Wonderful FriendA Story by Collette PaigeDo you see her? That girl there getting bullied? She used to be your friend...until your other "friend" told you she was lame, and you would never get in the "in" crowd if you hung out with her.
Everyday you see her sitting there playing some weird game, like Pokemon, or maybe even Yu-gi-oh, and you wonder doesn't she want friends? Why does she do such nerdy, dorky and uncool things? But secretly, you wish you could be her. No care in the world about what other people think...always yourself, allowedto do what you want.
Instead, the person who convinced you to drop that girl as a friend has made you do whatever she wants you do. She makes you wear things you hate, like dresses and skirts. She tells you that no matter what happens, you guys will be the coolest people at school...
But you know you will NOT be yourself in any way.
And you know somewhere in you that if you had stayed with that "dorky" and "uncool" girl...that your life would change for the better.
So you walk over to her, about to ask her if you can be your friend, and knowing she's sure to say "no. Never." after all you did to her...
You stand in front of her, inhaling, but she speaks before you can say a word.
"Want to sit and play Yu-gi-Oh with me?" she asks. Surely she must be making a mockery of you! She can't pretend that you never said the things you did...but you smile, sit beside her and nod happily.
"I would love to." you say, grabbing a Yu-Gi-Oh deck with you well manicured hand...a remnant of what you once were.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Many hours later, school is over and you are walking home with her. She stops, and you stop as well. "Problem?" you ask, confused on what it happening. She stared bluntly at you...and you understand now. She's going to tell you off when no one's around... "I forgive you." she says, before she continues walking. You stare for a while...what a wonderful person - "you coming?" she hollers.
What a wonderful friend. © 2011 Collette PaigeAuthor's Note
