11. Some Friendships Fall Apart, and it's Not Always a Bad Thing.
People change. And some people just suck. Not everyone is a good friend. And unfortunately, I found this out the hard way more than once. I wish people would come with signs attached to them reading, "I'll steal your boyfriend" or "I'll stab you in the back". Wouldn't life be so much easier?
I became friends with Nicole in 11th grade math class. We instantly clicked, and we had the same sense of humor, so we laughed through every class. One day, Nicole started talking about a girl in our class, Marissa, whom she knew I didn't like. Since I am not a confrontational person, I just steered clear of Marissa. Nicole would say how Marissa was fake and a liar, and I agreed, thinking our conversation was private.
A few weeks later, Marissa confronted me and said she heard I was saying things behind her back. Well, I was. But how could I tell her that Nicole said all the same things? I couldn't. It turned into a huge fight that was completely unnecessary. Turns out, Nicole enjoyed being two-faced and causing senseless drama. I learned a very important lesson the hard way. Thank you, Nicole. My friendship wiith Nicole promptly ended after that, and it was for the better.
This situation reflects the friendship of Finn and Puck. Once best friends, Puck betrayed Finn by hooking up with Quinn. They ended their friendship, and it was probably for the better. Who needs friends that bring them down? I don't.
