Friends sometimes

Well, you just pressed this chapter to see what’s poppin’ right? Yeah i am pretty sure you are curious to know what happened, hey? Where are my manners, my name is Nokukhanya, but people who know me call me Khanyo, Noku/Noks or Khanyo for short. I am 15 years of age and I love food, music, family and friends. That’s my problem…l like friends so much. I even got betrayed by my own friend/s.

So this is how it started:

My best friend- not just a friend. My bestie, my ride or die, my partner in crime, my sister from another mother. But that was all…..fake. Those words meant nothing to her, it got worse when she met another “friend” of hers. The girl became our friend and everything was smooth and we were inseparable. We were like glued to each other. We smiled, talked and even ate together at break time at school, it was nice until one day that girl took everything from me. She became jealous of me and my bestie for our very, very long friendship. Believe me when i say it was a long friendship.

The girl became friends with my bestie and they spent time together and i was lonely and found another friend and i hang up with her. My bestie teases us about our bodies (more like body shaming us). I felt bad because i thought at least something was going right in my freaking life. My bestie and the girl became friends with that one girl. My bestie replaced me with those girls? Wow, they poisoned her mind and she doesn’t see that.

One time, they gossiped about me, teases about me, made the half of the girls to gossip about me. I felt lonely and felt like the world could just open up and swallow me. I wish i could die, but then…i reminded myself that somethings are not meant to be together forever and/or nothing lasts forever. I promised myself that i wouldn’t have a best friend because i believe that all friends are fake and gonna hurt me at the end.

Piece of advice from me to you: People who you love, are the people who hurt you at the end, so be careful of your friends, or anyone for that matter.

Tell us: Have you ever been betrayed by a friend or somwone close to you? Tell us your story.

Yes. My bestie from grade 10. We were both newbies in that school. She started being friends with this other girl in grade 11. And this is the exact girl who told my bestie that she hates me since grade 10, I'm In grade 12 now. So they became friends, bought each other lunch, studied together. I just don't know if they're talking about me but what I know Is that they're body shaming people's noses, heads and faces. They think it's cool and it's not. Though my friend and I are still friends, things are not the same as before since she has another friend. Like they say three is a crowd.

I love your words @Tlhonolofatso Salomane 🥺.

No and that is because I don't let someone get that close to me . Even If you leave me in the end I would not even care. Trust is not something to just give away even if it is earned you can never be too sure
