Diamond: The Original

Chapter 42 "F-R-I-E-N-D-S"

~Iria~

I peeked at the one of the two kitchen doors, Kenzie and Ethan were chatting, Wonder boy wasn't there which I found strange, he was there a couple of minutes ago, before Ethan asked me to check if the adds were already over. They hadn't, that's why I came back, I almost enter the kitchen and go to Ethan and Kenzie but someone's else arrival to the room held me back. Chrystal and Bonnie, Bonnie seemed to want to kill someone and Chrystal didn't stop some feet away from the boys as Bonnie did, she walked until reaching Ethan, standing next to him. They both whispered a couple of sentences that only them seemed to hear, I think I focused too much on them because when I averted my gaze from best friends the sound of the slap Bonnie gave her brother echoed through the kitchen.

Luckily the house was big enough for the parents of the siblings to don't hear it.

"Brother of shit! That's what you are!"

I decided to pay more attention to the fight after Bonnie left her lungs screaming that. I peeked more on the kitchen, the door I was peeking at was behind the fridge so nobody saw me.

As my curious eyes watched Kenzie's reaction to the slap my mind stopped paying attention to what was in front of me when I felt two big arms surrounding me, someone was hugging me from behind, I knew it because that person leaned himself against my back and rest his chin on my shoulder.

I knew who he was, I recognized his cologne. Then why did I get startled when he talked? Why did a chill ran through my spine when he called me by that nickname?

"Spying on people, Rough Diamond?" His warm breath caressed the skin that my wig showed.

I took some more seconds than I probably should to react. I had to say something, I couldn't let the Wonder Boy think that he had the effect to left me speechless with a touch, I opted for getting defensive.

"Why are you touching me? Who told you you could touch me?"

"My bad." I could heard him smirking close to my ear, then he stepped back. I stopped feeling his arms around my waist and another chill ran through me, a different one. "I just couldn't miss the opportunity to startle you." Now he smiled, I had turned around to face him, I couldn't help staring.

That brown-haired wig... I didn't like it. His white hair was a thousand times better.

I leaned against the door frame in a careless posture, my arms crossed, my eyes fixed on Tristan. I thought about excuses to don't admit he had startled me but the sound of another slap made Tristan and I turned to the little kitchen fight again. We were relatively close when we both peeked on the door.

Ethan was the one that got slapped... That made me laugh, I had to cover my mouth with my hand.

"Kenzie, I think that your sister is nuts." Ethan looked at Bonnie horrified as he rubbed the side of his face that had Bonnie's hand drew on it.

"Nuts is how you both are for threating my boyfriend to break up with me!"

When Bonnie screamed that I immediately looked at Tristan, he was Bonnie's boyfriend, for my surprise he was looking at me too. It didn't take me long to look straight ahead, I didn't want hypnotizing glances or shy smiles that my stupid brain would let out without my permission. Although no matter how much I looked ahead, I was focused on the touch of our little fingers...

I had missed almost all the fight when I got to focus again. I had to force myself to don't get distracted again. No matter what the Wonder Boy does.

"I was just preventing you from wasting your time." Kenzie snapped at Bonnie, he had his arms crossed, you could say he was angry for the fight he never wanted to start.
