Handcuffed Rivals

„Klo!" I runned to the fainted silhouettes hauling Kings weight with me like I've just been at the market and mum forced me to walk alone with grocery bags full of stuff I probably won't eat. The figures argued in various tones, from ugly fighting ones to whispers as I could recall hearing one to be from Klo.

Approaching, Dan was the first one to salute me turning frustrated towards my swetty forehead „what the fuck took you so long? Do you know how stubborn this shit is?" he turned around again pointing a glare towards our best friend.

„Shut up! You really didn't have to come. This is a waste of time. You are wasting your time!" Klo returned the look to Dan avoiding the unfamilliar surroundings of Kings hearing and being. Although she knew him, she still didn't feel cosy enough to let him know things like this and I took notice of it but Dan didn't mind.

„Listen you madwoman! You can't just confess your feelings out of a blue to a guy. You just don't do this stuff okay?" he yelled in her face ignoring their new additional accessory in the back, King, who didn't really care what was going on, just wanted to go to his house and settle some things with his father like he mentioned to me a dozen of times when I dragged him behind me in a hurried motion. Seemed far away now when he had to follow me for my rescue mission.

„I know that but haven't you read anything about men? They like it when girls take control, when they know what they want. It makes them feel-„

I interrupted her before she could finish that awful speech of self-motivation she probably read on Instagram and thought she could follow up „fear, confusion, run for the hills?" I emphasized the last phrase.

„No!" Klo raised both of her hands in the air „why did you bring her with you when clearly none of you know what I'm talking about?" she turned away from me again and resolved to putting all her anger and rage to Dans exterior. He was freaking out and I was glad to be here with both of them to prevent another disaster coming. I didn't even know which of the houses belonged to Mark and hoped it wasn't the one in front of which all of us decided to argue.

„Oh honey we do know. That's why we're trying to save you from embarrassement." I tried again before she cut me off „I think I know what I'm doing okay? I don't need your pessimistic asses telling me I'm not good enough!"

Dan exhailed loudly and I took the lead this time „I'm not telling you that! I would never ever tell you that, you hear me? I'm your best friend and I think this is absolute bullshit and that he is an ass but if you really want to do that then do, if that's what it takes for you to realise what a piece of shit he is then go be my guest!" Dan looked at me like I've grown two heads and like all his hard work flied away in front of his eyes.

„Are you serious right now?" he yelled blinking with his eyes to convince himself this wasn't just a dream of his, a nightmare „I wouldn't have called you if I knew this is what you'd tell her. How does that help her?"

„I don't know okay?" I yelled at him this time and soon everyone was yelling at each other saying all those things that none of us really knew what the other one was saying or what either of us wanted to say.

King pulled me by my arm and yelled as loudly as he could startling us all with his strong aura „enough!"

I looked behind me to his tall frame mesmerized by his tactics, fast and efficent movement that had us all silent, Klo and Dan glaring at him while I just stood there.

„You crazy girl, guys don't like that, guys like silent girls who don't talk much and occasionally yell but only during sex. You gay guy, I agree on the calling-should've just gone with the flow or yet alone just let her do whatever, you bitch-can we get going? I didn't sign up for this shit and franky my friends are monastery comparing to this lunatics." By the time he was finished with his pointing finger, my cheeks flamed with anger but Klo was the first one to make a reaction, which we all didn't think would ever happen, not by hearing King out.
