(phone rings)

“Hello?”

“A, Hi! How are you??”

“B? Where have you been? I’ve been trying to contact you for months!!”

“Ehee. I changed my number. That way, I can talk with my boyfriend all the time.”

“??? Oh…”

“So how have you been? What are you doing nowadays?”

“Uh.. Nothing special.”
”What is it? Sounds like there’s something wrong.”

“Not really. Listen, I’m busy right now…”

“Oh? Then, I’ll call you again later, OK?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Bye”

“Uh-huh.”

A put down the phone and then continued reading comics…

A opened the closet, and was looking for her T-shirt when the phone rings.

“Hello?”

“A? Is that you? Listen, about our appointment. I don’t think I can come today.”

“Huh? Did something happen?”

“Well, my boyfriend just called. Asked me to go grab a bite or something with him.”

“Oh. Your boyfriend called.”

“Yeah. So I can’t come. D is coming with you, right?”

”No, she’s not. You’re the one who picked this day. And you know she can’t come on Saturday.”

“Oh, that’s right. But you’re gonna be okay by yourself. Besides you usually go out alone, right?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Well, gotta go. Bye. See you later.”

Morning:

“A, did you know what he said last night? He…. “(fades away)

 Noon:

“Where is he? Do you see him? I can’t wait to see him..”

 Afternoon:

Beep-beep-beep.

A looked around and saw that C was punching text messages in high speed on her cellphone.

 

I dedicate these to everyone who were “dispensed with” by their friends who got a boyfriend. Who think that there’s only the two of them in this whole wide world. &*$^%* you!! A friend is not something you can dump whenever you want and then come to when you have a fight with your “beloved”.
