I was going in kindergarten when I first met sage. back then I adored plays and we were in robin hood. I was sitting on a bench in conconally after tryouts and she walked up to me. your in the robin hood play right? she said. lets be friends. not knowing her and not having any friends of my own, I agreed. that was the day that our friendship truly started.
I had no other friends except for sage. sure I had a couple side friends but most kids thought sage was too different and I stuck up for her so they left her alone mostly. except for a couple things, I felt like her life got better. I went over to her house and she went over to mine. she had a commanding sort of sense so most of the time I let her take charge. I'm sure she thought she owned me. every 2 weeks she would say she didn't want to be friends anymore. I just remember thinking about how hard it would be to find other friends after sage and crying my heart out night after night. I made up with her and she took charge again. soon I was the only person coming to her birthday parties. every time I thought it was over I thought I could find a glimmer of hope that she would change her ways. I started to gain a will of my own by 5th grade and I called her worthless one time. she said her mom would call my mom and even though I was scared to death of getting in trouble, I said "fine. my mom will answer that call" I dreaded going home to see if her mom had called or not but she never did. there was also one more thing. every year I liked a different boy but she always liked the same one. Justin. she was always talking about him and sometimes I wondered if she stalked him just a little bit. soon we were in 6th grade and I was getting tired of her. whenever we had a fight everyone had to know about it and I walked into school those days with everyone I met saying " sage is mad at you" i met this girl named rose and we started hanging out and sage got jealous. she started to try to spread rumors that rose was no good. she said rose was making me bad. her birthday party was full of drama that year. that was the last time I was at her house. I broke up with her forever and afterwards I got a hate note. it said a lot of nasty things, including that I was as cold blooded as the draculuara doll I had given her for her birthday. after that she somewhat left me alone. at the end of 6th grade I broke up with rose because she went behind my back and asked out the boy I liked for me. I sat crying in a corner on the blacktop when this girl came up to me and asked me what was wrong. we instantly hit it off. her name was raven. she was my solid rock and in return I helped her be a little less shy. the next year I met this girl named bubbles. she was very talkative and let me forget about rose and sage somewhat. raven and bubble helped me get to where I am now. a little while ago bubbles go asked out by Justin, the person sage adores and she said yes. that of course made sage super angry so she did everything in her power to make them break up but it didn't work. now sage has no friends and I only feel the slightest bit sorry for her because I never forgive and I never forget.
I just helped raven get away from this crazy stalker, creighton. last week my friend violet tried to get raven to ask Creighton out for a laugh but I didn't let her. I couldn't my best friend do that.
I like to think I'm amity with anger issues. you know, like from divergent? i usually am peaceful but yesterday this guy Jake told me that me and Creighton would be a good couple. I threw a pencil at him and told him to go die in a hole. see what I mean?
sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't met sage. i probably will never know. I now refer to her as " that girl"
