1st Day
Back from
Summer
Quick Glance
I look around
the cafeteria
And I see two
girls
I quickly turn
away making
sure Carly
doesn’t see
Same Place, New People
I looked up
I saw two
girls
I look up
and they
were sitting
right in
front of me
Same table
Amy
“Um, hi, I’m Amy.”
Me
“Hey! I am Lindsey and this is my best friend, Carly.”
Kayla
“Hey, I’m Kayla.”
Friends Change
Carly Me
Kayla & Amy
X?
Lies Eventually Hurt
“I am going to Paris!”
“Oh, Carly! That will be so
much fun!”
“Please promise
me, Lindsey, that you will
not hang out with them.”
“Of course not Carly!”
That was a lie.
Starting to Drift
“Do you guys all want to hang
out tomorrow after school?”
-Kayla
“That would be great!”
-Amy
“Please Lindsey!”
-Kayla & Amy
“Yeah, sure!”
-Me
Carly is going to
blow up.
It was so much fun.
Carly’s words are still going around in my head.
She is Back
“You
promised
Lindsey, you
said you
wouldn’t hang
out with
them.”
“But, Carly
I…”
“Just go
away. I don’t
want to hear
excuses.
Why did I
ever believe
you?”
Friends Don’t Last Forever
If one day you realize that we drifted
apart, it’s because you’ve pushed
me away.
Some friends stick with
you, some friends don’t.
Carly didn’t.
