Friend or Foe?

By Lia

Even though friendship day is a long ways off, I bet we are all thinking about what we're going to do with our friends, what picture we're going to post on social media and the caption, possibly even making plans with your friends to celebrate your friendship. It all sounds really great right?

Wrong.

This Friendship Day, I have had enough with friends. That's right. Sweet Pea Lia has been scorned and is out for blood. You're probably thinking about what could have possibly made me the Friendship Day Grinch, well, I'll give you a hint, it has to do with one of my friends. If you're still trying to come up with a possible story line, create no more because I am about to reveal the dirty details of a woman scorned.

It was the day after the 4th of July celebrations last year when the sad news was relayed to me by my sister: her friend, we'll call her Jenna, called her to tell her that the night before she overheard my *former* best friend, we'll call her Lana, talking not so good about your Sweet Pea Lia. Devastating, I know. What type of friend does that? Clearly, she's no friend, not anymore. It took me a couple of days to digest what happened and I am still in shock many months later. It comes as no surprise, though, since Lana was always the type of girl to talk not so great to me about her other friends. I should have seen it but she was too much of a great friend for me to actually believe that it could happen to me.

What can you all take from this? Trust no one. Trust your parents, maybe your siblings, hell, maybe some random person on the internet. Don't trust your friends from school. They will try to bring you down because you are an amazing person and they clearly want to bring you down so they could look better than you.

Your favorite scorned ranter and raver,
Lia
