Alex and Fiona dug into their pie, devouring every last morsel, whilst Carmen simply pushed her pie around. Carmen looked defeated and Alex felt slightly guilty, although she didn't know why. She had no reason to feel guilty.<br/><br/>'Maybe Carmen feels like I'm replacing her as a friend,' Alex thought to herself, lost in thought. She had no intention of replacing her best friend, but she was also unwilling to let Fiona go. She a real challenge on her hands and balancing the two girls was going to be hard. Alex vowed in that moment that she was going to get them to like each other. Everyone has some common ground and she now felt determined to find out what that was.
