Just an innocent child!

"B..bella?" She heard a voice behind her and she didn't have to turn around to know who it was. The grip on the handle of her car door tightened for a while before she let go of it and decided to turn around. 

They were now standing face to face, none of them making a move. 

"You came back?" She questioned, her eyes wide, taking in every inch of her. There was a weird strained emotion lingering between both of them, making it difficult to close the distance of just a few steps. 

"Hi," was all she could say in return. She didn't change a bit. 

"Hi then…I guess." came a hesitant reply from Sandra. 

Where she wanted to run and pull her best friend into a tight hug, she did the totally opposite thing. She turned around, sat in her car and drove away, leaving Sandra gawking at the dust behind.
