Work, work, and a little more work...followed by a not-so-healthy side of bitterness.

Yesterday I worked for around 10 hours.
Today I worked around twelve.

o.0


As you can imagine, I am fairly exhausted from being on my feet all day long.
Back to what I was planning on saying..even though I ended up working longer then expected, I learned how to drive a 4 wheeler and even took it out for a few speedy spins. I even got to wear one of those sexy biker helmets and sunglasses!

On the bad side, for no apparent reason Alex's friend Dede does not like me. She has been telling Alex all of these lies and stories about me and creating dissention...but I've done some thinking, and have been paying attention to how Dede acts around me, and she doesn't really seem to be the kind of person to do such a thing.
Then again, maybe she simply does have something against me. Although I cannot think of a single thing that I did wrong to her.
The other option is that Dede isn't saying anything negative or false about me and that Alex (yes..her..) is creating these stories up so that I won't hang around Dede at all. Not that I ever do now, though. I can't think of any reason or point to making up those stories and falsehoods, so I'm going to still trust that Dede is in fact creating these fables about me.

On top of this, my feelings of no longer being good friends or perhaps even friends with Alex are getting stronger day by day. I no longer want to spend time with her or even call her. Besides, she never tries to call me anyways. Occasionally she'll text me, but that is nowhere near the same as talking to me over the phone or hanging out with me in person.
Still, I wonder, is our friendship meant to last? I'm beginning to highly doubt that.
At least I can use my job as an excuse to not be able to hang out with her.

I bet that I'm just going to have to suck up to the fact that she and I have both changed dramatically in the past six months and that our old stance of "best friends for life" and our sister-like closeness has been dissolving within these past few weeks.

Whatever the final outcome is, I hope that I will never forget the good times that we had together and the little games that we invented over the years.


[As a side note, I'm turning 17 this year and have known Alex since I was 11.]
