Conflict means dispute or difference in opinion.

Kiki felt like she was doing injustice with Mrs. Haverford by breaking their trust so she despite of knowing the consequences of Mya humiliation towards her she chooses to tell the truth. So, Kiki had the inner conflict of whether to be quite or to turn Mya in.
