"Jennifer, Aydan confessed to me. Do you think I should say yes or no?"
I was stunned hearing these familiar words. It was then that I realized I had a second chance at life, back to this pivotal moment in my life.
Gabriela had been my best friend since childhood. She was beautiful and smart, the popular girl everyone admired. But this seemingly perfect goddess had fallen for the infamous troublemaker, Aydan, during our senior year.
When she came to ask for my opinion, I frowned and pointed out all his flaws for her. He was a well-known playboy and troublemaker, using his family's wealth to smoke, drink, fight, and bully classmates. His bad reputation was infamous even at a young age. I advised her to stay far away from him.
She agreed quickly, but just as swiftly, she got involved with Aydan. She even relayed everything I had said to him, "Aydan, Jennifer said you're no good, but I still want to give you a chance. You better treat me well."
As expected, Aydan's version of treating her well involved dragging Gabriela into smoking, drinking, wild partying, and other vulgar entertainments, ignoring their student status. As her best friend, how could I bear to watch her fall? I kept advising her, and when that didn't work, I had no choice but to inform her parents and teachers.
Her parents locked her at home, cutting off all contact with Aydan. She was hysterical, but within a month, Aydan had found a new girlfriend and even got her pregnant.
I brought this news to Gabriela, and with a face devastated with heartbreak, she finally came to her senses. She no longer resented me for telling on her and returned to being the close friend she had always been, holding my hand tightly.
I thought everything I had done was worth it because I had protected my best friend. But on the day of the SAT, she handed me a spiked bottle of water...
"Jennifer? Jennifer?!" Seeing that I remained silent, Gabriela raised her voice impatiently and waved her hand in front of my face. "I know you don't think much of him, but he does have his good points..."
"When did I ever say I didn't think much of him?" I suppressed my anger and replied coldly, "You two are quite a match."
