I Read My Friends' Secret Chat About Me

Hi, guys! I’m Lucinda. And here is the photo of me and my best friends ever – Lora and Caroline. Do you see how happy we are? This picture was taken about 6 months ago and since then we’ve never been that happy together anymore. And here's why.

Lora, Caroline and I have known each other since forever. We used to spend a lot of time together and had always been more like family, than friends. From the moment all three of us entered middle school, like, years ago, it became evident that we had started to differ a lot from each other. I’d gotten interested in athletics, so I joined the school's track team and started prepping for marathons on an annual basis. But my friends have never been into sports at all. They’d rather talk about celebrity gossip and current movies and their film directors who love eating cheeseburgers, or join another book club or something like that. We’ve never had problems with our different interests at all. But a few months ago I suddenly got the feeling that Lora and Caroline were no longer as close to me as they used to be. Sometimes there were even times when I called my besties to ask them to go out somewhere, but they declined. It seemed like they were trying to avoid me. I even tried to ask them directly about what was happening, but they only said they had to get prepared for a school project that they were working on together and that they had too much to handle.

Then Saturday came. Saturday was a day that we used to spend together, from morning 'til night. It was our tradition to go shopping, take a walk in the park, and watch whatever was playing at the movies. And then late at night, we would cook something special for ourselves, as usual, eat it in front of another black-and-white movie, and then have a sleepover at one of our houses. That night it was Lora’s turn to have us over. We were having such a good time all day long and I had even forgotten about my thoughts I had about the strange things happening between us. We had made an almost perfect creamy soup and baked some zucchini muffins for dinner – yup! It was my idea of encouraging healthy eating for my friends. Everything was so perfect. It literally felt like it did when the three of us had a pajama party for the first time.
