Brother's Best Friend | Benny Rodriguez x Female Reader

002

y/n's pov

the bell had finally rung, indicating that this boring algebra class was over and my favorite part of school had begun, lunch and recess.

i walk out of class and go to my locker and meet up with my best friend, jocelyn.

"hey, girl," she bellows from down the hall."

i smile brightly before answering back, "hey,"

i've known jocelyn for a very long time, but not as long as the boys. i had met her in 5th grade when she first moved to the valley.

she had gotten lost in the school and i was there to help her and ironically, we had the same class. that's when i knew that we'd be good friends.

"oh my gosh, girl you would never believe it," she open up her locker and drops her bookbag in there.

i begin on the combination of my lock before opening it, "spill, what's up?"

"jordan had asked me out on a date, isn't that exciting?"

i roll my eyes as i grab my lunch card, "that's amazing jocelyn."

i close my locker door and look over at her and see that she is mugging me.

"that was one fake ass answer and y'know it." she looks me up and down.

i huff and flail my arms before we start walking, "it's just that y'know what he has done and y'know he's a shitty person and you continue to date him. i don't understand you."

"that's the past though, it doesn't make us who we are today. and besides he's an amazing boyfriend. you just wanna believe what benny tells you cus you like him."

we had reached the lunch room and had started to walk over to our table. i give a little wave to the guys as we walk past their table and i converse with her once again, "okay, for one i understand that the past doesn't define us but he literally brings it up himself, not us."

i sit in my seat and wave at the rest of our friends, "and two, i don't listen to everything benny says, i was there when it all went down."

she rolls her eyes, "mhm," she hums, "sure. whatever you say."

this is exactly why i don't mess with her. she may be my best friend but she's weird. she always takes his side and to top it off, she wasn't even there that day so she doesn't have a say.

but this is just the tip of the iceberg. she only hangs out with me when it benefits her. like if we go out, she will go and see jordan or something. it's so annoying.

"this is exactly why i don't like hanging around you." i get up from my spot and begin walking away.

i hear her and the rest of my friends calling from the distance but i chose to ignore them. i walk over to the guys table and find a seat next to squints.

"friend troubles?" he pats me on the back.

i shrug him off as i nod, "yeah, but what's new?"

the rest of the guys make their way back to the table after getting lunch. they each sit down one by one and begin conversing.
