Trying To Be A Good Friend

February 12 2013

Sometimes friends try to help, but they are just worsening things. Can you relate? When I came to my locker to pack up, I saw Taylor in front of Ethan's locker. I stopped and stared at her. She noticed and nodded her head and smiled in a creepy way. I knew what she was going to do. When Ethan was done packing up, Taylor was going to call him mean, dumb, or a bad person because he broke up with me. I shook my head no with a worried expression. She did exactly as I predicted. When Ethan got up and left, Taylor said to him, "Bye big meanie." while smiling. I slapped my forehead. Every time when Taylor does this, I am thinking that it must be the reason that Ethan is avoiding me. It makes sense! Taylor is the kind of person that creeps people out and can tease people with a creepy but straight face. Ethan must be avoiding me because he doesn't want Taylor to bother him. I know that she is trying to be a good friend but she really needs to stop this. All I need her to do is to not speak to Ethan. That's all. If she can find out a way to get Ethan to start talking to me again and stop avoiding me, then I would love to hear it.
