The Friend Zone By Abby Jimenez Novels & Stories

“I’ve been asking them if they kissed a girl wearing a green pin. That’s you in case you forgot.” I felt my jaw dropping slowly in disbelief. So much for ignoring that heat in my face…. “That is so embarrassing!” I said. “Why would you—” “Relax, girl. Nobody knows that it’s you. They probably think it’s me if anything,” she said. “And that could actually be hurting your chances since I’m not as cute and demure as you.” It was true. Abigail was more edgy. She was the friend who didn’t give two rats’ tails what anyone had to say or think.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Let’s get going.” Zoe gives me a doubtful look but doesn’t press the issue, thank God. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel sorry for me. I’ve had enough of that in my life. So instead, I focus on the excitement of exploring New York with my new friend and push thoughts of my past far, far away. ***

I said, as I left the two girls on the bed and petted them both. “I want my daddy and Suzy,” cried the girl, hopelessly. I sighed. All I had in my head were images of Suzy cursing me and then leaving. What was her damn problem anyway? “If you want, I can let you play with Bibi,” said Abby, offering the old rag doll that she always took everywhere. Abby was seven years old and a shy girl, but so loving. Her dark, curly hair always went into her big eyes, so I started doing frontal puddles in her head.

“It’s Find My Friends, and the whole family has it for safety reasons. You can never be too careful considering what’s out there. Good thing too, because when I saw Abby was in this little Podunk town, I knew something was up.” “What’s up was her coming to our children’s book event.” “You better not be trying to get her involved in your…your life.” I roll my eyes. “God forbid my sister gets involved with my life.” “You know what I mean,” he hisses. “And like I’ve told you, if you really cared about her, you’d stay far, far away.” “She came here of her own free will.” “Did she?” Scott’s eyes narrow. “I don’t have time for this. So unless you want to drop to your knees, kiss my feet, and tell

Will I and my child also have a moment like this one day? "So, how far have you gotten in impressing her?" she asked taking a bite of sandwich. I sighed, sounding disappointed as I'm supposed to speak about my current status with Arabella, "I’ve just started. Honestly, I don’t even know about that, but at least we’re in the friend zone, that's all I can say since she introduced me as her friend." Abigail was quiet for a moment before finally questioning. "Do you even know what kind of men women are into?"

Amy followed Zion through the bustling lobby, her grip on his hand tightening with each passing moment. As they made their way to the elevator, Amy stole a glance at Zion, her heart fluttering at the sight of him standing beside her. But despite the prying stares and whispered conversations, Amy held her head high, refusing to let the scrutiny of others intimidate her. She was Amy Armstrong, CEO of Diamond Group, and she would not allow herself to be cowed by the opinions of others.

I chuckled and burst into loud laughter when he grimaced. "It's not funny. I seem like a loser." "You're not a loser, stupid It's just... I don't want things to get complicated between our friendship-" "Don't you dare friendzone me!" "I'm not." "That's what it looks like," he sat beside me and dragged a finger toward my neck. My body grew feverish, becoming sensitive to touch. Ziah's mouth curled upwards slightly as though he could feel his effect on me. Our foreheads pressed together causing me goosebumps from the contact

Abby chortled lightly, clearing her throat before narrating. “Well, you’d have to ask them how they met, but I was actually friends with Vivian before, well, before she became the Vivian Kent,” she snickered sadly. “She coaxed me to attend some lame event that was happening in New York. I don’t know if you can tell, but I am an introvert, so parties aren’t my cup of tea,” Abby added. Charlotte nodded slowly in agreement, clearly having noticed how reserved Abby looked.

I have to control these feelings and not let Mickey see through me otherwise it will be awkward if he finds out. The party is in full swing inside. I looked around. Where are my friends? We started together then why aren't they here yet? "Where are your friends?"Mickey asked me. "I don't know. Maybe they will be here soon."I said still looking for them. I saw Veronica walking towards us along with Stance. She is glowing! And looks so beautiful! Her baby bump is showing a little too but no one can notice it unless they know about it. "Susan!"She said hugging me.
