The day of party,

we helped each other to get ready, but once we got there, she ditched me for Rahul.

She spent the whole time sitting with him talking about video games.

I begged her to dance with me at least once and she refused, and then got angry. "You're ruining my day," she said.

After the dance, we'd planned to go together to a mutual friend's house for a party, but I brought a boy with me instead to make her jealous, and he and I spent the whole party together...

I didn't talk to her much after that. It was like some invisible line had finally been crossed. We still had two classes together, but beyond what we needed to say, we barely spoke the last couple of weeks in school.

I could tell teachers were relieved that things were finally quiet: no giggling and no fighting. But it was miserable for me..

We never spoke even on the day of our graduation. After the ceremony ended, my friend Megha rushed to me and invited me over that night to celebrate.

We'd grown closer, as my friendship with Diya faded. I noticed Diya was trailing a few feet behind us. I just ignored her.
