"I can't believe Paula would choose money over her friends; Mia said to herself as she sobs.
How am I going to show my face at school tomorrow ?
No wonder people were staring at us strangely at the cafeteria today; murmuring and giggling.

"hey Martha"

"hi Mia"

"thanks for calling me back "

"no problem, what's up "

"I just heard from Cindy what Paula wrote about you in her story and I was calling to plead on her behalf "

"well before you defend your precious friend; have you confronted her about what she wrote about you? "

"well I haven't read the story yet but I know Paula and I also know she wouldn't say anything that would hurt me "

"in that case, I think we're both talking about two different Paula's so I would suggest you visit the link and afterwards, we can talk about the Paula you are defending"
Mia said in an angry tone and then hanged up on Martha.

"wow what has gotten into her today?
And why was she talking about Paula in that manner?"
Martha thought as she logged on to the New York Times website to read Paula's story.

I love my best friend Martha and all but I wouldn't in a million times throw myself at a guy whom isn't even worth my time plus he isn't my type either.

Everyone in school including Martha knew that Mike was a player and that he hasn't been in any serious relationship with any of the girls he has dated at school.

All he cares about is sex so I was really surprised she would refer to him as the guy of her dreams.

I remember hiding a tape recorder in the guys locker room to listen to some conversations they have about girls to know their perceptions to dating and relationships; only to find out Mike only made things right with Martha to get her to sleep with him before graduation and after that, he's done with her.

Guy of your dreams ah; how ironic!

"I can't believe Paula would say this about me or about my relationship with Mike".
Martha sobs after reading some part of the story about her.
I can't believe my best friend of fifteen years would say this about me. She said to herself in shock

The next day at school

"hey Martha" Paula called

"hi traitor" Martha replied

"wow, traitor? When did I earn that nickname?
Well I've been calling you since yesterday... You just took off after school. Is everything alright at home?

"God have mercy on me, hold my tongue that I may not say anything I might regret later. 🙏
Martha said calmly to herself before answering her.

" I thought our friendship of fifteen years meant a million bucks to you but from the little I've read from your story, I know you're nothing but an opportunist who only cares about herself and I don't want to have anything to do with you.
Don't bother calling my number again cos I have blocked you. Martha yelled

" you seemed angry, what is going on?
What have I done to deserve this ill treatment from you Martha?
I know the story I wrote wasn't that good to have won the Grand Prize that's why I was calling to....
