the phone rings.
"hello?"
i heard laughter on the other end, and one laugh in particular, i recognized. no one said anything, i don't think they knew i had answered, and i kept hearing that laugh so after a bit i hung up. then i walked downstairs to go on msn, and i saw that they were all at her house having an elementary school reunion. they had probably called to invite me right? yep. and suddenly i was really glad i hung up the phone. i don't know why, but i wanna keep the past...well...past. mostly in grade 8, i was someone totally different than who i am now. and honestly, when i look back, i think to myself "how could i have dressed that way, done those things?" i did alot of things i regret now. if i could go back and change everything, however, i wouldn't, because i made mistakes, but i learned from them. each and every one of them. and if i didn't make them, then i would be without the knowledge of why lying to your parents all the time is bad, or why dressing like a slut isn't necessary.
two of my old friends came over during the summer and noticed i had no pictures of them in my room anymore.
"mel, how can you not have pictures of us ANYWHERE in your room?! we made you who you are."
the reason why i hung up so quickly, and didn't ask them if i could go hang out with them was because they represent the OLD melanie. i hate her. i've changed, and i love myself now. the people i've met in high school represent the NEW me. they are the people who make me who i am. i'm fucking happy i met them.
thank you to everyone i've met in the past two years for making me who i am. ily all ♥.
