Sad, but True

This year I've had to confront something that I've never dealt with before.

I'm sure that a lot of people will agree when I say that it's one of the most awkward things when you're in the same class with or bump into someone in the hallway who was your very best friend in elementary/middle school.

It's really weird. I had this friend from 5th to 7th grade. We were absolutely best friends. Things happened, and we weren't friends anymore. Well, now I'm in a class with this person. Whenever we have to speak in front of the whole class and this person is speaking, all I can think is "Wow. We used to be best friends. Now....we barely talk to each other, much less acknowledge each others' existance."
Then today, when I was going up the stairs one of my good friends from 4th and 5th grade was walking right next to me. Maybe she really was oblivious, but I noticed her next to me.
I was about to write "But I'm not one to start a conversation with somebody I haven't talked to in years." But now that I'm thinking about it...maybe these people aren't either. But I doubt that all the friends I've have from 2nd grade to now are like this. Maybe this is what high school does to people. It makes them not care about old friends. It makes them think talking to people who you use to talk to all the time that are now "uncool" is just a dumb thing to do.
High School changes them.
Change...something that happens to everyone I suppose, in some way or another.
I'll be the first  to admit it...I've changed a lot since I was friends with these people.
Heck, from 7th grade 'til now...I'm a lot more obnoxious. I'm a little more careless. I get mad easier than I used to. Frustrated too. I'm more hyper. I won't go as far as saying I'm an overall more positive person, but it's sort of true. I mean, I've come a long way from the 7th grade me.Yes, I know everything said before that kind of contradicted the positive statement...but you'd of had to know the 7th grade me.
But enough of that useless stuff....

I've been a little too boring and over-thinking things since break ended. Thank you finals...thank you very much.
