17 New best friend (2/2)
”Hey, I finished the book!! Argh, the feels!!”
Cathy was quick to reply.
”Hahaha, I understand. I was like that when I finished it too! Honestly, I love this author so much!! She can convey each character's feeling so well... it almost like you're the character yourself! It's magical...”
Seeing the message, Renae's heart felt warm. She had finally found someone that shared the same passion as her — reading! They chatted for a long time about the book, from start to end, before moving on to book recommendations.
Even so, they had to end their conversation since it was dinner time. Renae walked to the dinning table, where her parents were already sitting.
”Mum, dad, eat,” Renae said respectfully as she sat down. They nodded their heads and started their meals. ”So how was school today?” Her mum asked, placing a chicken wing into her bowl. Renae smiled and replied, ”It was fine. Do you guys know? Matthew's family returned for some time.” ”Oh! No, we didn't know... we need to have a gathering soon. It's been so long! I haven't seen Auntie Ann and Uncle Jeffery in such a long time!”
They talked their way through dinner. When they finished, the sky was already completely dark. After helping wash the dishes and wipe the dinning table, Renae returned to her room. What were Cathy's book recommendations again? I better check and note them down... Renae thought to herself, switching her phone on.
She read through the messages, her lips curving into a smile. Renae had a feeling this friendship wasn't going to be short-lived.
The next 3 days were as per usual, nothing special, just another normal day. It was until the 5th day of school did a huge commotion begin. Everyone was talking about this rich girl.
”The rich girl's back...”
”Ugh I don't like her. Look at her, she looks so proud. Just because she's rich doesn't mean she can get so whatever she wants.”
Her name is Min. Her family apparently owns the school and many other well-known malls. The reason for why she was not here in school for the past 5 days is because she was still on a trip with her parents in England.
Min arrived in school with sunglasses on, wearing high heels, carrying a designer Gucci bag, and she wasn't even in the proper school attire! She stepped out of her own pink lp670-4 sv Lamborghini and walked towards Matthew who just got out of his car.
She stopped Matthew and introduced herself, ”Hi, I'm Min. Let's us rich people be friends.” She paused momentarily then continued to talk to Matthew. ”Oh and we shouldn't be friends with peasants like her,” she added, pointing at Renae.
He didn't even bother introducing himself. Matthew just glared at Min, a freezing cold look suffusing the depths of his eyes. But that didn't make Min leave, she still clung onto Matthew as if they were in a relationship.
Matthew then began to say, ”Who I befriend is none of your business.” Afterwards, he grabbed Renae's hand and walked into the school.
During lunch break, Min went into Matthew's class and asked him to accompany her for lunch. However, Matthew rejected her.
Kaiden and Renae so happened to be walking in the school corridor. ”You see, that guy already stolen your little girlfriend of yours. She isn't suited to be a friend of yours or your girlfriend... but I am,” she said proudly.
Matthew's reply was short. ”Get lost.” This reply still failed to make Min leave his side.
At this moment, Renae walked into the classroom and asked Matthew, ”Hey, Kaiden and I are going to get a drink. You want to come along?”
Before Matthew could answer, Min said, ”Like you said, you already have Kaiden. Why do you still need Matthew? Now run along. Matthew is mine!”
