FRENEMIES IN LOVE

CHAPTER SEVEN

Alfred and Ilsa became a thing after that night. Joe's actions paved a path for Alfred to finally ask her to be his girlfriend, and she happily said yes to him. The boys were happy for their friend.

The memory of Sal's bad doings had left the minds of the boys, and all was cool among them but something was still up between Timmy and Joe. Their friendly rivalry slowly evolved into an unfriendly one. They spoke to each other disrespectfully and acted rude towards each other. The boys spoke to them about it; they told Timmy and Joe not to allow a girl to break the bond of their friendship and cause a rift in the brotherhood. But neither of them cared about that at the moment; their aim was focused on getting Mary to fall for them.

After Joe got Mary's phone repaired, Joe was able to ask her for her phone number. He offered her a meal fit for a queen as compensation for what he had done, and she accepted the offer.

Two days later, Joe took her out of the school's campus to a restaurant. There, they ate, exchanged some stories, had a few laughs, and got to know themselves better. After they left the restaurant, Joe took her into a boutique and got her a grey hoodie. Joe, being the gentleman he is, escorted her back to her hostel's gate upon arriving back on the school ground. She gave him a heartfelt "Thank you" and a kiss on the cheek.

"I had a really nice day," she said.

"Me too," Joe smiled.

"We should hang out more, I like your vibe."

She walked into the hostel and left Joe with an obvious blush on his face. He bounced down to his hostel and told the story to the boys. Timmy and the rest of the boys commended him, except for Sal. Sal wasn't happy that he was spending too much on a girl he wasn't gaining anything from.

In time, a sequence aligned: Timmy spent time with Mary during the day while having classes, and Joe spent nights of when he wasn't reading, with her. But there was an addition to the sequence for Timmy.

Samuella started requesting time with Timmy. At first, he didn't fancy it, he always told her no. Two nights consecutively, she asked him to come out and hang with her, but he refused, trying to avoid any unwanted attention. But on the third night, he decided to answer to her wish. On the first night, they took a stroll round the school, and Timmy enjoyed their talk, he agreed to come out the following night. They hung out together, and the next. For three nights in a row and both enjoyed each other's company.

Timmy noticed that she was becoming more clingy but didn't restrain from seeing her, as he had nothing to do in his evenings and he knew his goal was her friend and not her. He unknowingly kept on impressing her with his jokes and care during the time they spent together. He was just being himself but the more time they spent together, the more she seemed to lust.

Thursday had arrived and had gone smoothly for the gang; their classes went well, and they all returned back to the hostel to rest. After a few hours of resting, room CR7 was filled with noise as Samson kept yapping about a movie he had watched the night before.

"It's six forty-three; let's go get dinner," Sal voiced.

"Alright, let's go, my mouth is getting dry from all this narration I've been doing," Samson spoke.

"Then try to speak less in life," Joe spoke.

"Ouch," Sal expressed.

The gang walked into the school cafeteria and into The King's. They made their orders at the counter, collected their food, and made their way to the last table at the back to occupy it. They began eating almost immediately.

Essay; the waiter, brought bottles of water and placed them on the table. Marvelous noticed Samson staring at her as she walked back to the counter. "Bro, bring yourself back," Marvelous said.
