Hey, I am 18 years old, and I graduated when I was 17 years old. Since I been out of school, I miss my friends a lot. I have been trying to find all of my friends from elementary to high school. Some of them I have seen in shopping stores, and hoping to see some of them around the way. I have this one friend. Well at the point of time we were real close. After a while, her and boyfriend became best friends, and I wasn't in the picture anymore.

I really wasn't mad because my boyfriend was cool with her because before him and I was together all of us were real cool friends. We were the group that were making the honor roll basically every six weeks, but things started changing after my boyfriend and I started dating. After a year or so, my boyfriend broke up with me because he said that we were starting to grow apart. When he told me that I was thinking to myself that if he didn't spend all his time with my friend we would have been closer.

I was so angry that I explained what happened to my other friend, which was also cool with my boyfriend and the friend that he was always with. Then one day in class the friend who always hung around my boyfriend had dared me to stick her with the pin I had in my hand. so I did, and when I did it I told my other friend about it, and she was laughing and saying she was glad I did that because she was mad at the other friend too because the girl stayed around her ex too.

So it got back to the other friend that we was talking about her. Well we suppose to been talking behind her back, but what I told my friend is what I told her and my ex boyfriend. So I really wasn't talking about her behind her back. People at my school like to start rumors. So every since that happened rumors were getting around saying that my other friend and I didn't like the girl who stayed around our XS, and that we wanted to fight her, but all those rumors were lies. After all of that we were never just all that cool anymore.

I know i got completely off the subject,but I am making a point because now I am trying to make things right with them. I still talk to my ex has a friend even though he has a girlfriend, but not the girl who hung around him a lot. Speaking of her, I found her my space page and requested her as a friend. She approved me as her friend, and now we send each other messages on my-space. She even gave me her number.
The girl who i told what happened between my boyfriend and I are still cool. Our friendship was never broke up. She is also now cool with the girl who hung around my boyfriend at the time, even though the girl and her ex is dating. Everyone is trying to make things right because everyone needs each other in some type of way.
I told myself to let go of the past and come to the future without any grudge because life is too precious and short for that. Since I got that out the way maybe I could find the rest of my old friends and make up with the friends that I had a dispute with.
