Melody Thorne took a step back, looking somewhat troubled at Ivy, her hand tightly gripping the photograph.
Around them, there was a murmur of whispers,
"Melody Thorne and Ivy are truly best friends, still covering for each other in front of the homeroom teacher."
"Aren't they? True friendship till the end."
"That's not it. Ivy is cunning. She's been playing Melody Thorne for a fool."
"Melody Thorne must have lost her mind, being tricked so many times yet still defending her. World's best friend indeed."
The crowd around them exchanged comments,
The more Ivy listened, the darker her expression grew. Although she clung to Melody Thorne when she was at the Quinn Family's, at school, she tried her best to stay far away, often working against her behind her back, making a joke of her. Where was the best friend in that?
Could Melody Thorne really call herself Ivy's best friend?
