1256 views, over 156 likes, 284 reactions to that one photo. Nicol's picture was gaining more and more reach. Karolina had been scrolling through her screen for a long time, interrupting this activity with another forced trip to the toilet. It was Saturday, zero school obligations. Homework could wait, and in fact it had to, because the girl spent lazy weekends like this mostly browsing social media.
As she seamlessly scrolled from Instagram to Facebook once more, she came across the smiling face of her friend, Nicol. Embracing a handsome guy against the backdrop of a new car he'd received from his parents as an eighteenth birthday present. Hearts and comments poured in under the post, and Karolina didn't know how to react. She and Nicol had known each other since they were at school, always sticking together. For all those years, they'd been in the same class at St. George's Primary School. Even though they were now at different schools, they still kept in good contact. Karolina stared at the photo for a long time. She knew that behind Nicol's boyfriend's kind smile, there was something more.
