I let out a soft grin as I remembered that my best friend, Aspen, was coming over today. This past week might've been terrible overall, but I am keen that today is going to be fun, or at least worth it because she's going to be there. I repeat myself if I say I've grown an emotional attachment to her over the years. Before her, I didn't even know how I lived. You could say she's like the sister I never had. Aspen has stuck by me ever since the 3rd grade. She's the only girl who remained close when I left Pittsburgh for good. She promised me that wherever I went, she would be right behind me, so I'm very grateful that she and Alex (my other best friend) moved to California when my family and I did. Actually, Aspen's parents are very close with mine, especially Aspen's mom, whom I consider my second mother. My mom and hers have been best friends since high school, and when they finally moved back to Pittsburgh, we became very connected. Back in Pittsburgh, we all lived in the same neighborhood. Me, Aspen, and our guy best friend Alex. Even though Aspen didn't go to the same school as Alex and I until Freshman year, we still helped each other get through middle school, which was the hardest especially for me, because of bullies. Girl bullies. And yes High school was shit as well, but nothing compared to middle school. The teasing & bullying started when this one girl in the 7th grade started a rumor that I was dating Alex, and that I was hiding it because I wanted to "make the other girls jealous". I think both Alex and I agreed that the girl just wanted for Alex to like her, which he obviously didn't. Besides, he was only 14. The rumors eventually got worse given the fact everyone believed them and started preaching them to their other friends. It might not sound as serious, but it got worse. All the girl cliques in 7th and 8th grade would start talking shit about me, giving me looks when I entered the girls' bathroom, stuffing my locker with shit notes, etc.
