The Way of the Deer: The Way of the Deer: Chapter 1: Friends

Friends. Something Lila didn’t have, due to her lies. No one would even talk to her. Kay glanced at Lila, who seemed just as glum as ever. No one would give her a chance. Though, perhaps, if certain actions were taken, things would change for her. Kay decided to go for it. When it it was time for lunch, Kay approached Lila. “What is it?” Lila asked, gloom in her voice. “I noticed that no one is accompanying you. Can we hang out during lunch?” Kay said. “I guess.” Lila said. There was a reluctance in her tone, but secretly, she was relieved. Kay called her parent to tell them that she wasn’t going to eat her lunch at home, but was instead having it with Lila. “I just need to go to my house to pick up my lunch.” Kay said. As the two walked to Kay’s house, Lila revealed that the reason she lied was to impress others so they would want to be her friends. “That obviously backfired,” Lila said, gloom returning in her voice. “Well, you shouldn’t have lied to everyone.” Kay admitted. “But maybe, if you be yourself, things will change for the better.” Lila nodded in response to this. ‘Maybe she has a point.’ she thought.
