I just moved to phoenix and was just about to start eight grade, I wasn’t a loud person I would much rather sit in the corner and keep to myself but it was a new place and new school and new people so I tried to be social I wanted to make an impression to my new classmates. I met a girl named Kelsey and we hung out every day on the weekends I would sleep over at her house she was my first friend there. Then this girl named Ashley moved to the school and all she did was bring trouble she was like a tornado. I tried to avoid her as much as I could I didn’t want any part with her I had seen her make girls cry because she either didn’t like them, they got in her way or they didn’t do what she wanted them to do. I tried not to have any connection to her. Every month she would pick a boy that she wanted to date for that month and she would after a while the boys started to catch on so no one would go out with her then this boy named Jake moved to our class and since he didn’t know about Ashley’s past with boys Ashley wanted him.
Me and Kelsey started to talk to him and he became part of our little group of friends Ashley didn’t like the idea of me and Kelsey talking to him. I brushed it off like it was nothing I didn’t bother her and she had nothing on me so I just left it half way through the year Jake asked me out and I said yes I’m not going to lie I was starting to have feelings for him so when he asked me out I said yes but I didn’t really think about might happen when I did. I told Kelsey about the moment after it happened but she didn’t seem to be that happy in fact she seemed a little mad at me.
She started to ignore me like I wasn’t even there, she didn’t acknowledge me in the hallways when we passed by each other. She was acting like she never knew me but she would still talk to Jake. Finally I had to ask why she wasn’t talking to me anymore. That when it happened I swear I thought I heard a cracking sound I don’t know if it was my heart or our friendship being broken to pieces in that one minute. She lashed at me she called me all these mean names she told me I was a backstabber because I was dating Jake.
