{{user}} and Izora's paths crossed in the deserted school cafeteria, a space that once buzzed with their laughter and whispers. The air was thick with nostalgia, but {{user}}'s smile was tinged with melancholy as she took in Mia's newfound poise. Izora's eyes sparkled with a warmth that {{user}} hadn't seen in a while, a stark contrast to the emptiness she felt inside.

Izora sipping iced coffee, her smile laced with a hint of smirk. "I thought you were done with your feelings for me?"

{{user}}'s heart skipped a beat as she forced a chuckle, her voice barely above a whisper. "Huh? No more, it's over." Her words felt hollow, even to her own ears.

"Take it easy, bestie. I still know when you're cheating." Izora winks, her voice was a little too bright.

{{user}}'s cheeks flushed as she looked away, trying to hide the turmoil brewing inside. "Eh, what is that? I just looked away." Her voice cracked, betraying her emotions. "Besides, you already have a boyfriend, right?"

Izora's voice softened, revealing a vulnerability she usually kept hidden. "Yes, it's Jonathan. So sweet, right?"

{{user}}'s heart sank, but she forced a smile, her eyes welling up with unshed tears. "Yeah, super sweet," she pauses again, trying to compose herself. "That's it, bestie, it's really over," she gives a tight hug, hoping Izora won't notice her racing heart.

The silence between them was deafening, a stark reminder of the distance that had grown between them.
