One Night Stand with My Best Friend

Oh! Mandy

“Wait, Sav, are you interested in Ryland Rodes?” Ned asked, his eyes trained warily at Sav. He then averted his eyes to where Ryland was still sitting. Ned looked worried.

“Well, yeah. Have you seen him?” Sav sighed dreamily, glancing at Ryland’s table.

“But he’s just so…so…,” Ned trailed flicking his hand as he searched for a word in his head to describe him.

“Anti social.” Kyle suggested.

“Yes! That’s it.” Ned hit his hands on the table, startling both me and Sav.

“That’s because he thinks too lowly of guys around here.” Sav shrugged. “He sounded completely normal when I was talking to him. So flirty too.”

“Too lowly of us?” Ned was astonished.

“Well, yeah. But I think that might be because he’s supposed to be a year older than us. He’s on grade retention.”

“Wait, he transferred down?” I asked, surprised at this fact. In fact, staring at him now, it kind of made sense. The whole bad boy austerity.

“But for only two of the subjects he failed last year.”

“Well kudos to him. He can think lowly of us however he likes. I’m not looking to be friends with him anyway.” Kyle said.

I turned to him with my mouth agape. This was a surprise considering Kyle was cool with everyone.

Kyle avoided my accusing stare and chose to frown somewhere else. I looked towards where he was currently staring.

Mandy Braxton. Of course. Mandy Braxton was that one girl you knew that had everything she wanted. She was that girl whose father owned some companies and so was consequently treated as a princess. She was that sweetly fake girl that had an era of fake posse worshiping her very being.

I had no problem with Mandy Braxton. Our paths never crossed before. I had no opinion about her she had no opinion about me. Like most cliché she wasn’t the supposedly b!tch of the school that treated everyone like shít. No, Mandy Braxton knew what she wanted and got wanted. Besides everything was offered on platter for her to take and do as she pleased.

I had no problem with Mandy Braxton but Kyle did.Ever since the beginning of high school, Kyle has had the biggest crush on Mandy Braxton as far as I remember.

Before he lost the nerd look, he never plucked up the courage to go and talk to her. It was after he became this just-too-damn-sexy-to-be-real. For that time, he’d forgotten about Mandy Braxton since all the girls were throwing themselves at him, literally.

It wasn’t until last month when he bumped into her that he remembered his crush on her. He instantly turned on his charm on her, expecting her to fall unto his feet like most girls, but, he had been in for a surprise when she didn’t ever batter her eyelashes at him.

I had tried and failed not laugh at him when he’d repeated how she just gave him a dirty look, as if he were trash, before strutting off the opposite direction.

Since then, he has been smitten, which was surprising since she was the longest girl he’d ever chased.

“Aww Kyle, its cute how you’re drooling again.” I smirked as I teased him.

Ned looked at where we both were staring and started snickering.

“Oh Mandy,

Well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking,” Ned began singing.

I couldn’t pass this opportunity as I joined him by finishing with, “And I need you today, oh Mandy.”

Kyle glared at the both of us, his jaw tightening in slight anger. “Shut the fuuk up!”Ned and I both laughed at him as we continued teasing him, Sav joined in once she stopped gawking over at Ryland’s table and lunch break, for me, felt like blast.

“Seriously though.” Ned said. “Why don’t you just ask her out?”

“Never. I don’t do girlfriends even if its Mandy Braxton. But goddamit I want to fûck her so bad.” Kyle groaned, defeated.

I was way past being disgusted by the conversation Kyle and Ned always had regarding girls and their s*x life.

“Maybe she doesn’t like the way you speak to her.” I suggested. “Did you ever try just having a normal conversation with her, instead of one involving the terminology of s*x?”

Kyle narrowed his eyes at me. “What will that achieve?” He asked. “In the end all I want is her v****a, not a relationship.”

“For Pete’s sake Kyle!” I scolded him.

“What? It’s the truth.” He shrugged.

I stared at him disgustingly before closing my eyes, praying for divine intervention to help me, not strangle this boy.

“But isn’t she longest girl you’ve ever chased?” Sav asked curious.

“And the longest to ever resist me.” He said grumpily.

“Oh I see, you find her challenging.” Sav snickered.

“He just enjoys the chase,” I added. And we all laughed at him. While he gave each of us one of his dont-mess-with-me glares.

“I’m breaking her, I’m telling you, by the end of this week she’s going to give in.” He affirmed.

“Oh yeah?” Ned asked. “You wanna bet?”

Kyle gave him a challenging look before shaking hands with him. “I get to b¡tch slap you three times in your face.”

Ned winced and that told me that he’s felt the strength of Kyle’s slaps. “And I do the same to you.” He sealed the deal.

I rolled my eyes at them and turned to Sav for a more sane conversation but that was when the school bell rang and lunch ended.

“English right now?” Sav asked me.

I was draping my backpack onto my shoulder as I nodded at her.

The way she was staring over Ryland’s table told me how much she wished she could take my place in that English class.

“Okay, Sav, I’m starting to think you’ve developed a crush on him. We need to talk about this.”

She reluctantly retreated her eyes away from him. “He’s just so…” She flailed, lost for words to describe him.

“Yeah, yeah. I’ll see you after school.” I told her as started leaving.

“Okay…wait hold up!” she shouted.

I spun around to face her, “What?” I asked confused.

“Um…okay, can you drop this on his table?” She said, handing me a piece of paper.

I curiously opened it before she could stop me.

“Sav that’s your number.” I affirmed as I studied her digits.

“Shh… I know. So just drop it on his table.” She told me firmly with a straight face.

I frowned. “Why?”

“Well he’d be curious about who’s number it is, so he’ll call it.” She said.

“Another one of your plans? You’re coming to my house, I have to be there to witness his phone call.” I giggled.

“Shush.” She swat her hand.

I laughed and hurriedly left for my class.

When I got there with a few others trailing behind me, I thanked the heavens to find that Ryland wasn’t yet on his sit. So with precise and unsuspected movements, I discreetly placed the note in his seat, so that it will be evident for him to see when he was about to sit down.

I sat on my sit next to his and went about with my usual routine.

It was after five minutes when everyone including Mr Shettleston—our teacher—were in the class. I watched from the corner of my eyes as Ryland picked up the note with a frown marring his features. He studied the contents and then looked around the class for the culprit. When no one stared back, he shoved the paper in his jean pocket and then concentrated at what Mr Shettleston was teaching.

I smirked inwardly, thinking of the outcome of this whole situation.

Sav was definitely ambitious with what she wanted.
