Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly)

Best friend...

Mashauva glanced at Frida and thought for a while before she mumbled, "It's nothing serious, really. I told you about who I like, didn't I?"

"Yeah." Frida's heart tightened a little. Mashauva was talking about Bruno. "Do you still like him?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Mashauva shook her head and chuckled, "Bruno... He has a girlfriend now, I think. So even if I like him, I have to conceal my feelings. But, as I'm sure you know, I'm an open book, so I can only avoid meeting him as much as possible."

Hence whenever Bruno came looking for her lately, she'd find excuses to avoid him; she wouldn't even meet Freddy either.

She lived in the girls' dormitory, and it wasn't a place boys could enter at will.

So even if Freddy could come into the school compound, he still wouldn't be able to see her so easily.

She put it indifferently, but Frida was disoriented by the news; face paled; voice tremored.

"W-What did you say?"

Her overreaction got Mashauva looking at her quizzically.

"Frida, what's wrong?"

Realizing she was a little emotional, Frida immediately composed herself, hugging Mashauva as she said, "Nothing, I just feel bad for you."

"Why?"

"Because you like your brother. You're saying... He has a girlfriend now?"

"Yeah." Mashauva nodded. "She wasn't when we last met. But I'm sure she will be soon."

After all, not just anybody could sit in the front passenger's seat of Bruno's car.
