She's two-faced, he's a big baby, I am a liar.
I went out to lunch today. Called my friend just as the bell rang. "What" he said. Where are you?
Click.
We're in the car. "What's your problem?" I shout.
We are at a stoplight.
SHE TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T WANT TO GO!
I get out and walk back to school.

To think we as our own person have no flaws is a flaw in itself. I lied. I got caught. She told him. Or rather, he guessed. It's always about him, and me trying to get out of it. and her. letting everyone know everything.

We are all bad friends. but we call each other best.

right.

I'm sorry
