A time where I was betrayed, was not too long ago. It was summer vacation of last year. I met Stacey when I was in 7th grade, and she was in 8th. The summer going into my 8th grade year was our first summer, where we really go to know each other as friends. We didn't know each other until my friend Jessica introduced us. We were best friends for about two years, so we weren't friends for the longest time. We spent so much time together, because we were best friends, and because she basically lived down the street from me. Since it was summer, we were always sleeping over at each others houses, and hanging out all the time. It wasn't long that she started to invite me over, when her other friends or cousins were over and ignoring me. I think that it was because we were hanging out to much and needed a break.
The next school year started, she had started high school,and I was still in 8th grade. At the school that we were attending the high school students and the middle school students had to be separated for lunch. We got the break that we needed and started hanging out again for the summer. I was going into 9th grade and she was going into10th grade. We were not going to the same school for the following year, and I think that she got mad at me for not wanting to go to Rio Grande with her. I wanted to go to Atrisco Heritage Academy. When I finally started my freshmen year I wasn't into any clubs yet and I was still hanging out with my same friends from the year before, so Stacey and I would hang out on the weekends. Freshmen year is the year that everything happened and where we soon stopped being friends.
Freshmen year I slowly stopped hanging out with my old friends and got some new ones. I still hung out with my old friends sometimes but all of us got new friends and started with new adventures in our life. About a couple months into the new year we moved into the new building, which everyone now knows as the AHA building. Soon after moving into the building is the time where I all got new friends and I started hanging out with Monique, and Stephanie. Stacey started to get mad at me because I made new friends and she wanted her to be my only friend. I told her that she wasn't going to be my only friend, and she denied it. Stacey lived next door to Stephanie's boyfriends house, and would tell him things like, "Stephanie's cheating on you", but then go around and tell Stephanie and I that he was cheating on her.
Everything basically started because Stephanie started going out with Andy, and Stacey started to get jealous. All through Freshmen year there was this tension that had been building up between my friends and Stacey. Stacey is the kind of person who wants EVERYTHING to go her way, and if it isn't her way then she's mad. Since Stacey started rumors about Stephanie, she started rumors about Monique and I. Then one night when I was spending the night at one of my other friends house, Miranda, Andy called me and texting me, that I was such a bad friend to Stephanie. He then started to threaten me that he was going to make sure that Stephanie and I weren't friends anymore. I got so mad, and decided to call Stacey to tell her all that happened. She was my best friend, so I thought. I had told her everything through a text message, and she then soon replied. She had told me that she didn't care anymore about what had happened, between my friends and Andy. Stacey told me that he had called her. saying that I had started rumors about Stacey. I felt so betrayed because she was supposed to be my best friend ,but she had believed some guy that we weren't even friends with anymore. After that had happened I got mad at Stephanie and told her that I didn't want to be friends with her anymore, only because I didn't want to deal with her boyfriend anymore. I had lost a best friend because of a guy that didn't like me. I had also lost a good friend because she didn't know who to believe, so she had to betray a "best friend", to find out the truth. Ever since that had happened, and Stacey and I had stopped being friends, Stephanie and I started talking again. Stacey had said sorry to be after everything she did, but I didn't want to forgive her. only because she made me almost lose my true best friends.
I think that ending Stacey and my friendship was for the best because, I don't have as much drama in my life, and Monique, Stephanie, and I are not fighting anymore.I believe that I need to chose my friends more carefully, because after Stacey, there was another person who had betrayed me, and who still is. I have had some other experiences with betrayal. When my sophomore year started here at Atrisco, I made a new friend, and then soon was their "best friend", but now I know that you can NOT trust everyone because that person is most likely to be the one talking behind your back, when you less expect it.. Having that betrayed feeling, is the worst feeling that there is. When I was betrayed be someone who was close to me was a horrible feeling. I never thought that a friend would do that to me, especially one of my best friends. Sometimes I wish that I would have never became friends with her because she took away from my other friends. She would make me feel bad that I would "ditch" her to hang out with my other friends. I never thought that she would do that to me, but now I know that you can not always trust that person closest to you. Chose your friends carefully, and don't always trust the person, who you THINK is truthful!
