Friends

I would have called Anthony my best friend if you asked. I don't think he or anybody knows how much I liked hanging out with him, or how much I went out of my way to help him out. One down

jason, i still love you. i hope that everything you put in the past tense doesn't stay that way, because you feel like you're my brother, too. that having been said, it's just that i never expected this from you or josh, because you're of my two closest friends, and i thought i knew how you guys would react better than that. i never expected it. at all. yes, they cheated, but basically everyone has in the magnet program. they were messing around, it's not like they had the answers to the quiz--hell, they still didn't know exactly what to do for a few of the problems. i know i'm probably repeating what you've already heard, but if you really had a problem with what they were doing, you could have pulled them aside while they were doing it and told them you weren't cool with it, and if they didn't stop you were going to report them. you didn't even give them a chance, b/c i know if you or josh had done that, they would have stopped. neither of you had ever stated your apparently strong feelings on cheating ever before (at least not that i had heard), so nobody thought this would happen. and then you two act like nothing even happened--you just talk normally with doan, jon, and shane, like you're still best friends. and i know if cory or jessie or any other of my close friends had done that to me, it would take me awhile to get over what i would consider to be a betrayal to our friendship. and such a huge betrayal with huge possible repercussions--kicked out of magnet program, out of nhs, having teachers looking at them differently, and overall just putting so much stress on them at this time when neither of them need it and i don't think deserve it. and i think it would make sense that most of people who know people on both sides would side with doan and co. because we felt like they were the ones hurt. yes cheating is wrong. have i done it? yes. nothing huge, but on hw and stuff, sure. i know they didn't mean anything by it, and i've heard so much on cheaing from brian aiken and justin mendoza, etc. and i know that what they did was so different that it doesn't make me think less of them at all. they didn't cheat to get where they are in their school career, and to have one little silly event cause so much crap for them and the fact that it wasby their friends, just makes me upset. i thought maybe brian or dan ratted them out at first, but i never, ever would have guessed that it had been 2 people in our little "circle." i don't feel that friends do that to each other. friends come before everything to me, and i don't think that true friends should ever go behind someone's back like that, no matter what the circumstances. friends should be loyal, and if they really have a problem, they should discuss it with them first, not anyone else. that's pretty much everything i'm feeling right now, i hope it all turns out well because i hate drama, especially in senior year, and i want my friends to get along. but i don't know what will happen.
