Novel & Cerita My Brilliant Friend Lila

"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.

Leila walked in, just arrived from shopping, and glanced at my friend, Jane. "Jane? What are you doing here? Did you tell your best friend about our compñetion? I won the best portrait, and you…you are still a loser." Leila's shoulder shook as she laughed about it. “You know, Lily? We are not in high school anymore, and I don’t tolerate bullies like you.” Jane pushed my sister away with all force, and Lela sarcastically scoffed, “You crazy loser, “ I smiled at Leila, “Are you talking to yourself, Lily?”

Lyla said almost crying when she couldn't contain her guilt any more. Lily was taken aback by Lyla's words. "Lyla, why? Did I do anything wrong?" Lily asked in confusion. Lyla snapped and with the little strength she had, yelled at Lily. "That is the problem, Lily. You are too kind, too caring, too perfect. Can't you do something evil even for once in your life? Leave me alone. I am bad, I am evil...." Lyla continued to yell at Lily but her voice trailed off as she began to pant for air.

But Julia had always been an ally, a shining beacon of kindness among the sea of hatred that frequently surrounded her. Lila mustered her bravery and approached her buddy, gently patting her on the shoulder. Julia looked up, her expression softening into a loving smile as she recognized Lila. "Hey, Lila," she said, her voice full of real compassion. "How's your day going?" Lila's shoulders slumped as she grabbed for the tattered notebook tucked safely within her rucksack. Her fingers flew across the pages as she quickly scribbled her reply. 'Not that wonderful. Your brother and his mates bullied me again this morning.

Lila was one to never lose a game, so she was sure that this was going to be a piece of cake. "A lot of people are interested in that two day cruise ehn" Lila said as they stepped back stage. "So it seems" "Well, none of them have the same passion and reason as I do, so they can definitely not win it" she announced, encouraging herself. They weaved through the crowd and stopped in the middle of the room. Lila's eyes caught the eyes of the girl they had met that night, the girl she assumed was Levi's girlfriend. Her eyes sparkled with recognition as she waved and walked to them.

Lila trailed off, looking at Kyle regretfully as if she would cry if he didn't help her. Kyle let out a heave as he touched Lila's hand in her lap. All the three sitting on the other side of the table— Jasmine, Jojo and Mari— saw his hand movement too. "This beautiful crazyhead here is my most valuable, amazing, always available for me, sometimes cute and sometimes crazy, my forever partner in crime... My closest friend, Lila. Lila Calvin. She's a social media influencer and one of the best advisers I have in life." Kyle said with a genuine tug at his lips.

Clean. I sat on the floor and let myself breathe for a second. Then my phone rang. Lila. My best friend in New York. Also a fellow mafia heiress, though with far better taste in men. “Hey girl!” she chirped, her voice spilling through the speaker like sunshine. “Ready to go shopping? Sorry we’re not doing a joint party this year—blame my boyfriend. He’s insisting I host it separately. I think he’s planning something. Maybe a proposal? I mean, it has been two years and he’s been acting all weird and romantic…”

Matty walked Briella to the podium and tapped her elbow lightly to stop her in front of the microphone, and Lila marveled at the small system they had developed with one another. “My name is Briella,” she began, and the entire gathering went so quiet you could hear the wind move wistfully through the trees. “My friends call my Brie,” she explained and then Azreal’s worst nightmare began to unfold, “she’s blind,” someone yelled from the crowd and as Azreal began to growl Briella touched her father's arm but addressed the crowd.

“Only until I realised, you’d meant it. What child feels guilty for eating something they love then throwing up?” As was often the case, I could feel the dark clouds lifting. Lilia had the power to turn my rainiest days into sunshine and remind me about the light at the end of every dark tunnel. A warmth filled me, raising my mood just enough to make all the difference. I looked to Jayden, eager to share my joy with him. “This is Lilia, my mom and best friend; one of my reasons for living.” “Sheesh, kid; he doesn’t need your life story,” she teased.

Kiara values her friendship with Lila more than anything in the world. “It’s not bad to have fun. You are still so beautiful and with some touch of make up, you would be able to cause traffic at the highway and turn heads at the club.” Lila pressured her. She has no plans of letting Kiara off this time. “Okay. Fine...” Kiara said. “You are coming right?” Lila bit on her lower lip. She wanted to be sure she heard her best friend correctly. “Yes.” Kiara agreed. Lila cheered in excitement. “Yes! Yes! I love you best friend!” She kissed her hands.
