Chilly was really angry with Aaloo. He felt that his best friend hadn’t supported him, and that’s why he lost. Aaloo was wanting to explain what had really happened. Now let’s see what happened next, ……
I said to Chilly, “Sorry, Chilly, please listen to me. Let me tell you…”
Before I could explain my side of the story, Parsley interrupted, “Why are you saying sorry? Just so he didn’t look bad, you told everyone he let Coco win. He should be saying sorry to you!”
I thought to myself, 'Parsley is saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.’
Now Chilly became really annoyed and said, “I didn’t ask him to say sorry. If Aaloo had to say something, he should have said, ‘Instead of supporting my best friend, I encouraged outsiders. I tried to break Chilly’s self-confidence. At the last moment, I broke our friendship!”
What? Chilly, what are you saying? I broke my friendship with you? I broke your self-confidence?
But Chilly did not stop there. He went on, “Since we were little, I have never left your side. Even when everyone said you’d never be able to skate, I never said that to you! You were so overweight that any skates you wore would break - so I had special skates made just for you! Today, everyone goes around praising you, but back then, no one but me acknowledged you. So, why did you do this to me?”
Phew… Chilly has directly asked me why I behaved that way. So now I will tell him and he will understand.
Before I could say anything, Parsley interrupted, “Why are you talking like this to Aaloo? He considers you his best friend - and you?”
Chilly, crying, replied, “Aaloo is not my best friend anymore! I’ve been telling him for ages that I’m hurting, but he never has time to talk to me. From now on, don’t ever come to see me or have a Chilly-shake with me again.”
After saying this, Chilly walked away. I stood
there, stunned. Had Chilly really ended our friendship? He didn’t even let me speak… didn’t listen to anything I had to say!
I wiped my eyes and turned around. To my surprise, Theo, his friends, and Coco had been standing behind us. They had heard everything. Giffy was crying even more loudly than Chilly. The others also had tears in their eyes. Everyone… except for one… Parsley. Parsley’s face had turned redder than Chilly’s. What if he ends up causing more damage in his rage? But then again… what more damage could be done? Chilly has already broken our friendship.
