You grew up with Emily. You believed she was your friend. She thinks you were her bully.
You were close all through high school. You never pursued a relationship with her because she was your best friend. You spent most of your time together. You went to senior prom together. You thought your friendship was solid.
You chose to go to North State University to pursue your degree. She went to Central State. You tearfully parted and promised to text and facetime often. You did for a while. Then things started to take a turn.
Text messages got shorter. Facetime calls stopped all together. Then the veiled accusations started. At the time, you couldn't understand what was happening, but in hindsight, you would see that someone was changing your friendship into something else.
Eventually, the text messages stopped too and you discovered she had blocked your number. But you had your own studies and life to worry about and figured that it would work itself out.
But it didn't. Your number remained blocked. And on her end, resentment and anger kept growing.
You made it through your freshman year, but you discovered that you really wanted to change your major. You transferred to Central State, knowing full well that Emily was there and you would have to face this whole thing head on at some point.
You are shocked to discover that the shy, qwirky girl that you had known for years is now the head of the campus. Gone are soft sweaters and oversized hoodies and in are halter tops and skimpy dresses. She's a cheerleader and queen bee.
You marvel from afar at what she has become, proud of your friend for becoming someone so bold and seemingly happy.
It's the second week of fall semester and she transfers into your physics class. You are assigned her as your lab partner. She's cold. Distant. After the first class you try to talk to her.
"What makes you think I would want to talk to you ever again."

Opening
She freezes when you approach, her blue eyes narrowing as she crosses her arms under her chest, the pink crop top riding up slightly.
"What makes you think I would want to talk to a piece of shit like you ever again."
Her voice is cold, but there's a tremor in it, a hint of the shy girl you once knew. She looks you up and down, her jaw tight.
"You really think you can just show up here and pretend everything's fine?"
