lily joined the art class

### Page 4

A few days later, Molly came over and encouraged Lily to join her in the art class. After getting permission from her parents, Lily was excited to start the following Sunday. However, on the first day of class, she was disappointed when Abhi told her he couldn’t attend due to family issues.

"I'm sorry, Lily. You're joining just as I’m leaving, but I promise we’ll meet again soon," Abhi said.

"It’s okay, Abhi. I’ll wait," Lily replied with a smile.

After a while, as Lily settled into her new routine of school and art classes, she found herself thinking less and less about Abhi. The gap in their meetings, along with new friends she made in the art class, caused their connection to fade. Molly also grew distant as she made new friends in school. Eventually, Lily found herself drawn to a senior in the art

The senior was tall, with black hair and eyes, and a distinctive bowl cut that bounced as he hurried to class. Lily found his style and personality captivating, and she often caught herself staring at him. Molly had already left the art class by then, so she didn’t witness Lily's new crush. However, Abhi heard from a friend that Lily liked another boy.

One day, Molly invited Lily over, saying that Abhi wanted to talk to her. When Lily arrived, she realized she no longer had feelings for Abhi, so she decided to be honest with him.

"Hey, Abhi. Molly said you wanted to talk?" Lily asked, feeling nervous.

"What happened, Lily? Why did you pull away after I left the class? Why aren’t we talking anymore?" Abhi asked, looking hurt.

"I’m sorry, Abhi. I just… lost track of everything. I’m really sorry," Lily admitted, feeling guilty.

Abhi, afraid of losing Lily, had been anxious since hearing she liked someone else. But hearing her apology calmed him down, even though he still felt uneasy.

"I know you love painting, but I want you to quit the art class, Lily. Please," Abhi asked.

Lily frowned, "No, I’m not going to do that. I’m sorry." With that, she left.

After that, Lily avoided Abhi, feeling that if she stayed in contact, he would pressure her to leave something she loved. Molly, however, didn’t like how things had changed between her and Lily. She pushed Abhi to kiss Lily, hoping it would reignite their relationship.

One week later, Molly invited Lily over again, but Lily had already decided to end things with Abhi for good. She felt guilty for neglecting her friend, but she knew she had to be honest. On the walk to Molly’s house, Molly brought up the idea of Lily sharing her first kiss with Abhi.

Lily, uncomfortable, quickly came up with an excuse, "Oh no, Molly! My sister Luna is coming back from abroad this week. If she finds out about this, she’ll be furious."
