Fake Friend

Helena arrived at the mall she put in her maps direction. She needs a complete wardrobe change, suitable for her style and age not some old woman clothes currently sitting in her closet.

Parking the car and walking leisurely, she enter the mall which selling only exclusive high end brand. But first, more coffee, her caffeine intake is increasing in this life, since this Helena's body getting exhausted faster than a formula 1 race car.

Walking inside the coffee shop selling expensive brewed coffee, Helena smelled the rich aroma of expensive coffee beans, this is a good life, she uttered to herself.

Her shoulder was tapped after she gave her order to the cashier, and she saw unfamiliar woman who stood in front of her, the woman radiating a fake smile and forced a hug on Helena that hates physical touch, she pushed the woman away, and she staggered and slump on the floor. Everyone was watching gasping for the unbelievable incident.

She still stood there looking down at the woman that has tears brimming under her eye..

"Helena, its me Rebecca Kerr, your best friend" she clenched her handkerchief and wiped the fake tears on her eyes. Helena rolled her eye again cursing the old Helena for being so stupid and be friending the likes of this fake a** B*tch in front of her.

Don't play with fire, for it might burn you severely.

Helena smiled apologetic

"Oh i apologize, after the incident i lose my memory, and i was a little startled to be hug from a stranger like that" she turned the table by saying, of course she will push her, you are basically stranger now that she has amnesia, oh hello!! amnesiac person here!!

"yes of course, however i tried to visit you, so you can remember our friendship, but i am denied visitation" Rebecca dished the counter attack back.

"Don't feel bad, even if God wanted to visit me, he will be denied entry" Helena gave the sweetest smile making everyone stunned of just how beautiful someone can be, especially with a eye color like that.

Rebecca felt hot on her cheek from the anger she tried to control

'what is wrong with this woman, why is she suddenly has a sharp tongue!!'

"well then now that you are here, lets catch up and goes shopping together, i always advice you on what clothes to buy, we are close like that" Rebecca tried to win the crowd favor again by repeatedly mentioning on how she knows Helena best to the point choosing a dress for her.

Helena smirked 'so you are the person who suggested all the ugly clothes in the closet'

"Of course, lets go, my coffee is ready" Helena is not backing down, in her previous life, she has never encounter scheming woman, this is a breathe of fresh air, she enjoyed this, the woman she encountered in the last life use fist to fight and not tongue so her method back then is to beat them mercilessly, well she will still be doing that only when they landed a hand on her, she lives by the code and will still uphold it even in the afterlife.

Rebecca hooked her hand in Helena's arm and walk with her heading to the boutique that sells older woman clothes, so it has began..

Rebecca keep telling Helena on the clothes that she thought beautiful,

"Helena, look at this, isn't it beautiful"

"yes it is" Helena agreed.

Rebecca keeps piling all the clothes on the shop assistant hand, anything she suggested to be beautiful to Helena are selected. The dresses are all for older woman, the color and pattern are mature is not suitable for ladies in her 20s at all. But Helena let Rebecca played the game for a little bit.

"We are ready to check out please" Rebecca instructed the shop assistant to carefully boxed the expensive dress.

Helena still sitting crossing her legs un moved when the cashier mention a total of 42,900 dollars, she looked at Rebecca that also looking at her.

"Helena, you can pay now" Rebecca satisfied seeing Helena will be spending this much money on clothes that will not suit her, Daniel for sure will see her as a gold digger, and her beautiful appearance will be toned down by the mature clothes.

"That is not mine" Helena shake her head looking puzzled.

"It is yours, you said its beautiful when i asked you earlier" Rebecca felt all the eyes are staring at her.

"You asked me if its beautiful, so i said yes, i thought you are choosing it for yourself" she looked at the shop assistant for a confirmation. Indeed Rebecca asked about the dress appearance and did not ask if Helena's wanting it or not. She was too confident thinking Helena will agreed to it. The cashier is livid seeing her time is wasted, however due to professionalism manner working in a service industry, she managed to keep her emotions in check.

"Miss, would you like to pay by card" the cashier asked, she almost laughed seeing Helena's expression, she understand it completely, Rebecca was trying to dress Helena in an old fashion mannered and it got back fired. Working in this store for years, she has seen one too many scenes of the upper class toxicity.

Rebecca cant just spend almost 50,000 Dollars of her money, her father is rich, but she also has allowance and their type of rich is still not on the level where they can cash out that amount of money for clothes. That is why she be friending Helena to give her the chance of seeing Daniel Anderson from time to time. So she can be noticed.

Helena walked to them and place her hand on Rebecca shoulder,

"I can lend you some money if you want, after all we are best friend" she smiled.

Rebecca dug her nail under her skin, about to explode, she then retorted

"That is your husband money, don't spend it recklessly" she fired subtly to make an impressions of Helena as a gold digger.

"Don't worry, he dote on me the most, this small amount of money wont make him angry, especially if he knows i was just helping my best friend"

The crowd agreed with Helena's statement, of course a loving husband will give anything to their wife.

Rebecca has nothing left to retort, she nodded weakly in embarrassment when she walked out with clothes that she will never wear and owing a sum of money from the person she plan to humiliate in the first place.

'why is she seems clever now she lose her memory, i should have pushed her harder so she die' Rebecca in disdain uttered to herself while giving a fake smile to Helena that walk out with satisfaction grinned.
