A broken friendship which broke my heart…

It was a typical Friday, and my friends and I decided to stay back in school, to choose the secondary school we would go to. So, after school, we went to the canteen and got down to business, discussing on our future school. It was a hard decision and squabbles began to break out - small ones. I was seriously getting pissed off. They kept insisting I would do so well for PSLE and that they would do very badly so we would not be able to go to the same secondary school, I know they were merely joking, but I really didn’t feel like wasting time on making jokes like that. I was getting tired of their jokes, I admit I was childish, but I still stood up and stomped off angrily.

I know they were pissed with me for being so childish and they ignored me after that, never bothering to care about how I felt. When I returned, they both merely sat there reading manga looking as if nothing had happened. I could not stand the pain anymore; I got up and said really harsh words and left. I couldn’t bear it anymore. On my way home I cried I really cried. I know I was never what they would call the ‘perfect friend’, I always felt left out when in their company. They would always do things together, never bothering to include me. The pain in my heart was unbearable. They always laughed at me when I faced problems, making me seem like a fool.

When I returned home, I came across this song: BoulevardI of Broken Dreams
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes...

At that very moment, I felt very lonely. All happy thoughts seemed to have evaporated. And the last few day of school? We spent it hating each other…
Even though our quarrels have been forgiven, the scars will be present in my heart to make sure my loneliness is not forgotten…
