Dear Mildred,
A couple of months ago
I noticed that there was a shift in our friendship, a deadly one. Now I'm not blaming you. Well, not completely. You see, I am an extremely busy person and
some things are just more important than others. These key things include my grades and my
extracurricular activities. These things
are staples for a successful future, my future.
The importance of these can sometimes overshadow the importance of our
friendship. I understand that you're
upset that I've been neglecting you. But
I am absolutely appalled that you think that I've been lying about my crazy
schedule all this time. I'm definitely
not lying to you on purpose. Trust me, I
know better than that.
What happened many
months ago was a huge slap in the face for me.
I tried so incredibly hard to fit in and get along with your group of friends. It was the first time I was seeing this side
of you. I always knew it existed but I
had never witnessed it. You’re popular
and at first I thought it was cool because I knew you were yourself around me. Let’s face it; I’m the farthest from
popularity so there was no need to impress me.
But when you’re with your other friends impressing them is the only
thing you’re concerned about. When one
of your friends started bullying me and then the other completed excluded me
from your little trio I was hurt. Not
because they were doing mean things; I’m not the type to worry about what
others think about me unlike you. It was
because you never stood up for me. You
never apologized either. All I could
think about was why I was even friends with you in the first place. You were always mad at me because you’re so
clingy and I was only your second choice; never the first. You don’t like my other friends and they don’t
like you. But the difference is, they at
least pretended. In the world we live
in, that’s what you have to do to avoid any drama. That’s why I’m so happy to have friends like
them. I don’t know why you’re jealous of
them either. I’d think you’d be happy
that I have such true friends that have my back no matter what. But I guess you’ve always known that loyalty
isn’t your best trait.
I’m sorry to say that I
don’t think you’ll ever change and even if you did, I don’t know if I’ll ever
be able to forgive you for all of what you’ve put me through. Again, I’m not blaming you completely. But the majority of our issues are your
entire fault.
Like I always
say, what goes around comes around. So
you better watch your back. Lord knows
your friends won’t have it.
