an overprotective brother and his best friend would be so good. THIRD PERSON Cafeteria was filled up, everyone was hungry today, but the good part right now is that Isabella and her friends were seated closer to Quincy's table. They see them.

My roomie asked and I shrugged getting up, "I don't know her name.. but she'll pay.." "And you don't know her.. yet you're sure she'll pay.." "I gave her my numbers.." Luna, my best friend laughed, "fuuck.. I didn't know my best friend was so dumb! Morrra... this person probably ran for their life.. do you know how expensive this camera is..."
