Sumi's POV
I'm currently here in my room crying. Why? Because i miss my first ever best friend since childhood.... Mariel. I really miss her so bad. I used to remember the old days.. When we were so happy together. Playing games, singing our fav song, and sometimes studying together.
I smiled weakly while thinking all of our happy moments together. I look at my phone and saw my lock screen, it's a picture of me and mariel together...
I remember this day... I got this picture because our teacher allowed as to bring our phones for just 1 day. So i took that opportunity to take a picture with her.
My eyes got teary when i saw this pic. "sumi don't be stupid anymore. She just used you remember." i said to myself.
You guys must be wondering what happened to us right? Well here's our story...
• Flashback •
Today is my first day of school as senior high school in Stanford Academy. I've been studying here since my pre school days.
I'm currently here in our classroom. I'm waiting for my bff's, seiki and seira. The two of them are my bff's since my first day of high school. So while waiting for them, i saw a girl. She looks like a transferee here. But she looks so familiar, i feel like i know her very well.
Looks like we're in the same grade because she got inside our classroom. Everyone really calls me a friendly person because sometimes i entertain the transferee/s in our school.
So i saw her took a sit near the window. So... I decided to approach her.
Hiii miss! My name is sumi ( offers a hand shake) i hope we can be good friends.
I said to her smiling.
So she look to my side and her eyes wided when she saw me. I noticed that her eyes got a little teary.
Omg I'm so sorry miss did i say something wrong?
I ask her worriedly.
I was surprised when she stood up fast ang hug me really tight. Then she whispered something to me which made my eyes teary as well.
I miss you so much summy
She said to me.
Only one person calls me summy and that person is... Mariel, my childhood bestfriend. She created that nickname for me when we were playing. And i use to call her Riri because she called me summy.
O-omg r-riri?
I ask her.
The one and only summy. Missed me?
She said to me and clucked a little.
I couldn't stop my tears anymore and i hug her tightly too.
I miss you so much riri! Why did you have to transfer school last time *sniffs*
I'm so sorry for leaving you summy. But now we can be together forever because i already talked to my parents. And guess what? They agreed that we can graduate SHS together! I promise you that i will never leave you and hurt you again summy.
Promise?
I ask her and did the pinky swear finger.
Promise.
She smiled at me and she also did the pinky swear. And we created the heart with our hands.
So starting that day, i introduced riri to my friends seiki and seira. They gladly accepted riri and i was so happy because of that. And i also introduced her to some of my another classmates. She was so happy because she has a lot of friends now. But even though she has another friends.. She always has time for me. The Four of us ( me, riri, seiki, and seira) always go together in recess and lunch. It's been one month since our first day of school.
But people say that promises are meant to be broken... At first i didn't believe it. Until one day this happened...
RINGGG RINGGGG!!
Ok class dismissed!
Our teacher said to us. Of course all of us were happy because it's already recess. I got my sandwich and juice in my bag, and went to Seiki and Seira. We had a little chit chat about the lesson and i told them to wait for me outside the classroom because I'm going to ask riri to go with us, as usual.
When i got back inside our classroom, i saw her talking to her other friends. They were laughing and it looks like they are talking about something. I'm really happy for her. I smiled and walked towards them.
Hi guys sorry to interfere but can i speak to riri? Hey riri! Let's go have recess? Seiki and seira is waiting for us.
I ask her and smiled.
Myghad mariel can't you see that I'm talking to my friends?! You guys can go ahead because I'm eating recess with them.
I was surprised by her attitude and the tone of her voice. It's like she's irritated. And s-she called me by my n-name? She only does that when she's mad at me.
U-uhm sure riri, sorry to interrupt your conversation with them. I guess I'll go ahead.
I said to her.
Yeah yeah whatever! you can leave.
She said to me coldly.
I'm really shocked by her attitude this day. I feel like this isn't her. No no maybe I'm just over thinking.
When i got outside i saw seira and seiki looking at me worriedly.
What's with the face guys?
I ask them like nothing happened.
Are you ok sumi?
Seiki ask me and touch my shoulder.
I'm fine seiki why do you ask?
I ask her. I saw her look and at Seira and she nodded at her. I was totally confused. Then seira look at me and then she said something that made me sad.
We saw that sumi.
She said to me and crossed her arms.
O-oh that. Don't mind it guys. BTW riri said she can't go with us because she's going to have recess with her other friends.
I said to them but seira signed.
Sumi... I want you to remember that "not all promises are meant to be true" the way riri acted towards you? Sorry to say this but i think she changed. She really changed alot the day she had other friends.
Seira said to me.
I got a little confused of what she said. What does she mean by it? But i just ignored it because I don't wanna think too much. And yes seira is right. Riri did change alot when she had other friends.
Don't worry seira i will always remember that.
I said to her smiling.
Just always remember that we're here for you ok sumi?
Seiki said to me and smiled. I smiled back at her and hugged the two of them.
I'm really really lucky to have you two as my bff's. I love you guys so much.
I said to them then my eyes got a little teary.
We love you too sumi
Seiki and seira both said that together.
Hey stop copying me!
- seiki & seira
I laughed a little because of them. I got my hangkerchief and wiped my tears away while smiling.
Stop already you two haha. Let's go eat recess. And later at lunch order anything you guys want at the cafeteria, my treat.
I said to them smiling widely and they both cheer like there's no tomorrow. This girls are really crazy when it comes to my treat. But i really love them no matter what.

Seira was right all along, riri really did change a lot. She doesn't go with us every recess and lunch and sometimes she just walks passed by me as if she didn't saw me. And she always hangs out with her other friends then she sometimes ignore me the whole day. Tbh I'm really sad about that, i feel like I'm nothing to her right now because she already has new friends. But i don't want to think to much.
I'm heading to the comfort room right now because i really need to go. I told seiki and seira to stay in our classroom but they said that they need to use the comfort room too.
When we got inside the comfort room lucky there are 3 vacant toilets. We went inside do our thing. I was about to go out but i heard something.
You know what guys? Sumi is so annoying to be honest.
When i heard that i got really curious on who said that. So i opened the door quietly and peak through it. And i saw.... Riri with her other friends.
I know right girls haha. I can't believe that I'm even friends with her.
- riri
Same here girl i mean look at you, your beautiful and smart.
- kimmy
Your right kimmy I'm beautiful and smart while sumi.. I mean look at her haha so she's so ugly and stupid!
- riri
Can't she see that I'm just using her? Hahah how stupid of her and poor her hahah. She has no idea!
- riri
Oh really huh?
- seiki
How dare you mariel! Sumi treated you as her sister already and this is how you repay her!?
- seira
Yeah she helped you remember? If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have friends now right? Because she helped you make friends!
- seiki
I was shocked when seiki and seira came out. They defended me from riri. I'm so happy that i met them.
So what? What are you gonna do? Tell her her? HAHAHA as if that she'll believe the two of you.
- riri
Why wouldn't i believe them MARIEL!?
I said to her and came out as well. I can see that she was surprised because this is the first the that i called her by her real name.
Well well well.. Isn't it sumi. I guess you already heard it all right? Well everything that i said is true.
She said to me while smirking evily.
*I'll show her my cold side* i said to myself. I smiled to her and walked towards her. I raised my hand and was about to slap her, so she closed her eyes while my friends and her friends were surprised by my actions.
On second thought i guess i won't slap you. I don't want my hands to get dirty. And it looks like seira was right " NOT ALL PROMISES ARE MEANT TO BE TRUE." You said that you'll never hurt and leave me again, but what did you do? You broke your promise mariel.
I said to her and smirk back.
YOU BITCH YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS. I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME! GIRLS LET'S GO!
Mariel said and walked out of the comfort room together with her friends.
I just cluck and went to seiki and seira. When riri and her friends were gone, they both hugged me. Of course i hugged them back and cried really hard. They comforted me and gave me advices.
Shh let it out sumi we're here for you ok?
Seiki said me while hugging me.
Don't waste your tears for someone who doesn't deserve it. She just lost someone special like you. Your way to kind sumi. That's why you need to be careful ok? Don't trust anyone so easily.
Seira said to me while patting my back and making me calm down.
T-thank you so much guys *sniffs* i love you too very very much. Thank you for everything *sniffs*
I said to them and smiled weakly.
Since that day i started to have trust issues when it comes to other people. I only trust my bff's seiki and seira. I still can't move on, on what happened to me and riri. But seiki and seira are always there to help me.
