From that day on, Molly stopped speaking to Abhi whenever he mentioned Lily. Meanwhile, Lily cut off all communication with both Molly and Abhi. She focused on enjoying her art classes with Dolly and Sofie, finding comfort in their company. Whenever Abhi showed up at the school with gifts or chocolates to win her back, Dolly and Sofie would step in, protecting Lily from any interaction. They made sure he never had the chance to disturb her again.

Lily was now spending most of her time with Dolly and Sofie, often talking about her crush, a senior named Dev. Dev was two years older than Lily, with an artistic talent that caught her attention. Lily admired his personality, style, and even his hair.The next day at school, Sofie casually asked, “Dolly, why didn’t you message me on Instagram yesterday?”“Sorry! My mom had me doing so much housework that I couldn’t get online,” Dolly replied.Lily, curious, chimed in, “What are you two talking about?”“Oh, right,” Sofie said with a grin. “Lily, you don’t even have an Instagram account, do you?”“Nope, I’ve never made one,” Lily admitted.“That’s a bit sad,” Dolly remarked. “How will we all stay connected during winter vacation?”

Sofie brightened up. “Don’t worry, Lily! Give me your phone, and I’ll help you make an account.”Lily smiled. “Great idea!”Together, they created an Instagram account for Lily, and before long, she learned how to use it like a pro. She quickly made lots of friends, including a boy named Tommy, who turned out to be Dev’s best friend. Tommy and Lily bonded quickly, and soon, Tommy became like an older brother to her.One day, Tommy confided in Lily that he liked Sofie. He asked Lily to talk to her about it, and Lily agreed, saying she would bring it up when the time was right.Tommy was a good-hearted guy. Standing at 5'6" with a typical boyish haircut and a slim figure, he respected girls and treated Lily like a true sister. They often shared secrets, and Lily grew to trust him.

Tommy and Dev frequently crossed paths with Lily’s school. Lily sometimes thought Dev came just to see her. One day, she even painted a picture of him and showed it to Dolly and Sofie, who loved it.The next day, Lily pulled Sofie aside during class.“Sofie, I need to talk to you privately,” Lily said.Sofie followed her out of the classroom. “What’s up, Lily?”“Do you remember my ‘brother’ Tommy?” Lily asked hesitantly.Sofie looked puzzled. “Yes, but why are you asking?”“Don’t get mad, but… Tommy likes you,” Lily confessed.Sofie glanced away. “I’m not mad, but you can tell him I don’t feel the same way.”“Got it. Let’s head back to class.”

Later that evening, Tommy messaged Lily, asking what Sofie had said. Lily gently told him the truth—that Sofie didn’t feel the same. Tommy seemed a bit upset but quickly shifted the conversation.“You said you had a secret to tell me,” Tommy wrote. “What is it?”Lily hesitated for a moment. “I have a crush on someone in my art class.”“Really? Who is it?” Tommy asked, intrigued.“I can’t tell you outright, but I’ll give you a hint: the first letter of his name is D,” Lily teased.Tommy responded quickly, “I know—it’s Dev, right? Want me to tell him?”“Please, no! Don’t say anything to him,” Lily pleaded.“Okay, okay. I won’t say a word,” Tommy assured her.
