I Love My Best Friend

Chapter 4 - I fucking hate your guts

I was so bored today, it was matter of fact, because Alex left me all alone like not actually all alone in some dark room or something, it was that he was absent today and I felt the urge to see what was happening? I felt kinda miserable today but though it wasn't some kind weird thing, it really felt much better when Edward came around to keep company.

"Hey sweet cheeks." He said pinching my cheeks like I was some teddy bear. "Hello Mr. Pricked nose." I joked giggling. "What's up lately?" He asked smirking. "Nothing fun, just whacking my head on this history project." I joked smiling. "Oh let me see it." He asked gesturing to look at what it was. He scanned the book and then grinned like a master of history. "Figured something out?" I asked smiling. "Yeah..."' He said grinning still looking at the book.

"Okay, so here it is. Well, the French Revolution was about all the people getting angry because their Kings were being shitty. The royals and the church people used to take advantage of the peasants and normal guys out there, getting as much as tax they could get. Just what the government is doing with us now." He shook the book away and smiled.

"Wow! You're a genius." I said sarcasm evident in my voice. "Girl get a grip!" Edward teased. I rolled my eyes, but for some reason, the corner of my lips tugged, making a slight grin appear on my face. "I know I'm funny." He continued to tease. I smacked his chest getting up and picking my books.

"Anderson you owe me one!" He shouted as I was half way walking out of the library. The librarian shushed him. "Don't shush me." Edward muttered under his breath. I silently giggled at his words.

Walking out of the library, I don't know, somehow Edward caught up his pace with mine. "So this explain why you are a jock eh?" I said teasing him. Now it is my turn. "You can say that." He smirked looking down at me. Hah he is 6'3 and I'm 5'4. He is just so tall for me.

"Yeah, so you want me to use words like shitty in my book?" I asked smirking devilishly. "No! Of course not, you can write umm-Umm-" I cut him off. "Cruel." I spoke smiling. Anyways I had to head to our table in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Edward aren't you coming?" I asked, one eyebrow up.

"Yeah sure, I'll tag along." He spoke, giving me a bright smile.

We both walked in silence, it wasn't awkward, it was comforting none of us felt the need to bring up something. "Hey, you know what umm, do you want grab a coffee later?" Edward asking breaking the ice.

"Sure why not?" I smiled genuinely at him. Edward looked away for some reason. What's wrong with him? We finally reached the cafeteria door and I swiftly opened it to get greeted by chattering and shouting, people shifting and taking the tray of food, sitting with their friends and chatting their day out.

My eyes wandered for an empty table when my eyes landed on Alex and Grace. What?! What are they doing here? I thought Alex was absent and was worrying about him, but him?! He just doesn't get it! He is with Grace for like every second minute! What has gotten into him.

How could he forget me? His best friend? Tears threatened to fall but I sucked them in, I turned around, anger boiling up inside me. How could he? Hot, angry tears fell down my eyes as I ran through the halls and corridors bumping into people shoulders making my way through the crowded regions.

I bumped into something really hard which made me whimper and scream in pain. I doubled in pain and exhaustion, and looked around for any medium of help.

Finally deciding that I was far more braver and stronger than this I stood up and speed walked through the empty, isolated corridor.

I crash yet into something hard falling of onto the cold, harsh floor dragging along the thing I bumped into. I must've fractured a rib or two. The weight that was exerted on me was endless and too much to handle. I quickly open my eyes that were shut closed tightly.

"Andrea?" A soft voice almost like melody to my ears awoken my senses and I was suddenly aware of Edward being on top of me. My heart started beating 100 miles per hour and I couldn't think straight. His cinnamon smell made me swoon over him as his blue eyes looked right into my fragile body.

"What the hell is happening?" We were brought back to reality by our dazed thoughts, Alex's voice boomed in the abandoned corridor which made me let out a slight gasp.

"Nothing that you need to know of." I retorted my tone was so bitter I could taste the steeliness in it.

"Edward.. Why were you on Andrea?" Alex looked furious yet puzzled.

"I-I, look it doesn't matter okay?" Edward replies trying to avoid any fights.

"It does!" Alex shouted on top of his voice. The hallway roared with the words and I felt myself trembling with fear. Alex wasn't angry at little things unless it was really necessary and was bugging him too much.

The scared part of me told me to shut up and walk up but my bolder: bigger part told me to fight against him, for the timing I hated Alex's guts and I just wanted to punch him right on his face.

"First of all," I started- taking a dramatic pause, "you didn't drop me to school saying you were 'sick' second of all.. You came to school and didn't even tell me that you were present but in fact you were with this slut all through the day." I spoke bitterly trying to hide my hatred for both of them.

There was silence. The ones which were in horror movies so frightening and eerie.

"Andrea, shut your fucking mouth and quit judging Grace." Alex said, I could see him clenching his fist and grinding his teeth.

"What will you do huh? I will call her anything why do you care? Are you in love with her?" I said looking at him, he closed his eyes looking like he was controlling his temper.

"Just drop it dammit!"

I was shocked, never ever did Alex shout at me with such anger and hatred, I felt my insides melting and my knees turning into jelly but I had self control and so I stopped myself from my already collapsing state.

Alex enough of your grimness. How can you be like this to me? To your best friend? To me from all the people, why me?

"Remember one thing Alex... You have shouted at me for the first time and I want this to be the last time. If you ever do this again, I sure as hell am gonna break our friendship." And with that said I turned on my heels and walked out of the empty corridors.

Enough of this bullshit.
