It has been 40 minutes since I left the house. I know I should have taken a bus or a taxi in going to Starbucks but walking is okay too. At least, you are exercising while walking. I open the door to Starbucks and warm air welcomes me with open arms. I start to look for a brunette girl and I found her by the window, staring outside. I would walk up to her and say 'hi' casually but I have a better idea. I walk towards the table and stand right beside her then I crouch to get my face next to her ear.

     "Hi, Riley!" I yell.

     "Oww! What the heck?! What was that for?" She yells back at me.

     "Just getting my revenge." I laugh.

     "Well, you got it already."

     With a smile on my face, I sat down on a seat right across Riley. Unexpectedly, Riley speaks up about that one subject I am still uncomfortable with.

     "So... about last night..."

     "Yeah..."

     "I didn't regret anything about it."

     "W-what?" I gasp, slightly jumping out of my seat.

     "You heard me. I have no regrets."

     "B-But... why?"

     "What?"

     "Let me ask you a question. Is he your boyfriend?"

     As soon as I ask about it, there is silence between us. No, it is not a peaceful and mellow silence but it is more of a deadly and tensional silence. After a few seconds of the silence of tension, Riley just smirks at me.

     "Not exactly." Riley responses.

     "Then, what is your relationship between you and Mitch? Friends with benefits?"

     "Not even close."

     "Then, what?"

     "I'll cut to the chase. He is my fiancé."

     "Wait... what?"

     "You heard me correctly. He is my fiancé."

     When she said the word 'fiancé', I experience once again the painful feeling in my chest but it is worse than the other feelings from the painful moments before. But she didn't say anything about it. Wait, does that mean that is the reason why Mitch broke up with me? I need to find out the truth.

     "When did this happen?" I ask.

     "Hmm... around a year ago or so." She says while her smirk is still there on her face. I silently gasp when I hear her answer.

     "Why didn't you tell me then?" I utter.

     Waiting for her answer, she just laughs. She starts to laugh like a psychotic person who just committed murder to a family for no reason. This makes me scared. Does my best friend have a second personality that I don't know about?

     After she is done laughing, she looks at me with a grin. Not a 'full of joy' kind of grin but a terrifying one. Honestly, I like how no one noticed or even looked at us while Riley laughs like a literal villain.

     "That is a secret that you will find out soon." She says, getting up from her seat.

     As she is about to leave the place, she crouches down and brings her face close to my ear. She quietly laughs and starts to whisper about something that can send chills on my spine.

     "If I see you with Mitch again, I can guarantee that either you or your family will lose their lives forever."

     Aftersaying that, she leaves the store with a smirk on her face. I am still sittingon my seat, dumbfounded on what just happened. Miraculously, I don't feel anytears streaming down on my cheeks. But instead of tears, there is something Iam feeling right now; that is agony and despair. Does she feel that jealousthat she would kill me for Mitch? That feels really messed-up. Suddenly, I havechills going down on my spine by just thinking about it.
