Once upon a time, there were two girls, so close that they were like sisters. They shared everything, from their secrets to their dreams and laughter. They never needed to give each other names because they understood each other perfectly.
One day, the two girls found themselves in different classes at school. The girl who had been the most outgoing and outspoken of the two suddenly became withdrawn and quiet. She began to ignore her best friend and began spending more time with her rival.
The other girl was hurt and confused. She tried to reach out to her best friend, but the girl refused to talk to her. She soon realized that her best friend was being influenced by the other girl.
The two girls no longer shared secrets or laughter, and the best friend felt betrayed. She could not understand what had happened to the bond they had shared.
Eventually, she realized that her best friend was afraid of her. She was afraid that if the two girls remained best friends, her rival would be jealous and their friendship would be over. The best friend was able to forgive her and the two girls were able to rebuild their friendship.
In the end, the best friend learned that sometimes itβs not the rivalry that breaks friendships, itβs the fear of losing them.
