Not Worth It

Maryanne flipped her dark hair over her shoulder. “Well…” she drawled, “you guys just don’t do what I want to do at recess…I…er…get bored.”
One of Maryanne’s many excuses. She hadn’t been playing with me, Joelle, Victoria, and Lea at recess for the last…oh, I don’t know, 3 weeks?
“Please, Maryanne,” spat Joelle. “If you wanted to do something else, you could have said it at any time.”
Ugh. I was so tired of fighting! Obviously, no matter how heartbreaking it was to admit, Maryanne didn’t want to be friends anymore.
“You know what, guys? I’m sick of fighting. I don’t want to be friends anymore! I am done with you.”
Maryanne turned her back and stalked off. I suppose she expected Joelle, Victoria, Lea, and I to come, too, and maybe beg forgiveness, but we stayed where we were.
I took deep breath. Some friends just weren’t worth chasing after.

    “Some friends just weren’t worth chasing after” should have been the title of this story and you should have been way more ‘IN YOUR FACE ’ about it. I like what you wrote, but I didn’t like how you wrote it. You have talent. Use it.
