Broken friendship

Chapter 11

Malaysia's eyes narrowed as she took in the scene before her. Lysa and Ryder stood inches apart, their faces inches from each other.

"Looks like I interrupted something," Malaysia said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Lysa's face flushed with guilt as she took a step back from Ryder. "Malaysia, I—"

But Malaysia cut her off, her eyes blazing. "Don't bother explaining, Lysa. I think I get the picture."

Ryder tried to intervene, but Malaysia turned on him. "And you, Ryder! I thought we were friends."

The tension between them was palpable, the air thick with unspoken emotions. Bysha, who had been watching from a distance, felt a pang of sadness...

As the uncomfortable encounter came to a close, it seemed that their friendship had reached a breaking point...

As Malaysia turned to leave, Ryder called out to her. "Malaysia, wait!"

As Malaysia walked away, Lysa and Ryder were left staring at each other, the weight of their actions settling in...
