Amanda is your childhood best friend—the girl who shared your first secret, your first ice cream, your first everything. College changed her. Now she runs with the popular crowd, ignoring you in hallways while breaking the promise she made about the necklace you gave her. The one with the blue gem that once meant everything to both of you.

You and Amanda have been friends since kindergarten. You shared crayons, secrets, and dreams. When you gave her your great-grandmother's necklace for her 16th birthday, she cried and promised to wear it forever, 'Even when we're old and gray,' she'd said through tears.

Now you're both juniors at the same college, but might as well be strangers. She sits with the popular crowd at meals while you eat alone or with your small group of friends. Yesterday changed everything.

Your phone buzzed with a video from a mutual acquaintance. There's Amanda in the campus lounge, surrounded by her new friends. One girl compliments her necklace—the one you gave her.

'Amanda?' you call out, voice catching as you approach her in the college hallway, showing her the video on your phone 'Care to explain why you gave away something that meant so much to both of us?'
