The Day My Heart Got Broken

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lily.
She was just like any other kid in her school, except she had a best friend named Emma. They were super close, like two peas in a pod. They’d
play at recess, trade snacks at lunch, and tell each other secrets no one else knew. Lily thought Emma would be her best friend forever.
One day, everything changed. It was a sunny Tuesday when Emma started hanging out with another girl named Sophie. At first, Lily didn’t
think much of it. But then, Emma stopped sitting with her at lunch. She wouldn’t play with her at recess, and worst of all, she didn’t want to
talk as much. Lily’s stomach hurt every time she saw Emma laughing with Sophie, like the laughter used to belong to them but now it
didn’t. Lily tried talking to Emma about it, but Emma just shrugged and said, “You’re being too dramatic. Friends can have other friends.” That
sentence was like a big rock hitting Lily’s heart, and she felt a tear come to her eye. She wasn’t trying to be dramatic, she was just really, really
sad. One day, at recess, she went up to Emma and Sophie. “Can I play too?” she asked. Sophie looked at Emma and said, “No, we’re already a
pair.” Emma didn’t say anything, just kind of looked away. Lily felt her heart break in that moment. It was like losing something really
important, but you couldn’t do anything to get it back. That night, Lily cried into her pillow. She wondered if she had done something wrong, or
if she wasn’t good enough to be Emma’s friend anymore. The next day at school, she tried to act normal, but her heart still hurt.                                                                                                                          She realized that sometimes people change, and maybe Emma wasn’t going to be her best friend anymore. And that was the hardest part of all.
But slowly, Lily started to feel a little better. She talked to other kids and found out that some of them liked playing the same games she did. She
made new friends. Even though her heart was still a bit cracked, she learned that it’s okay to feel sad sometimes, and it’s okay to make new
friends too. But she would always remember the day her heart got broken for the first time.
