Chapter 3
I will explain my friendship with her in a shortened version. I met her in the first grade, we were six. She was the new kid, a transfer student, and her locker was near mine. I welcomed her ,was nice to her, and we quickly became friends. When I was younger I will admit , I was a bit of a jerk, but that's because I frequently got judged, for not acting "girly" or wearing preppy clothing. She never spoke of it, didn't seem to care/mind. And I LOVED her for that, she had a kind, sweet heart. As we were a bit older she started to hang out with me less and less because she had other friends, and I never really got upset about it because I never was or will be a controlling person!! As the years went on we were still "best friends" but she met new people and so did I, and that's when we began to drift apart.
She had her own separate friend group as well as I. If we passed each other in the hallway we would quickly smile and say "Hello!" and went to our classes. It was upsetting at the time for me, because we didn't have really any classes together. I felt really lonely and I needed her, so I hung out with her and her new friends, just to be with her. She was still nice but we didn't seem to have the same interests anymore and get along as well. She always told me , "I missed your laugh so much!" Well, you could've heard it more if you hung out with me more.
If she invited me somewhere I would adjust my schedule and my time to hangout with her, I also made sure I was there, but when it came down to coming to my house or simply coming to my birthday she never would. I was so desperate to be her friend because I really loved our old friendship but I had no hope.
She began to turn toxic and popular, and everything circled around her. Our friendship was always on and off, but I dealt with it. Over this pandemic we got into a lot of fights via text. She would either ignore me or act as if she didn't care. Whenever I shared my opinion she would bash it and bring me down, not even in a joking manner. She couldn't respect my thoughts and opinion. I told her I wasn't going to be her friend anymore for plenty of reasons. Therefore I love her and hate her.
