Write a dialogue scene that portrays a toxic relationship.
Hostile Interactions
It was a summer afternoon and Carol decided she wanted to get some ice cream. She drove down the street to a shop. After she got home she decided to take a walk to enjoy her treat. As she was walking around her neighborhood she ran into Lily. They didn't like each other much.
"Are you doing anything later today?" said Lily. "We should hang out!"
"No, it's okay," replied Carol. "I have things I need to finish up at the house."
"Maybe after you're done we can go out of town to try this really good restaurant that I like."
"I don't really want to go anywhere," said Carol. "I don't think that I should really be doing anything with you."
Furious by Carol declining an offer to hang out. Lily shouted, "You are such a little witch!"
They never had much of a relationship but Lily was so angry she couldn't get what she wanted out of the interaction. Especially in efforts of attempting to spend time together. Despite the fact tension was always there and this moment was exactly what it lead to every single time.
