People Will Surprise You...

I've met too many people that I could never imagine knowing the way I do now. Well... meaning when I first met them I wouldn't have pictured things the way they are now.
Like this one girl, was totally vicious to me! She liked hated me when we were 8. At the beginning of this year I met her again (she had moved away) and I recognized her so I decided to say hi. Now we hang out a lot! She's pretty sweet, so she's easy to hang out with.

Then there was this popular girl who well I barely ever talked to (I wonder why...) and last semester in gym class we were talking and she says, "I heard you didn't like me." I wanted to say "I don't even know you!" I kind of thought that she was a "follow the grapevine type" other than that I barely have an opinion on her. But I am guilty of thinking that we were likely to be polar opposites. Then this semester I ended up grouped with her for a project. No big deal I guess. Except... no one other then the two of us were present on the day we had to work on the project in class. There wasn't a lot to do, so we ended up talking quite a bit. I figured she's okay. Then that question came up. She asked "So do you like anybody?" I never got why people other then like best/ really close friends would care. Either way I said yes. My first instinct is to respond truthfully, my second (and slower) reaction is to lie if I have to. I had no intention of telling her his name. But she guessed it. I never in a million years would have thought she would have guessed it right! She said his name and no jokes I fell off my chair! Funny thing is ... she likes him too! which I also would have never guessed

Hahahaha :(

There was this other girl who was very quiet. She barely talked to me even though we sat very close to each other the whole year in seventh grade. I used to try to talk to her once in a while. She was clearly a nice person. But she had this hollow look in her eyes sometimes... it really scared me. She was like empty... or not even seeing you there. Then she turned out to be the only person I knew in my first two classes last semester. Now we are best friends!

Of course on the sad side then my best friends from when I was eight might not be my best friends anymore. Well one of them certainly isn't. I have no idea about the other one... but I still want to be her friend. Ironically this one friend I met at a summer camp when I was new in town. Then before my first day of school I wished on a star that at school there would be someone I already knew... to make it easier. I couldn't believe it when I saw her. I was shocked and happy. Mostly happy of course. A little girl will take any miracle.

Ah well, the world just keeps on spinning.
