More Than Best Friends Chapter Seventy Two
By the time Elena was done dressing, only a few minutes were left before Craig arrived. “We did a good job here,” Silver and Elena's mom said, making a high five as they checked out Elena in the mirror. Her hair was down to her neck, with curly tips. Her face was full of makeup that complemented her skin tone. “I’m fucking pretty,” Elena said as she stood up. A silver necklace her mother borrowed her sat on her neck, and the pair of earrings also dropped down to her shoulder. “Let’s go downstairs. Take some pictures, and we’re all set.” Her mother said as she picked up the black bag Elena took with the dress. They had just gotten to the last step when Elena’s phone came alive, her tone blaring. She exchanged a look with Silver as a small smile bloomed on her lips, “He’s here.” Silver said before getting down with her. “Nope. I’m taking pictures of my beautiful daughter before she steps out of this

Days passed, and neither Elena nor Craig were talking to each other. And Silver became her Uber driver, carrying her to school and returning her home every day. She missed her chances with Xavier because there was no way she would let Elena be. “This is the last time. If you call me again, I’m not going to carry you. You’ll start taking your Ubers or take any other thing.” “Or I can follow you and Xavier to school.” “That’s not an option,” Silver replied, killing the engine of the car as they both got down. Rumors were now flooding the school forum much more than anything. Neither Gaby nor Bianca has not returned to school, and the escorts of Bianca’s parents have also filed a report for their children being bullied. As much as that was a serious issue and needed to be curbed, the students had no interest in that. Most of them talked about how Elena and Craig seemed to avoid each other while Matthew and Sarah followed each other like

“Mum!!!” Elena yelled out for the umpteenth time. “I’ve told you it’s nothing huge; it’s a movie date, not an evening date, so I don’t need all this.” She said, stomping her foot to the ground and dashing out of the room. “Then put..” “I don’t want!” She cut her off. The day for the movie date between Elena and Craig was already here, and a few minutes from now, he would be outside her door, wanting her to get inside the car. Elena’s mom, Clara, was begging her to put on some makeup and wear something more fashionable than the baggy trousers and sweatshirt on her. “Elena, even if it’s a movie date, you’re still supposed to dress….” Elena stopped in her tracks, closing her eyes and clenching her jaw before turning to face her mother, “Mom, I’m dressed the way I want, and I’m so comfortable in this. I don’t see why I should dress any other way when I’ll just watch a two or three hours movie, take some ice cream, maybe or mayb

“Hey,” Elena shyly greeted, pulling out a chair from Matthew’s table and taking her seat. She called for a waitress who brought her snacks from their table and dropped it off for her. “Is everything fine with him?” Sarah questioned, munching down the crackers in her hand. “Sure. Just an emergency.” Elena retorted with a small smile, taking her phone out and continuing with her message with Silver. She was a bit nervous, seating with them and eating. She should have just maintained her table until they were ready to go and she could go with them that way. She clenched her jaw at intervals, trying her best not to show how nervous she was. “Are you okay?” She heard his voice and her heart took a sharp turn. “I’m fine.” She looked up at him and replied, smiling a bit before turning back to her phone. “When you’re done, let’s go.” Matthew said after as she looked up again. She wasn’t really interested in the

“Thanks,” Elena muttered as Matthew’s car came to a halt, opening the door and getting out of it.She had just taken a few steps when she heard the slam of the door and turned back to see him following her. Pausing the music she was listening to, she stopped and waited until he got close to her.“Do you want to come in?” She asked.“Nope. I’ll see you to the door, make sure you get inside like Craig asked me to, and go back home.” He replied with a grin.Elena nodded as they walked together towards the porch of the house. Her eyes kept darting towards him at intervals, and she rubbed her hand together, not knowing why she was nervous beside him.“Thanks,” she mumbled as she opened the door, looking at him with his hands in his pocket.“Go in.” He nodded to her.She turned to enter the house but stopped in her tracks,“Matthew,” she called and faced him again.Without saying anything, she approached him and pulled him into a hug, wrapping her arms around him and leaning her head on his

Matthew dropped Elena off at home that afternoon again, leaving after getting a hug from her. Elena was feeling much better and the feeling of recklessness was getting to her again.“Have a safe drive,” she said to him before walking towards her door and closing it in his face.She leaned against the door, her heart full of joy and warm out of happiness. They both exchanged texts today in the class, doing their silly thing of making best of teachers and even though she didn’t sit with him during lunch, he had ordered her food before she got there and just brought it to her table.“Why are you smiling like someone in love?”Her mom’s voice startled her as she hurriedly moved away from the door.She was dressed in a lazy sweater, a mug in her hand and her fluffy slippers in her legs.“Nothing. What are you doing at home by the way?” Elena retorted quickly, moving towards the stairs to get away from her mother.“Did Craig do something romantic and sweet you’re not telling me? Or what?” He

Three weeks and Sarah could say it was pure torture for her. She didn’t even have any reason to complain about or else she’ll be the problem in their relationship. Three weeks and Elena and Matthew’s relationship has drastically improved. Coming from people who would just nod at each other during lunch and whenever they see, to the funny Elena and the quiet Matthew all over again. She couldn’t say exactly what was going with Elena and Craig, but she knew Elena was pissed off at him. “Welcome back to the gang officially.” One of Matthew’s friends said to her and Sarah felt the urge to roll her eyes. “I’ve been sitting here with you guys and you’re just telling me this today. Why?” She asked as she popped a chip into her mouth, chewing it slowly. “We thought you might leave after some days but here you are, still smiling with us. Thank God for bringing us back together,” one of Matthew's friends said again. Elena nodded before replying

“Okay,” Gaby replied weakly. She was putting on an oversized sweatshirt and a big pants. With the look on her face, she was sweating nervously even though there was no heat. “You’ve not been taking care of yourself,” Elena said as she walked towards her door. She unlocked it and allowed her go in first, before Silver arrived. “Hi silver,” Gaby greeted too. She stood in the middle of the room, not living last few inches from the door. “I just came here to apologize and tell you I’m so sorry for doing such thing. I know no amount of sorry can make up for everything but I just needed to say it and clear it off my chest.” “I’m moving away.” She added as her lips stretched out. “To where?” Both Silver and Elena said at the same time. “To another school, another city. A boarding school this time, mh parents are not moving.” She retorted. Elena couldn’t find the words to use. She had forgott

Damien wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as he drove into the garage. He turned off the car and sighed.“Are you that anxious to meet my mom?” Dani asked as Rai burst into laughter.“I’m not anxious just careful” Damien replied with a smile as they got out of the car.“Careful my feet” Dani sneered as she burst into laughter. Ria smiled at Damien as she took his hand.“Don’t mind Dani, my mom is not that scary” Ria said and Damien laughed.“I know right,” Damien said as they walked into the house.“Mom, good evening,” Ria said as she pecked her home.“I see you brought a friend,” Mrs. Mahmata asked with a small smile.“Yes,” Ria said with a smile.“Mom, this is my boyfriend, Damien.

“It’s everywhere on the school forum,” Ava said as she scrolled her phone.Damien shrugged his shoulders as Ria fed him a fry “You know how active the school forum had become since Hazel became the president” Damien said and the girls burst into laughter.“Arianna Mahmata!” Zara yelled as she stormed into the cafeteria startling everyone. Ria frowned upon seeing Zara and Penny.“How shameless will you become? You stepped down from being the captain as if you wouldn’t do anything. What the hell did you tell the cheerleaders?” Zara asked as Ria slowly rose to her feet.“Shameless?” Ria asked as she stepped out of her seat.“If anyone should be asked who is shameless I think it should be the both of you. I thought you guys were my friends yet all along I was called a snake and a viper by my friends.

Ria was the first to get to school the next day. She smiled sweetly at Ava who started clicking pictures of her immediately.“Girl you are glowing” Ava exclaimed and Ria laughed.“Is it because he asked you to marry him yesterday?” Ava asked with a smile and Ria’s smile grew wider.“Maybe, who knows?” Ria asked as they sat down.“Where’s Janet?” Ria asked as Ava scoffed.“She’s like you. if you can’t find her, you won’t see Jason” Ava replied and Ria laughed.Ria raised her head when she saw a shadow fall over her and she snickered seeing Gabriel.

Ria held Damien’s hand as they walked out of the old house. Ria took one last look at the house as they walked outside the house. Ria looked around and was surprised at the number of black cars in front of them.She easily recognized the dragon tattoo on the cars as the same one on Damien’s stomach. She allowed Damien to pull her towards one of the cars and the window was slowly wounded down.“Is it all taken care of?” a voice asked in the car and Damien nodded.“Yes, boss” Damien replied.“Hmmmmm,” the voice said.“Thanks, boss” Damien said his voice solemn.“Take care of yourself, Damien,” the voice said as the glass went up and the cars sped out of sight.“Who were those?” Ria asked and Damien smiled at her.“People you don’t need to pay attention to,” Damien said as he led Ria to the car and he drove off. Damien couldn’t express how he was feeling. He didn’t feel free, he was just calm and he tightened his grip on Ria’s hands as he drove toward his apartment.He had her beside him

Damien rubbed Ria’s back comfortingly as he pulled her along and walked after the burly men. Ria watched as they led them to another part of the fighting ring.The area was surprisingly well-lighted and bright. There were rows of burly men with weapons making Ria latch herself to Damien.“He’s inside,” One of them said as Damien pushed the door opened and stepped inside the room.It was a large spacious office and there was a fan rolling as Damien and Ria stepped into the room. Three men were seated on the sofa in the middle of the office.“Damien, have your seat,” one of them said with a smile and Damien sat down and pulled Ria with him.“Mr. Lee, I have fulfilled our part of the agreement. I have as well also repaid my father’s debt. Isn’t it time to let me go?” Damien asked calmly as one of the men laughed.“It’s hard to let one of our strongest fighters go just like that,” he said and Ria frowned as she looked at the man disgustingly.“Just like that?

Ria watched calmly as Damien wore his gloves. She had watched Damien fight two times after the first time he brought her to the underground ring and she knew how good he was. But considering that after today he wasn’t going to be fighting again; Ria felt weird about it.She knew these people weren’t going to let him go just like that but Damien had assured her that he was going to be fine so she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only pray in her mind.“Don’t look like that, I’ll really be fine” Damien said and Ria nodded as she dropped a small peck on his lips.Damien tapped her nose as they walked out of the room. Everyone was yelling at top of their voices. He walked into the ring and raised his hands at the referee who checked him and Damien turned to his opponent. It was a young man who was a few years older than him. Merely looking at him, Damien knew he was the real deal. He chuckled lightly; these people had finally pushed him to the wall.He walked at Ria who was lookin
