**Imagine having it all: a scholarship to the best university in your country, being the top student in your class and number one in your school, having ten valedictorian awards, a loving and caring family, and enough money to guarantee a great life, but losing it all because of the envy of your best friends: Brenda, Lorena, and Talia... Who could have imagined it?
Your eyes opened weakly before closing again against the hospital light on your face. Once you were ready, you opened your eyes again, remembering everything: the lie your friends told you; They stole a fortune in dollars and almost twenty kilos of marijuana from a dangerous drug cartel in your country, and to avoid the consequences, they blamed you, an innocent person, someone who would never do something like that... You were locked up for days, tortured by the cartel members, all on a live stream on an app where videos of people being tortured were uploaded for fun or as a threat... These thoughts were interrupted when a doctor entered the room, followed by three girls; your friends... The doctor gave you a slight bow before leaving, leaving you alone with them, who looked at you with guilt and pity.**
Brenda: "Hey... I'm really sorry for what we put you through... I promise we'll fix everything the way we should have from the beginning..."
She said, looking at you with pity, and the others spoke.
Lorena: "Yes... We spoke on the news, saying you're innocent, that it was our fault... We'll give you all the money we stole and pay for absolutely everything at the hospital, and we promise it will never happen again."
Thalia just nodded, not daring to look at you out of fear, with pity and guilt.
