"Hey, Selena," Eugenia greeted, her eyes scanning Selena from head to toe.

"Where's your girlfriend at?" She spat out, her tone laced with bitterness.

"I don't have a one," She replied, her voice steady.

Without missing a beat, Selena downed her water bottle, tossing it effortlessly into a nearby trash can. Confusion etched across her face.

"Cut it out," She said rolling her eyes.

"What are you even talking about?" Eugenia asked.

"You called her babe and held her hand, Eugenia. It's obvious you two are a thing," She said, disappointment tainting her words.

"Wow, seriously?" She questioned, her voice tinged with disbelief.

"Yeah, dead serious," Selena affirmed.

"You still look really hot when you're jealous. I miss that look on your face." She said.

"I am not jealous. Right now, I am happy with someone who makes me happier than you ever did!" Selena lied, her words filled with regret as soon as they left her mouth.

The confession hung in the air, causing Eugenia's eyes to widen in astonishment. A flicker of hurt passed through her gaze, and grimaced, trying to conceal her sadness.

"I hope you are happy with whoever you are seeing. They're lucky to have you," She managed to say, her voice tinged with a hint of sorrow.

"I hope you find someone, Eugenia," Selena said, taking a step closer.

Eugenia blinked, feeling tears welling up in her eyes. Selena found herself instinctively pulling Eugenia into a comforting embrace, as if nothing bad had ever happened between them.

They held each other tightly, but as their eyes locked. Selena's gaze involuntarily drifted to her lips and leaned in.

"Selena," Eugenia whispered, their lips briefly touching.

But Selena pulled away immediately. She sighed shaking her head.

"I can't do this," Selena said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm not dating anyone. I can't get over you," She admitted, her vulnerability on full display.

"I know how you feel. I lied about dating someone," Selena confessed, her eyes locked onto Eugenia's.

"I'm sorry," She expressed with sincerity, her eyes filled with regret.

"Is that so?" She questioned, her curiosity piqued, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"Yes, I truly am sorry," She whispered, her voice barely audible, her shoulders slumping in guilt.

"You shattered my heart into a million pieces, Selena Marie Gomez," Eugenia whispered, her voice trembling as she sniffled, her hands trembling with emotion.
