This is my story. It is the beginning of the ...

This is my story. It is the beginning of the second semester and a new year in eighth grade. I was over at my best friend Christina’s house. Yet again, she was listening to her favorite CD-Dream Street. When I got to her room she turned down her music and we talked about it. She said that she was the best DS fan ever. I said they’re OK and I like the music. Then she went on to say that I wasn’t a “true” fan, so I left her house and walked home. The next day I found a note in my locker(衣物柜). It was from Christina. It said, “I do not consider you as one of my friends. You are a liar.”

After that dreadful day it got worse. I didn’t smile, or even talk to my other friends. I completely shut myself off from the world. I just didn’t understand what went wrong. Finally after a few days, some of my friends got together and came to me. They tried their best to comfort me and make me smile.

The time that I realized something very important was that night. After several sleepless nights, I suddenly realized that I was loved, and I had other friends, I could get over it. Quickly, I turned on my light and started writing a letter to each of my friends. I wrote about the good times and how much I cared about them. I told what was happening to me, why I was so upset, and I thanked each of them for helping me. The next day I gave my friends the letters. When they finished reading them, they thanked me and gave me a big hug. I realized that I needed to be strong and how friends could help with your problems and help you heal.
