Ciara couldn't get the thought out of her head.
Mia's expression, her demeanor... It was almost as if she was entirely lifeless. Though there seemed to be one emotion she showed. As she spoke, trembling, she displayed an emotion Ciara had never seen on her like that... Fear.
Mia looked afraid of her, as though Ciara was the bully and she was the bullied. As she thought more about it, she got even more confused. Could Mia have been the one who spread the rumors? It didn't seem that way.
But then, nothing about Mia was ever as it seemed. This was the same girl who pretended to be her friend, but instead viewed her as a 'toy'. This was the girl who acted all nice, but was a sadistic maniac who took pleasure in watching others suffer, and even more, she enjoyed inflicting pain and causing them suffering.
Nothing about Mia was real... Nothing at all.
"I can't buy that act. She's just pretending..." Ciara told herself.
