kk115+Difficult+Choices

"Riley? You coming?" my best friend, Amber, asked. "Umm.." I replied, uncertain. On the other side of the gymnasium, my other best friend, Emily, was ushering me to come over. It was a difficult choice. //Amber or Emily?, I thought.// I shifted uncomfortably in the middle of the gymnasium. I turned to Amber when I heard Emily sob. I turned around and headed toward Emily's direction when Amber started sobbing. I stopped and returned to my ground spot. Amber and Emily had been arguing with each other for about a well three weeks. Apparently, when Emily was trying out for the school play, Amber got the part that Emily really wanted. Emily had tried to reason with Amber to give her the part, but she said no. Ever since then, they haven't talked to each other. And I'm in the middle of it. "Are you coming or not?" Emily grunted. I turned to Amber. "Come on, Riley! I'm waiting for you!" Amber shouted. I ran to Amber and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the gymnasium. I could almost feel Emily's deep stare. "I knew you'd ditch Emily. I'm the better friend." Amber beamed. I shrugged, "I just did that to get out of there. No one's better." "Wait, what?" Amber inquired. I saw Emily come out of the gymnasium, taking a second to look at me, then returning to her sobbing session. Amber smirked and chuckled. "I'm...leaving." I said to Amber. I walked away and started running. I bumped into a tall figure and looked up. "Sorry...Emily." "It's okay. Where's Amber?" Emily asked. "It wasn't...I didn't...I didn't actually choose Amber. I just did it to get out of there." I explained. Amber came up from behind us and scared me. "I'm sorry, Amber, I shouldn't of gotten mad at you. It was stupid." Emily apologized. It made Amber smile in more than three weeks. I smiled too. "It's okay, Emily. I forgive you." Amber said. "So, it's all good now?" I ask. They both nod. I smiled and clapped. "Oh finally! Thank the lord!"
