"Adelle, what are you doing ?"
Rajwan asked, looking at me holding my phone.
"Texting Millie."Let me tell you something.
I met Millie Bobby Brown in one of the huge parties, and since then we became best friends.
Lately I wrote short stories, and I wanted Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, Gaten Matrazzo and Caleb McLaughlin to be the stars, Millie was helping me contact them.Millie, How are you doing ?
I typed, staring up to Rajwan, then at the place we were in.
San Stefano Mall.
Great, Thanks ! I missed my best friend.
She typed, and I smiled.Rajwan rolled his eyes.
I missed you too. How's everything going ? Sent 04:07 pm.
"Is this a Smartphone trip or something ?"
My brother said sarcastically.I felt a crash into my body, and I looked up.
"..Christina ? Joselle ?"
My two classmates stood in front of me, looking happy.
I guess that's because they saw Rajwan.
Every girl is crushing over my brother these days.Millie, give me a few minutes. I met someone.
Sent 04:08 pm.
"Hey, Adelle ! How are you ?"
Christina said, enthusiastic.
Joselle's face went slight red as she stared shyly at Rajwan.Told you.
I hugged them quickly, and Rajwan just waved.
"Hey, guys ! What are you two doing here ?"
Robert, Christina's dad waved at me.
I waved back. He left us alone after.
"oh, you know, here to buy dear Christina a new calculator."Joselle said, staring up at Christina sarcastically, as Christina spoke back, also in sarcasm.
"I did not ask you to come."
I was beyond confused."wait, why ?"
"Mine got stolen."
What..?
I eyed her in shock.
"When was the last time you saw it ?""Like..a week ago."
Christina said, also taking a glimpse of Rajwan eventually.
I glanced at Rajwan, who, at the same time, glanced back at me."Adelle, we..want to ask you something.."
Christina spoke nervously.
I think I knew what she was going to ask.
Maybe she's doubting me or something.
Yup, I guess I'm used to doubt people all the time."How long..-have you known Menna Tawfiq ?"
Joselle continued the question as she, and I, both realized that Christina was too nervous to say it.
Rajwan glanced at me.I was too shocked and confused to say it. I don't know why, but I was.
"Since 7th grade. She was new to the school, and clearly didn't know how to fit in, we slowly became friends after. Close friends eventually."Christina nodded awkwardly.
"So you..don't think she might've stole my calculater ?"
I didn't know how to answer.
What should I say ?"No, of course not..Christina, Menna would never do something like this to ruin her friendship with you two. She began to make new friends, and I'm happy for her. Especially if it includes you two as friends."
I don't know why I said that.
I don't know why I stood up for her.Rajwan gave me a quick glimpse of confusion, but quickly turned away without them noticing as I smiled comfortingly at the two best friends.
To Be Continued..
