Being the best friend of the most beautiful girl at school, Niana Rodrigo never got any male attention and definitely not after her childhood crush came back then suddenly liked and had the intention of dating her best friend, Sydney grey.
What happ...
I woke up to someone nuzzling their face on my stomach, looking down, I saw Arlo's head on my stomach with his hands wrapped around my waist.
I slowly pushed him off before standing up to brush my teeth, after doing that, I showered and pulled on a pink dress-- Arlo obviously begged me to wear today and some white forces.
*Her outfit*

I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Before you start talking, Yeah, I know how to cook now, Miss Anita has been giving me cooking lessons these past months.
I carried the tray to our room-- containing two plates of Bacon, bread, egg and cheese with two cups of hot cocoa. Dropping it on the small coffee table, I realised Arlo wasn't in the room anymore.
He probably went to the bathroom and my guess was confirmed when the door to the bathroom opened and Arlo came out with a towel wrapped around his waist and water dripping down his torso.
"Like what you see." His voice suddenly caught me off.
"What?"
"Well, you were staring too much so i assumed you liked what you see."
"Don't get ahead of yourself." I hissed before looking away.
"You should be happy you have a sexy guy as your life partner." He scoffed.
"Like I said, don't get ahead of yourself, keep your damn ego in its limit." I huffed before shoving egg in my mouth.
"But I'm also happy because I have a hot babe stuck with me for life."
"Divorce is an option." I snickered.
"You wouldn't do that right?" He said coming to sit with me. "We got over that part right?"
"I don't know. Maybe not." I shrugged.
"You wouldn't divorce me right?" He asked making me look at him and I almost melt with the expression on his face.
He was so serious and at the same time looking sad. I didn't know he hated the topic this much.
"I'm just kidding gosh." I chuckled when he let out a sigh of relief.
"Don't ever scare me like that again, I love you too much to let go now." He muttered as he hugged me tightly.
"Cheesy." I commented.
"What do we have for breakfast?"
"Go get dressed first." I say pushing him off the small couch as he chuckled before going into our walk in closet.
"I love Niana." He yelled from inside the closet making me blush and shake my head.
After we had breakfast, we left for school in Arlo's car. Getting to the school ground, I saw students patrolling here and there, school seems a bit crowded recently because our exams were close and graduation wasn't far off.
"I'll be going to my Dad's place today." Arlo suddenly mention making me look at him skeptically.
"Did something happen?"
He never mentioned it before and if it was for a visit, we would go on a weekend so I don't really know why he suddenly want to go to his dad's place.
"Well...." He scratched his head making me raise a brow. "My Dad has invited Mr Bradford and his family over for Dinner."
"Oh. Is she going too?"
"Uhh, I don't know, I think so." He answered.
"I'm not going." I say before fastening my pace.
I was pissed, yes.
I was upset, Yes.
And most of all, I was jealous.
I was jealous because Mr Richardson would even think of inviting her family over for Dinner. Which means, their families were close and I'm sure Riele would have been the perfect match for Arlo if our Moms didn't make that Ridiculous wish or promise or whatever my Daddy said it was.
I know I said I trusted Arlo but that insecurity still lies there, I mean, he rejected me before, what makes me so sure he won't do it again? Wedding vows or an expensive ring? I better look for a distraction before my thoughts sink deeper.
"Niana!" Sydney's voice stopped me on my way to my locker.
"Hey, how are you? I smiled. "Been a while."
"We saw last Friday." She rolled her eyes before pulling me into a hug.
"That's long for me, besides Ethan takes 99.9% of your time these days."
"Says the one who is married and won't leave her husband's side." She snorted.
"Talking about me being a married woman is weird especially in school." I chuckled.
"Yeah, so why did you jump in then?" A voice said making us turn back.
"If it isn't mogana herself." Sydney smirked and I knew she wasn't going to go easy in Riele today.
"Let's just say, even if we didn't get married now, we were bound to later on." I smiled watching her face fall into a frown.
"What do you mean?" She snapped.
"What she's trying to say was that, you were just a substitute to make Arlo forget her." Sydney said moving forward to stand directly in front of her. "Niana has always been his first choice and will always be, besides, aren't you a little too stupid to be fighting over a guy who is married?"
"Shut up bitch." Riele gritted her teeth pushing Sydney slightly making Sydney catch her hand and bend it earning a satisfying crack.
Riele screamed and fell down making the attention on us multiply. I saw Arlo and Ethan running towards us before Arlo fell by her side to help her up. I felt my blood boil in rage, he should have at least looked at me or asked me questions first.
"Niana, I know you are mad about Riele and het family coming over for Dinner but you shouldn't take it this far." Arlo said before carrying her bridal style.
"I wasn't the one who star--"
He didn't even wait for me to finish before Turning around and left. I'm not angry at the fact that he is disappointed in me but did he have to carry her bridal style? She broke her hand not her leg.
A tear slipped down my face as I ran towards wherever my legs carried me, ignoring the calls of Ethan and Sydney.
