Betty POV:

I stood opposite my two friends as I told them the problem I was facing.

Betty: I don't want him to be mad at me. I told Fangs and Toni.

They're both Ghoulies. The Ghoulies are one of two gangs on the South Side.

Fangs: I don't think there's any way you can get him to necessarily approve. He said.
Toni: yeah, I wouldn't have high hopes that he'll be impressed. She said.
Betty: he's going to hate me. I groaned.
Malachai: who's going to hate you Princesa? He asked me.

Malachai is the king of the Serpents and my best friend.

We've known each other since we were four. He's my everything. He's done so much for me, stuff I will never be able to repay him for.

Betty: can we talk alone? I asked him and he nodded his head.

We linked arms as we walked away from the party behind us.

Malachai: is everything okay? He asked as I let go of him.
Betty: no. I sighed, looking away from him.

What Malachai thinks is so important to me.

Malachai: what's going on Betts? You're really worrying me. He said as he walked over to me.

Betty: I'm going on a date tomorrow night. I said.

I have a date with the Serpents king, Sweet Pea Connor.

They're rival gangs and hate each other.

I hate that I've caught feelings for Sweet Pea because I know how unhappy this will make Malachai. And I never want to hurt him.

Malachai: okay. He chuckled.
Malachai: I don't see why you're worried over that. You're allowed to date Betty. He said with amusement.
Betty: it's with Sweet Pea. I said and I watched as his smile instantly faded.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I don't want this to affect our friendship.

Malachai: woah. He said.
Betty: I'm sorry. I said as I turned to face him.
Malachai: how long have you been talking to him? He asked, not looking at me.
Betty: the first time we talked was only yesterday Kai. You have to believe me. I said as my voice broke.

He took a few steps away from me, still not looking in my direction.

Betty: Malachai. I cried out.

He let out an angry grunt as he turned to face me.

He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. I let out a shaky breath as I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tight.

Malachai: don't cry Princesa. He whispered softly.
Betty: I don't want you to be mad at me. I said into his shoulder.

He rubbed my back gently, making me feel safe with him.

Malachai: I'm not mad at you. He said.
Betty: you are. I said.
Malachai: I don't know what I am, but I'm not mad. He said.
Betty: promise? I sniffled.
Malachai: I promise. He said as he gave me a soft smile.

We had both unwrapped our arms from each other and stood in a moment of silence.

Malachai: come on, let's go home. He said and I nodded my head.

He held out his hand and I took it. He pulled me closer towards him and he gave me a small smile.

We said a quick goodbye to some of our friends and we headed home.
