It's weird. When I was in fifth grade, there was this girl. She was like, my best friend. For a little while, at least. She wasn't really what I'd call "girly", but she was totally into fashion and stuff like that. Favorite stores? Abercrombie, Hollister, stuff like that. She'd drag me to them at the mall and we'd try on an infinite amount of clothes. When I went to her house, we had the best time ever. She really was a great friend. However, that started to change. She began ignoring me, telling her friends I was annoying and that she didn't like me. She had done this to other girls before. She was kind of like that person who could only have one friend at a time, if you know what I mean... well, anyways, when one of my good friends told me that she didn't invite me to her birthday party, I was so devistated. I knew our friendship was over.
Now I'm in 8th grade. Just a few weeks ago, I saw her at the mall with a few kids I had been friends with in sixth grade (I switched schools since then). Some of these kids are kind of dark, but not in a bad way. They like anime (well, so do I), they shop at stores like Hot Topic... you know, that kind of middle schooler. And I'm still friends with some of them.
Well, anywho, I saw her there. She had bleached her hair blonde and cut it really short, and was dressed completely different... NOT the type of girl who would be shopping at stores like A&F and giving you makeovers when you slept over at her house.
I asked my friend about her a few weeks ago, saying, "Oh, you're friends with her? Is she nice?"
"Yeah," my friend replied. "She's changed so much. Now she's into anime and she likes all the music we do and stuff like that."
It just makes me realize how much people change. She sounds as though she's a completely different person. I want to be friends with her again, but the thing is, I don't think her group of friends would really "accept" me, if you know what I mean. I'm a cheerleader, I'm kind of girly and kind of sporty...just not the type of girl that those girls would be friends with. It's kind of sad, because I'd love to mend some of the friendships I had.
But I guess that's life. ♥
