and
I'm willing to respect that. If you didn't want me
around, all you needed to do was say something... I knew, your
friends knew, we all knew. It was "awkward and
confusing," as I quote you, about the fact that I just
kept trying and trying to break into your
tight little circle of friends. You've known them forever,
and you don't want anyone new joining you... or at least
not me. I mean, I understand it's not against me
personally, you don't hate me... but you're
very selective about letting new people join your group, and I
wasn't selected. I kept
telling you, "If you don't want me here, just
say something and I'll leave." But for
whatever reason, it was too hard for you to say anything. Maybe
it's because you were trying to be nice. And I completely
understand that. I'm a nice person, myself - I don't
like to say anything mean about anyone, and I don't believe
there's ever a reason to hate another person. But at the
same time, I like it when people are up front about what they
want. Not rude about it, but they find a nice way of saying
what needs to be said... as opposed to not saying anything at
all. The rumors have gone
around the school many times, or at least to the people who
know both of us, that I'm basically some crazy girl who likes
you and follows you and your friends around like some pathetic
person who has better things to do, but follows you anyway
because she has hope that maybe, just maybe, you'll want
her too. It
wasn't said exactly like that, but that's the way I
look at it. However, you've crushed that hope. Of course,
I'm not THAT pathetic as to not have bigger hopes. It's
not like I based my entire existence on you. I'm not an
idiot. But I say and do stupid things sometimes. We all do.
Meanwhile, you don't like me as more than a friend. You
don't even like me as a friend. It's pretty ironic how long I kept
trying to get to you, when I knew you didn't care, and that
you didn't want me around you. Why should I waste my time
with someone who doesn't care, when I have tons of people
that DO care? I have my friends, and you have
yours. Speaking of your friends... I have nothing against them,
or against you. But... sometimes I wonder, if they're
influencing you? As in... if they weren't around, would you
like me back? Are you scared of what your friends
think? Do you secretly like me, but since
you know they wouldn't approve... you hide it? And you
can't stand having me around because it just hurts you too
much? I strongly doubt any of that is true. But
it's still a thought. Not one I'm betting on, but
it's still an idea. I tried my hardest not to be clingy.
It's hard though, because you're always with your
friends. Always. I've told you many times that I
don't care if it hurts my feelings, I want to know the
truth. But still, you evade almost everything I try to ask. I
still don't take it personally. You're just not open to
making new friends right now. You've had the same group for
years, and you want to keep it that way. I understand that. I
respect that. It's just... sometimes I wish things were
different, you know? There's lots of things that could be
going through your head. I could spend forever making up
theories, but it's unlikely that I'll ever know the
entire truth. Either way, I believe that everything happens for a
reason, and I'm holding on to that belief.
If you ever
change your mind about things, just ask me, and I'll be
willing to be your friend... or not. Who knows where I'll
be by that point? If it ever gets to that point, that is.
Chances are, that if it DOES ever get to that point, I'll
be long gone. I'll have moved on to other things. The world
may be small, but there's still a lot of it that I
haven't yet seen; so much more for me to discover. Why
limit it to the tiny little corner that you and your friends
inhabit? But just letting you know, it's your loss if you
don't want me to be there with you, and it's your
choice, and if you don't want me around,
so be
it.
Remake of old quote -

with a few edits.
It's actually quite... amazing? how accurate it still
remains to the situation it was originally written about.
It's as if little has changed or truly improved since then.
