Lenu My Brilliant Friend Novels & Stories

Eighteen years ago….. Kaleb Luthor hurried on. He was on an errand for his father, walking down the gravel path that cut from his house when his eyes caught something. He stopped and stared for a moment. It was his sister's friend, Sasha. Sasha Sullivan. She was hanging upside down from an old tree, her skinned knees hooked over a low thick branch. She was swinging back and forth, so her long braids dangled like ropes. The whole time she hummed while she blew the biggest pink bubble he had ever seen.

When they reached the kitchen, Lily finally let go of her hand and threw open the pantry door with dramatic flair. “Guess what I still keep stocked just for you?” she announced, her eyes sparkling. She pulled out a bright red bag of kettle-cooked salt and vinegar chips. Maya’s jaw dropped. Then she let out a shaky laugh that turned into a sound halfway between a giggle and a sob. Her hand flew up to her chest as she felt tears sting her eyes. “Lily… you didn’t have to…” she whispered, her voice trembling. Lily stepped forward, serious now, and hugged her again. “Of course I did,” she said firmly. “I missed my best friend. You’re the only person in the world who would finish these with me wit

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!

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.

“Miss Lena, this is my sister in law, Prisha. Prisha, our soon-to-be, Luna, Miss Lena.” Her chocolatey brown eyes light up at the sight of me as she looks at me through her long dark lashes. “Hi!” she greets me, “I hope my brother has not been boring you. He does have a tendency to talk about the most boring of things. The best thing to do is learn to block out the drone of his voice, or simply tell him to shut up.”

For a brief moment, it was just Lena and me. I swallowed hard, my voice trembling. "Lena, please… you're my best friend, you don’t have to do this." She turned back to me, her lips curling into a cruel smile. "Oh, but I do." Then, slowly, I watched her pick up the knife, twirling it between her fingers with a chilling glint in her eyes. "Even if they catch me, at least I’ll have the satisfaction of watching you die." Her eyes gleamed with madness as she raised the blade.

My blood boils when I hear Alpha Magnus say that, but I blame Alec. If not for his stupidity and recklessness, Alpha Magnus wouldn’t be talking about Aria as though she were a commodity when Aria is by far the most beautiful woman in the room. She always was and always will be. Right from the onset, I knew I wasn’t supposed to fall for my best friend’s sister because that would be like breaking the bro code, but I couldn’t help it. I mean, have you seen Aria? Even from childhood, he has the kindest heart I have ever seen. Her long red hair, as fierce as her temper.

Doesn't he want to see him? "Wow. That's sweet." - Mr. Lereño commented. He looked at Athalia .— "You have a good friend, Ms. Ramos. Keep him. There're only a few like Mr. Sebastian, who have not forgotten a friend over time." he said with a mischievous smile on his lips. Athalia just smiled. She couldn’t help but get annoyed. Doesn't she agree with what Mr. Lereño said? "Can I excuse myself? I'm just going to the comfort room." Thalia excused.

“ I'm speechless. ” “ You know Mira, sometimes I find myself being jealous of the friendship between Joseph and yourself. It's too beautiful to be true. ” “ You think so? ” “ I don't just think so! I know so! ” “ Ah! But I think our friendship is just like any normal one out there. ” “ It's far from being just normal, girl. ” “ Didn't realize. ” “ Um. Your relationship made me remember a book titled Depressed ; love yourself. How close the female lead was to her brother. They were closer than married couples! ”

I gave a faint smile and sighed, focusing my attention elsewhere. "Haven't you ever heard that spying is ugly?" a voice blew into my ears, making me jump startled from the fright. I looked back immediately, and when I saw who it was, I rolled my eyes. It was Bryan, John's best friend. "Didn't you have a less cliché phrase than that?" I retorted, making the most bored face I could manage. - Good evening, Lena. Enjoying the party?" he stopped in front of me with a cocky smile on his face. I took a deep breath.

I did that and immediately she followed me. “My phone’s charging right now but I’ll follow back when I open the app” I said “Okay, it was nice meeting you Miley. I’m glad we’re friends now. Hope to see you soon!” She exclaimed happily as I watched her walk out of the room causing me to smile feeling warm at my newfound friendship. Liv was sweet and I agree she’s someone I need while I navigate this newfound reality of mine.
