We Aren't Friends But Never Enemies

Oh how this edition topic brings back memories that I thought I had forgotten. One thing I'm so bad at is keeping record of how I met someone who later became a friend to me because somehow, it's almost never a significant moment for the two of us who became friends. But one of my friendships beginning has stuck in my memory for so long now.

I'm choosing to share that beginning for this topic... She isn't my friend now but she's not my enemy either, what do I mean? Read on to find out.

I was this shy and neat girl in class, always quiet so my name never got on the noise maker list but what I didn't know was that a lot of my mates were taking note of how different I was among them. I would stay quiet through out our classes and walk home quietly immediately they sound the closing bell.

This routine changed for me two sessions before I left the school, I met a crazy girl. She joined our class late and was asked to sit next to me as the teacher in class that time liked me a lot so she was like "Merit is a good student", you should make friend with her" and I didn't know my life would change completely because of that statement when I gave the new girl a beautiful smile.

We were same age, loved same colours, both obviously neat girls and didn't had time for anything else aside our companionship and studies... Yeah, we bonded way faster than I had ever been with any even up till now. She literally had a gum on me, you would find her wherever I was and would find me wherever she was. We ate lunch together (she usually brings delicious baked items to school as her parents have a bakery) we needed only the two of us to shun any wrong words said by others about us.

I didn't had to go home alone anymore but we would always part ways about 30mins away from my home. I followed her to her place sometimes, her mum never lets me go back home without some bakery goodies but she never for even once followed me to my home. Up till we parted ways, she never knew where I lived but I knew literally everything about her. I didn't see any issues with it since I was happy I had a friend to be with whenever it was school periods.

Our beginning was memorable for me and I was more than grateful to find such a friend who was almost like me in so many ways. Other students got jealous of us and we made sure to make them stay jealous because every day came with new drama from the two of us. Even the teacher who introduced us was happy for me because she felt I was out of my shell when I met a friend.

Now, she's married so we're not close friends anymore but she isn't my enemy, I bet that we will go crazy together again if we ever meet 😂 so yeah, that's what I mean by we aren't friends anymore.

Wow, for some reason I was expecting an ending along the line of "we had a fight but I forgived her but we aren't friends but not enemies" kind of story. I was relieved when I read to the ending. Good for her.

It's kinda crazy how very close friendship like this suddenly become "less close" after a while. I guess her marriage is a factor that pushed you both apart, at least it wasn't because of a quarrel or something unpleasant

such a nice story you have there of yourself.
I really believe that both of you will have a tons of stories to tell when you finally met again.
I can relate having distance with the married friends, as we should undterstand their priority. : )

Wow !! For me, One thing that always happens to me after reading someone else’s school memories is they kinda bring back some pieces of my own childhood memories, which I love so much. It’s awesome. The best days of my life, yet.

When you’re with someone you like, It’s so easy to get out of your shell and do your thing. Something I can very well relate to.

So you kept me in suspense just to find out that you and the girl didn't fight at the end of the day.
If I see you, just run away. So you made me stay glued to a story that ended with a title different notion.

Anyway, you are lucky to find someone like you, it's not easy. I guess you should relocate to where she is living now🤪

Hmmm... She didn't even know your house? That's weird.

Anyway, you had that friend to keep you alive, and that was what mattered most to you. You both were happy together.

Now that she's married, it's definitely never going to be the same. You too, go and marry.

Yeah, I didn't even notice early that she never visited my place... Maybe because my place was far from school and hers was closer.

It was a friendship worth remembering still 😊

I will soon marry, all the wedding preparations have been done... Remaining to the man to stand as the groom 🥲

Your place being far was not your fault and also not an excuse. But that's many years ago, though.

Everything is in place for the wedding, right? Na just man remain...leave that one for me. I will check the market places to find your size and spec.

Kinda same thing that happened to me and my friend, I got married, but she is yet to, and the friendship and closeness started fading away. Why does it always happen though?

This routine changed for me two sessions before I left the school.

Normally when the cub is now a lion😂
Its a beautiful read that qualifies the statement of "show me your friend and i will tell you who you are" that is how close friends are.

It’s good you finally came out of your shell. Who would have thought Merit was a quiet girl.😅

Such kind of friendship is just like magic. I think we can short time we can change ourself whenever we get such kind of friend.

I think a good friend is always be a good friend doesn't matter you meet with her or not.
