At Health class today there was a section in our Health books that read "Name a time when a friend let you down".
I immediately put my hand up and spoke quietly, holding back my tears "Mister, does it include a time that's actually happening now?"
My friend/classmate Harriet said "Is it me? Marian, I'm so sorry!" then she started to turn red and worried.
"You're not her friend! You're just in the same class as Marian!" My boy classmates exclaimed loudly.
"Hehe, of course it's not you, Harriet. You're still my loyal and fabulous friend though." I said trying to calm her down.
After all of the sort-of commotion, my teacher finally answered my answer. "Yes Marian. It can happen during now."
Everybody calmed down and started writing while my tears ran rapidly down my face onto my neck. I sniffed gently and covered my face so nobody ever suspected that I was crying, because I am the crybaby of the class. I'm never satisfied with my average life. It's annoying. I think it's got something to do with mood swings.
Anyway, at the end of the lesson Harriet asked me what was happening with me and my friend and who it was. The tears came back and I said "Samantha. Samantha Espinosa, my best friend. She left New Zealand and now I'm like a bundle of dirt. It wasn't her fault or my fault, it was nobody's fault. Her grandmother grew sick and her mum picked her up to live in Australia while her grandmother was healing herself. I miss her so much, but it still hurts me and affects my life severely."
It was interval and I sat with Christa and Yasmin, my new best friends. I felt much better throughout today and here I am now, listening to Marina and the Diamonds and sitting down writing and editing this post for MEDL.
Lots of you have felt the pain of losing a friend, wait, I mean, everybody has! And I am so glad to share that with you all Mariannettes. Bye for now!
