After Zariyah powered off her phone, she looked over at her best friend, Mianna, who was lying on the bed, scrolling through her own phone.

"Well, she blocked me," I muttered, sinking into the edge of the bed. "I forgot to remove her from my fucking close friends."

Miana looked up and raised and eyebrow. "Isn't that what you wanted, though?"

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "I mean...yeah. But it wasn't supposed to happen like this."

Miana sat up setting her phone aside. "Zariyah, you literally came up with the idea to kiss me and post it to make her jealous. You wanted her to break up with you, remember?"

"I know what I said," I admitted in frustration. "But I don't want to hurt her. I just...wanted us to go back to being friends. Things were easier when we were."

Miana leaned closer, cupping my cheek. "What's done is done. Yeah, you hurt her, and she blocked you—but that's okay. Because now you've got me."

"Miana, is it bad that I feel bad about what we did to her," I said sighing. "I'm gonna be honest I do love her and I love you but sometimes it's hard for
Someone to pick exactly who they want... and that's the situation I'm in right now."

Miana leaned forward and kissed me on the lips. "No, It's not bad. I get why you feel guilty," she said, before lying back on the bed with a sigh. "but if you love her so much, why would you post it?"

"Because I just don't want her finding out about you...or the others I've been with," I admitted, my frustration bubbling up."I don't need my business spreading around the school,with people calling me a hoe. At Least since are relationship was secret, if she ever she tells anyone, I can just play it off."

Miana turned to me, her expression sharp and confused. "Others? Gurl, what the fuck do you mean 'others'?!" She crossed her arms, her eyes narrowing.

Realizing I'd slipped up, I scrambled to cover my tracks."My other friends." I said quickly, forcing a weak laugh.

"Stop fucking playing Zariyah." Miana said, sitting up frustrated with a sigh.

Before I could respond, Miana's phone started buzzing. Miana got up and went to the bathroom, she picked it up and answered.

Accept ❤︎︎

"It worked—her and Zariyah ended things," Amare's voice coming through the line, sounding excited.

Miana sat up straighter, rubbing her temple. "Are you sure this is going to work? I mean, aren't you supposed to be her best friend?" She asked with a  sigh.

"In my opinion, you're both in the wrong for this,"Jamar chimed in, his tone heavy with disapproval. "Im also not seeing what either of you are gaining from this."

Miana laughed bitterly and sighed, running a hand through her hair."Unfortunately, I was blackmailed into doing this for Amare," she admitted, her voice laced with frustration "She feels like zariyah doesn't deserve Imani like she does."

Before Jamar hung up he had said he wasn't going to be apart of this due to the fact that Imani is his cousin.

Amare rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Well he doesn't have to be apart of it as long as he doesn't tell Imani we're good." She said chuckling.

Miana sighed and shook her head.
"Either way if we do get caught I'm still gonna get in trouble for doing this." She said before she started walking back out.

Amare stopped laughing. "This is Imani calling me right now."she said before hanging up the phone.

Miana looked at Imani's story to see what she posted today to she if she know anything about what happened or how it's going to happen. "shit!"
She said with frustration.

Miana sighed. "I'll just show Amare at school tomorrow morning." she said turning her phone on and walking back in the room with me to go to bed.
