The whole week went with everyone preparing for the final exams as the next month was going to be worrisome for everyone. 

Two days before our exams, I found Lily a bit upset. Even though she was sitting in front of her open book and looked like she was studying, me and Zinnia knew something was distressing her. 

"What's wrong?" I asked Lily as I leaned on her study table while Zinnia sat on her bed. 

Lily raised her head to look at me and then turned towards Zinnia. 

"What?" she asked, dumbfounded.

Zinnia sighed before saying, "Look, Lily. We know something's frazing you. If there's something like that then just tell us. Talk to us."

"Yeah, you're gonna make yourself stressed. And with that the exams are coming up," I said.

"It's nothing, guys. I'm fine. I'm just stressed about the exams," Lily said, giving us a tight smile. 

I moved the books and papers that were scattered to a side and sat on the table. 

"See girl, we aren't gonna buy anything you're selling today. Talk, or else fail for your exams," I said, as a matter of fact.

Lily sighed and leaned back on her chair.
"Nothing passes your eyes, girls."

"Yeah, so tell us. What happened?" Zinnia asked.

"Is it Andrew?" I asked, noticing the hesitancy. 

Lily looked at me for a few seconds and nodded her head. I sighed while Zinnia poked her chin out. 

"What's with him?" Zinnia asked. 

"He's...he's been a bit distant nowadays. He doesn't text me or call me and even if I text or call him, he doesn't talk properly. He just replies with ok and mm and..." she dimmed. 

"And?" I asked.

"He doesn't say I love you these days", Lily said, looking down.

"Pff...is that a big deal?" I asked. 

Zinnia and Lily snapped their heads towards me. Zinnia looked at me with knitted eyebrows and shook her head while Lily was gaping at me. 

"Seriously, Elka?" Zinnia asked. 

"Why did you even ask me what's wrong in the first place, Elka?" Lily asked. 

I was dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say. 

Elka, go hang up yourself!

"I-I'm sorry", I said, looking down at my fingers that were resting on my lap. "I didn't mean to."

Lily held my hands and squeezed it. "It's fine. I know you didn't mean to say that."

"Yeah, we know your fucking uncontrollable mouth!" Zinnia said, her voice clearly stating that she was angry. 

"I said sorry, right? Now what?" I asked back.
