As Yuval was still considered my ex-boyfriend, I could not believe that he was pursuing Natalie, my best friend. The news shocked me.

Though, I must say that he was quite a decent person. Hence, I figured it might be a good thing if he ended up with her since we had already broken up anyway.

“Natalie hasn’t agreed to be with me. Anyway, um, I still have something on. Bye.”

 

Perhaps it was somewhat awkward for us to be discussing such an issue, for he then hurried into the car and left.

My ex-boyfriend fell in love with my best friend. It indeed sounds a bit…

 

Nevertheless, Yuval and I had never been in love. We were only together because we felt that we were suitable for each other. Hence, if he genuinely liked Natalie, perhaps it was a good thing.

As I watched his car leave, I came back to my senses and headed upstairs.

Then, soon after I rang the doorbell, the door opened. As I did not call before I went over, Natalie was surprised once she saw that it was me. Afterward, she quickly pulled me inside.

“Anna, you’re finally willing to come to see me. I thought you’d forgotten about me ever since you moved to Michael’s.”

She then pulled me to the living room, where I sat on the couch. While standing in front of me, she stared at me in dissatisfaction.

“How could I forget you? You’re my best friend. I’ll forget anyone else but you,” I replied.

In reality, both of us had not seen each other in a long time. As I did rarely contact her during that period, I still felt somewhat guilty inside.

“Oh, is that so? For some reason, I find that you really place love over friendship, Anna. Your mind’s fully occupied with Michael nowadays that there’s no place for me anymore.”

It appeared that my fawning did not let her anger dissipate, for she was still looking at me unhappily.
