Hey everyone, Alex here with a bit of a problem. Have you ever had a friend who you were REALLY close with change a whole ton? Like, change so much that you don’t really know them anymore?
That’s what I realized today: April has changed.
April came over to my house this morning and she was totally pumped to spend the day together. I was really glad to see her – until she told me what we were going to do. She said she wanted to hit the mall for some new clothes, makeup, perfume and all sorts of other stuff. I said that I was more interested in going to the park or museum and then maybe having some ice cream, but she said that was baby stuff and she wasn’t really into ice cream anymore.
How can you not be into ice cream?
Anyway, we went to the mall and I spent the ENTIRE day following her from store to store, watching her try on different outfits. Most of the time, it was like I wasn’t even there –she didn’t say anything to me other than “Carry this bag, would you?”
I told her that I was ready for a break, and asked if we could go to the food court for lunch. She started to tell me how bad the food was for me, and that we could eat when we got back to my house.
Which happened THREE HOURS LATER!
I was not too happy, to put it quite mildly. I was hungry. And grumpy. When I got back to my house, I microwaved some pizza and offered April a slice. She said she’d prefer a banana and some carrot sticks. I managed to find both, and she ate them, while wrinkling her nose at my pizza (which was delicious, by the way).
She asked if I had anything interesting planned for us to do that evening, and I told her about a play that was on at the Henrietta Hippo Theater.
She said that plays are boring and she didn’t want to go.
At that point, she whipped out her cell phone and started texting someone. She started laughing and then told me she made other plans for the evening. She said she’d stop by tomorrow and maybe we could go back to the mall.
I can’t believe it. Where is the exciting April I used to know? Who is this monkey and what has she done with my former best friend?
that wasnt very nice of april… you should find better friends to be with alex! there are plenty of pets in Kinzville!
Aww, dont worry, i LOVE ice cream and im 10. Girls are some times like that, if a popualer kid see’s them doing stuff like that, they feel as if the world is coming to an end! Btw, dont let her EVER boss you around!
Hey zeph317, I so totally agree with you.
That’s too bad Alex. I feel sorry for you! I hope you and April have fun together soon! >>cathouse2
I’ve changed so much in the past year exactly the same way April has so I can sort of relate 2 her
Oh and maybe she is insecure or trying to impress you or something like that.
I feel your pain, Alex. My former best friend has changed from a really nice fun-loving girl, to a girl who is all about fashion, make-up, and boys. And I don’t care about any of those things. But I moved on and found a really great best friend, who also doesn’t care about fashion, make-up, or boys. I haven’t talked to my former best friend about it yet, but I think we both know that we aren’t best friends anymore and we have new best friends. Maybe if you talk to April she will understand.
Sorry to hear that! Try experimenting things with her, and find something you both like to do! Why don’t you guys have a fashion show? You could dress up into some funny outfits, then rate each others outfits!! I love doing that!!!! :)
Hey Alex, I’m sorry seeing April again didn’t go the way you hoped. It’s true we all change, and the people who we love don’t always change with us; however, April should be able to compromise. See if there’s some place you both want to go and ask your mom if she can make something that both of you will eat or find a restaurant that will make you both happy. Tell her how you feel but be prepared, sounds like she’s behaving selfish enough that she might take it bad.
i agree Jayden…….

yeah i agree with lillyfoot2372. if you see what she is doing, she probably has friends in kinzville……
