Old and new friends (7)

*Jonathan*

We were walking to our secret spot after some boring hours of school, and somehow we started talking about our friends.

"So how's your best friend like? Is she annoying like you, or she's different?" I said.

"Oh, Daphne's way more annoying than me. Comparing to her, I'm not annoying at all. She can be a pain in the a** sometimes, like when I wanted to play sports with the boys, and she had nothing to do, she just grabbed me to stay with her and do nothing together. Like once I protested, and then she got all of the boys out of the game, so I had no one to play with. But I didn't give up, I just kept practicing on my own. Then she removed her high heel of her foot and threw it right in my head."

"Only because you wanted to play and not stay there doing nothing with her?"

"Yeppo. I didn't reject any of her decisions after that."

"Poor you."

"You wanna know something else she did?"

"I have nothing better to do."

"So every Saturday we went shopping. I hated shopping but she loved it. Once I pretended my mom didn't let me go. She came to my house and she cursed my mother, so she could let me go with her. I apologized to my mom when I got back home, but I still got grounded for two months."

I started laughing.

"Oh my gawd. She sounds like a total b*tch."

In that moment Alex turned angry.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT HER?" She raised her arm ready to slap at me with all of her strength.

"Nothing, nothing. Just a quick friendship test, haha."

"Oh I thought you were serious."

Of course I was serious, I was just afraid of my a** getting whooped by a girl.

"Nah, just kidding"

"And what about your best friend? If you have one of course..." she chuckled

"Haha, of course I do. Lucien is pretty selfish mostly, and he loves social media. If you text him at any hour of the day, he'll respond in a second. Sometimes he texts me at 4 am: Hey I'm bored. Wanna chat?"

"Hahaha"

"Every time we hang out, he brings his cellphone and takes one million selfies per hour, and adds one thousand stories. But he thinks that because I'm his friend, I'm obligated to see them all, so I spend an hour without even looking at them, just tapping my phone screen."

Alex started laughing again.

"I bet Lucien and Daphne would be a perfect couple."

"Totally agree."

"Anyways, which school did you transfer from?"

"Beckham high."

"Oh that's where my bestie transferred in."

Suddenly Alex's phone rang.

"It's my bestie. Wait I'll respond."

She answered the videocall.

"Hi, how are you today my BTD? WAIT A SECOND? Who's that by your side?"

"Lucien. I have an announcement to make. WE'RE DATING AGHHHHH!"

"LUCIEN? LUCIEN AS JONATHAN'S BEST FRIEND?"

"Hi!" Lucien confirmed "Yes I am. WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW JONATHAN?"

In that moment I showed up on the video call to confirm if it was MY Lucien. AND IT WAS MY LUCIEN!

"LUCIEN??" I shouted.

"Wait, ALEX." Daphne continued. "You told me you didn't even like Mr. Grumpy and he talks to you about his BEST FRIEND?"

"IT WAS JUST WHERE OUR CONVERSATION LEAD." Alex defended herself.

"WAIT WHY'S JONATHAN WITH THIS GIRL?" Lucien was yelling to Daphne.

"I HAVE NO IDEA, OK? SHE TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T LIKE HIM!" Daphne continued.

I couldn't find the words to say, so I just was as loud as I could be:

"SHUT IT YOU TWO! Girls, please give me and Lucien your phones, to explain everything to each other."

Alexis refused.

"Oh no, I won't make the same mistake twice" she whispered to me. "I'll hold my phone while you speak."

"Ok." I whispered back to her.

"Now let me explain the situation." I continued. "Me and Alex were just talking about our best friends, and which school I transferred from, which happened to be the same school you're going Daphne. And Lucien's my best friend in there too."

Daphne took the phone.

"Alexis, can you explain to me now why you and Jonathan were together?"

"We were just walking to our secret spot." Alex said.

Lucien continued:

"So you both have a secret spot..."

"...And you say you're not dating?" Daphne finished his sentence.

"WE'RE NOT! But guess who called YOU TWO AS A COUPLE just a minute ago?" Alexis continued.

"Who?" Lucien was being dumb as always.

"Me, dumba**" Alex laughed. "Me and Nattie here."

"Ooo, Nattie..." Lucien raised his eyebrows ironically. "You already have love nicknames."

"We must do a double date" proposed Daphne.

"WE'RE NOT DATING!" both me and Alex shouted at them.

"Yeah, whatever." they said, and gave each other a look like they wanted to say: "They're totally dating."

"Anyways, we expect you both at that new sundae place this Saturday at 5." Daphne said.

"To explain to us your "Not dating" situation" Lucien continued.

"Bye" they both said and ended the videocall.

Ugh, could two people be more annoying than that?

"See, I told you that they'd make a perfect couple. Mr. and Ms. Annoying!" Alex broke the awkward ice that got between us after the call.

"Couldn't agree more" I confirmed.
