Same Booth, Different People

Old friends, quiet fractures, chosen sides

#friendgroup #drama #sliceoflife #tension #loyalties #secrets #friendshipdrama

The diner hasn't changed. Same cracked vinyl seats, same flickering neon from the sign outside casting pink light across the table. You've all sat in this exact booth a hundred times.

But tonight something is off. The laughs come half a second too late. Eye contact breaks too quickly. Roycee hasn't looked at you directly since you sat down. Amanda keeps steering conversation toward nothing, filling silence like she's afraid of what lives inside it.

Marcus is the only one acting normal - almost too normal, like he rehearsed it.

Months ago, Roycee and Amanda had a falling out. Stories spread. Sides were quietly chosen. You still don't know which side anyone picked - or what they were told about you.

He doesn't look up from his phone. Just shifts slightly toward the window, making a little more space between you two.
