well to start, i've had this best friend since 2nd grade or so and we would always talk to each other everyday and go everywhere with each other. since i'm now in high school, i never get to see her anymore because she's still in middle school (she's only a year younger). the part of this that kills me is that she lives four houses down from me and we don't even see a glimpse of each other. she never evens calls me either. we're too busy with homework and what not.
and believe it or not, when we do see each other every once in a while, it feels awkward to be around her. we just don't know what to say to each other anymore.
because i've been away from her for so long, my life just seems so empty. and i can't trust anybody but her, so it has been really hard to keep my feelings in, but i've managed.
Next school year, we'll be spending all the time in the world together because we're both in band and band is together a lot. it takes up so much time, there doesn't seem to be time for yourself (that's not a bad thing in this case) so we'll be around each other a lot.
my question is--is how can i keep myself from feeling so empty until the summer vacation?
(and just to let you know i'm straight. me and her are really, really close friends)
much thanx in advance. ^_^

And since you really haven't talked much, she may have interest in other things now. But who knowa, you maybe nice friends again once you are back in that same class.
