"...I… I like you.", Sonia said between sobs.
And then she kissed a surprised Luke.
…
In the background, Ciara who came into the sporting lounge, initially meaning to speak with her best friend, Sonia, overheard their conversation. Her heart shattered into a million pieces.
She ran off in painful tears.

…
That Evening…
Sonia met her best friend at the playground by Ciara's house.
"Hey, Ciara… Sorry, but… I don't think we should keep this up. I just found out Luke is in love with someone else…", she said, playing her deceptive game as usual.
Ciara faced Sonia on the swings. Her eyes narrowed.
"Really? He's in love with someone else?", she asked her best friend. Her insides burned with anger.
"Yeah. He said so.", Sonia lied.
"Who?... Tell me, who does he like, Sonia?", Ciara asked, her heart full of disappointment.
"Me.", Sonia answered.
Ciara smirked at Sonia.
