My Neighbor

Fifteen - Friends?

"Um.. This is the thing I wanted to give you." Bethany said in a low voice and handed over something which looked like a red letter, to Justin. What could it be? A love letter? Pfft. No ways. Or maybe it is?

"Fine"

"I could have given it to-"

Someone pulled me from behind and dragged me away from there. I looked at the person dragging me, hands full of tattoos. Who else could it be? Rick.

"Stop! Why are you doing this to me?"

"Eavesdropping is bad" he said in a calm voice.

"I wasn't-"

He stopped walking resulting in me bumping into him. He let go of my hand and I took a few steps back.

"Oh really?"

I just looked down because I cannot lie! It is true that a person can't lie while looking into the others eye. Annoying.

"She doesn't want you to know. So let it be like that."

"What- what do you-?"

"Don't interfere if it's not your business"

"What-"

"Do well on your exams. Goodbye" he left without hearing a word back from me.

What does she not want me to know? Just when I thought I'd go back the bell rang. I had no choice but to let go.

.

"Hey Eli" a familiar voice.

"What do you want?"I narrowed my eyes when I saw where the voice came from.

"How'd you do on today's paper?"

"What do you want?" I stressed.

"Hey come on we are friends. You don't have to be so rude"

"Friends?" I scoffed "I don't need you as my friend. Thanks"

"Hey come on. Don't make this hard"

"Stop it sister " Luna appeared from behind Laura.

"You don't interfere-"

"You don't interfere. " Luna glared at her sister.

"Alright. Enough. Let's go Luna, I don't want to talk to her" I grabbed Luna by her wrist and walked past Laura.

"Wait."

We stopped but didn't look back. "What?"

"Just- don't be too harsh on Amy. She didn't really want to do that to you-"

"I don't care"

"That's my girl!" Luna whispered and then dragged me away from her.

"What was that about though?"

"No idea. Don't worry. Concentrate on your exams"

"Oh where's Joe by the way?"

"With his new boyfriend"

"Wait. WHAT?" I yelled and stopped walking.
When did that happen?

"That David guy" she chuckled.

"Damn" Luna closed my mouth which I didn't realize was wide open.

"Damn" I whispered this time "why didn't I Know about this?"

"They started going out yesterday or something. He wanted to tell you this morning"

"But I ran away from there to wish Justin-"
