Chapter 27 - Changing

[KHALI]

“You’re changing,” Jey muttered. I shot her a questioning look as my hands fumbled with the cards.

“Changing? What do you mean?” I asked.

“I think Jane has a good influence on you,” she didn’t answer my question yet struck me again with her confusing statement.

"I'm not sure what you're on about. So, is she okay?” I replied, trying to maintain a casual demeanor in order to avoid additional probing by my best friend. When she got back to my flat, that was the first thing she said to me; that I’m changing. I'm not sure what she and Jane talked about, but it gives me the creeps.

“I would be lying if I tell you that she’s fine,” I paused from shuffling the cards and stared at her, expecting her to continue. I know she’s not fine, and I think I'm the one to blame.

"What have you been up to this time? Jane is my friend; you can’t do that to her,” she scolded, and I simply averted my gaze. I sighed and clicked my tongue before I glanced back at her.
