Hey, I’m so sorry to bother you at such an odd hour. I really need to talk to you. I’m not interrupting anything important am I?
... Oh aha. Well I can call you later, if you want?
... Okay well there’s this girl that I used hang on let me start from the very beginning. In year 9 I became really good friends with these 3 girls called Sarah, Kath and Taylor. It was just the 4 of us and so we became really good friends. After a while Taylor and Sarah started having fights and I felt like I was constantly being thrown back and forth like they were playing a game of bitchyness tennis and I was the ball. One day I would be friends with Taylor and then Sarah would be mad at me and the next day I would be friends with Sarah and Taylor would be mad at me.
... Yeh, it was a bit. But I guess there’s nothing you can do about it. Anyway, they kind of grew out of that and then I had a massive fight with Sarah a few days before she went to Marshmead.
... It’s like an eight weeklong camp and you live in a house of 7 other girl and you learn how to live environmentally friendly and cook and pretty much fend for yourselves for 8 weeks.
... It was. I really enjoyed it.
... Oh yeh the fight was about, well I don’t really know. I guess I just got really stressed about 2 of my closest friends going away and one of which has always been there to look after me. So I guess I was worried that they’d come back and not wanna be friends with me anymore and I’d be left there alone to find new friends. But then Sarah and Taylor went away and things I guess where fine. It was just me and Kath. We’d made some new friends while we were at marshmead and decided to go sit with them. Bell was Kath’s room mate and Rowdy was mine. It was then the 4 of us for the rest of the term. Then Taylor and Sarah came back and it was summer holidays. I came up and met you and didn’t really talk to them much.
... I’m really sorry about that. I didn’t mean to. Now what was I saying? Oh that’s right. We got back to school and Sarah and Taylor came to hang out with me, Kath, Bell and Rowdy. Everything totally changed. It was kind of like Sarah fitted in straight away and totally stole my friends and it was in a way a bit wait not a lot frustrating. I eventually got over that so it was alright.
.....pfft shut up. I did not get jealous. You got jealous. AHAH funny thing is you actually did but lets not talk about that now. Then I just sorta learnt to accept that she was going to continue being friends with my friends. Trying to organise my friend Bell’s birthday party made big problems. Like I know that you’re never going to be able to do something when everyone is available at the same time but we wanted to try.
... Yeh look it is relevant cause otherwise you won’t understand the rest of the story. Okay so shut up and I’ll keep going. Now I can’t remember what I was saying. Good one. Oh yeh that’s right. So I got really pissed off at her because I thought she was trying to make it so I couldn’t be a part of Bell’s birthday which was really annoying and so I got cranky at her then didn’t talk to her for ages. The whole group was really paying for it too. Because she’d come sit with us and be all sad and upset, she wouldn’t say anything and she’d just sit there. When we asked her what was wrong she’d say “Oh, nothing. I’m just tired.” Yeh, well that was bull. Clearly there was something wrong and she just wanted us to feel sorry for her.
... Would you feel sorry for me if I just sat there and made it hard for you to figure out what was the matter? Yeh I didn’t think so. Eventually we got sick of it and stopped asking her and she’d just walk away, or not even come and sit with us. Her odd behaviour stopped for a while. I still wasn’t talking to her but she came and sat with us and started joining in conversation. It was right after Taylor had gotten back from something she went on. Then the other day we were sitting in the shade and cause it was heaps hot and she was lying in the sun, sunbaking. Well I told her that her dress was too short and I could see her undies.
... Yeh I bet you would stare at her. Umm and she just turns around and says “your point?” my other friend Kath goes “Meaning your dress is too short.” She just turned around and put her Ipod in. So Taylor signs to me “do you give me permission to throw these pebbles at her.” I said “Yeh but you gotta ask the others first” so she did.
... Of course Taylor threw the stones at her. She lifts up her head and snaps at us “That totally wasn’t funny” and walks off. The next day she was sitting with us and we were throwing pebbles again but not at her and she came over a puts a handful down Bell’s dress. It was almost like whatever I do is fine but when you do it to me “Imma eat ya face off.” Anyway, I’m really sorry to disturb you. But I needed to off load on to someone and your pretty much the only one that would listen.
... I’ll see you in summer.
... Yeh. Love you too.

It was probably a moment I will remember forever. Just standing there looking at him thinking. "This is the sort of person you remember for the rest of your life." I wonder what it would be like to be his friend. Do his friends see the same passion that i do?
