In the school cafeteria, Ariella choose to sit on the side that was less crowded while waiting for Erika to sit after she bought a drink.
"What the matters that you want to tell me before?"
Erika looks at Ariella's eyes and seems too worried. Ariella felt nervous when she looks at Erika's reaction.
"Ariella, you know on the hiking trip, you had an accident, right? I know who did it?"
"Who is it?!"
Ariella shocked to find out that Erika knew that person is because Angel or Mia would never want to tell her who did every time she asked them. She remembers in the hospital that she thought that someone purposely push her and not otherwise.
Ariella even asked a few classmates before but was weirder, none of them at that spot when the things happen. So she thought only Mia, who saw the person is.
"That day, I saw Mia Edrick pushed you. And she and her friend acted like she accidentally pushes you and soon after that she acted like she's being unwell. I heard that they're planning to push someone during hiking before in the school toilets. I never thought that was you."
"No way! You're lying!"
"I can't you tell before because Mia was there with you. I don't know her reason for doing that to you but I have evidence. She's your friend, right?"
Ariella was speechless knowing the fact that person was Mia. She can't think straight why Mia did that to her. She wondered if Angel knew about Mia on purpose for pushing her down on the hills.
"She is my friend's friend. But why? I thought we were close enough to befriend. Why did Mia do this to me?"
Erika took a sip of her drinks while looking at Ariella, she feel pity for Ariella. She always saw Mia and her friends be clinging around Ariella. Erika looks at Ariella who is sad and anxious, Ariella maybe never thought Mia to be the person who pushed her.
"Ariella, you should be careful around Mia and her friends. She might do a more dangerous thing to you."
"Thanks for telling me the truth. I will try to be careful next when I am with her."
Ariella want to find Mia and asked her about this. But she is afraid that Mia would deny it and tells this to Angel. Angel will be upset if she knows that her childhood friend and her best friend, hated and accused each other.
"I want to help you because I want to befriend you."
Hearing this Ariella at Erika if she is really sincere to befriend with her. After this betrayal, she is scared that someone won't take advantage of her.
"Ariella... I know right now you must doubt my word. But I have wanted to be your friend since I saw your art, it really inspired me. I admired you. Oh... Right here is the video that proves Mia had pushed you."
Erika when the days she heard that Mia and her friend planned to do that thing on Ariella, she keep her eyes on Mia and her friends. During hiking, Erika took a video to record what happen as evident. She want to tell the truth to her teacher but got afraid on Mia will attack her or something.
Mia Edrick is famous with a bad reputation and rumor that she sells drugs to students. Mia also always hangs around with bad guys and gangsters. That's what Erika heard from her friend who the same course with Mia, Film, and Video. Mia and Ariella only shared drawing and painting classes as well as Erika.
Ariella looks at the video that Erika hands to her. It obviously shows Mia pushed her not to bump on her like her uncle told her or just like Angel mention it. Ariella doesn't know what to believe, she knows Mia always shows a negative vibe around her.
Even Ariella is uncomfortable and dislikes how Mia gets along in her social life and how Mia influence Angel to join the parties as she joined before still, Ariella would never think that Mia is a bad person to her. Ariella also never thought that Mia will harm her like that.
