>>17821518Well, I'll preface this by saying our fathers were friends. They had similar tastes, and it reflected in us. We both were into post punk, and loved computers. Back when we were kids, we used to play Minecraft on a server I hosted myself, for kicks. That was back when no game played like minecraft, when the idea was still new.
And one year, she started talking to this dude, real sketch kinda guy, but nice enough. I'm pretty sure he was doing acid, and he was really kind of like... effeminate... he just liked designer shit. Like clothes.
Anyway, I don't really think they dated, but they became close, and I think he wanted to date her, but she didn't let him. But she was never the same person. I lost a friend that year, it was odd. I still talk to some of the people who knew her, and they agreed the change was abrupt.
She immediately thought herself... better than us. I'm not sure what swelled her ego, but it was noticeable. She cut herself off from everyone, until I met her again, maybe... two years ago?
She was... different, you know? Like she remembered me, and I was the same person, but the person I was talking to was completely different. She hated my friends (her old friends) for a reason she couldn't describe. In fact, she just 'hated' everyone. Real teenage girl bullshit.
I just couldn't stand to be around her. It was weird too, because she would tell me, "Oh he/himr? She's/he is annoying/stupid/something-off-about-them" and then I would reply, "I've known them for years. They are great, actually."
Three damn times with three different people. And every time she would just agree with me, say she was probably wrong... and then do nothing? Like, she'd just continue to hate?
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if whatever happened to her didn't. Would she get invited to the parties I do? How could that have turned out for her?
It's rough losing a friend, but I don't even care anymore... it's odd.
