drink. She told me about her new boyfriend. He betrayed her and
she got upset. Then, I went to another friend’s house – Emily. She
asked me about Alisa’s new boyfriend and I told her the whole
story. One day, Emily met Alisa and asked how she and her
boyfriend were then. And Alisa got angry with me, she said I broke
