Blog #2: Confrontation

Okay, I know it's been awhile but I think it's time I tell you a story, so sit back relax and you might want to grab a snack–this might take a while. 

This year was my first year of being in public school and my first friend there was a girl named Alexis Lynch. Her and I had a lot in common–we liked drawing, wolves, art...etc. But this friendship didn't last a long time. So about 2 1/2 months ago I noticed that Alexis was being mean. I talked to my mom about this and she told to confront her about it. I didn't get a good chance to do this, but when i did get the chance this is what happened: I told her that I didn't want to be her friend if she was going to be mean and call people names. By this point she was very upset and walked away. She didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. 
My Healing Heart

She didn't come to school the next day. And then after that i had gotten sick and didn't get back to school until that next monday. When she saw me, she wasn't mad, in fact she pretended like nothing happened. this went on for the rest of the week. Until she asked me why I wasn't hanging out with her as much. I tried to confront her again, and her reaction was the same as before. After this I started sitting with some casual friends that are now my best friends. She became friends with another girl that had a similar personality.

Alexis never really talked to me once she realized I didn't want to be her friend anymore, and when she did it would be in either a snobby or yelling tone. When we passed each other in the hall, she would give the stink-eye. I would always try my hardest to either not say anything, and if I did try to make it nice. But it didn't always happen to be nice, and I regret a lot of what I said about her, even if it was true.

Alexis and I had two friends that sat with us at lunch, Matthew and Austin. They were in 5th grade, a grade under my grade, when I confronted Alexis. A couple of days After I had started sitting somewhere else, Austin came up to me and asked why I wasn't sitting with them any more. I simply told the truth and said I wasn't friends with Alexis anymore. He just said oh and walked away.

Austin must have told Alexis because she was very mad. It was Thursday, on Wednesdays and Thursdays, for some reason, we went to a different class before second elective, and I sat next to her in this class. The teacher was telling us how to find the average of mechanical advantage or something. When my teacher was done showing us, he told us to find the mechanical advantage of our Rube Goldberg machine we made a while ago. But, like most of the kids I'm guessing, I couldn't remember what the numbers were. So, instead I rewrote how to find the mechanical advantage and Alexis yells to me: "Your Numbers!". I just ignored her and kept doing what I was doing. She must have thought I heard Mr. Strickland wrong or something.

I think I may have gotten depressed because not only was I randomly crying about it at home but I also kinda just wanted to be left alone in memories. I had taken a test to see if I was depressed, I don't know how accurate it was but it said i was slightly depressed. I had been hurt because Alexis didn't want to be my friend anymore. And I don't know, maybe she was going through the same thing.

So, after three and a half months of putting up with stink eyes from Alexis, I finally decided to let it go. And I guess so did she. What I mean is Alexis was nice to me. Here I'll tell you what happened: Me and Alexis both came in late and when she saw me she casually said "Hi" I said "Hey" back. And I'm glad I know now that she has forgiven me. 

I hope you enjoyed this weeks blog! New blog (usually) every week!

Question of the Week: Which dog breed is better, german shepherd dog or golden retriever dog?
My Answer: I personally like both dogs, but having a dog that is part german shepherd makes the german shepherd my favorite breed of dog.
