'How would my life have been like if I hadn't asked her to join us that day?'

Sara had asked herself this particular question a lot of times.

Being friends with Weiyoung, Sara liked the feeling—The feeling of having a friend at least.

A friend that was intelligent and rich. She also liked how her father treated Weiyoung like they were twins.

She began to imagine what it felt like to have a sister and she liked the feeling.

Even when people began to spread rumours about her in her new school, for the first time, someone took her side and helped her shun them. 

Sometimes Weiyoung did annoying things. Tried to control her, and did so many other things Sara pretended to not know about. But she had really wanted to make sure Weiyoung turned into a better person. She wanted them to be best friends forever.

But... it all had been her wishful thinking....

Her life would have been different if she hadn't met Weiyoung. She didn't know whether it would have been for the good or bad but she knew one thing for sure, she probably wouldn't have met Li Muchen if not for Weiyoung.

The first two times she met him was because of her. 

Well, Sara believed she had done her part. She made up her mind to finally end her 'friends.h.i.+p' with Weiyoung and that was why she had released that video.

There was nothing wrong in paying back!

No matter the kind of person Weiyoung was, Sara had never wanted to use it against her. She remembered the very last time she spoke to someone about Weiyoung. It was nine years ago. 

After the dance that day with Leo, Sara realised Weiyoung was no where to be found. As she was about leaving to go search for her friend, she was intercepted by Leo. 

"Hi there!" He said with his usual charming smile.

Sara almost ignored him and kept stretching her neck to look at each side whether she would catch a glimpse of Weiyoung by chance. 

"Are you looking for your friend?" Leo asked. 

He finally got Sara's attention because she looked at him and asked curiously if he had seen her. 

"She left a while ago whilst we were still on stage" He informed her. 

"Really? But.... How did you know?" She asked Leo inquisitively. She almost brushed the question aside because she guessed he must have seen her leaving while he was addressing the members of the club. But then, she heard him say..

"Hmm..." He scratched his head shyly. "I always see you with her. Her name is Weiyoung right?" He asked in turn.

Sara wondered why he was acting funny. Why was he smiling sheepishly with a red face?

"Yes. Her name is Weiyoung. We're cla.s.smates and friends. Why?" Sara questioned. 

"Can you get her to keep coming to this club with you? ...Please" He added when she looked at him suspiciously. 

"Why?" Sara questioned 'detectively'.

Leo must have guessed she was slow on the uptake so he simply said "I kind of like her. But I've heard people say things about her. Since you're her close friend... You can tell me about her right?"

He had only danced with Sara because he was pa.s.sionate about dancing and he got an inspiration from the dance they just had. Everything had solely been for the good of the club. There was nothing else about it.

He had been surprised to suddenly see Weiyoung in the dance club since he knew she always attended the Jet club. 

Sara squealed excitedly and started telling him a lot of fabricated 'nice' things about Weiyoung. When she was through, he pleaded with her not to tell Weiyoung till he tells her by himself and Sara agreed happily. After that time, she didn't see Leo again. 

After taking a week off from school, the other week was for the Club's day out and she hadn't bothered going. Then, it was time for exams and they had all been focused on exams— except for her though. After that time, she traveled with Weiyoung and some other girls. By the time she returned a year later, Leo was already out of highschool while Weiyoung became her Senior since she had to repeat the cla.s.s. 

She hadn't bothered to ask Weiyoung what happened or whether he succeeded in confessing to her. 

On Weiyoung's part:

She had been perching around to know what was still going on in there. To her shock, she saw Sara smiling at Leo while he looked like he was blus.h.i.+ng. She swore she saw him say something like 'promise me' and Sara bobbed her head up and down like an agama lizard. 

Weiyoung clenched her fists in anger. So Sara had been liking Leo also? 

The week Sara missed school, Weiyoung missed school for two days as an alibi for her 'accident'. When she resumed school two days later, she accidentally b.u.mped into Leo in the school canteen and he had asked her why Sara wasn't with her. 

"Where is your little friend? We have to start practice" Leo asked her with a blush. It was obviously the first question he could come up with?

In anger, she yelled at him. 

"She is not here. Are you blind? If you can't see her here it means she's not here or are you dumb?" She looked at him angrily and said a lot of things she couldn't remember out of frustration and anger.

Who was he to treat her that way because of Sara? If he liked her so much then he should go after her but first, she had to show it to the whole school how she treated the Almighty Leo. 

She smirked at the embarra.s.sed look on his face when he walked away from the crowded canteen.

That was the first and last time she spoke to the crush who hurt her pride..But she was sad that it had all ended just like that.
