My best friend and I have been close since senior high school. She’s the kind of person who
knows all my secrets, including the fact that I’ve been saving up to move out and start fresh
in Takoradi. It’s been my dream for years, and she’s always hyped me up about it.
Well, last week, she casually dropped into conversation that she’s moving to that exact city
next month. With her boyfriend. The boyfriend who used to be *my* boyfriend. She didn’t
even seem guilty, just shrugged and said, ‘It’s not like you own the city.’
I was so shocked I couldn’t even respond. Like, first of all, what happened to girl code? And
second, how are you just gonna take my dream and run with it like it’s no big deal?
Now I’m sitting here replaying every conversation we’ve ever had, wondering if she’s always
been like this and I just didn’t see it. Do I cut her off? Confront her? Or just let her move and
disappear from my life forever?
