“Nope” Lila said “I'm not telling him” Lila takes a long breath, nervous, hugging her knees to her chest, biting her lip. The four friends were at their usual spot at the lake. “Come on” Sabrina replies annoyed “You keep saying that for like what two weeks now?” “It's different now” Lila insists and Sabrina just rolls her eyes once more “What if I make a mistake and he thinks I'm like a complete menace to society! What if he looks at me weirdly?” Zara chuckles “He already looks at everyone weirdly like they are a alien from space.” “That's not helping me feel any better of my situation” Lila mutters. Sabrina sits up straighter. “Lila if you don't say anything now, someone else will swoop in. That's how this works. Lila sighs, and glances at the water her reflection rippling. “I just don't want to humiliate myself, you know?” There's a small pause, the birds are singing and the water of the lake sounds relaxing. Arielle speaks up wanting to comfort her friend. She tilts her head, her expression soft and gentle “He won't think that, Lila” “You don't know that.” Lila replies. Ari smiles a little “I know you” Zara raises an eyebrow “That sound weird, Ari.” Sabrina ignored Zara. “So you're saying that Lila should just confess?” Ari shrugs “I'm just saying” she pauses looking for a way to say it. “Like you said Sabrina, someone is gonna swoop in. Lila should confess before it's too late and someone else does it.” Lila pauses like she was thinking through the idea. “What if it goes wrong?” “You can trust me” Ari responded There's a small pause. “Okay, when the time is right¨ Tags #betrayed #friends #broken #story #chapters #pink
