HERE IS MORE: I wrote a little more after my first blog. I just wanted to give you guys the start of my essay before 8 so here is the rest of what i have so far...
4.
How can I have a friend that I love so much that doesn’t fit my true friend list?
…oh Chelsea…
5.
Hair drier blowing, sink running, the sound of brushing teeth. One of my best friends Nora and I were getting ready for bed when I found out…
“...so I was talking to Vartan and I brought you up and he was like ‘ugh.’ So I said why say that? And he was like ‘Chelsea told me that Melissa likes me and she told me like everything that Melissa texted her about me.’ So fyi be careful what you tell her…”
Trust.
gone
Confidence.
dissapeared
“…and she also told Alina (another one of my best friends) that she wants you to get with one of the guys at camp so you can have more in common with her on that level. Like she always asks you to go with her to hang out with the guys cause she doesn’t want to be the only girl by the guys because she would then look like a whore. So she was kind of manipulating you…”
Respect.
none
6.
Slowly my list of a true friend is cutting down.
7.
The Confrontation…over text:
C: …so I don’t know what’s going to happen with me and Mike…he is trying to break up with his girlfriend…just don’t tell Alina or anyone about this.
M: Of course I won’t, but when I tell you something in confidence don’t tell other people. I heard from someone who talked to Vartan that he thinks I’m like obsessed with him because you told him everything I told you in confidence when all I said was I was crushing on him.
C: Melissa I did that last year. I promise I won’t anymore…if someone liked me I would wanna know the good things they said about me so that why. I always keep the things you tell me in confience.
M: Ok just please don’t tell anyone what I tell you because I tell you stuff I don’t want others to know and I trust you with it all.
C: I promise I won’t anymore. I’ve changed a lot since last year. I take friendship very seriously now.
M: ok
Trust.

Hi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteThat´s really good!
It is a good idea and a good story! I love the new sections where you say
Trust.
Gone
Confidence
dissapeared
etc. that is so good!!!!!! =) Really!
I don´t understand why you say that she doesn´t fit in your true friend list. Isn´t she loyal and everything? I don´t understand the connection at this point.
And you use almost only direct speech. Maybe you can also just write something in present. Or you could qoute something from a letter she wrote or when you dreamed from her (I don´t know =)) I think it would be good to have more different sections.
Otherwise really good! =)
I hope that helps you!
