Rachel feigned to have accidently knocked the crystal ball on my table to the ground.
"Rachel, are you okay? Is your hand hurting?” As though holding a priceless gem, Trevor hurried to Rachel's side, took her hand and carefully examined it.
"I'm fine, but it's unfortunate that I broke the crystal ball," Rachel said, waving her hand apologetically. “This was a present you gave to Amora. Amora, I'm sorry, I'll help you glue it, it should be able to be put together again."
Despite its low value, the crystal ball was the first present Trevor gave me. Even though Trevor offered me more expensive gifts later on, this childhood friendship present was the most valuable.
I still cherished this crystal ball and kept it in the bedroom's most noticeable location.
Without concern, Trevor looked at the rubble on the ground and remarked to Rachel in a calming voice…
"It's just a little thing. Now it's broken, you don't have to worry about it. Your safety is the most important."
I nodded and said lightly, "Yeah, it doesn't matter, I was going to throw it away anyway."
In the next instant, I swept all of the crystal ball's debris into the trash bin, catching Trevor off guard.
Trevor glanced at me in disbelief, his brow furrowing further and deeper.
"Amora, what do you mean?"
I shook my head and spoke in an emotionless voice.
"It doesn't mean anything. Broken things should have stayed in the trash can."
Trevor moved forward to seize my wrist, dropped his voice and mockingly said, "Amora, did you think of another trick? I told you to put such inappropriate ideas away, or else..."
Rachel could have been a little upset to see Trevor approaching me too closely. "Trevor, I'm so hungry, let's go out for a midnight snack," she said quickly, changing the topic.
Trevor nodded to Rachel, pushed my hand away in disdain and said softly, "Okay, I'll take you to whatever you want to eat."
Rachel hypocritically said, "I want to eat spicy hot chicken wings," leaning on Trevor's arms like a little bird. “Do you want to join us, Amora?”
I firmly said, "No, I'm not hungry," without even considering it. “You guys can go without me."
As if considering whether or not what I had said was true, Trevor pursed his thin lips into a line and dropped his gaze.
After all, if it were before, I would use every opportunity to get along with Trevor. Always actively approaching him.
