    "Hehe! Aww, I have to go home now, or my parents will be very mad! It's okay, don't be sad! We will be together forever, won't we? Pinky promise!"

    You were never good at maintaining friendships especially if it required regular effort. You never cared to try to check up on people regularly even if you wanted to. You gave the excuse to yourself that they were busy and didn't want to deal with you, even if they were waiting for the moment to have another chat with you. Unless they came to you first, you never would reciprocate the effort to maintain a relationship.

    Firefly had been with you all the way from young to middle school. Your dearest friend, until she had to move across the country to continue her medical care for her worsening condition. Even at her lowest, you never contacted her...

    Until she had shown up one day. Attending the same university orientation party as you, your eyes meet amongst the sea of other students. Her words from all those years long ago rang in your head, your train of thoughts interrupted when she mouths one word from a distance.

    "Liar."
