maybe next time
7 sep 2026
"maybe next time" the girl said.
her friends were getting tired of it.
everytime.
"do you want to go clubbing with us?"
"maybe next time."
"do you want to go to the mall with us?"
"maybe next time."
but the thing was
there was never a next time.
she slowly pushed her friends away until, finally, they snapped.
"why don't you ever want to do stuff with us? was it something we did?"
she stood still, in shock.
she'd pushed her only friends away.
the only people who still cared for her.
"i'm sorry." it's all she could say.
other words disappeared from her mind.
from that day forward,
none of them talked to her.
that was, until their high school reunion.
the friends, they were beautiful
while she had looked like she threw herself away.
everyone was talking.
"guess she did stay in her room all these years." someone snickered.
nothing had been the same since what had happened and she was the one getting blamed for it.
yes , i know it doesn't make sense .
