Summary
“You’re such a good mate,” Lisa smiles at Carla. Teeth out, creases around her eyes, the lot.
Carla’s heart sinks in her chest. It’s not just a metaphorical feeling, she actually feels it happening, feels the weight of Lisa’s words pushing down deep within her. So she does the only thing she can think of in that moment so as not to completely give the game away; she takes a long sip of her drink, eyes darting around the room, looking for anything to focus on beside Lisa.
Well that backfired, didn’t it?
Lisa’s still smiling.
Friendzoned much?
God, she’s not used to this. Doesn’t think she’s ever been friendzoned in her life.
First time for everything, she supposes.
