I Will Survive Chapter 8: High School

It has been 10 years since she moved in to Los Angeles. Her friendship with Oliver was known by everyone. They were BFFs, unbreakable. They shared a unique bond, immesurable. They shared uncountable moments together, they practically lived everyday with each other.

Oliver had a playboy image. Flirty, friendly, football jock and always ranked good in school, all thanks to Lara and her tuitions.

Lara was also popular in school because of Oliver. She was genius. Always first in school. Not to mention that she was very pretty too. And her vocal and cello skill were amazing which gained her more fame. And she also helped Oliver in middle school a lot and still does.

They bunked school together, they partied together, they go shopping together, they tried their first smoke together, they had their first alcohol together, they even sleep in one bed many times.

Oliver's parents have already built up a fantasy that Lara is going to be their future daughter in-law. Lara's father was well aware with this. He didn't like Oliver much, he thought that he was a notorious guy who will break her daughter's heart. He didn't ship them at all and avoided all conversations regarding them. Obviously he didn't tell this to anyone but himself but he knew that his decision about this situation will never change.

In 2 years of high school, Oliver became ladies' man, every girl's dream was to climb in his bed. He didn't hold back at all, he slept with tens of girls. He never cared to have a girlfriend, he thought that girlfriends are clingy and no different than leeches.

On the other hand Lara only had 2 boyfriends in 2 years. She wanted all to go slow and feel every moment. But her best friend was worst at giving advices and she ended up sleeping with both of them in end.

Due to their close friendship, everyone thought that they were in some kind of weird open relationship. These rumors were quick to spread and it reached Mrs. Romano's ears in no time. Once she called Lara over her house.

Lara and Oliver both sat on the couch next to each other and she sat on the couch opposite them. She was quite nervous asking them about their private life and blurted her thoughts out in one breath.

"Lara do you love my son? Are you both in relationship? I heard from school that you are, is that true? I also heard that Oliver is a major playboy. Is he cheating on you? That's why you don't come home for dinner nowadays? You just tell me and I'll beat the s.h.i.t out of this boy for cheating on my daughter. You listen here clearly Oliver!! Don't even dare to cheat on my daughter or I'll never forgive you. Humph!!"

Seeing her pouting like a baby and hearing all her words Lara and Oliver were in a momentary daze. They both were speechless after hearing all this. They looked at each other at same time and started laughing like anything. Seeing them laugh Mrs. Romano was confused and asked them "Why are you both laughing? I didn't joke. I'll seriously not forgive you if you do that to my daughter. "

They both laughed again and then Oliver said "Mom, Mom. You are thinking too much. We are not together. We were never in a relationship. They are all just rumors. And about beating the s.h.i.t out of me, huh? I am your son, I am your blood and still you are saying that she is you daughter and siding with her? I am very very disappointed and hurt." Oliver dramatically wiped an invisible tear off his face.

"Hey!! She is my mother too, right mom?" said Lara hugging Mrs. Romano. "Always dear. You are way better than this douchebag!" said Mrs. Romano and both her and Lara laughed on this comment while a pout appeared on Oliver's face. Then they had dinner together and Lara went back to her home.
