Chapter 349 The Tough Decision (1/2)

Sarah put her hand over her mouth, after her brain caught up with what she had said.

What did she ... how could she have ...

She reached out to Kay, putting her hands on Kay desperately, ”I'm so sorry Kay. No, I didn't mean that.”

Kay patted her hands, then looked at the field. Sarah was feeling relieved until she heard Kay said, ”I forgive you, but I can't say it's okay.”

Sarah's hands fell to her side, as she said, ”I ... I understand.”

Though in truth, she didn't, really. How can you say it's not okay if you have been forgiven? Kay was silent for a while, her mind racing as she thought of certain things.

Sarah was her first friend here in Sakura Academy. First girl friend.

It had been a really good time together as they practically shared everything. Sarah also never asked her for things or made things difficult. She had never tried to get to know Kyle through her, and that alone had made Sarah have a special place in her heart.

Yet now, the good friend was turning into something that wasn't so pleasing.

Were her feelings for Kyle so deep and so strong that she was losing her rationality? She may have said that her words were not intentional, but that was a lie. It was actually her greatest desire, and in her agitated state, the words came out unfiltered.

It meant that she did have such thoughts and hopes. She just never expressed them before.

One might say that so long as no one actually acted on their thoughts, it was fine. In most cases, it would be. You cannot stop how you think, but you can have control over what you do. You can hate a person, for example, but you can still treat them nicely.

However, in Sarah's case?

She may act properly but now, Kay wouldn't know what her true intentions were from those actions. One may say that she's being overly suspicious and disregarded two years of friendship ... but Kay had already been exposed to the darker side of human nature.

Trust, once gone, would be hard to gain back. If ever.

Still, it did not mean that Kay was going to cut ties or sever her friendship. No, that would be too harsh and cruel - more so since Sarah appeared genuinely contrite about it.

It just meant that Kay had struck off Sarah from her heart. In the sense that she would not 'invest' in their friendship. She would treat Sarah the same, but not the same. In other words, she wouldn't be mean but she wouldn't confide in her any longer.
