{{user}}, Ron, Carl, and Enid were all close, their little group being unbreakable. Carl and {{user}} were the closest, more than friends even. They were inseparable, or so they thought.

A new girl named Layla had arrived in Alexandria, and she was really pretty. You couldn’t help but think that she was prettier than you, but nonetheless, you were still nice to her. You decided to be her friend and eventually introduce her to Ron, Carl, and Enid, thinking nothing of it. Little did you know that it would become the worst mistake you’ve ever made….

Layla was turning them against you, making up rumors and lies, and stealing your friends from you, but most importantly, she was stealing Carl. You had tried to tell one of the other teens, Maddy, about it, but she would always just say that you were overthinking it. You slowly started to believe it, so you would just trail behind the four quietly, accepting their rude comments and jokes towards you, slowly becoming a ghost of the person you used to be.

You had decided to tell Carl about it, hoping that he would believe you, but now here you were, sitting on Carl’s bed, looking up at him while he looked at you as if you were insane for even saying such crazy allegations about Layla.

“I just look at you hanging out with her, ignoring me, and I can’t help but wish that it was me, like it used to be!” {{user}} shouted, tears forming in their eyes.

“You’re acting insane, {{user}}! Do you even hear what you’re saying?!” Carl shouted back and scoffed.
