The Story of my Life . (based on a true story)

Chapter 9- I knew she was trouble

Chapter 9- *I knew she was trouble.*

Listen to the song on the right. It was my best friend(Abigail) and my song : ) We used to sing it everyday, haha.

 **

“But all I know is that the once perfect friendship that I had with Abigail was disappearing, bit by bit. Soon, it will be all gone.”

And, it was gone. I didn’t talk to Abigail ever since I became close with Natasha. Maybe, just occasional ‘Hi’s’ and ‘Bye’s’. Nothing else. That’s not a very healthy friendship with someone you were so close at one point of time but again, I didn’t realize how important she was to me then. I took things for granted. And guess what? God has repaid me with this.

But before all of this happened, when Abigail and Natasha were still very close, I’ve always prayed to God that one day they would break their relationship. I know, I was being selfish but if you were in my shoes, you would have done the same.

Every day after school, I would rush home and lock myself in the room and cry. Cry my eye-balls out. Crying made me ease the burden and the pain that was filling up in my weak heart. I cried because Abigail didn’t pay attention to me at all. I cried because I felt like no one wanted me.

My mother would eventually find me in the room crying but whenever she asked me why, I wouldn’t tell her anything. I would just make up some random lie that came to my mind. They say ‘speaking out your problems to someone would make you feel better’, but for me, crying made it all easier to release the hurt.

During free periods or break, Natasha and Abigail would laugh so loudly that even I, who would be sitting in the toilet, could hear it. You want to know why I sit in the toilet? Well, that’s simple. It’s just that whenever I catch sight of them being so happy, I feel my heart breaking. In the end, I start crying again. I mean, I don’t mind crying but I didn’t want to cry in front of them. It will only make them think that I’m really affected by their close friendship, which I am but it’s better if you just keep some things to yourself.

Eventually after a few months, I got over the fact that Abigail would never be my best friend again and the fact that Natasha and Abby will always share that close friendship. I stopped crying and I decided to pull my full focus on my studies. I got back on my feet and just when life seemed to give me a second chance, the devil walked in.

It would be good if I can quote Taylor Swift’s song. “I knew you were trouble when you walked in.” Yes, something in my heart told me Natasha was going to ruin my life. Honestly, I hated her terribly ever since she stole my best friend but when she started talking to me, my whole opinion of her changed in a second.

Somehow or another, her words made me feel triumphant. Have you ever heard of this term called ‘Sweet talk?’ It’s when people tell you nice things until you carelessly fall inside their trap. To think of it now, I’m not sure if Natasha was either really good at sweet-talking or was I that gullible? Well, let me re-emphasize the face that when you’re too nice, people take advantage of you. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be nice but be nice to people who deserve it. Clearly, that little devil didn’t deserve any of my respect.

But sadly, I gave it to her. Till today, I scold myself every time for doing such a foolish mistake.

“Hey Jules, what’s up?” Natasha asked me as she took a seat beside me.

“Nothing,” I simply said. She nodded her head and gave me an innocent smile. That smile, the one that blinded my eyes.

“So any plans for today?” she asked me as she took out her pretty notebook and scribbled something on it.

I stared at her, my eyes enlarging as I took in what she said. She didn’t know today was my birthday?

“Hello?” Natasha snapped me out of my thought, waving her hand in front of my face. Ok so seriously, she really didn’t know it was my birthday? But I thought she did? Oh maybe she was planning a surprise birthday party for me later. Yeah, that’s why she merely ‘acted’ like she didn’t know it was my birthday. I smiled, reassuring myself.

School ended and guess what? Natasha went home.

She really did forget about my birthday. After all the things that we shared and laughed about, even a small birthday wish would have been great.

She didn’t even do that.

She did nothing.

Seriously you can call me attention-seeking or whatsoever, but I’m used to it. I’m used to Abigail planning unexpected birthday parties for me. I’m used to Abigail trying her very best to only make me smile and feel special about myself on my birthday. I miss Abigail.

At that instant, something heavy dawned onto me. I knew Natasha wasn’t my true friend. In fact, she wasn’t even a friend.

Not because she forgot my birthday but because, because of everything.

She made me loose the best friend that I could have ever met. The only true friend that I would have ever mixed with.

I just fell to my knees and let the tears fall down my warm cheeks. Who cares if people thought I was mad? I loosed my best friend. Wasn’t that enough?

I should have realized the moment she walked into my life that she just wanted to ruin it. All she wanted was friends that’s all. Heck popularity, where did true friendship go?

Why are people so self-centered?

Why do bitches still exist in this world?

What do you gain by being popular, really? Nothing.

You gain nothing.

But in the end, there’s no point blaming Natasha. I should blame myself. I was so gullible that I believed every word she said. I should have known... that she was trouble.
