Question Posted Wednesday February 9 2005, 8:21 pm
(14/f) Hey. I'm having lots of problems with one of my friends at school. Ever since she had joined the school play about a month ago, things have been going downhill. Her and I, including 3 others, were such a close group of friends. We sat together at lunch every day and talked about everything. Get where I'm coming from? I was totally happy with school and it was the only place I could go to get away from it all.
I thought I would do the right thing and not say anything about the new part of her life and let it just blow over and everything would go back to normal. The play's been over for awhile, but even still she's been paying more attention to everyone that was in that little play of hers than to any of us, and I feel its primarily us two that are drifting apart the most. Every conversation seems to wander to how the play was "so fun" and how she misses it. Me and the others just feel like we're horrible friends and we aren't good enough.
She's a member of NJHS (a group that meets after school and during lunch sometimes) and today she had a meeting. She came back in about half way through the lunch hour, put her backpack down where we were sitting, and just walked off and talked to her acting pals. I was really hurt and I felt like I was gonna cry.
I've tried confronting her about it and she just thinks we're being protective. I'm sick of them planning things right in front of our faces and I just want my old Taylor back!! Please please please, give me some help. I'm gonna die without her!

Maybe you guys should think about include her and her new friends in a gigantic sleep over. She probably doesn't even realize she's doing it. Maybe you guys need a new hobby to talk about when you do get her attention. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
