Journal-
Sharon* just called. She said she had been thinking about what I said- how
I'm so unpopular and stuff. Is she a sweetheart or what? She said she
thought it might help if we spent more time together. I think it would
help, come to think of it. Sharon has been every cause of misery for me-
yet is the best friend I've ever had. All friends fight, right? When I'm
with Sharon, I can be myself. She always makes eveything okay. She taught
me how to stand up for myslef, she taught me that I'm great like I am. I'm
also a lot like her. We pretty much grew up togther. We share the same
interests- we think a lot alike. We're not exactly alike...no two people
are. I must admit, over the years I've gotton jealous of other people
Sharon seemed to favor, most of all ****** *******. Lord, she seems to
dominate Sharon. Worst of all, I feel that Sharon is always comparing me to
******. Sometimes I feel that ****** is a firefly from heel, but she hasn't
done anything wrong! Just stole the only person I every really trusted.
She didn't mean to, but I could never be as perfect as ******! Fifth grade
was the perfect year, Me and Sharon against the world. It was all so
perfect..yeah, too perfect to last.

Journal-
I have a nice room, beautiful house, pool in my backyard and everything I've
ever wanted! My room is jammed with all the material things I've every
dreamed of. Yet all the money in the world can't buy what I want. I want
for Sharon to be my best friend again. She seems to have other plans.

Sharon called about four times today, and by the fourth I was a little
irritable, but at least it shows she's not ignoring me anymore! I feel a
little better.
10:55 PM
December 16, 1997
Just when I think everything is perfect, it's not. Guess why? Multiple
choice: Sharon, Sharon, Sharon. I wish I had a friend I could really trust
all of the time, with no doubt that I care about me and will always be
there. I thought I foud that friend, but I havn't and it's making me
miserable! It never fails: she gains my tust, then loses it. Gains, loses.
Guess what stage I'm at?

January 1, 1998
I just had the most fantastic two days of my life! Sharon finally spent the
night. This was the best time I've had for a long, long while. Last night,
Sharon and I had an excellent fashion show and took 20 shapshots plus four
more of us together. We blasted the music, cranked up the t.v., and wrecked
my room. Then we walked 5 ½ times around my 5 acres and then walked around
for another 50 min today nad then jogged for ten. All and all we burned off
about 600 calories and I feel GOOD. Also, today we excersized to my 8 min
abs and buns tape and as an extra Christmas present I made a copy of it for
Sharon. Oh! For Christmas I gave Sharon the tape and earings and she gave
me a scrunchie, a chocolate bar, and bath gel. I can't describe how much
fun I had. Those pictures are going to be so adorable!

Journal-
I dwell on things people say too much. Something Sharon said to me this
morning keeps ringing in my ears. After she had woken me up, callin me on
the phone, she runined my Saturday moring and then she said something I
can't forget. She said that if she were me for one day she would completely
change my life. I just wish that could really happen. I act carefree and
layed back but Sharon doesn't have to act. I hate life. But on the bright
side, did you know that custard pie is SO good???

March 19, 1998
Oh journal. I wish with all of my heart that Sharon wanted to be my best
friend again! I've always looked up to her: admired and respected her.
And, I just wish that we could be close friends again. She never calls
anymore. Doesn't even look at me at school. As a best friend, I really do
love her, but somehow our closness dissolved. But I'm thankful for this one
friend I've had since we were seven, ***** ********. I can't believe she
even wants to be my friend again, after the way Sharon had me treating her
in fifth grade. Of course, I willingly was awful to her. I would do
anything for Sharon, I can't believe what an idiot I was. But I miss her so
damn much!
I know if Sharon ever came to me with a problem or wanted my help again,
which she often does, I'd be there for her. But as soon as the problem was
solved she says thanks and walks out of my life unitl the next time. But I
can't hold a grudge. I wish I could, but I can't. Sharon and I have
drifted so far apart I hardly know her anymore. What am I gonna do???

Journal-
Sharon's here right now. I remember last week what ***** spent the night
and we never got to sleep becuase we just talked all night long. At one
point, she siad, "I don't know why you care about Sharon so much! You're
the most loyal friend, yet she treats you like dirt". I dunno, but it's
times like these that help me figure that out. But at school that same
brick wall is between us. What's heppening to our friendship? Are we only
capable of being close friends at home, not school? It things continue,
what I always considered to be a lifelong friendship will deteriorate before
my baby blue eyes.

March 27, 1998
Journal, I figured out something tonight. I need Sharon's friendship. I
need ti more than I've ever known. That's why I'm strong, becuase of
Sharon's incredible confidense gives me confidence. That's why I have to
get away from her--from this school. I'm going to try to convince my
parents to let me switch schools. I can't just depend on Sharon for the
rest of my life. I have to be my own person. No matter what it does to me.
1:03 AM
April 11, 1998
I'm switching schools. No doubt about it, I am. At first I thought I was
going to switch in high school, but I've moved it up to next school year.
You know what? It feels WONDERFUL. I'm going to be leaving Sharon behind,
and I'm going to be the person I always wanted to be. But Sharon has given
me an incredible gift: confidence. I have confidence in me, in who I am.
And at this point, I'm ready to do anything to get what I want. Without
Sharon.
12:47 AM
Now today is August 17, 1998. In about a week school starts, and I'm onto a
new life, without my ex-best friend. She was the biggest part of my life
for as long as I can remember, but I have to let go of her. For one thing,
I have to put ME out of MY misery. The jack-ass can stay behind and treat
everyone like she treated me. I hope everyone else can stand up to her
better than I could. If I had it to do all over again---well, I wouldn't.
A quick message to everyone before you get sick to your stomachs over my
sappy story: Be good to your friends, and they'll be good to you. Thanks
everyone. Mail is appreciated at SrahMcK@aol.com
