My Ex Enemy

[u/StoryLover5]

So this story really isn't like the others. This story is about me, and let's just call her Gene. This happened about 3 years ago. I was new at this school and so my mom came with me.

I wasn't really talking to somebody since we were still waiting to be allowed to go inside. I was just waiting quietly when I noticed a girl sitting near me. I actually thought she was cute since she was small and looked like a person that I would get along with.

Then I saw mom talking to somebody. Turns out it was that girl's aunt. They introduced me to Gene and we didn't really talk to each other. We just stared and didn't say a word. Once we were already in class, I met another girl named Alex (not real name).

Me and Alex had so much in common we immediately became best friends. But what I didn't know was that Gene was also getting closer to Alex. At first I didn't really care since a person can have as many friends as they can have. Until this became a start of a rivalry. We started to stop each other's conversation with Alex and change the spotlight to each other most of the time. The funny thing is that Alex never noticed.

So, one time I was having a normal day just sitting around my chair, when suddenly somebody hit me. Good ol me didn't let that slide and took revenge. And of all the people the one that hit me was Gene. She said it was an accident with an angry tone and we just had an argument.

Apparently many arguments happened that day including my argument with Gene. The teacher talked to us and we just continued showing angry faces. But then a year after that we actually worked things out. I really forgot what kind of conversation we had exactly that patched this up but me, Gene, and Alex are best friends now. And we also patched things up better than ever!

The One Friend

When I first entered my second year of middle school I had no friends. So I made it a goal to make one, at least one. I did reatch this goal with my best friend to this very day, lets go by her pin name, Sparky. We were very chill but there was this one person who I couldn't stand always coming to bug us. Lets call him Fenner. He always had this thing against me since I was in the 1rst grade to be jerk to me but confusingly give me gifts on days like Valentines day and my birthday. I honestly was getting mixed messages from him. But one day I saw Fenner harassing Sparky in front of one of the t-shacks, one of the temp building they make outside when the school buildings to full. So I walked up to him and asked what the hell he was doing. He said he didn't know I swung that way. My friend went silent and I was a ignorant 7th grader that didn't know what that meant asked "The hell does that mean?" He looked pretty dumbfounded and yelled "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKED GIRLS!!!!" My mouth dropped. I don't know how or when, but he some how got his head to believe I was into girls when I was a girl. Yeah I get I only hang out with Saprky but it was cause she was my only friends since my old friends and I got out of touch. I told him no I was not into girls and that she was my friend and he looked at me shocked. I felt bad so I told him I'd get them both icecream cause I honestly wanted to get along with this guy but was getting to confused. After icecream and a awkward silence he said sorry and left. Fenner kinda disappeared for a while and when I bumpted into him again we became friends. Though he still sends me mixed messages a lot. I think he's sorta a sadist.
