My Best Friend's Brother | ✔

Chapter 19

Adam's POV

I feel relieved that Ariel and I are back friends again. It feels good that I'll be able to be close to her again and smell her sweet vanilla scent. I also feel an emotion that I have no name for but I push the feeling back. Although I'm happy that we talked out out issues, I feel.... less manly that she was the one who had to relieve the tension between us. I shouldn't, but I do.
I guess it's a guy thing.

Knock Knock.

I'm brutally ripped from my thoughts by a knock at my door.

"Enter." I speak.

"You asshole!" Libby shouts while entering my room.

"Nice to see you too sis." I say sarcastically while playing a game on my phone.

"What's going on between you and Ariel? And why hasn't my ship left the port yet?" She ask angrily.

"You heard her, we're just friends. Everything's back to the way it was." I say quoting part of her words. I couldn't help the distasteful way the words felt on my tongue.

"That's just something girls say." She says aggravated.

"Look, Libby, can't you just drop it?"

"No. I can't 'just drop it'. She states sourly.

"I don't see what's wrong." I say not looking at her.

"What's wrong? It's the fact that you both like each other and are in denial."

"Aren't you supposed to to be in your room with Ariel painting your nails or something?"

"No she's on the phone with her mother." Libby says now taking a seat on my bed.

"Hm."

After about three minutes, she speaks.

"You know, I haven't seen you brought someone in this room for a very very long time." She says smirking and rubbing her index finger over my bedside table.

"Your point?"

"No point." She says sending me an evil smile.

"Are you done?"

"For now." She says and walks through the door.

--------------------------

"This is the only thing I didn't miss." Ariel chuckles as we walk into school and girls send her glares.

"Hey Ariel! Wait up." I scowl as Landon runs towards Ariel and smile while she smiles back.

"Hey." She says sweetly and tilts her head sending an even more beautiful smile.

"So, I was wondering if I could-"

"No." I cut him off.

Libby looks at Landon distastefully and I internally smile at her. Ariel gives me a confused look while Landon rolls his eyes.

"I was just going to ask for her Biology notes asshole."

I'm getting ready to jump at him when Ariel stops me.

"Heyyy..... just cool down." She whispers.

I draw back sending daggers at Landon. A flash of fear goes through his eyes but he quickly covers it with a smirk.

"Here you go Landon."She reaches on her bag and hands him a notebook.

"Thanks, I'll see you later." He turns around and leaves.
