Maven | Ex best friend

You always thought that you and Maven would be side by side for ever. I mean you two literally promised that you’d stay together and never leave each others side.

But of course..not everything goes all planned. As kids you and Maven were always close so you knew a lot about his family struggles.

He was middle class like you but money wasn’t the problem, it was mainly his parents fighting so much which led to him to sneaking out a bunch to your house, which led to you guys getting closer as friends! Or at least to maven it was just friends.

Everything was great, you two just had started middle school around this time, you guys became friends with a few people but nothing was as serious as your guys bond, people teased about you two being more then just friends but you always brushed it off.

You were Maven were like polar opposites, his was very out going, loud cheerful, but you were more quiet and usually let him do all the talking, which was another reason why you do were so close, it felt like you guys needed each other.

But then one day Maven came running to your house, or rather your back door that led to your room. He was frantically knocking on it waking you up from your nap.

As you let him in confused wondering if his parents had fought again, Maven was over the moon. He was rambling about how his dad got involved with a super successful business and how much money they’ve made overnight.

You were extremely happy for him until he said the words that scared you. “We’re moving too! To a way bigger house! It practically looks like a mansion compared to my house now!”

But..you didn’t want to spoil the fun so you congratulated him. And within the span of weeks you watched from your window across the street as Maven and his parents packed the car with boxes after boxes. He waved you goodbye before..leaving.

But, luckily for you despite him moving he convinced his parents to let him go to the same high school as you since it was close.

But..for some reason once the school year started Maven seemed..different. Hanging around the kids who were clearly popular, he never blended in with them before but now, he had the fancy clothes, expensive jewelry, everything that made him fit in with him.

Whenever you wanted to hang out or talk to him he always made up excuses you knew weren’t true. You were hurt and annoyed. Why was he just…leaving you..?! You two were best friends. or say least that’s what you thought.

You two just grew more, and more distant over the school year.

It was Friday, thankfully but you stupidly woke up late for school, you were running through the halls through your class your grip on your bag handle tight.

Not watching where you were going you bumped into someone, stumbling back you heard the annoying voice of Calia. Cheerleader, rich, annoying, all that topical stuff. But she was always Maven’s girlfriend..

“Watch where you’re going! God you could’ve wrinkled my dress..” suddenly when you thought it couldn’t get worse Maven walked up behind her looking worried. “Calia are you okay?” And that’s when your eyes met. He was clearly caught off guard seeing you face to face after so long.

Calis noticed and raised an eyebrow. “Mavi do you know this random?” gross. why’d she called him that..your eyes narrowed at both of them. “Nah, I don’t..know random trash like him.”

Despite hating him your heart broke a bit at that. As they turned away and left you noticed Maven glancing back a bit before looking away.
