Chapter 14 Bad Memories
Nichole. She was one of my classmates from my old school, knowing that one of them was friends with one of my current friends made my stomach rumble in pain. What she did wasn’t that bad if you look through her perspective but through mine it was the worst thing ever that might have not been the reason that I moved but its a pretty big reason I stoped socializing with most people. At such a young age it is traumatizing but I got through it somehow. In the middle of last year I met Nichole she was one of what you would call the nerds. She seemed like a very kind person and I wanted to get to know her more. I had just lost my best friend to a argument that we had and she ended up hating me. I was really lonely and in history they switched our seats and she ended up siting next to me so I thought that it would be easy to at least talk to her. We got into a conversation about just simple things the usual our daily routine, I finally felt like I had someone I could talk to about at least small things. I hadn't been able to really talk to anyone about my life struggles or my life benefits.
It all started well we were able to talk and hangout, but after some time she started to manipulate me and my decisions if I ever did something she didn’t like she got so mad, I had started to tell her about stopping and how she was acting towards me, after a while she became even worse she wanted me to act like her dress like her and even do things for her that had nothing to do with me. Her demands became even worse after some time, I tried to deny most of the things she put me to do but she didn’t accept no for an answer and me being a naive person I didn’t want to lose her as my friend so I did everything she asked up until one day...
That day started as usual I woke up early in the morning six am as usual I got my glass cup and got water I drank my water quickly and ran to the bathroom to wash my face and I saw a note on the mirror. “Don’t forget to go to school early performance auditions today! -Love Mom” WAIT WHAT!! That’s today?! With thousands of thoughts flowing through my head what time it was and what time I had to be there I checked my calendar and I had to be there in TEN MINUTES! I couldn’t believe it I hurried through the house leaving a note for my mom and running out of the house I had no ride so I had to run to school sprint even.
I got to the event when Nichole was “helping me out” by presenting my presentation saying it was her own. I was devastated to hear that she was using my work I stood up and talked to the director about it he said that he believed her that it was her presentation but I tried to show him it was really mine and when I did I was the one that got into trouble. His reasoning was that since I was late I must have tried to change it to be mine. I got expelled for something that I didn’t do plagiarizing work, she had planned it all out. A couple weeks before we had linked out emails together and she had access to my calendar alarms and all of my emails. She had changed my alarm from earlier to a later time to make me be late and make it seem like I was the one that copied her work she had even asked the teacher for help on one slide to make it seem like she was working and she still deleted that slide and used mine. I had lost all trust and all hope in having a friend I could trust. She then contacted me later that afternoon to see if I would still listen to her but she didn’t know that I had figured out her plan and I wouldn’t take orders from her again.
She asked me if I could get her a Starbucks coffee that after her hard work and the accusation I made towards her it would be the least a “best-friend” would do. The moment I got that I felt so betrayed and amazed she had the confidence to ask me of this after doing such thing to me. I told her yes to meet me in a small park by the school. I soon saw her and she asked with curious eyes where her drink was and I had to finally stand up for myself I had to, this was going to be one of the only times I ave a reason to stand up for myself, but I didn’t. Instead all I said was you don't deserve it and I walked away slowly with my head down. She came running towards me and she still wasn’t convinced so she pulled my head up and slapped me with all her might she didn’t like how I was acting and she wanted to be more obedient and understanding of her situation and how much she had to do. I couldn’t hold it in anymore I turned to her and I looked straight in the eye.
