A little background info: I have a group of friends I used to hang out with all the time in the three years of middle school: Ian, Mary, Samantha, Lisa, Abby, and myself. We weren't cool to most people, but we were to each other. To this day, I still hang out with Abby, Lisa, and Mary. In fact, I couldn't be any closer to Abby and Mary.
In eighth grade, I dated Abby for a few months. She broke up with me, and lied about it to the class, saying I broke the ice. What a terrible way to enter high school. Since everyone is friends with Abby, everyone hated me because they believed her when she said how awful I was. After three or so months after school started, Abby apologized to me, to which I didn't accept. I have to admit I was very rude to her, and by June of freshman year, I so sincerely apologized and we're like siblings now. Two people didn't handle the breakup well, though: Ian and Samantha. In our circle of friends, it's like the mob from the Godfather. You insult one, you insult all. Except Mary. Mary will always love me, and will never be mad at me, no matter what I do. After discovering my fury at Abby's lie, Ian and Samantha were both mad at me, not believing Abby lied to everyone. I was by myself in that thesis.
Samantha. I spoke to Samantha about everyone being upset with me. I said, except for Mary, I had no more friends. They were all mad at me. She said, "It's because you push them away. You don't give them the time of day". That's not true. After arguing for days with Samantha about related subjects, I never spoke to her again. When I spoke to people, they were to mad because "I broke up with Abby". I just don't know what bee is in her bonnet.
Ian. Ian kinda relates to this. From sixth grade to eighth, Ian and I were inseparable. Best friends. We went on ski trips together, and hung out at lunch and in class all the time. He, too, was mad at "me breaking up with Abby" and me being mad at her. He knows I so sincerely apologized to Abby, but we barely speak. When I text him, he replies, but it doesn't last too long. Between October of freshman year to now (February of sophomore year), we have not spoken more than five sentences to each other at a time. We have spoken, like six times to each other. Did I offend him, or has he moved past me?
For those who read this damn essay, thanks.
