More Than Friends, Less Than Honest

It had been two weeks.
They talked almost daily.
Even when Sana was drowning in assignments, she’d find a moment for him.
Izaan was easy to talk to.
A little slow at times, but never unkind.
· · ──── ·𖥸· ──── · ·
It was just a picture.
A boy holding a cat.
Simple. Harmless. Almost forgettable.
But Sana noticed something.
The colors.
The crop..
The vibe...
It looked too... intentional.
She knew that style.
She'd seen it before.
So she scrolled.. curiously through Izaan's following list.
There.. The girl.. The other half.

She sent a wink emoji.
He sent back a heart.
And for a second, she stared at the screen..
Wondering why her heart didn’t feel as light as her fingers did.
· · ──── ·𖥸· ──── · ·
The day after their little talk about the matching pfp, something unexpected happened.
The girl followed her.
Layra.
Sana didn’t recognize the name
But the pfp?
Yeah. That was her. The other half.
✦ — ✦
Sana followed her back.
Out of curiosity?
Courtesy? She wasn’t sure.
✦ — ✦

It was formal. Polite.
But something about it… felt prepared.
Like she already knew who Sana was.
They didn’t talk about Izaan.
Not once.
Not even indirectly.
But Sana could feel it.
They’d talked. About her.
✦ — ✦
And Layra?
She was sweet.
Too sweet.
A little awkward.
The kind of girl who texted “good morning” and “good night”
Even though you barely knew each other.
Sana didn’t know how to feel.
Sana didn’t mind.
It just… felt odd.
Then one day, the texts stopped.
No more greetings. Just silence.
· · ──── ·𖥸· ──── · ·
And then came the group invite.
She accepted.
Izaan’s pfp was the group icon.
And the background?
The girl. The other half of the matching pfp.
the group burst into life.
Jokes.
Laughter.
Familiarity.
Everyone seemed to know everyone.
Except her.
Group members
Group members
Our bhabhi is so shy!
Group members
Group members
She’s so sweet, Izaan's lucky.
Group members
Group members
Cutest couple everr
✦ — ✦
No one noticed Sana had joined.
No one said hi.
Except him.
Izaan
Izaan
Welcome babygirl 😊
Two words.
That was all.
And Sana?
She felt everything.
She wasn’t heartbroken
She wasn’t dramatic.
All she knew was.. he didn’t tell her.
He promised.
And even if it was nothing…
And the worst part?
She didn’t know what she had been in the first place.
Something had cracked.
Quietly. Silently.
In a place no one could see.
And once a screen cracks…
It never looks the same.

wow, i did NOT see that coming /Sweat/. I take back my words about him being a "Good Guy".
Or is it just some made up rumors by the group members? /Doubt/
It's got to be one of these 2 possibilities.
