My Bestfriend's Brother novel Chapter 5

I had successfully avoided Daniel for two days but today wasn't my lucky day as he was standing right in front of me and trust me,he wasn't smiling.

''Hi Daniel." I greeted looking everywhere else but at him and he just gave me the 'are you serious' look

"We need to talk."

"I know about the kiss I'm sorry I shouldn't have, it was a spur of the moment and I don't want it to destroy the friendship we have managed to establish over the years.Thanks for understanding." I rushed out before he would say anything I wouldn't be able to handle, and I saw a hurt flash through his face but he masked it with a small smile. I was imagining a lot of things lately.

"That was a lot,but okay." He said

"Isn't that what you were going to say too?"

''Of course."

''Thanks.I've got to class now."

''It's just lunch time."

''Oh I thought I heard the bell." I lied.

''You don't have to make things awkward now like you said,it was a spur of the moment." He was using my words against

me...real mature.

''Let's go then." I said smiling tightly

DANIEL'S POV

Hearing vee say it was a spur of the moment destabilized my whole train of thought, so this was what heartbreak felt like.Even though I was hurt, I wouldn't let it come between us. I've worked so hard to let a kiss spoil everything.

''Hey babe." Tessa called when she saw me sit.Now's not the time...but I stopped myself. Spur of the moment my foot I was going to prove it wasn't.

''Hey Tessa, how are you?'' I smiled and I could see Jason staring at me and I was sure he could tell things didn't go as planned.

''Come and eat, I kept some for you,"she went on.

''Okay thanks." I said sitting beside her as Vee took the empty seat beside Jason.

''Victoria been a while,are you avoiding me?'' Gideon asked while Jason kept staring at me as if he was trying to tell me something.

''Of course not, just busy with school work."

"We are seniors but we still create time for friends."He continued."

''I'm sorry." she said, picking on her food slowly.

''So you are......what do you think?'' Tessa asked and it turned out she had been talking.

''Perfect." I said even though I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.

''Great.I'm happy you think the same." What is she even talking about?

''Me too."

Vee was quiet throughout lunch even her new friend Liz noticed because she kept asking what was wrong.

"Let's go babe." Tessa said all of a sudden

"To where?'' I was totally lost now and at the same time vee excused herself from the table.

"I want to tell you something."

''Just tell me here." I wasn't in the mood again

''You agreed." perfect,the one time I did not pay attention.

''Let's go and make it fast."

''Sure''

''What did you want to tell me?'' I asked as she brought me to a secluded part of the school.

''I don't know if you noticed,but I like you...I mean,like like you."

''This is not happening right now." I thought.

''Uhm...Tessa...how do I go about this??''

"You don't have to say anything now you know."

"Ok thanks." I heaved out a sigh in relief

"Yea." And all of a sudden,she kissed me and I wanted to push her away but I remembered Vee and the 'Spur of the moment' so I kissed her back even though it was nothing like the one with Vee but it was something.

''What was that for." I asked.

''You kissed me back so answer me." she smiled mischievously before turning back to leave.

"Girls...ugh...so confusing sets of humans." I said rolling my eyes

VICTORIA'S POV

He kissed her just two days after our kiss and why do I have to be the one to witness it again?I had gone to clear my head and when Tessa saw me,she kissed him that is after smiling at me and he responded.This time,I couldn't stop the tears coming from my eyes.

Using my handkerchief, I wiped the tears away from my face. Matching back to the table,I took my leftovers and dropped them in the waste bin before heading back to the room. I was definitely skipping the rest of the class. I could hear footsteps behind me but I didn't mind as I ran all the way to the room.

''You wanna tell me what's going on with you and why my brother is suddenly attracted to Tessa?'' A frowning Anna asked a few minutes after I entered the room.

"Nothing is going on." I lied

"Don't give me that lie,first you avoid Daniel then crying coming from the same direction he went with Tessa." She was getting angry too.

''I'm sorry." I told her before breaking down.

"You're supposed to tell me everything, I'm

your best friend." she said, hugging me.

"I kissed Daniel and he kissed me back too." I said finally making her look at me like I lost my mind.

"Is it safe to say this is a tear of joy even if I'm not convinced."

Knowing it wasn't fair to keep secrets from her since she tells me everything.

I then told her everything that happened with Daniel from that night when I saw him with Tessa.

"Oh my god?'' she exclaimed, " you guys finally kissed,then he kissed Tessa, this is so messed up."
