As the two people walked into the house, the door slammed and Momoko sat down on the living room couch while the other figure was standing up. "How many times did I tell you to stop arguing with Brick?" said the female figure with a stern tone. "But!" Momoko retorted. "No! I told you to stop arguing with him over silly things, because it's a waste of time." The female figure responded as she crossed her arms. "You guys are friends and for some reason you two keep getting in trouble and constantly fight all the time." Momoko stayed silent for a minute as she heard the words. " But Nami, you don't know that Brick and his group gets on my nerves all the time at school and tries to up one me!" Momoko spoke up loudly. Nami, Momoko's older sister, stood still and responded equally. "It doesn't matter, if he gets on your nerves all the time." She pointed at her sister, "You're a leader of your friends, right? You have to stand up for yourself and know when not to argue and fight back." Momoko stood up and looked at her sister. "Well, I try to get through him, but he won't listen and always thinks he is better than me!" "Figure it out," Nami interjected. "That is something you have to figure out when you interact with him." Momoko slumped her shoulders, not knowing what to say. "Fine," she huffed, "whatever you say." Nami turned and walked away from Momoko, "You guys act like friends, but you are more so enemies. You're frenemies." Nami left the living room, while Momoko pondered the last words her older sister said. "Hmm, frenemies? That's interesting."
Brick and the tall male figure were sitting down in Brick's room after walking into the house with a tired expression. "So, you guys are arguing again? Huh. How many times do I have to tell you she is out of your league." The tall, male figure spoke. "What! I don't even like her at all, woodhead!" Brick stood up facing the male figure. "Haha! That's a good one, blockhead," the male figure laughed. "But," he smirked. "I am Kino, the great older brother of a building material! HAHA!"
"Why you!" Brick said as he tightened his face.
"Relax, little bro," Kino put his hand up in a stop motion. "I am just playing around, besides you really got to stop arguing with that Momo girl all the time."
"What do you mean? She acts like she is better than everyone else, especially me!" Brick pointed to himself.
Kino crossed his arms at Brick's words. "Well, you two are friends, but you've gotten in trouble a lot recently at school and around the city with silly antics and pranks." Kino narrowed his eyes, "You should be responsible with what you do and say, since you are the leader in your friend group."
Brick lowered his head thinking of what to say, but struggled to say a word. "But.." his breath hangs in a whisper, "I try to ignore Momoko, but she keeps on mentioning how smart and better she is at everything and I can't back down from her!!" Brick raised his voice as he spoke. "Well, figure it out," Kino spoke back. "You have to find out what to say in those interactions and not let her get to you."
Brick paused for a moment, letting his thoughts linger. "Okay, whatever," Brick waved off his older brother. "I will see what happens." Kino began to laugh at Brick as he turned around facing the door in Brick's room. "What's so funny!?" Brick shouted. "You guys act like friends, but you're more so enemies. You're frenemies." Kino waved bye to his brother and walked out the room. Brick pondered on his brother's last words. "Frenemies? What is that?"
The End.
