Whew, what a day," Darcy sighed.

She closed the lid of her laptop and rolled her shoulders a couple of times to stretch away the tension in her neck. After a long day of schoolwork, all Darcy wanted was a few minutes to decompress before venturing out into the whirlwind that was the rest of her house. Darcy flopped onto the bed next to her desk. She blindly reached for her phone, then rolled over onto her back to check what she had missed while she was working.

-16 unread messages-

A wave of anxiety washed over Darcy as she read the notification. Stomach twisting, she opened her messenger app and saw that all of them were from her best friend, Amelia.

I guess this means our friendship is over, the most recent message read.

Darcy didn't even check the rest; instead, she immediately pulled up her friend's number and called. There was a click followed by silence as Amelia picked up but said nothing.

"Amelia?" Darcy ventured.

"What do you want?"

Her friend's voice was sharp but nasal-sounding, as if her nose was stuffy from crying.

"Are you okay?" Darcy asked in a soft voice.

"Why do you care?" Amelia bit back. "It's not like you're my friend anymore."

Darcy wanted to shout that Amelia was being ridiculous, but a year of friendship had taught her that doing so would only make things worse. She took a calming breath.

"Where did you get the idea that I don't want to be friends anymore?"

On the other end, Amelia sniffled. Darcy wished her best friend lived closer, so that she could wrap her in a hug.

"Today's our one-year anniversary of being best friends, so I made a special photo collage of us and posted it this morning all over social media. I wanted it to be a surprise, but clearly you don't even care since you haven't even liked it. I tagged you in it and everything!"

A hurricane of emotions whipped around inside of Darcy's chest. On one hand, she was thrilled that Amelia had done such a thoughtful thing to celebrate their friendship. On the other hand, Amelia had clearly blown things out of proportion.

"Amelia, that's so sweet and amazing of you, I can't wait to see it! I've been so busy with school today that I haven't even had time to check my phone since this morning—I wasn't ignoring your post, I just haven't had a chance to see it yet."

"But you liked something on Jose's page an hour ago!" Amelia said.

Darcy pulled her phone away from her face to check what Amelia was looking at. Sure enough, Darcy's account had liked a one of Jose's posts – a video from his recent gaming stream.

"Oh my gosh, my younger brothers watch Jose's videos all the time. I bet one of them snuck into my room when I was in the bathroom and liked it. I promise, it wasn't me."

"You're sure?" Amelia asked, voice wobbling.

"I'm sure. I would never ignore my best friend on purpose, okay? I'm so glad we became such good friends and I love every minute we spend together," Darcy said. "But it's not fair for you to jump to conclusions and think that I don't want to be friends when I don't always have time to respond. Just because I get busy sometimes doesn't mean that I don't care."

"You're right," Amelia said. "I'm really sorry. I just got so excited for you to see the post, and then I got in my own head. I'll try not to do that next time. Besties?"

"Besties."
