I'm not sure if I understood the story completely, but after what I've read I'm concluding that the protagonist is competing with her close friend over boyfriends and relationships. Well anyway, if I'm right, I know exactly how you feel since I have the misfortune of having a competitive, crazy girl as a 'friend'. It sucks and it takes the fun out of so many things.

The shift in emotion after the first four lines is a pleasant surprise. The ideas presented here weave a web of deciet and secracy, and while the writting stars of stronger and ends stronger than the comparitively weaker writting in the main body, the power of the story itself masks it in intrigue and almost worry for the young man who's heart she is about to break. This, all while a sense of mercy and understanding for the young woman's predicament...that is until you remind yourself that she put herself there and that she is the once in thr wrong. Either way, an enjoyable read. As always, the feeling that you write from experience emenates from this piece. Keep up the writting, and better luck to both you and your chosen lover in your future romances.

Best to you as always, - Vigilant

Hm... A little confusing in parts, though I understand the main gist of it. My heart goes out to you. I, myself, never really competed against another girl in relationships. I competed against the boy I was wih. Anyway, beautiful work. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
