I had a close friend. Sort of. At least I thought she was. I mean, she's told me so many things that I don't think she's told very many other people. And it made me feel special. Like we good friends. And I finally had someone I could confide in. Someone I could trust. And I almost did. I was slowly trusting her.
But today, she ruined it.
The girl was friends with pretty much everybody. Which unfortunately meant my tormentors too. But I thought that didn't matter. Because she was my friend. But then I came across something on her snapchat.
"My main friends at school are (insert names of my bullies here)"
It felt like my whole world crumbled around me. Because I was starting to think that if she was such good friends with them. Even better friends than she was with me, then would she join them? If I told her something even remotely personal, would she go blab to them about it? My trust for her slowly disappeared until there was nothing left. Because I still had the feeling in the back of my head that one day, she's gonna turn out like one of them. And I can't get rid of it.
I didn't even have the energy to pretend to smile at her.
