Bestfriends Shouldn’t Know How You Taste Chapter 40

Chapter 40

I opened the door slowly, anxiety crawling in my  stomach. The house is oddly quiet which was  weird.

There should be shouts of anger from dad towards  Arden. Telling him that what he had done was  wrong and uncalled for. But there isn’t. It’s just  silent.

I shut the door with a soft thud and readjusted the  bag strap. Ryan had just dropped me off a few  seconds ago.

But someone was missing and that was Arden. It  led me to believe that he hadn’t gotten off the  hook this time and he was probably at home.

I looked around the entire school for him with the  help of Blake and a worried Rosalie. But we hadn’t  seen him and could not get in touch since he  wasn’t picking up his phone.

Liam hadn’t been at school today because of  suffering a broken ankle last night so there was no  way he’d know where Arden was.

In Rosalie words ‘the doofus tried to skate but  ended up falling down on his ankle’. I promise to  visit him when I got the chance.

After all he’s like a little brother and it would be  nice to see Roro again and uncle Luke who forbade  me to call him Lukey.

As I walk closer to the kitchen I could hear the  faint sound of metal hitting metal. It’s a very  unpleasant sound and as I near the doorway I  could see mom frantically scraping a pan off of  macaroni and cheese. Her hair is knotted as it falls  over her shoulders.

She looked dazed and worried as she harshly  scraped the pan. It was like she hadn’t notice my  presence.

I chew on my lower lip and walk into the kitchen  until I was opposite to her, a few feet away, only  separated by the kitchen counter.
