[book 01 of the emotionally entangled series]
An attachment between two former best friends was something no one expected, especially from two polar opposites.
Owen Bowers was level-headed, imposing his influence wherever he went. With an unsympathe...

"Jaxon, I swear to God if you dare insult me like that again, I will shove your head so far up your ass." I turned suddenly, a surprised look on my face when I heard Nicole snap. She was too busy having Jaxon's head in a headlock to pay attention to me, but I could tell he was struggling. I mean, he deserved it. It wasn't obvious as to what he said, but it resembled something like 'hair looking like a bird's nest'.
"Hey, sugartits, can you help me with something?" Michael asked me as I looked up to see him struggling with his books. I placed my lip balm away and walked over to him, holding my hands out to take some books from him so he can get his stuff sorted out. Recently, the teachers have really been harsh on us, setting us as much work before the end of the year. Michael's been given the absolute lot by our English teacher, "thank you."
I smiled up at him as he finally sorted out his bag and I handed the books back to him. We were all heading out to the field before the winter weather takes away the nice warmth of the place. All of us, well, except Owen and Darren were heading there. I still had a feeling he wasn't done with Darren's punishment. I'll admit that Darren was like a brother to Owen, but his behaviour didn't excuse anything. He deserved it and I don't care what people say, it's true.
"Oh, where's Owen, B? Isn't he coming?" Coco asked as she sat down on the grass that now had gained back it's colour due to the cooler environment and wet weather a couple of days ago. It was a vibrant green that would soon disappear when Winter came. I shrugged and before I could speak up, Kelly does so herself.
"Still killing Darren I expect," she said as we all settled in a small circle, our bags scattered around with our books. Cass was reading through a book on the history of the French Revolution whilst Coco was getting her math book out from her bag. The air was still a bit awkward even after Kelly gave Darren the know-how. Darren hasn't been hanging around us that much anymore and instead, stayed with Michael whenever he wasn't with us. I guess he's a bit embarrassed.
"Well, wherever he is, he better hurry up. We have a chemistry test next and I bet you fifty dollars he hasn't studied for it," I retorted playfully with a smile. Owen never studies, but yet he gets one of the best scores in the class. He's got some of that magic in his head, I bet. To be honest, he always was smart and good at problem solving. Either that or he cheats, but I know he'll just wonder 'what is the point of cheating?'
I settled into a good conversation with Coco and Nicole as we spoke about winter break. Mom was away again on a business trip, but she was coming back for Christmas a few days before Christmas Day so I had two weeks to kill by myself. We had the idea of going away for a while, maybe for a weekend or a week at Nicole's parents' cabin. Oh, it wasn't really a cabin. It was like a mansion made out of wood, but there was enough room for all of us.
