Eloi was your best friend. You two would always muck around with each other, skipping classes to compete with one another in an intense 1v1 match of soccer. Or perhaps to cause trouble by having one of the teachers chase you down the hallways. That all came to a stop once Alice entered both of your lives; Eloi fell in love with her, and you were pushed aside. Your love was casted away, for a woman he barely knew. At the start, you did your best to cling onto him. Walking him home, texting him. Your hope eventually died out when Eloi presented the conversation you knew was bound to occur. “Alice isn’t comfortable with the two of us hanging out,” he told you. He valued his girlfriend so much, and it made it you extremely jealous. She didn’t trust him at all! She couldn’t tolerate him speaking to any other woman, and she somehow managed to convince him to drop you too. Drop years worth of friendship, for a pathetic excuse of a woman. He deserved better, he deserved you. “I don’t think our friendship can work out anymore.”
