"How was school?" mum asked me as we were sitting at the dinner table that night.
When I came home from school I went straight to my room and locked the door. I didn't want to talk about Charlotte or the argument we were having
It kept playing on my mind on repeat. The look in her face, the anger in her voice and the way she walked away. Its something I will never forget.
We have had arguments before. This one just feels different. I am in no rush to apologize. I don't even know what I would apologize for I have done nothing wrong. Its her, Charlotte need to apologize to me for dragging our dirty laundry in to the playground for everyone to hear. I would have liked it to have been kept between us but of course nothing at school ever is.
On my way home more people were telling me they were on my side. Some people said they liked how I put Charlotte in her place and that it was about time someone should stand up to her. I realize that people didn't like Charlotte very much but I didn't realize that it was the whole school.
Its just two friends having an argument. No one else should be involved.
This is why I wanted to talk in private. I hate being centre of attention now I'm all people seem to want to talk about. If this was done in private no body would have to take sides. I know Charlotte she will take this as a betrayal or as me stabbing her in her back getting everyone on my side. I just wish she didn't see it like that. If only she would talk to me.
She knows better than anyone that I hate airing my dirty laundry in public. Everyone will start talking, taking sides and want a fight. That's probably what they wanted. There hasn't been a lot of fights at school lately so everyone thought ours was going to be the biggest fight yet
All I want to do is make peace with her. I hate arguing with Charlotte. If there is ant type of disagreements in the friendship group Charlotte is the person I go to. She has this way of making me understand where I went wrong. In this situation I feel as if I have done nothing wrong. Maybe if I just listen to her I would understand where she is coming from but I cant.
One she wont talk to me and two if I talk to her right now it would just be another screaming match. I don't want or need that right now.
Why did I have to intervene? Why couldn't I just have let Charlotte deal with Oliver the way she wanted to?
Every time I think it over I start to question if I did the right thing. See we all have to choices to make in any situation
I could have said nothing got on with my work and charlotte would still be talking to me
Try and talk some sense into her to try not to get her into trouble
I feel like I made the wrong choice but it was the right choice at the moment. Would I make it again? Absolutely. Was it a good choice for Charlotte? Absolutely not
I do hope she will forgive me thorough. I hope that one day she can look back and see what a good friend I am to her. I'm not sure Jessica would do the same. She would have just let Charlotte get on with it.
I'm not the type to sit back and watch. If I can fix it I will. However this is something I can't fix on my own. I need Charlotte to work with me.
I do hope she wont be made at me for too long. I just don't know what to do without her
