Can you recommend a short story about a friend?

There was a girl called Lily who was my so - called friend. She was selfish in the way she always wanted all the attention. If there were a group of us chatting, she'd constantly interrupt others to talk about herself. For example, when we were sharing our vacation experiences, she would start talking about her trips and not let anyone else finish their stories. Also, if there was something she liked, like a book or a piece of jewelry that I had, she would try to take it for herself without considering my feelings. I realized she wasn't a true friend.

Once upon a time, Anna and Lisa were best friends. They shared all their secrets. But when Lisa started dating a boy, Anna also fell for him secretly. Instead of being honest, Anna told lies to the boy about Lisa, like she was flirting with other guys. Eventually, the boy broke up with Lisa. When Lisa found out it was Anna's doing, she felt so betrayed. Friendship should be about honesty and support, not such underhanded actions.

Beth forgave Anna, but their friendship was never the same again.
