Okay, so most of you have noticed that I've been gone for a very long time and I just feel like I owe you guys some explaining. REASON ONE: I got a phone and I just forgot about Scratch. REASON TWO: (you do NOT have to read ANY of this blabbing, sorry it;s so long, lol) So I went through a lot with a special friend: Day one of kindergarten, I went to school and me and this girl bonded immediately and I won't say her name, but I"ll call her Cactus for now. We were best friends for life and we did everything together. We were SO CLOSE!! Year after year we would get the same classes, too... Until 5th grade. I practically BEGGED my principal to put us together... obviously, it didn't work. Cactus got put in a class with all of the popular kids. Guys and girls. She began changing slowly every day. I was put in a class with nerdy, geeky, nice, awkward people. (Much like myself). I had known four people, Mckenzie, Phoebe, Gracie and Sophia. I did not like Phoebe... because Cactus told me not to. She told me I couldn't be friends with her. Sadly, I didn't object. Me and Mckenzie (Mck), met in 1st grade and my teacher told me and cactus to be her friends. Me and Mck never really bonded. She made besties of her own. Sophia I met in... I honestly don't know. I just know we were besties and at the end of 3rd grade, she moved to Mexico. She was gone all of 4th and came back for 5th cos her family missed the area. I hated Gracie back in 2nd I think cos... I don't know... :l I just didn't like her. This year, I was sad not being in Cactus's class, but I was glad to be in Sophia's class. Little did I know that Sophia would move back to Mexico in 3 short weeks. SO I had 3 weeks with Sophia, but me and Mck bonded, too. I also decided to give Phoebe a chance, and later, Gracie. We all became SO close, almost as close as me and Cactus. Speaking of which, cactus hardly spoke to me anymore. She would always hang out with the Popular girls. Fast forward to about a month ago, I went to the bathroom with phoebe during PE because I am NOT athletic and Cactus came in with 2 popular girls. Me and Cactus were still friends, btw. Popular girl 1 started gossiping about the nicest boy in our grade, and then she asked everyone a question about the boy. The point is, I raised my hand for something that I SHOULD NOT have. I felt SO bad. me and Phoebe did it because of Pier Pressure. We felt bad about it so we wrote a note to our teacher about what happened. Note that I didn't mention Cactus's name ONCE. Later that day, me and Phoebe brought money for a smoothie because it was a special day and a smoothie truck was coming to our school. Well, Cactus and a bunch of her friends stop me and start screaming at me for tattling on her. She said some things that really hurt me and implied that we couldn't be friends anymore if I would be a snitch about things. I about broke down but I didn't dare show weakness to that group of girls. Me and Phoebe kept walking and after we were out of earshot Phoebe stopped dead and turned me towards her and she saw me crying. She gave me a huge hug and told me that they are jerks and that it was going to be okay. I literally could not find a better friend than Phoebe!! She is so amazing. Just one year and me and Phoebe are closer than me and Cactus would ever be. I come back that day and tell my Mum everything. Later that night, Cactus calls and I think she is calling to apologize. How dumb could I be? Turns out, she called to let me know that because of what I did, I have a bad reputation at this school and amongst her friends. I. DO. NOT. CARE!! Next morning, I skip school to give them one more day to cool off. Sitting in Wards sipping my Orange Juice with my Mum when she gets a call from the principal. My teacher, the principal, my counselor and Cactus are sitting in the office and Cactus is crying her eyes out telling me she's "SO SORRY" and note that my Mum is sitting next to me with her ear up to the phone eavesdropping. So my counselor asks me if I can forgive her. I cross my fingers and say yes. My Mum then takes the phone and mentions the reputation thing because she feels something fishy. Cactus denies saying that I have a bad rep. REALLY NOW, GIRLFRIEND? REALLY? Just imagine if I was sitting in the office with them!! I couldn't do it. I'm not allowed to sit in the same room as Cactus because of what she said to me. I stayed in to shelf books everytime we had PE together, normally with Phoebe, Gracie, or Mck. Also, now I know that Mck is being homeschooled for 2 years, so I won't see her until 8th grade and I'm worried we won't connect again!! D: AND-- I chose to do Choir for middle school instead of band or rotation because Cactus was doing it. I had chosen it beofre we parted. I THOUGHT Phoebe was doing choir too, but I just figured out that Phoebe and Gracie are doing... ROATATION. BUT- My Mum is trying to switch me!! Now I'm going into Middle School, and I am TERRIFIED. This was just the start...
