As Time Goes By

When people step into unfamiliar situations.. our first instinct is to want to make friends. To make a friend you look around, find one person that you notice has something in common with you, and you comment on that. Pretty soon you guys find you have a bunch of other superficial things in common and they become your friend. As you guys hang out more and learn more about each other.. you gradually meet their friends, they meet yours and you all begin to hang out. When they start inviting you places outside school you earn best friend status with him/her or whoever else is there. You go on their speed dial and your group does everything together. Everything is great. But then.. enter high school. Everything is different. You know high school really is the place where you discover who you are. Where you fit in this world. It separates you into tiny little groups and those groups dictate your friends and who you hang out with at school. However it shouldn't dictate your best friends. You should be best friends with them even if you don't hang out with them at all during brunch and lunch. But sometimes... and its almost inevitable, the groups you hang out with clash. When that happens one of two things happens. 1. you learn to tolerate... or 2. their group hates you and your group hates him/her. It's usually the 2nd one. That's just how high school is. And now you sit there and bag on each other and each other's friends and it's almost like your too different now to even hold a decent conversation. But it's one of those things... as time goes by, people change, people grow in good and bad ways, they stray away from the path, and people grow apart. It's just something that happens. It sucks... but it happens. I know because it's happening to me. And no matter how hard I try... I can't ever like the people she hangs out with, and she can't ever fit in with mine. Tolerance simply melts away and were both forced to stick up for our friends by insulting one another's.

She said "most of your friends are annoying."
I said, "most of your friends will be pregnant before I start driving"

That's what happens as time goes by.
