To My Ex Friends

Note* this section was likely the most interesting to write! I don't know though! I have a lot of sections that I enjoyed writing!

Undoubtedly, Eleanor and I spent hours of our time together talking in History class. We also talked outside of class! I remember one time I was hard on myself. I broke down in tears that day, she gave me a hug. This was a moment I felt she was a person who cared for me. It should be noted, she drew a birthday gift for me. She has a creative mind as she devotes time towards art. She drew me a unicorn furry oc that I named Zoe! She put it on her Instagram story captioning it "HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATY!!! OOF!". One of my pet peeves was her spelling my name Katy like the pop star Katy Perry. A guy asked me out this year and that's how he spelt my name. It reminded me of old memories from Eleanor.
Eventually, she spelled my name right K-A-T-I-E.

Then, Sophomore year, I had the same lunch as Eleanor and this girl I'll call Willow. I would eat lunch with the two of them. I was living vicariously through their love lives. I was a single pringle.

Eleanor started a boy from the UK who was into art too. It was a long distance relationship, they have not met once in person. I am guessing he had an interest in Hazbin Hotel because of his profile picture. I told my mom about her commitment. My mom is someone I feel good talking to at times. She was cautious of Eleanor's decision. She believed this was a catfish scenario. I did not think he was a catfish. I reached out to him to try to be friendly. He was going to be putting up with me, as Eleanor's best friend. I kinda made him feel awkward which I normally do in social situations. My first impression of him was that he was shy. They broke up after they mutually realized a long distance relationship wasn't working.

Formerly, Eleanor dated a guy named Luke who my 8th grade orientation friend, Harper, dated. Harper went to the 8th grade Winter Formal with Luke. Both of those relationships with Luke didn't last. I didn't think Luke had the best looks. I think they both fell for his personality.

Willow is a girl I've known since 8th grade. Her table was next to mine in 8th grade. We had assigned seating by last name. Embarrassing for 8th graders, right? She was in my Sophomore year American History class. Eleanor took the chance at an Honors History class. I really wanted to take that opportunity when it was given to me.

Willow met her High School Sweetheart. She started dating him in April 2019. I am pretty sure they met in a math class. I forget the subject. I usually remember dates really well but I forgot the date they started dating. I know Willow's birthday is October 7, 2003. 4 days after Eleanor's.

Eleanor and I were annoyed by Daniel. It turned into a great deal of unnecessary drama. Eleanor and I were pretty close, REALLY close, that Daniel thought it would be nice to say we are girlfriends. Eleanor and I matched each other's vibes. When Eleanor went on a camping trip, Daniel kept saying at lunch "Do you miss your girlfriend?". The first day it was fine but then it became annoying. Eleanor told him to "shut up!". I said "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND". I would get really defensive.

Her boyfriend strained the friendship between Eleanor and Willow. Willow would apologize for her boyfriend's actions but that wasn't enough because it wasn't from him. Willow and Eleanor's parents had to get involved because of their drama. The drama was eventually resolved. Daniel and Willow are still together. Willow was obsessed with showing love to Daniel on social media. That was one of our pet peeves with Willow, her talking about her relationship a little bit too much.

I didn't have the best moments Sophomore year with boys. I had this moment Sophomore year where I had trouble confronting Eleanor. There was a guy who had a crush on me. I refrained from liking him back. Eleanor kept saying in the halls around me, near him, "Is that your soulmate?". She kept repeating it which annoyed me. I would put my guard up to Eleanor. I gave her the silent treatment. I talked to her less than I normally would during the week. I told my mom I didn't walk with her as far as I usually walk with her after lunch. I knew I expressed this toxic trait. It was hard to break the habit of mental shutdown.

Although, we did have a lot of friend group drama Sophomore year. It was a good year. Eleanor and I would walk past Mr.Millers room. She would scream "gay" in the hallway right in front of his room which is room 401. He had a substitute teacher for awhile Sophomore year. The substitute teacher would be confused why she was saying "gay" when we walked past the room. To be fair it was annoying! I felt bad for the second hand embarrassment I felt from the situation. The substitute teacher cleaned up the room. When Mr. Miller was back we visited his room, it was sad seeing an element of Mr. Miller gone.
