Starco Between Friends Novels & Stories

♤Adrian♤ I looked around the room. Where was Astrid? I was sure I’d seen her with Joan just a few minutes ago. Now, Joan was all over a brunette, and Astrid was nowhere to be found. I'd walked across the room, met Aaron, and handed over the gifts we’d brought him. Our relationship didn’t thrive on communication, but he’d told me he was glad we’d made it and thanked me for the gifts. So yeah, maybe Astrid was right. He was my friend, but our friendship was different from others.

The one with his hair dyed red held out his hand to me for a handshake. "Scarlett." I took his hand briefly. "Hi! Felix is the name. And permit me to say, but you look gorgeous in person." His blue eyes brightened as he held out his hand for a handshake, which I took but quickly retracted. "I'm JoJo. It's nice to meet you." "Lucas is the name. I've heard so many amazing things about you, and I'm glad we finally met." After I exchanged pleasantries with his friends, I excused myself, intending to leave, but Alexa came with her annoying self again to stop me.

Tamera introduced them. "Nice to meet you." Paige and Brady both said. "Same here." Michael repeated. "Glad to finally meet you." Sheila said. "And this is Dax, my boyfriend." Tamera blushed and said awkwardly. "You look familiar. How do I know you?" Paige asked. "He plays on that TV series mom always watches." Brady responded. "Right! Omg mom! I need to know all about it!" Paige excitedly said. "Spare us." Brady laughed.

With that, I looped my arm around Gerald's waist and Trevor halted his steps instantly. Surprise flared in Gerald's eyes as I placed my legs between his thighs and leaned against him, silently willing him to go out for a long pass. "Now that it has gotten to this point, I don't have to hide the fact that I'm also sleeping with my best friend. Now, let's get the rejection over and done with!" Claudia let out a peal of unhinged laughter. "You're sleeping with your janitor best friend? How low can you stoop, Beth?"

She groans in my ear, making me almost giggle. Victor looks up, a faint smile flashing in his beautiful eyes. "You're here." His words are general, but because of his deep, seductive voice, I feel unusually pleasant. "Yes," I breathe out. "Hi! I'm Stella, Trix's best friend! You must be Victor!" Stella chimes in. "Now I know why she praises you so much! You're worth it!" "....." I gasp and glare at her. She does not bother and continues, "Just find me if you ever want to know her secrets; I know all of them!"

Stacy teased, her voice filled with genuine affection for her friend. "Yeah, he's the best thing that has ever happened to me," Rita gushed, her voice filled with a dreamy inflection. "And his ahem... his... you know," she trailed off, blushing slightly. "Rita!" Stacy exclaimed, a mix of shock and amusement on her face, which only made Rita laugh harder. Their laughter echoed through the room, a testament to the enduring bond of their friendship, even in the face of life's challenges. Little did Stacy know that this would be the final night of their friendship, marking the beginning of a treacherous and bitter rivalry with Rita.

Thaddeus asked me. I knew what he was doing, trying to bait me into contradicting Barnett on live TV. I wasn’t going to fall for it. “Yes, 100%. We are friends, but very close friends.” I took Barnett’s hand and squeezed it in what I felt was a platonic gesture. Barnett squeezed back, a little harder than I had expected, and I had to resist pulling my hand back due to the pain. Thaddeus watched us for a moment before nodding. “Very well, let’s talk about another ‘just friend’ of yours, Arthur Stardust. We started to talk about him before you ran off—”

Stella hissed arrogantly “Stella , we used to be friends . What happened to you ? when did you get so evil?” I asked her and she rolled her eyes at me while chewing and smacking her chewing gum in an annoying way “You're standing in the way of our family’s happiness. You're the odd one out with your ginger red hair and freckles besides my mother said that you will cut down my inheritance money short if we have to share it so I want you and your brother gone “ Stella opened her mouth and said the most disgusting stuff ever

Suddenly a young guy approached me "Hello Star." I touched her "She's a really nice horse." He said "She seems very calm." I said and he chuckled "She is and she loves sugar." He said "I'm sorry, I'm Lauren. So this place is yours?" I asked "I'm JJake and yes this is mine." He answered "Nice place and tomorrow me and my highschool friends will come here." I told him "Yeah I know." He said "So how old is Star?" I asked "She's 7 years old."

I wore it because I was too weak to take it off before I had to. When we arrived, Luca was already at the main table. Sophia went straight to him. He stood at once, pulled out her chair, and asked whether the music was too loud. She smiled and pressed a quick kiss to his jaw. "Elena," Sophia said, pulling me down beside her, "this is Dante Valenti. He's an old friend of Luca's, apparently dangerous, and very single." Dante Valenti sat across from me in a navy suit without a tie, his lazy smile barely hiding sharp eyes. Three years ago, when my search nearly got me killed, Dante had gotten me out and kept unwanted visitors from my hospital room.
