I wrote to you before about my two friends with friend #2 being very clingy to Friend #1. Well, at the end of the year we take a special fun trip to Dorney Park, and we all had to pick groups out. Well, of course, in the middle of the class Friend #2 jumps up and squeals, "Ehmegod! I have to be with Friend #1! Okay? I call sitting with her on the bus!" and I just sat there in silence while my best friend, Friend #1, is smiling and talking with Friend #2. Last year when we went to Dorney Park, Friend #2 hadn't moved here yet so we had the best time ever riding the rides, eating lots of ice cream and candy, and playing the sideshow games, and laughing and giggling and altogether having the best time I've ever had in my entire life. Friend #2 thinks she's so funny and so hilarious, but she ends up making fun of people in the process, and Friend #1 has told me before she doesn't appreciate it, so she just smiles lightly and moves on to another topic. I'm truly afraid that I'm going to lose my Friend #1 and have absolutely no fun during this trip with them because of Friend #2's possessiveness and her constant chatter. Is there anything I can do to show Friend #1 that I really do care and that I will always be her best friend before she moves?

I just wonder, this friend #2 is so possesive, what is she going to do when friend #1 moves away. I'll bet she is going to latch on to you. Beware though, you may be lonely when friend #1 moves, but do you want to be with someone so possessive?
I also wonder why friend #1, has taken to her and doesn't see that she is possive. Because she certainly acts possesive.
If you want to show your friend that you will always be her best friend and will miss her when she moves, then any gesture from the heart will be good. Any sincere gesture. And if it comes from your heart, your friend should accept it with as much importance as you want to give it, or she is not a mature young lady and doesn't recognize when someone is being sincere. Can you plan a special sleep over, just for you and her, maybe even before the trip to the park. Maybe your friend will soon tire of the possessive #2 friend and go back to you.
I am sorry that this is happening to you. I know that this can be traumatic and no fun at all. BUt good news is that when young girls grow up, the learn to behave better and value their friendships. My friends and I would never do something like that to each other. I think that if you stay in touch with your friend by computer, when she moves away. You friendship will always be special.
I hope this helped. I hope you have a good day on your trip. Why don't you spend it with someone who wants to be with you. Hey how about a boy, is there a nice boy you can spend the day trip with? That should get them to envy you.
