 I’m the anti social quiet girl. I hardly poke in school and couldn’t relate to anyone. Then, one October day she came to school. She was the new girl and didn’t know anyone. One day, I, being the nice girl I was, decided to introduce myself and make friends with this new girl. We quickly connected and became “best friends”. My so-called best friend told me her deepest secret and I told her mine – like best friends often do. After this, it didn’t take me long to see her true colors. One day, my “best friend” also confessed to me that she loved being popular. Unlike her, I never knew popularity and never wanted it; she seemed to get in with the “popular kids” like nothing. But, I thought, “You know opposites attract”. Soon after that, she got with the “popular kids” and soon stopped talking to me for days and weeks at a time. Instead of hanging out with me, her “best friend”, she decided she would much rather hang out with the popular kids. I remember her calling this girl she just met, and after only having one conversation with her, calling that girl her new friend. She even told most of the people I disliked one of my secrets. Even though it wasn’t that big of a deal, I knew I couldn’t tell her anything else or even trust her to keep her mouth shut with even little details of mine. Then, when my birthday rolled around, she couldn’t even call to wish me a happy birthday. I realized then that I couldn’t trust people - even people I thought were my friends. That is the lesson that my so-called best friend taught me.
