“I think I’m the happiest person in the world!”, said Bree. It was summer and she was camp with her best friends, and soon to be boyfriend, but all that would change. Bree was having some trouble… her ex-boyfriend had moved on, she was hurt but she didn’t want him to know that. Bree rushed into her next relationship due to jealousy, even though she didn’t want to admit that. The last day at camp she told James that she liked him, if she said it like that again she could probably fool both of us. Camp finally ended, but the fun lasted. Bree and her friends had a sleepover, they had a “Houseparty” with some of their other friends from camp. They all really enjoyed themselves, and overall had a great time, but that didn’t last. School started and everything changed, everyone said, “High-school really changes a person.”, but I never knew how true that statement was, until about one week in. James texted me and said, “Hey is something wrong with Bree.” I responded, “Not that I know of, but why are you asking? Is everything ok?” I knew that it wasn’t, Bree had been lying to him for more than 2 weeks, I mean I was covering for her but we were friends, I thought I had too. He said, “She won’t call me anymore, I’m lucky if she texts me, and when I see her in person she pushes me away and says, ‘I can’t be with you or I’ll get in trouble’ I don’t why she is doing this to me, I just want to be there for her.” I never realized how other people felt when stuff like that happened, I was never on that end of the table, but soon I would be on the same side of James. He asked me to text her on his behalf, and we were friends, so I did. She got mad me for doing it, she blocked me, and then had someone text me for her. I was called childish for calling her out on the lies, and I was called a bad friend, because if I was a good friend I would have never said anything like that to Bree. I was so mad. Right after that she cut me off to, she never spoke or texted me, not that she did it much before that anyway. Soon after that she goasted the rest of our friends, I hadn’t told them what happened yet, because I didn’t want to put them in the middle of it, but apparently that didn’t matter anymore. I told them all that had happened so far and I waited to see what happened next.

This was based on a true story, but I didn’t use the real peoples names. There is more to the story, but I’m not good at describing the emotions that I felt so it’s kinda dry, but I’m real life me and the real life Bree still aren’t friends, we talk the minimum amount possible. Me and the real life James are actually kinda close, after that we really helped each other through a lot, he is really good at giving advice. She still isn’t friends with pretty much everyone else who went to camp with us, so goasted everyone, except the people who encouraged her to lie about the situation. I know Bree is going through a lot with different things, but I’m trying to forgive her it’s hard but possible. And if you are going through anything like this remember things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out. One thing James always says is, “The world is a dark and nasty place, it will beat you to your knees if you let it, but it doesn’t matter how hard you punch, it matters how much you can get punch and get up and keep fighting.” Just keep fighting I’ve made it this far so you can too.
