I met a girl in my freshman year of college with whom I developed an instant connection, which I thought would be forever. She became one of my best friends. We had some differences, sure, but our outstanding similarities outweighed all the rest. We did everything together: classes, homework, parties, shopping, work, going out, smoking (yeah, we had our bad moments), etc. However, that was all to change after just one year by one of the most annoying people that I’ve had the misfortune to meet: enter Miss Maggot, the pathetic loser who had nothing better to do but go after MY friend. What’s worse is that my so-called friend responded to Miss Maggot’s advancements. At this point, ladies and gentleman, I was going through some new and settling experiences. I changed my major from bio-molecular science (same major as Miss Maggot and my soon to be ex-best friend) to chemical and biological engineering to (now) business and technology management; I moved into the university dorms (where my BFF has been staying since our freshman year); I was juggling multiple jobs at the same time; and I got myself my first real boyfriend (I dated around in the past, but nothing serious happened until my sophomore year). According to her, I supposedly distanced myself from her when I started going out with my boyfriend…umm, hello? He’s the first guy who made a long-term commitment seem ideal to me. Of course, I was going to get to know him better so I know I wasn’t making a huge mistake. As my friend (who has plenty of experience, if you know what I mean), she should’ve understood me. Hell, all my other close friends understood and gave me my space. But this girl…oh, nooo…she had to have a best friend who was constantly on her ass! And who better to fill this quota than Miss Maggot herself! Why, she’s a regular friend stealer! She is sooo fake…calling everyone darling, honey, sugar, sweetie…YUCK! I swear…every time I saw her or heard her sugar-coated voice, I wanted to puke my guts out (preferably on her)! I tried to get my friend back by telling her my feelings (well, a nicer version anyway), but she took it the wrong way and stabbed me in the back claiming that I was never her friend and Miss Maggot was her truest friend! Excuuuse meee! I was the one who there for her when she had her diabetes attack! I was the one to do her homework because she was too dumb to do it! I was the one who comforted her when she lost her scholarship! I was the one who got her a good paying job at school even though she had no work-study! I was the one who fuck*** bummed cigarettes off of other people just so she wouldn’t have to buy a pack! I was ALWAYS there for her, but apparently, I was too blind to see the real her: a back-stabbing, conniving, horrid bitch that she is! Miss Maggot couldn’t even compare to this girl! It’s only been a few months since we stopped being friends, but the pain doesn’t get any easier…especially since we go to the same school! I used to be an eternal optimist…perhaps in the past, I might’ve believed that we could one day re-claim our lost friendship. But now, I’m a different person; I grew up! After everything we’ve been through, I can’t ever forgive this girl for her betrayal. It’ll always be hard, but I’ll live. Note: One good thing to come out of all this is that she inspired me to write this poem (I’m a writer, but I’ve had a major writer’s block for a while): BEST FRIEND is someone whom everyone LOVESThey think it’s a treasure heaven broughtPeople lean on their best friend, as you seeBut...are they best friends that people REALLY NEED?Are you sure best friend is the BEST? Don't be deceived if you don't want this quest. Quest of leaving, hurt, suffering and painBecause of those BITCHES playing this gamePhysically, they're like sweet angelsSaying sweet words that make you tangleBEWARE! It’s an angel in disguiseWaiting for the moment they will RISE. Behind the sweet angel is SatanThat loves to hurt and make lives fatalTell me, how can I forget the past?Because I trusted this friendship will last?I wish...we had never metMy heart is full of pain and anger. Oh mighty God, help me recoverPrevent this Satan, protect me foreverThose of you who have a best friendBe careful not to pick a FAKE friendFriendship is not based on TIME spentIt is based on HONESTY at the end...
