Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Photo

A girl could be seen siting on a side. She wore a jeans Mimi skirt with a matching white crop cloth. Her black Raven hair was packed into a pony tail.

Anna sat opposite of her, wearing a mini gown which reached at the length of her knees. Her hair tied into a bun, leaving a strands of hair almost covering her right eye.

While Rose leaned on a chair next to Lia. She was cladded in a wine dress which she bought last week at a shopping mall. Her black curlyhair was plaited into two braids.

"I can't believe that in a month we're going to be graduating from college"Anna exclaimed almost shouting.

"Yeah and it sucks" Lia said dryly.

"I wish we could do something for fun, more exciting. For all of us to remember" Rose said bringing up an idea.

It's been long, She had caused trouble for someone.

"I have an idea!" Lia said standing from the coach she sat on.

"Let's play a game. We would do something in a month and we must finish it before the deadline."

"That sounds cool" Anna said liking the idea of it.

"Yeah...why don't we make our crush fall in love and we break their heart?" Rose asked.

"Yeah" Anne said, trying not to spoil the fun.

"I Agree" Lia said joyfully.

Anna and Lia said, at the same time. With that they both burst into a fit of laughter.

"But isn't that hurtful, you know" Anna thought of it and asked.

"But it's just for fun, right?" Lia stretched her hand and put it on Anne's hand. She pulled Rose's own too.

"Friends?" Lia asked.

"Friends" They both yelled at the same time, raising their hands up.

"Wait, let's take a photo" Lia said, grabbing her bag which had her mini camera in it.

"But who's gonna take the photo now?" Lia asked

"Silly you, we brought our phones"

"And I recently bought a new ring light" Rose said, pointing towards the wardrobe.

Anna quickly ran to bring the ring light, while Lia brought her phone.

They trio set and organized everything before taking their style to post.

After the photo was taken, Rose walked to take her cell phone.

"It's amazing" She giggled joyfully, raising her hands in the air.

"Let's see" Lia and Anna ran towards Rose with full smiles on their faces.

"Awwn, I look pretty" Anna said, gazing at the picture.

"Then, what about us?" Lia asked, folding her arms pretending to be angry.

"Yeah, you always look pretty in your eyes but us we are  always ugly, right?" Rose chinned into the conversation too.

"It's not that" Anna said with teary eyes.

"Hu, oh, we just made the baby cry" They both looked at Anna pitifully, as stream of tears rolled down her eyes.

"An, we're sorry. You know, we were just playing right?" Rose urged the poor girl to give them face after covering her face with her hands blocking her view for no one to see.

"Yeah, I know" Anna said laughing at both of them.

"Hey, you tricked us" Lia complained.

Rose tickled Anna then turned to Lia and did the same. "Hahaha, stop it" Lia said between her breath.

"No, I won't" They both played and landed on the bed. The trio layed on the bed, staring at the ceiling ,their minds travelling into their own imaginations.

"Oh, am bored" Rose said, groaning angrily. She lay on the bed with her legs on the ground and her eyes staring at the ceiling.

"Me too, Mom's at a friend's house while Dad's in Japan" Lia stated, kicking the bed angry.

"And you!" The duo stated, eyeing Anna.

Anna was going through her cell phone when She felt as if she was being spied on.

She quickly raised her head up.

"M-me..a-a..am busy" She answered hurriedly.

"We said we're busy and you said, you're busy!" Lia eyed her, saying.

"Who's the boy, huh?" Rose asked, holding her smile.

Anna knew she had already been caught so they was know use hiding it.

"Yeah" As soon as she said that, laughter and giggles filled the entire room.

"So tell us, who's the lucky guy." Lia urged her.

"Am so happy for you" Rose said.

"Tell us" They both said.

"It's...Jason" She said the name in one go before starting at their reaction.

Silence

Nobody spoke again, the room was dead silent as if an angel had entered.

Rose immediately chocked on her saliva. Lia quickly turned to the table, carried a glass and poured the water which was in a jug for her.

Rose dragged the glass from Lia's hold, drinking the water in gulps.

"Calm down, the water isn't running away from you!" Lia yelled, like an angry mom.

When she finished drinking the water, she gave Lia back to keep the glass cup on the table for her. Rose suddenly turned looking at the hesitating Anna who was shaking as if she has been traumatized.

Unexpectedly, a tear drop slowly rolled down from her eyes while she bent her head.

Rose who saw this, gently raised Anna's head up. "Why are you crying?" She asked softly.

"I taught the both of you were going to shout and insult me." Anna said cleaning her tears.

"What?, Aren't we best friend! We would never do that but support your decision." Lia explained, opening her arms for her.

"Okay, stupid me" Anna said, all of them hugging each other.

They all pulled from the hug facing each other.

"That name looks familiar, Jason" Lia said, trying to remember where she had heard it from.

"Isn't it that cold brute" Rose said.

"Wait, you know him?" Lia asked.

"Yeah, remember when Anna came crying to us that he promised to come for her 13th birthday but he never came" Rose stated.

"Yeah, yeah, I remember now. When she wanted to look for him but saw him with Elena, that witch. Gosh I hate that girl. Anywhere I see her, my blood boils like a volcano, Rrrrrr" Lia gritted her teeth in anger.

That name irks her.

"I hope you aren't angry that we're insulting him, right? Rose faced the docile Anna, while saying.

"No"  Anna shook her head slowly.

"And her name is Eleanor, Lia" Anna pointed out.

With that being said, Anna gave them the go ahead to talk about her crush. They talked and talked and talked till they were satisfied with what they wanted.

The trio sat on the bed, when Anna suddenly asked" Can you send me the photo on xender?, So I can post in on my WhatsApp status"

"Here sure, send it to mine too. Let me post it on my IG too" Rose turned on her phone, open the app and transfer the photos to the their cell phones.

"I'll post mine on IG too and also on WhatsApp to make it seem equal" Rose assured them.

" It's been long we once had a special moment like this. We might be rich and wealthy but our smiles aren't fake. Happy memories are always the best to keep" Rose said loudly as she typed the message on her cell phone. She showed the two what she typed before posting it on the internet.

In less than a minute, pop up sounds started vibrating in the room. She had already gotten up to 20,000 likes, 12,000 comments and 3,500 shares.
