Dear Ex-Best Friend,

We were friends for four years. Those four years were filled with endless adventures, giggles, and mad boy problems. We were together practically everyday and when we weren't we were texting. We were always mistaken for sisters... I mean we practically were, right?
We met in seventh grade gym class. You were like my savior. My first friend since I transferred to our school. We slowly got to know each other and by eighth grade we hung out every weekend and even had homeroom together. We always made sure to inform each other of EVERYTHING in our lives.
Freshman year came around and let me tell you we were TERRIFIED of going to high school. I remember us texting till 3 AM the night before out first day.
Eventually you got your first boyfriend. Lets call him Nick. Well when it came to you and Nick I seemed to be the never ending awkward third wheel. I awkwardly hung out with you guys at the mall on your second date. Third date. Fourth date. It went on like that till you eventually told me you didn't really like him. I felt terrible for him. He really liked and cared about you and I had known all my life practically.
After you guys broke up he tried to get me to go out with him but I would never do that. I mean he dated my best friend. Right? That went on for a while but I never told you because I knew it would upset you.
The summer between freshman and sophomore year we went on vacation together. Fun right? Not quite. You decided it would be funny to point out all of my flaws and make "hilarious" jokes about them. I never understood that. You were supposed to be my best friend. Why were you making fun of me? I had enough of it and we would argue. We went 2 days without even talking to each other.
After vacation when we came back we had a little of a month before school started and we had sports practices to go too. We didn't talk as much. We might text a 'hey' or 'I miss you', but most of the time we wouldn't talk.
When school started we didn't have any classes or even lunch together. We just stopped talking like that. We had a mutual friend though. She's now your best friend and I don't talk to her either. You guys even dated best friends. That's what we always said we would do. Funny how things change, huh?
Just know I hope you're happy and doing good. I'm moving to Texas just like I always said I would. I wish you the best in your life and it you even need a shoulder to cry on, someone to stay up all night with because we watched one too many scary movies, or even just someone to talk too know I am and always will be here for you.
