I became friends with this girl my freshman year at college. She always had a boyfriend, but it didn't stop us from being friends. Whether it was school work, needing a hug, or someone to talk to, she was always there and I made sure to be there for her. When her died dad, I was one of ylrhe folks who contacted her and tried to be there for her. But when I came back from summer break for my junior year, everything changed. When I tried talking to her, all I got were one word responses and she would tell me "hold on" and walk away. I thought she was having a bad day, but when I tried to talk to her again at a football game, she just started walking away when I was talking to her. "She replies, " I will talk to you later" with a smile and continues her own way and not paying any mind to what I was saying. It seemed a lot had changed in her life since her fathers death. She had recently found a new boyfriend and joined FCA(fellowship of Christian athletes). I guess she had rededicated her life to Christ, but I was still happy for her. However I was still confused by how distant she was acting so I just backed off.

I thought things would change this senior year, but she was even more colder. The last time I tried to talk to her, I tried to say "it's so good to see you", but before I can finish that sentence, she replies, "it was good talking to you too" and walks away. I felt so embarrassed, hurt, and angry. What the heck was that all about? Of all the people to make a 180 on me, she was the last person I expected to do that.
