Murr, I don't really need a hug, but I need to get something off my chest and talking to anonymous internet people is the greatest form of therapy!
Okay, here goes, get ready for a long one because this is covering 2-3 years of my life XD
I had a friend, let's call her C. So, C and I both came to our school in the 7th grade. We became best friends almost instantly, out personalities seemed to fit perfectly. We had a lot of good times. Then, slowly, our once small group of friends began to grow...
It turned from just the two of us, to five of us. I started to become pretty close to another girl, let's call her M. It was still pretty much C and I being the "besties," but soon after, a girl named E came into the equation. C and E were okay friends before, but it seemed like they grew closer overnight. Soon, the "besties" shifted, and now it was C and E. I was hurt, but just a tiny bit. I should have known that bad stuff was coming.
A fight broke out between the five of us. It was over something stupid too. Who we should vote for homecoming (yes, it's stupid, I know). Basically, it split our little group up for around 2 weeks. There were two sides in the fight. M and I. C, E, and another girl. Now, over this two week period, M and I grew closer even more. One day, C confronted me, telling me that M was taking me away from C. I comforted her. I didn't want to lose C, she was my first and pretty much closest friend.
She and E didn't sit with us anymore at recess and lunch. She didn't say hi to us when we passed her in the halls. There were no more sleepovers or pool parties or anything. I asked C one day: "How come you don't sit with us anymore?"
She didn't reply. She shrugged, turned, and walked away.
I should have seen it coming. I chose to turn a blind eye and deny myself the truth that the inevitable was coming. We still go to the same school. There has been worse fights. During recess, she came up to me one day crying. I asked her what was wrong. She replied, "you're what's wrong." I didn't know how to respond. So I just stood there, making stupid little noises and trying to think about what to say. Once again, she walked away.
Now, it's three years since I met C. She's practically the most popular girl in our grade. She doesn't speak, or acknowledge me. I feel as if I was just a stepping stone so that she could skyrocket in popularity. Although, yesterday, we held our first conversation in around a year. Awkward is an understatement. She began the conversation.
"Hey, sweetie!" (Don't ask me why she called me sweetie, I'm still baffled.)
"Oh, hey."
"Do you know where *Person* is?"
"No, sorry. You can go ask *Person*. He might know."
"Hmm, 'kay. Did you know I'm in the spring play?"
"No. The cast list is out?"
"Yeah. I'm the mom. Pretty big role."
"Congrats." (By now, I didn't have a clue what to say, can you tell? XD)
"So yeah." She looked over her shoulder and saw another friend. She just turned and ran away. I was seriously confused. Our first conversation in what seemed like ages. Yay? Oh yeah, and my locker is conveniently next to hers, so I get to hear all about the "hotties" in our grade, who also manage to be the guys that flip me off constantly and call me some pretty nasty names.
So yeah. There's my story. Woohoo. Go teenage drama XD And Oh my God! My post is way longer than I expected it to be. Sorry people XD
