[The Writer] Alyssa's Best Friends

I remembered precisely when it ended.
July 25th, 2000.

That was the last night for the A'Team.
That's what we call ourselves :)

Alyssa had to fly back home for good the next morning.
Which meant, we will never be together again, unless on holidays.

I remembered us crying.
Knowing it would never be the same again.
That night I lost my best friends in the whole wide world.

Strangely it was Andrea, who, though physically close, was distant.
She got caught up with her friendships with men lately.
I am sure that is all she is concerned about.

Men.

I sort of missed the days when we could both hang out together.
Now, we hardly spend any quality time together.
It hurts me that she never attempted to invite me to her outings.
She claimed that I would not have gone anyway.

True.
I may not have gone because of my poor current financial
conditions but it would have been kind to ask though.

I know though, her real reason..
She does not want me to be part of her new clique.
Of which Michael is a part of.

You see, I am in love with Michael and so is Andrea.

Messy.
It's the case of falling in love with the same man.
It's just not in the spirit of our friendship for me to pursue it any further,
but I cannot help myself.
Michael has been persistent.

And how funny it seems, as Alyssa has rightly pointed out.

The tables have turned.
It is no longer the case of Andrea stealing people's boyfriends.
But me doing it to her.

I know I am not supposed to feel so smug about it.
But I am.

And you see, that is why I know.
This friendship is the none.
We would not hurt each other otherwise.

Ashley's Best Friends

These are the two people who used to be my best friends.

Here, we were at this costume party dressed as bloated cowgirls.

What a night that was! Just like many of the nights we used to have.

I have missed those nights when we could just hang out and be ourselves.

No rivalry at all.
But all good things have to end I guess.
