I am The Heiress and I Hate It

Chapter 14 - Friends

"Look Darren if you are mad at me for not going to the Halloween party or you birthday, I'm sorry. I really wanted to go. But I don't have a choice. I have to attend that date." I explained.

It hurts me to see him like this. I like him. And I swear I wanted to go to his party. And besides, even if I won't be there I'm pretty sure he will be happy. His girlfriend is there... And that's a big stab in my heart.  I won't be the one with him. Not ever. I don't see any apparent reason why he is so sad. 

"Whatever." he mumbled. He left me there afterwards.

Later that night, I am sitting on my bed holding my phone. Will I text him and say sorry? I don't really know. My head snapped up from my phone once I heard a knock on my door. I don't want to raise my hope but I wish that person is Darren.  I hopped out of bed and opened it. My eyes landed on nothing. Then my head went down. Mini Darren is standing there wearing a pair of mickey mouse pyjamas.

"Hello?"

He didn't answer. Instead, he went inside my room and sat on the carpeted floor. I followed his gesture. For a ten year old boy, he is pretty matured. 

"So what can I do for you?" I asked out of curiosity.

His eyes roam around the room then landed on me. "Are you my brother's girlfriend?"

I was startled by his question. Why would he ask this kind of question? "N-no. " I stammered.

He looked directly into my eyes. "So you are not his girlfriend or anything?"

I swallowed a lump of saliva on my throat. "No."

"Well then, you know that I am his baby brother. And I know my brother very well. I know everything about him. I know the reason why he's staying here. He doesn't know that I was actually listening to their conversation on the day our parents sent him here." He paused for a minute then continued. "But as I can see, my brother really likes you. Even if I know that he is still with that ugly real life Regina George."

Is he referring to Elisa Meyer? Darren's girlfriend. And did he watch Mean Girls?

"Just to let you know, you can't lie to me. I can see it in your eyes that you like my brother. And he also likes you but he is just hiding it. And if you'd ask me, I prefer a geek like you to be my sister - in - law than that girl."

Sister - in - law? Yes I like Darren and all. But I haven't even thought of marrying him. And besides, how is he sure that his brother also likes me? It's impossible. A guy like Darren won't even like a girl like me. His types are those skinny bitches over there.

"You know what? For your age, you sure act as if you are eighteen." I said. "Are you even sure of what you're saying?"

He smirked. Not the Darren smirk. But his own Danny smirk. "C'mon Dre. Yes I'm eight years younger. But you can't hide anything from me. I am smarter than you think I am."

"What are you? An eighteen year old boy trapped inside a ten year old's body?" I mocked.

"Maybe."

Danny is not that bad. Though he really looks like his brother and acts like him, he has some traits that are only from him. I can sense that this boy and I will be really good friends.

"So what? Tell me you like my brother. You can trust me." he crossed his arms and raised his left eyebrow.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone." I said.

"I promise." then he crossed his heart.

"Well... I sorta like him." I admitted. I look down and blushed. 

"I knew it!" he exclaimed.

I placed a finger in front of my mouth. "Shhhhhhhhh... Someone might hear you. " I hushed.

"Oops. Right. Sorry." Then he gave me that goofy smile.

Then suddenly, I got interested on him. "How about you? Is there any girl you fancy in school?"

He blushed. He is very cute whenever he is blushing. "No."

"Oh c'mon! I know there is. You are very near on going through puberty. I'm pretty sure you already have a crush." I nudged him.

He looked down and blushed deeply. "Well actually.... there is. She's somewhat a friend of mine."

I smiled. "See. It's not that bad to tell the truth."

His head snapped up. "Don't tell anyone Dre. It's only between us."

"Sure, sure. Can you please stop calling me Dre. Only your brother calls me that name."

"Fine. Lea then. I don't want to get my brother's nickname for you. It seems like it's very special." he teased.

I rolled my eyes. "So what's her name?" I asked.

"Who?"

"You know who." I retorted.

"Mary-Kate. It's Mary-Kate Lambert." He answered.

"Nice name." I complimented.

"Yeah, yeah." he moodily said.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"So what? Are we considered friends now? I mean, since we are telling each other some very confidential things." I said. 

"Do I have a choice?" he asked.

"No." I said. Then we both giggled.

It is so cool to have a kid as a friend. It is simply fun. It's less drama.

And that's what we are now. Friends. Danielle Knight is my friend.

Okay guys. Did you enjoy it? It's kinda funny. And I have this idea to do a book about Danny when he turned eighteen. You know. About him and Mary-Kate. It might be fun. Just to let you know, there will be no sequel. And this book will be finished on chapter 30 or so. Maybe 35. But i'm not planning for this book to reach chapter 40 plus. And the next chapter will be the party! And you'll be meeting Andrew. I want you to guess. Will she go to the party or the date? Omg! so excited. Maybe I'll write the next chapter shortly. I owe you a lot of updates. Oh and, sorry for the wrong grammars and spellings. People commit mistakes.
