Fake Death Fake Friends

Chapter 11:

I threw my leg over the backyard fence and nearly fell. Using more strength I threw the other leg and jumped off.
I walked around for a while looking behind the bushes and trees searching for Ricky.
" Hey nimrod." The voice came from the door,"You could've knocked." She was leaning against the doorway with shorts and black tank top.
"I uh just decided to make an entrance." I awkwardly pointed towards the fence.
"Sure you did. Come in." She walked inside.
I wearily followed her inside. I shut the door behind me and locked it.
"Come to my room." She hurried up the stairs and I couldn't help but smile.
I ran after her.
"Sooooo what do you want?" I closed the door and sat at her desk. Her room was nice and neat. Nothing like her.
She looked away sitting cross legged on her bed,"You know what I want."
I shook my head and whispered,"You know I can't. Or-"
"You. Don't. Want. To." She said clenching her teeth.
"I'm sorry. But I- I well don't feel the same way." I massaged my neck and looked away.
She got up and walked to me.
She sat on me and whispered in my ear,"Then I will tell your secret."
I shoved her off,"This is what you wanted me to come to you for."
"I am making a deal. Do you want it or not!"
I pondered hard. I didn't know what else to do. But I wasn't going to give up. Liela wouldn't. Lienna would. "No."
She walked away on her tiptoes and sat by her window. "You have changed. I'll keep your secret because you're not Lienna. You're different." her voice got shaky.
"I'm leaving." I was about to walk out of the room when I heard her hesitate.
"You and me aren't so different. We seem tough. But we are actually week. You and me have the same personality."
"No we don't,"  I peered at her,"I am tough. I'm not weak. Lienna died. Now Liela her cousin is here."
"That's what I'm worried about."
