I met this girl, lets call her Suzy, last year in school. We became really close friends. Then came summer and we kinda went our separate ways, I traveled, and she traveled. Then we found out we were in the some of the same classes together this year. On the first day of school, everything was fine... we hung out together and had fun. Then.... here comes the problem. Suzy has a best friend and she's known her until about kindergarten. Lets call her Kendra. Well Kendra and Suzy don't have any classes together, and they only see each other before school, sometimes in the hallways, and then after school.
Well my birthday was in October, and usually your friends decorate your locker when it's your birthday. Guess who forgot... SUZY!!! I reminded Suzy everyday that it was my birthday, and then I asked her if she could come to school early and decorate my locker, and she said... "oh no, I cant come to school early. My parents are working really early, so they never can bring me to school early"
I was really sad and upset on that day of my birthday. Then just a couple of days ago was Kendra's birthday. I found out that somebody decorated Kendra's locker and I asked her who she think did it. And of course she said Suzy, and then Suzy came and said it was her.
Oh My Gosh!
soooooo, to make a long question short, do you think my friendship with Suzy has gone down the drain? Do you think I should still be friends with Suzy? Why do you think Suzy has lost interest in me? Should I forget about her, and find another best friend?
THANKS SO MUCH EVERYBODY WHO READ THIS! YOU'RE A TRUE HERO.
