Bad Boy Fell Hard by Mushabe Melisa (i want to read a book .TXT) 📗

"No. Guys, I'm fine." I try to reassure them but it sounded like I was assuring myself. The girls didn't even seem to buy any of the crap I just said.

"Don't give us that bullshit, we are your best friends and we know that something is up!" Amelia scowls at me.

I sigh, "I don't want to share this burden with anyone." I say while taking a bite from my apple that I am in no appetite for.

Melisa sighs while clearing her voice as if getting ready for a long speech, "Nora, we are your friends, actually best friends. We stick with you through all hard times and are there for you through thick and thin. We help you carry you your burdens as friends, because that's what we were made for. I mean, even the Bible says so in Galatians something. So let the burdens you carry also be ours to suffer with." Melisa preaches, Pat claps her hands at that.

This is when I realize a friend is a like a four-leaf cover, hard to find but lucky to have. These friends of mine want to share this heavy burden with me and I feel guilty not telling them what's up.

A tear escapes my right eye followed by another. I quickly wipe them away and turn to them, "Thanks guys."

"So tell us what's up?" Amelia asks, straight to the point.

"I am being blackmailed." I blurt out. I look at them and they are all shocked but none of them are showing pity which I am always grateful for.

"By who and why?" Carol asks.

"I don't know who it is but they want me to stay away from Ryder." I say.

"Or else what?" Pat asks and I let out a choked sob that I didn't know I was holding.

"Or else she or he will tell the school what all that happened with Seth." I say as a stream of tears flows down my cheeks.

"What!!" A familiar deep voice says from behind me. I turn and see Ryder and Jason standing behind me and by the looks of it, I can tell they knows the whole story.

Oh no!!
