So this is the story of Marie, the long time best friend of my friend Sharon. Also important to the story is Sharon was dating my best friend Justin at the time. So two pairs of best friends.
Before I ever met Marie, I always thought she was extremely hot based on Facebook photos… tall, blonde, thin… always dressed really nice. Eventually in college I built up the courage to comment on one of her photos (tagged with Sharon) with a joke. I got the best response imaginable (“lmfaooooo”). After that we added each other, with more playfully teasing comments ensuing.
I was feeling pretty good about the situation until one time she responded with: “Do you not have anything better to do than comment on all my pics?” Needless to say it felt pretty harsh, especially since it was done publicly. Channeling my inner 16 year old girl I removed her as a friend and fumed about it the next couple of days. Fuck her.
Fast forward a couple months and I’m back home for break, same town as Marie and Sharon. Justin and I are staying at my dad’s house for the summer. The first day we’re back Sharon invites both of us to come see a middle school play… starring Marie’s little sister.
