Andrea.
YESSS!!! Andrea is finally HOME. I’ve missed her so much. She is one of my very best friends. I love her. She is almost like family to me. I first met her in 7th grade, by one of the most original ways. We were sitting next to eachother in our history class andfor some reason our teacher had our desks faced different directions. (NO idea why.) Anyway, Andrea came back from lunch with a Mountain Dew and she “accidently” (:D) knocked it over and spilled it all over my pants. She was really sorry about it and we started talking. Eventually, I started hanging out with her more often and we ended up becoming best friends. We had our own group and we were all really good friends. until she left.
Highschool started and everyone that was left in the group stopped talking to eachother. We all had different classes and meeting new people. Its actually really sad. I cant really call them my “friends” anymore. I kinda ran into Lindsay a couple days ago at a basketball game and we both looked at eachothe, but that was it. Later, I sent her a message on Myspace and told her that even though we havent talked since the summer, (last time Andrea was here) I still thought of the old times and even if we never spoke again, i hoped her life was great and that she was happy. She replied back and she agreed. We both wanted to say “Hi” to eachother, but something in our heads stopped us. I can remember thinking “Just wave at her! say hello! you guys used to be best friends!” and then it was like the angel/devil consious things on your shoulder, and the other one popped up and said “No no, you USED to be friends. you AREN’T anymore. Just get on with your life.” And I was actually a little happy and surprised that she thought the same thing.
On Tuesday, I was walking to class and I saw Samara. We used to be really good friends in middle school and when we didnt have classes together freshman year, we were really upset about it. But since that summer, we hadnt spoken to eachother. I was walking by her that day and we both looked at eachother, but this time I smiled and she smiled back. It wasn’t a “who the hell is this guy smiling at me?” smile either. It was a “hey i havent talked to you in a while smile. i’d talk to you right now, but i’m late for class.” kind of smile. I’m just really happy that none of them have actually forgotten me. I always thought they didnt like me and it made me think I wasnt a memorable person, but now, I feel much better and from now on i’m going to start saying hello and waving to my older friends. I’m going to try and repair those broken relationships.
[wow that got really off topic.]
Anyway, I’m really happy Andrea is Home and we are going to have so much fun. (hopefully.)
