"YOU HAD NO RIGHT!" I screamed at her as I changed my clothes.

"Rose, you're being over dramatic…"

"SHUT UP, MIA! NOW! I don't wanna hear it." I laughed bitterly, "Here I was, thinking you actually gave a shit about me. I was such an idiot!"

"No, don't say that… I do care, Rose. You're my best friend."

"Then fucking explain this to me!" I said, slapping the papers on her desk.

The title of the article was what pissed me off the most: "From Geek Gnome to Greek Goddess". Right underneath it were four pictures of women, one of them me.

I felt completely humiliated!

"I didn't want to write the article! But when Tatiana, the chief editor, heard about our project she thought it would be a great idea. She forced me to write it. I had no choice!"

"You did have a choice! You could have told me! Would I have been a little pissed off and hesitant about it? Yes, you know me, but I would have helped you, Mia. Instead, you went behind my back and made a complete fool out of me!"

"That's not true! I really didn't have a choice, Rose. It was either writing the article or finding another job."

I shook my head in disbelief, "You don't get it, do you? I'm not talking about you writing the article, I'm talking about my privacy being invaded without my knowledge! You know what? I'm done. Don't call me, don't text me. We are done."

I put on my jacket and walked out of the building, fighting my tears away.
