My Bestfriend's Other Bestfriend

Chapter 8

(John Collins)

I'm still busy with the photo shoot. My schedule become fully loaded since I've been taking day offs. I am currently with Steph. Well, she was always my leading lady.

I even notice that her mumbling is getting worse by day. She kept talking to herself.

"You okay?" I asked. She startled and looked at me.

"Ye-yeah," she was stammering. "I need to go." She was already leaving when I grabbed her hand.

"I'll take you home. I already done my part," I said. We headed to my car. She remain silent the whole time. A phone ring.

"John, are you free next Saturday? Sarah is inviting us. Beach outing?" she asked.

"Sure, I'm free," I lied. I have to double time my work. I am worried about Steph. I think she was hiding something and it bothers me a lot.

"Why is that jerk here?" she meanly asked everyone. Her eyes is totally glaring at me. Still hates my presence. I've been over that. I don't want to do the hate thing anymore since I understand her side now. Besides, I've been hanging out with her lately and it was really fun to see her famous mean side.

"Sarah invited me," I said confidently. I guess, I was already part of their circle of friends.

She glare at Sarah's direction. Sarah became nervous of the way she looked at her.

"A-ah. Because it was our fourth anniversary. And I just wanted to share this moment to everyone. Come on, Kayla. Don't look at me like that," Sarah explained.

Mark and Sarah was celebrating their fourth anniversary by inviting everyone. Me, Steph and Kayla.

We hurriedly get rooms each at the resort. Everybody is excited because there is less people here at the resort. We met at the lobby. The girls are wearing two piece. Kayla had a dress on top of her. I think she was the most sensitive on them.

Kayla was the first one to splash into the water. She wasn't so excited, huh?

"Kayla, put on some sunblock first!" Sarah shouted. Kayla had been long gone when she shouted that.

"She wasn't listening," I utter.

"I know. She was a hard-headed girl but loves getting tan on the beach," Sarah agree.

"Don't tell me Kayla ran off swiming wearing a dress, again?" It was Steph's voice. She suddenly popped up out of nowhere.

"Yup, she did it again. Too bad, I can't see her perfect body," Mark answered. That gives Sarah a scary face.

"You pervert!"

Sarah throws everything she touch to Mark. While Mark is dodging everything or else I would call an ambulance to sent him.

"You seemed occupied," I commented.

She shook her head and smile.

"It was nothing," Steph said.

"But you are acting strange lately. Care to tell me what is going on." I sat on the beach sand. I heard her sigh. She also seated next to me. We are both gazing at Kayla far from us.

"I overheard Carl and Kayla's conversation few days ago. He was begging, kneeling and crying. Kayla was hesitant to say her words. Carl still loves her," her tone voice was not concern. More like she was mad.
