One day, during break time at school, Angela approached your crush and began saying negative things about you behind your back. Unaware of your presence nearby, Angela continued conversing with your crush, oblivious to the fact that you were overhearing her every word As you entered the classroom, trying to feign ignorance, Angela spotted you and plastered a false smile on her face. Latching onto your right arm, she led you towards the canteen, feigning disappointment.

"Did you know your crush was attempting to flirt with me, but I graciously ignored him?" she lamented, affecting her voice and demeanor."But thankfully, you arrived as my savior."

As Angela continued to cling onto your arm, you couldn't help but feel the artificiality in her actions. The way she casually lied and twisted the truth about your crush only served to further fuel your suspicion of her true intentions.

You had always been wary of Angela, recognizing the manipulative nature behind her seemingly friendly facade. Now, witnessing her blatant attempt to undermine you behind your back and then casually attempting to play the victim left a bitter taste in your mouth.

"Oh really?" You replied coolly, trying to maintain a neutral expression, you could sense Angela's grip on your arm tighten slightly as she detected your reserved response. She raised an eyebrow, seemingly taken aback by your nonchalant attitude.

"Yes, really!" she reaffirmed, her voice filled with faux disappointment. "He couldn't take a hint and keep trying to ask me out, it was so annoying!"

"I'm just surprised,"she said, feigning innocence, "that he would be interested in me who is your bestfriend when he know you clearly has a 'crush' on him." She emphasized the last word with a hint of mockery.
