My Friend Is The Best Novels & Stories

Now, it just made me want to gag. “Nobody knows you the way I do. Nobody else on this campus actually gives a damn about you the way I do. I’m the one who protected you. I’m the one who always made sure you were good. You think Brittany cares? She’s just using this to cause a scene because she hates me, not because she's trying to protect you. You’re my best friend, Kathy. We’re supposed to be a team. You can’t let people come between us over some stupid rumor or misunderstanding.”

“You’re not mad at me for cheating. You’re mad at me because of who I’m cheating on. Because she’s your precious Kieran’s best friend. Man, get your shit together and ask the girl out without making it my problem,” I take a breath before speaking. “That’s not what this is about and if you really think it is, you’re a bigger idiot than I thought. And you clearly don’t know me very well. Come back to me when you’ve sobered up and thought about what you’re doing to your girlfriend,”

Mia The day after I told Ava the truth, I couldn't get out of bed. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, replaying the moment over and over. Her face when I said the words. The way her voice cracked when she said, "You're my best friend." The sound of her footsteps as she walked away from me in the hallway. I'd imagined this moment a hundred times. In my worst nightmares, she screamed at me, threw things, told me she wished I was dead. In my more hopeful fantasies, she cried, and I cried, and somehow, impossibly, she forgave me.

Her right eyebrows lifted, with her eyeballs wide open in an utter displeasing gesture “Why can't it be me” I fired back “What? How can you even say that you're my fucking best friend” “A best friend that has always been there for you, a best friend that was there when your Almighty step brother was ignoring you, a best friend that has never left your side, a best friend that has always had your best interest at heart, it's me Taylor I'm that best friend that has always made sure you're okay, so why can't it be me, why must it be that dude that has made you cry over and over, and over again, he doesn't even love you, can't you see that?”

I thought back to Brooks' words as I sat in Calvin's reception with my hands scrolling through the pictures on Kylie's post. Brooks would be disappointed in me for letting Calvin minimize my worth. I was a perfectionist, always competing with Brooks and my two other girl best friends for the top position at school. Whatever I did... I always had to come top, with the number one position. And I didn't miss Brooks always letting me have it either. He was far smarter than I was, but, that's just who my best friend was. Caring, and protective. The big brother I always wanted as an only child.

"You're officially the best person I've ever met." Luther chuckles, shaking his head as he turns onto our street. "Hope you regret bein' mean to me all damn day." I grab another fry, warmth settling into my stomach for the first time all night. "Maybe a little." "Mm-hm." "But in my defense," I add quickly, pointing a fry at him. "I was in the middle of a tiny little Menty-B." "You said I was built like an air fryer." I nearly inhale the fry in my mouth.

R A Y M O N D I'm not sure what was going on, but when my people looked her up, there was no mention of a boyfriend. So, why was this guy—who, according to my people, was supposed to be her best friend—holding her waist like he was her boyfriend?

That was just one of many things I hadn’t told her. “You’re nothing like that, okay? For Christ’s sake, look at you. You’re beautiful. You’re a writer—a popular one, working on her second book. And you’re my BEST FRIEND! If that doesn’t scream identity, I don’t know what does,” she said fiercely. I gave her a small smile. I was her best friend—that was enough. “You never asked who told her that,” I said after a moment. She stilled, her body tensing. “No.”

"Consider it a gift. An apology for being a terrible friend." "You're not a terrible friend." "I've been so focused on Mason and Vincent that I forgot to be there for you." She stopped. "You're my best friend, Lucy. And I've been treating you like a problem to be solved." "Sloane—" "I'm sorry." Her voice cracked. "I should have been better." I pulled her into a hug. "You're fine," I said. "You've always been there for me. Even when you were being a pain in the ass."

I pinched her, "bitch.. what the fuck! I'm not gay okay.. and I am not crushing on Tee just because I miss her a lot. .. and I'm straight..it happens when you are friends with someone... you miss them.." She rolled her eyes, "you are so blind... Literally." "No apparently you are..." She laughed, "you're still crushing on her." I got up into a sitting position, "I love Nash okay and ain't crushing on anyone.. especially Tee. She's like thee best friend I have.. even better than you now since you are being an idiot.." My best friend laughed more now, "she can never replace me..." I nodded my head, "true there.." "Then text her..."
