My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste

5

Two days after Mirabella and Bailey drenched Kaleb and his companion in the dead of the night, they've been walking on eggshells ever since.

Kaleb was never one to let things like this go, and it was rather strange he had yet to retaliate and embarrass the girls.

Two days…

That was weird.

The best friends sat around an old lunch table that had clearly seen better days - years ago. It was finally lunchtime and they were starving.

"Am I the only one who thinks it's weird your brother has yet to retaliate after that night?" Bailey asked while chewing on her blueberry muffin.

Mira thought it was weird too, but throws her hand in an unbothered manner. "Maybe he learned his lesson to keep it down." Bailey's eyes narrowed. It was hard for her to believe Kaleb had 'learned his lesson'.

"Or maybe he's waiting for the right moment to strike," Bailey mumbled, wincing as she remembered the prank Kaleb pulled on them a few weeks ago. Her hair had the stench of rotten eggs for an entire week!

Mira winced and murmured. "Okay, then we'll be ready for him when he does. Now, let's enjoy our lunch. This is the first time a girl hasn't come wailing at us to help her get my brother back."

Bailey nodded in agreement. Usually, Kaleb's used tissues would take this opportunity to come over to Mirabella to coax her into putting in a word for them to Kaleb.

It was a bit surprising that no one showed up yet.

Bailey continued to munch on her muffin when a slim figure plopped beside her.

Kristina. She had her cheer outfit on.

"You guys are already eating without me?" She pouted and blew some of her hair away from her face.

Bailey and Mira smiled in guilt. "Sorry, we were famished." Mira giggled.

Kristina rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Anyway, did any one of you complete the history homework already? I'm halfway through and got stuck."

Bailey, who was a straight-A student and at top of her class, nodded. "Of course. I can lend you my notes after lunch."

Kristina sighed in relief and sent Bailey a grateful smile. "Thanks, Bailey, you're a lifesaver. I would've asked Kaleb, but he's nowhere to be found."

Mira wiggled her nose in disgust. "Why would you ask my brother for help?" Mira faked a gag.

Kristina's brows furrowed. "Because he's actually pretty good at history? He can give Bailey a run for her money." Kristina snorted a laugh.

Bailey's brows knot in displeasure. One of the many reasons Kaleb annoyed her, too, was the academic competition going on between the two of them. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Even though Kaleb was a playboy, he always somehow had time to study and get straight-A's. Bailey had to work hard for all those straight-A's while it seems as though Kaleb doesn't even burst out a sweat.

It didn't help that they were neck to neck and at any moment Kaleb can surpass her in her academics.

"I don't feel like giving you my notes anymore." Bailey's mouth twisted into a flat line.

Kristina giggled and apologized. "Sorry, it was a joke Bailey. Well, partly." Bailey rolled her eyes and resumed munching on the muffin.

"Don't go to my brother for help, that's just nasty." Mira gagged in disgust. Mira didn't want her close friends to be like those girls who wail when Kaleb is done with them.

Besides, it would be awkward and it would probably mess up their friendship if one of them happened to give into Kaleb's charm.

Kristina giggled. "I was just joking, Mira, calm down."

Somehow Bailey doubted she was 'joking'. Lately, Kristina had been giving Kaleb a few sneaky stares that didn't sit right with her. Perhaps it was just a crush. Many girls had a crush on Kaleb, he was after all the most sought after hot boy in this school.

Well every girl except for Bailey, who would not touch Kaleb with a ten feet pole.

Mirabella's eyes narrowed on Kristina and she pointed an accusing finger right between Kristina's brows. "You better be joking, bitch, or I'm disowning you."

Kristina shook her head and dug into her sandwich.

A few seconds later, Mirabella's name is called. The three girls whipped their heads at the entrance of the cafeteria and saw that it was one of the girls in their math class. Her eyes were misty and her lips were jutting out into a pout.

Mira groaned aloud, knowing exactly why she called her.

"Great. Fucking fantastic. When I thought I'd finally catch a break." Mira snapped as she turned away from the girl who was quickly approaching the three. Mira tried to sink into the chair to act small and unseen but of course, the girl had already seen her.

Bailey snorted. "It's no wonder you couldn't see him anywhere, Kristina, Kaleb's been a busy boy it seems."

The girl, whose name was Liz, plopped herself beside a fuming irritated Mira, who ignored her completely. Bailey almost felt sorry for her but she was also annoyed. This whiny girl was going to ruin her lunch too.

"Mirabella, Kaleb, he-he-" Liz wailed loudly and in doing so, caught the attention of everyone in the cafeteria. The look of murder flashed in Mirabella's eyes and Bailey winced while Kristina murmured oh oh.

"Did he tell you that he doesn't want a relationship prior to sleeping with you?" Mira gritted out and gripped the fork she had in her hand tightly.

Bailey feared she would stab that fork in Liz's hand if she didn't pull her slimy fingers off of her. Liz whimpered and nodded. Mira turned to her with a glare.

"Then I see no problem here. You knew what you were getting into, don't wail to me when you didn't get what you were hoping for. The best person to wail to is my brother. Now shoo, I'm eating my lunch."

Liz's eyes narrowed and she glared. "You're just as bad as your brother. You guys are mean."

"Boo hoo b*tch. Now off you go." Mira waved a hand in impatience and Bailey pressed her lips together to stifle her laughter.

Kristina on the other hand didn't bother stopping her laughter and let it come out naturally.

Liz glared at the three best friends, got up, and left after feeling humiliated by yet another one of the twins.

"I can't catch a damn break. Do I look like a therapist, or my brother's keeper!?" Mira snapped and Bailey giggled.

"Well… I can somehow picture it." Bailey lifted her hand and did a motion that showed her opening her hands wide. "Mirabella, the relationship therapist-”

"You better shut it before I stab you with this fork that I saved for my brother," Mira warned, and pointed the fork towards Bailey who grinned.

Well, looks like her best friend was in a murdering mood.
