8. The Random Best Friend

I have a best friend. I hang out with my best friend, talk with my best friend, and can actually hold a sensible conversation with my best friend about cool stuff that I like to talk about. Okay, now meet the best friend from a lot Wattpad stories nowadays:

It seems that as soon as the female main character meets a new guy, the best friend is gone. Forgotten. Neglected. Replaced. What is she, that pair of socks with holes on both of the bottoms? Do you only turn to her when you've got nothing else? How dare you suddenly start spending all your time with that new guy and still call her your best friend? I mean, you only talk to her during that five minutes in between classes!

Oh, oh, and all the random best friend ever talks to you about is:

"Hey, hey, do you liiikee him? I know you liiiikkee him! Come on, I see the way you look at him! You like him, don't you? You're perfect for each other!!! OMG!!"

The next day:

"Sooo? Have you taallked to him yet? You tootally like him! Keep denying it all you want, but we all know you liiike him! Oops, sorry, gotta go, see you tomorrow!"

And the next day:

"OMG, did you see him pick up your books just now?!?!? He liiikes you too! He totally does! You're perfect for each other! Open your eyes, girl! K, well, talk to you later, bye!"

If that's all your best friend says to you all day, I don't know why you haven't bought soundproof earmuffs yet and changed your number and moved to another country. Seriously, though, best friends are super awesome people who give tons of support and make you laugh all the time. Best friends deserve an upgrade. Why are they always that random character who's there to tease the main character and squeal and jump up and down all the time? Make her do something other than talk about the way you look at him and how you and him are perfect for each other. I mean, is she CAPABLE of doing something else? If not, you gotta give her a brain. Like, for real. Make them do fun stuff together, like watch a movie! Yeah, why does the main character always watch a movie with the guy, anyways? What happened to the best friend?
