The secrets of fitting in-popularity

Today, I lost a very dear friend of mine to something that would eat her alive…Popularity.She’s trying to fit in with the girls she said she’d never be like.She’s not funny anymore she’s mean! She thinks she’s the boss and listens only to her other crew.She is menacing and scary now! She use to be kind and thoughtful but I guess popularity ate her alive.I really want the old her back.She’s only ever hanging out with her other friends now and not her old.She is only her when we are alone…I don’t like her anymore.She’s turned into something that is eating her.changing her.turning her into someone…a bitch.We made plans about a month ago to go to the movies and to visit our old primary school as well as visit the fair but…She stood me up.She said she was not going to the fair and hanging out at this other girls place.She said she was going with that other girl to the movies with her boyfriends and co-. She said she wanted to bring her ‘friends’ to our old school and show her around.I finally found the courage to say she was changing, She then turned round and said I was changing too! But I wasn’t, it was her.I feel really sad now.She said that her ‘other’ friends didn’t like the jokes she made to her old friends.So she stopped.She said they didn’t like the way she was dressed so she changed.She hangs out with them all the time now.I really miss her.I want her to come back.Because popularity is eating her alive…She only listens to her other friends now. Only. It’s changing her,trying to fit in, popularity is changing her…And maybe, just maybe she’s changing me too…
