Okay, so I have been friends with
for a over three years now. I thought we were close. Almost sisters. Why else would I write an entire poem just for her?! Anyways, a few days back, I went to her page and saw that she had put my icon on one of her journals. She didn't put it under "family," where the rest of the people she hung out with were. It was under "people who remember me". Do you think I have the right to be upset, if I tried to get into that little "circle of friends" for the longest time, and if I thought we were closer than that?
Yes no and a reason, that's all I ask to those who think I worth a penny.
Oh!
And I wrote this note to Alex, finally deciding I couldn't keep my feelings under the rug anymore.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Alex,
Okay, first off, Anwe told me to be frank with you about something you did that hurt my feelings. I've kept it inside long enough; it's time to lay the cards on the table.
Ever since we met, I felt like we were close. You were always there for me, and I was always there for you. You always gave me strength, and I always had a good joke for you. But that whole time, there was a black mist surrounding our relationship, apparently only one that I could see.
I really tried to be a part of the group that you, Anwe, Rae, Tranq, and Priestess formed. I really did. But, even though you guys never said anything to me, I figured out that you really didn't want any new faces in your group. I tried to get in, tried to be part of it all, resorted to changing me to try to get you guys to accept me into your circle. I drew pictures of you guys to try to show that I wanted to be friends. I wrote poems! But nothing. I was locked out.
I wrote a poem called THE OUTSIDER, trying to tell you guys how I felt.
But what really hurt is when you put that they were all your "family" and I wasn't. That just plain stabbed me. Was it Rae who held you while you were crying over not finishing the physics final? Was it Anwe who listened to you complain about your mother, then assure you everything would be all right? Was it Priestess who always tried to have a smile for you? Apparently.
I never forgot the time you helped me feel better in Physics. I still remember it, as I am sitting here typing this. You are a sweet girl, Alex. A talented writer. A wonderful person. And yet, you can be a monster if you want you. It doesn't take much effort, now, does it? To hurt someone deeply? You probably didn't mean to hurt me. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt.
As to your request to use me for a character (I doubt you still will want to have anything to do with me after the above, but still), I don't mind. If that's the only way you and the others will accept me. To erase my flaws and carve me in tree pulp.
I used to call you Dragon-lady and Genius. I hope all is well. I suppose we are still friends, even if my heart is broken. So yes, I wish the best for you. I did recieve your card from Anwe. She's the only one who still looks at me when I say hello. Rae and Tranq pretend I don't exist. I know they will all be mad once you tell them what I said; oh well. I was never a social butterfly to begin with.
I am in AP English with Sandoz, and she and I don't get along so well. Or, I don't feel we do. I can't speak for her. It's looking like I will be going to Drake. I hope you guys don't have to move again.
Signed,
Ashley

D'you think I was too harsh? Becuase that's how I felt. Like someone had stabbed me right through the heart.
