The Friendship (Short Story)

(A/N) So... this was my Creative Writing project with my classmate last year and I typed all of this until 12am XD. Now I decided to edit and publish it. I was a rookie at this so I hope you like it. ^^

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There were two kids named Joshua and Roxie. They were best friends for 10 years. Not only they’re best friends but also classmates and bus mates but they would sometimes hang out with different groups on their batch.

One day, while they are on their way to school, Joshua feels sadder than usual.

“Hey! Josh, why are you staring off space like that?” Roxie said, confused.

“No it’s nothing” Joshua said while giving her a fake smile.

“Are you sure? You can hang out with me if you want, to make you feel better.” Roxie said it worriedly.

“No!” Joshua said with his voice a bit harsh.

“Ok…” Roxie left herself confused on what Joshua is thinking about on his mind.

   When it’s time for their break, Roxie went to the table with three of her friends while she was walking, she saw Joshua alone in a table eating his sandwich slowly like it’s was going on forever. As Roxie got her food, she couldn’t help but look at Joshua. She was so worried, she came over to his table but her friend tapped her shoulder.

“Come on Roxie! You don’t need to go in two directions; you need to go in One Direction.” One of her friends said.

“Oh! Wait for me. By the way, I can’t believe you used the One Direction reference because they are your favorite band.” Roxie said it annoyingly.

“You know I’m worried for Joshua…” Roxie said sad while looking at the floor.

“SOMEONE HAS A CRUSH!” one of her friends said loudly.

“Wait!” Roxie couldn’t finish her sentence because her friends are screaming.

“It’s just another stupid rumour you’ve guys made up!” Roxie screamed while blushing at the floor.

“Then why is your face red?” Her friends smirked at her.

“It’s not that obvious…” Her friends smirked a bit wider. Roxie let out a big sigh.

“Just don’t scream, ok?” Roxie said it and her face turned into a frown. “Ok, just tell us!” Her friend said it impatiently.

“I have a crush on Joshua… There your happy?” Roxie said it a bit annoyingly but at the same time harsh.

“That’s so cute our Roxie has a crush on her BFF.” One of her friends said it excitedly.

“DON’T TELL! Our friendship depends on it.” She begged for a kept secret. “Ok! We won’t tell.” All of her friends said it at the same time giving her a wink and a thumbs-up.

   Meanwhile, two of Joshua’s friends came late.

“Where are the others and where have you been?” Joshua said it a bit impatient and a bit stressed.

“Number one, our History teacher extended our time for ten minutes.” One of his friends said.

“And number two, the others went to the library because they forgot their assignment.” His other friend said.

“Oh ok.” Joshua is a bit sadder than this morning.

“Yo! What wrong, dude? You can tell us we’re your bros.” His friend said trying to be cool.
