I wasn’t about to let her bad mood ruin this for me. Gem was more excited when I called her to let her know.

“Really??” She squealed. I laughed, finding it funny that she was almost more excited than me. ”He’s so hot, Lily,” She gushed, “But be careful,” She added.

“I’ll see you tomorrow,” I giggled. I’d talked her into going shopping with me to find something to wear, and I was going to try and talk Kella into the trip by tempting her with shoes.

I sat down at the kitchen table and watched Kella cook. She was making Pad Thai. Like pretty much everything else she did, Kella was an amazing cook. Which suited me perfectly because I was quite possibly the worst cook in the world. We had a system, and it worked.

She’d cook, and I’d clean. It was a win for everyone.

“Why do you roll your eyes whenever I’m speaking to Gem?” I asked her. Kella stopped chopping and looked at me.

“Are you serious?” Her mouth dropped open in shock, “I do not,” She argued.

“You do. Right then, even,” I said, referring to the phone call.

“I was rolling my eyes because of how you’re being with Dane,” She snapped. She rolled her eyes again, “Not Gem. I’ve nothing against Gem.”

Even as she said it, I could see it in her eyes. I knew she wasn’t thrilled that I was going out with Dane, but there was something else there.

Jealousy.

“Kel. You know you’re my best friend, right?” I got up, walked over to her and put my arms around her shoulders. Kissing her cheek, I hugged her tightly. She giggled, he body relaxing, as she tried to push me away.

“I know you are. It’s just…” Her voice trailed off, “I don’t know, you’ve known Gem like two weeks and you’re already like best friends,” She grumbled.

My heart melted. My poor little Kellabear was jealous.

“Aww, Kellabear, come here,” I pulled her into a proper hug.

“Don’t call me that,” She growled, hugging me tightly.

“You are forever my best friend, okay?” I kissed her forehead, “You’re my bestest friend in the whole wide world,” I added, giggling.

“Now I feel like a psychotic jealous girlfriend,” She moaned, turning back to her chopping, “I don’t even know what’s wrong with me,” She set the knife down and turned to face me again. “I think I have a crush, Lil. A bad one,” Her hands covered her face as she moaned.

“Who is it? Do I know him…or her?” I asked curiously.

“No. Yes. Fraser,” She muttered. I smiled. The hottie from the cafeteria. “He’s in my business class. We’ve been out a few times, but I think I’m falling. Hard.”

“Why am I just hearing about this now?” I yelled, smacking her backside with a wooden spoon. She yelped and jumped away from me.

“Hey, watch it!” She waved the knife at me. Oops. “I didn’t want to say until there was something to say. You know me Lily, I’m not the whiny, gah gah over a boy type of girl.”

I giggled. Kella was the least girly girl I knew, with the exception of the shoe obsession. In all the time I’d known her, I’d never seen her this way over anyone. Not even Mel.

“You are now,” I said laughing, ignoring the look she shot me, “So what’s the problem? He seemed nice,” I added.

“He’s a Gennerson,” She mumbled, collapsing in a heap onto the countertop.

I howled with laughter, “A Gennerson?? Seriously, Kella??” She glared at me.

Kella was the most laid back party kind of girl I’d ever met. She rarely wore a bra, took pole dancing classes as her exercise, she thought a beer was an adequate breakfast on the weekends, and had won numerous drinking competitions. The Gennerson’s were a name that everyone knew. Even me, and I’d only been here a few weeks.

Very high up in the business world, they were proper, uber rich and very, very reserved. When I thought Gennerson, I did not think Kella. I’d pay to be there when Fraser introduced Kella to his parents. I’d seriously pay money to see that shit.

“Lily,” Whined Kella, “You’re not being a very good friend,” She pouted. She was right. I swallowed my laughter and looked at her.

“I’m sorry, Kel. Okay, so you like this guy. Does he like you?” Kella nodded.
