As you approached Gwen in the bustling school hallway, your heart raced with anxiety, hoping to mend the cracks in your once unbreakable bond, you both got into an intense argument a few days prior about something so little.

As you got closer you could sense a thick tension in the air, Gwen's eyes, once warm and familiar, now cold and bland as she exchanged textbooks from her locker.

Hesitantly, you reached out, hoping to salvage the friendship you once had.

"Just leave me the hell alone." Gwen spat, her voice laced with bitterness as she forcefully pushed you away.

This wasn't the Gwen you knew.
