I really don't like high school drama. It seems to be the worst kind, to the point where it becomes petty.
Unfortunately, I am part of the drama this time. Some would say I am the entire reason. I disagree.
So, friends-list, I am actually a total bitch in real life. I am not the confused, rambling idiot who writes cryptic posts. This is why I have a journal.
Anyways, so my friend Gabs performed at the talent show a few weeks ago. I went to this talent show, hoping to be entertained and surrounded by friends, enjoying our last year in high school.
This was NOT the case. I ended up sitting next to a group of freshmen and some seniors who barely acknowledged my presence.
I was pissed off, bored and tired. The acts were terrible in general, except for Iain, who won 1st prize, but there was no way he could have lost against anyone else.
So there was a picture on Facebook of Gabs and Antonio doing a Jimi Hendrix tribute, which was alright, but I don't think they did him justice. I told Gabs this, and she flipped out. She started calling me out on things that had nothing to do with my initial comment about her performance. I honestly had no idea what to say to her after that, so I didn't leave a comment over the Thanksgiving break.
I get back to school, and she isn't talking to me. But she is talking to Linda about how much of a bitch I am. Linda told me that Gabs wants me to apologize to her, but I don't understand why she is making such a big deal. I gave Gabs some criticism, something she does to me every day, and I'm called out for it.
So all I have to do is go up to Gabs, tell her I'm sorry, and everything will be alright.
I probably will not do that. Mainly because I hate confrontation, and I'm chicken-shit. Also, I do not see what I did wrong. I gave my opinion, she didn't agree, let's move on. We argued about candidates during the election campaign, and it never got out of hand.
The problem is, the things she said about me are the reasons I will not apologize. I am stubborn, I am opinionated, and I am proud. Pointing these things out have not helped our situation.
Now she has got me wondering about my other friendships, because if all these things are true, then why do I have any friends at all? She's got me all confused and it's more of an incentive for me NOT to apologize.
Like I said, high school drama is terrible.
