More Than Best Friends Chapter Twenty One
“Wait, what!” Elena screeched out.Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Sarah, darting them towards Matthew too.“So you guys have a book date, and you won’t invite me in?” She added before concentrating on Matthew.“Elena, you don’t like books. Why would we want to invite..”“Because it’s time I can spend with my friends, have fun, talk and gist. Why won’t you invite me in?” She cut in, eyeing Matthew before facing Sarah.“I’m coming with you. My mum has a late shift in her office, so that I can come with you.” She added before turning back to her food.Matthew glanced at Sarah, mouthing a ‘sorry’ to her before turning to look at Elena. Sarah had mistakenly asked about the booking date they were supposed to go together this afternoon, and Elena had heard it, bringing her to ask about it. It was supposed to be an alone thing, but with Elena knowing now, she won’t stop bothering them until they carry her along.“What time is it? Is it immediately after school, or we’ll go home to c

Matthew loved driving. He had learnt it from a very young age from his father, gone on trips and do anything that involves him and the fresh air. The first time he was with the wheel was when he was 13, seated in between his fathers legs with his small hands on the wheel, his fathers big one engulfing it.And at 16, he got his car. His very own gift for passing his junior school gracefully. His father got him a teacher to help him until he was perfect. He was staring at Elena, who was seated in the passenger seat, and Sarah, who was beside him, without saying anything. A dreading feeling washed over him, and he was not excited to enter the car or even press the pedal.“Are we just going to stand down and not move? I’m hungry, so can you guys just come in and let’s go.” Elena spoke out.Sarah removed her hand from Matthew’s, walking annoyingly to the car and opening the back seat.“Thank you,” Elena muttered before turning to look at Matthew,“Would you come in too?” She added with a

Elena woke up as early as she could the next morning, going with her routine and cooking breakfast, but things were a little different that morning. Her mother had woken up earlier than usual and met her the minute she finished packing Matthew's breakfast.With raised eyebrows, she walked up to her daughter and touched her suddenly, causing Elena to jump off in shock.“Mum, you can’t come at my back like that!” She yelled out.“And why do you have plenty of food today again?” Clara said, ignoring what she had just said.Elena eyed her, walking back to the box and tying it up before carrying it off.“Matthew and I are eating lunch together with one of my friends. Not Silver, though, but we’re eating together.” She replied without turning back to face her mother.“And you’re taking my food for that!”“It’s not like I cook every day, and you have only me! So let me take it for today!” She yelled back before entering her room and shutting the door.Dropping the box on her reading table, s

“I know! I know.” Elena hurriedly said.“You guys were talking about a date, and I know I interrupted a lot of things. I was just thinking that since I was the one that stopped the first one, I was going to make it up to you guys by preparing a little thing.”“Think of it like a small..” she said and gulped down, approaching the small table she had set up and taking her seat on the floor.“….a mini lunch-date.” She added, curling her lips into a smile as she looked at both of them.Both Matthew and Sarah's eyes roamed the table. Different lunch snacks filled the table, and also some burgers, a pizza and juice.“How…..how did you get all of these?”Sarah was the first to talk, approaching her and taking her seat on the floor.“Who helped you with this?”Matthew asked, still surprised with all of it as he took his seat too.A blanket was laid on the floor, with a pillow on each of them where they all sat down.“Don’t worry about that. Just let’s eat before they ring the bell.” Elena sai

After the date Elena organised for them, everything went down the drain starting the next day, and it was evident to Matthew that nothing was going as it was before. Sarah had told him to come to pick her up first, and Elena had said the same. With no option, he had told them to always meet at Elena’s place, where he’ll pick both of them up. And since then, Elena has bumped into all of their events, starting from their lunch together that afternoon to every book thing they planned.He had no idea how she got to know about everything, but she appeared everywhere. It was a week now and even trying to get a hold of her to make a conversation was very hard. She stepped down the car immediately when they got to her place and didn’t even make conversation with him. And there’s Sarah who has been trying to hide the disgust on her face for the past week but this morning was just so clear and evident.“I’m taking the front seat.” She said, walking past Elena and getting in.Elena, whose attent

The two walked to the school field, where there was no disturbance, and everything was clear. Matthew was already waiting for them at one corner, pacing back and forth and, at the same time, trying to get his words straight. He just turned to his right when he saw them approaching, and he felt his heart thump hard on his chest.“Hey.” He greeted them but was met with no reply.They ignored him, flopping to the floor and carrying a tray to each of themselves. Just like Elena liked, it was a burger and a strawberry drink while Sarah got some chips and a drink.“We have to talk.” Matthew chipped in.“And we will, but I have to eat.”“I’m not interested in eating. Just say this and let her know. She can’t keep bagging in conversations, in our plans and think it’s something normal.” Sarah interrupted, her eyes blazing with fire.“It’s not up to you to decide what I want to do and what I won’t like to do. I get to choose that, I own that.” Elena retorted, eyeing her and taking a bite of her

“Tell me, Elena, what am I to you?” Matthew added, his eyes almost bulging out of its socket.“Why would you be asking me something like that? You’re my friend! You’ve always been my friend!” Elena replied, staring directly into his eyes.“That’s the problem, Elena. I’m always the friend, the cool guy that follows you everywhere. The guy you push around to everyone, acting as if you control me…“I don’t control you. You know that well!” She cut him off.“Then tell me why you keep barging into all my conversations with her! Tell me… why you think it’s normal for you to do everything and anything when it comes to me.”“You don’t care what I think, you don’t even bother to ask me! I’m pretty sure everyone in this school thinks you own me, and they come to you anytime they have something for me! Isn’t that so!” Matthew added, clenching his jaw and unclenching it at the same time.“But you know what?” He said as he ran his fingers through his hair, darting his eyes from Elena and looking a

“Hey Sarah,” Matthew walked up to her seat, calling her as he stopped in front of her.“Hi,”Sarah replied bluntly, not paying him any look.She was with one girl, probably her friend, but Matthew had never seen the both of them together once.“Can I talk to her alone for a while?” Matthew said, looking at her friend and smiling awkwardly at her.The blonde girl eyed him distastefully before turning to look at Sarah, who gave her the cue to leave.“Three minutes,” she said to him and walked away.Matthew nodded at her and pulled a chair closer to himself, taking his seat before facing Sarah.“I…I’ve not seen her here.” He started.“She’s not in this class,” Sarah retorted, packing her books into her bag without looking at Matthew.“Oh… okay.” He replied.The both of them sat in awkward silence after, Matthew watching as she packed her books, and as she zipped up her bag, his mouth suddenly started working again.“I..want to apologize for what happened this afternoon. I didn’t mean it i

Dani was getting annoyed every minute as the lecturer told stories.His phone rang beside him and he picked up the phone and started talking in hushed whispers. After a while, he turned to everyone in the class and wore a fake smile.“We will have to end today’s class here,” he said, and walking out of the class or rushing out of the class would be better. Dani flung her bag over her shoulders as she attempted to rush outside but someone blocked her way.“Hey Dani,” the guy said with a small smile and Dani sighed.“How may I help you, Adrian?” Dani asked and the guy smile.“Today is John’s birthday so we made a small party for him and invited a few people, I was wondering if you wanted to come,” Adrian said and Dani scoffed.

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. Damien, this is my mom” Ria said as Damien debated on which expression he was supposed to make. He ended up making a weird expression as he greeted Mrs. Mahamta.“Good evening ma’am” Damien greeted as Mrs. Mahmata narrowed her eyes at him. Damien could feel the sweat running down his back as Mrs. Mahmata

Ria twirled her pen as she turned to Damien “I was waiting for you to come back that’s why I haven’t filled out my application yet” Ria confessed.“Jason told me you hadn’t so I didn’t even collect my form yet,” Damien said and Ria smiled.“We think alike too much” Ria cooed and Damien pecked her before tapping her nose.“So which uni are you doing?” Damien asked and Ria shrugged.“I was about to ask you” Ria replied and Damien wriggled his eyebrows at Ria.“I’ll go anywhere you go” Damien replied and Ria chuckled as she opened her phone and scrolled through the list of universities.“What do you think about TAS?” Ria asked and Damien shrugged his shoulders.“Anywhere you want to go baby” Damien replied as Ria shook her head.“Bristol Univeristy then,” Ria said and Damien shrugged. They both brought out their forms and started filling them out. Damien filled his form with his right hand as his hands found Ria’s skirt. His hands went inside her skirt and Ria sucked in a breath as she

“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. I gave everything and did all a friend does and gives to her friend as a friend, I helped you every way I could but what did you guys do? You stabbed me in the back neatly” Ria said as she tu

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. As Ria had said, his popularity had hit rock bottom after that day, his friends stopped talking to him, and he was also benched by the soccer team. If he didn’t play in any matches soon; it would really be hard for in to get into a soccer school and talk less of a top-notch one.He had no option but to seek out Ria again. They definitely had to date again even if it was for show. Gabriel gave Ria a small smile as Ria glared at him.“What do

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
