A Fateful Encounter...

10th Grade (crucial)

   It's the start of the first semester of 10th grade and almost everyone is doing online school. At first it's really easy but then my grades plummet. I start to get very negative emotions and I try to suppress it with games, shows, anime and taking to my friends, the ones that cared at least. One friend helped me out a lot during that time, Xavier. I would always go to Xavier if I needed someone to talk to and we would always have very deep conversation about life, spirituality, existence, consciousness, importance, that kind of stuff. He helped me develop my current believes and understandings. I started to feel normal again and then first semester ended and the second semester began.
   With the start of the second semester, most people decided to go back to school, the only difference was that everyone had to wear a mask, nothing too severe. A few months past and I get acquainted with my classes and teachers and a few of my classmates. Until one day when Zeke told me that a girl in my class thought that I was pretty cute. I will not call this girl by her real name for personal reasons, instead i'll call her "Amy". Amy and I had previously shared science class together in 8th grade along side choir but never became real friends. I took her comment as a compliment and thought nothing of it. Then a few days later, Zeke tells me that Amy wants my snapchat so we can talk, I say sure and give her my snapchat (one of the biggest mistakes of my life). Over the course of a couple days I get to know Amy and we end up dating. We date over the course of about a month and a half and break up because we had too many fights. Although at first I was a little sad, I get over it and move on after a like 2 days. Even though we're still not together we still talk occasionally and eventually I tell her that i'm actually interested in fixing things with Kylee. Me and Kylee stopped talking completely and I felt like I should apologize about last year and try to start over with her and Kassidy.
   Over the course of about a week I fix things with both Kassidy and Kylee and we're all friends again, until. One day as i'm walking to the bus at the end of the day, I get a message from Amy asking why Kylee told her that i went around saying that me and Amy had sex. I immediately figure out what happened, Kylee told Amy that I went around telling people horrible things about Amy and me, which I never did but for some reason everyone believed them. Long story short I get falsely accused of saying that me and Amy had sex, Amy and Kylee both block me and i'm left alone in a pit of betrayal and anger. Later I find out that Amy went around telling people that I cheated on her as to try to solidify the fact that i'm an asshole. Then it all clicked, Amy broke up with me and when people started to question why she broke up with me, she realized that her reason made her look like an asshole so as a way to make herself look like the victim, she and Kylee both plotted together a plan to falsely accuse me of cheating on Amy and of going around and telling people that me and Amy had sex. I was immediately seen as the asshole and i was alone.
   To this day I still don't know what motive Kylee had for joining her. Jealousy? Jealous that she never got to date me. Anger? Angry that I didn't date her. Any of those are in character for her based on what kind of person she is and how she acts. 10th grade ends and again I am alone. Until 2 friends reached out to me and helped me out, Xavier and Kennedy. Kennedy is a friend I made in 8th grade but didn't get close to until now. Kennedy would her me out and help me out in any way she could. Xavier would also listen to me and provide me with advice. Both of them helped me out greatly, one thing stay in the back of my mind though. The unreasonable urge to want to speak with Kylee again. I never understand why but I really wanted to talk to her for some reason. Luckily that rude faded and I never reached out to her. By the end of summer I was mostly healed and while scared, excited for 11th grade, my favorite year so far without a doubt. :)
