The Lie of My Childhood Friend
“Harry, I don’t want to go to a strange place alone.”
Lena and I had been childhood friends—we had gone to and from school together since nursery, and that had never changed for more than 10 years.
Besides, I had secretly admired her in my heart.
So in a moment of impulse, I promised her, “Don’t be afraid. Wherever you go, I’ll go with you.”
But until now, I finally learned that everything she did had been a carefully staged act just to drive me away.
I couldn’t help but wonder—did Lena hate me that much?
