NoJoMo day 6 challenge

Challenge: Write what you can remember about your first best friend.

My first best friend was a girl named Beth in the 2nd grade. We sat next to each other because our last names were always her then me in alphabetical order. I don’t know how we got to be such good friends but we did. We went through a lot together during grade school, her parents divorcing, my father beating me, our first boyfriends, we used to beat up boys together, we started drinking in 6th grade together. We were always together and sleeping over each others house. We learned the wingdings font and wrote notes to each other in it. We started shoplifting at 6th grade.

Everything changed once we got to high school. She dated a guy that got her name out there and she became popular and started hanging out with the preppy crowd. I fell behind and ended up being the 3rd wheel. We used to shoplift together but we got busted but me being not white, I was the one that got busted and she told her mother that it was all me and she had nothing to do with it even though she was the reason that I started and we had been doing it for years by then. I was pissed at her and stopped talking to her. She kept on hanging with the preppy drinking crowd and I hung out with different people. We lost touch totally after sophomore year and even when she was in my class I didn’t talk to her and she didn’t talk to me. I haven’t seen or heard from her since senior year and I don’t plan on it in the future.

High school changes people.
