I wasn’t the most popular kid in my fresh year and not into fashion. As a result, I had no close friends, which is why I was so surprised when Ashley and I became friends before sophomore (大二) year.
Ashley was fashionable and very artistic. These were qualities I knew nothing about. We had always been in the same classes, but had never talked much.
During summer schools we both took the same classes. The teacher paired us on a task. Ashley seemed unwilling to work with me at first, but she gave in, I imagined, because none of her “cool” friends were in the class. We worked on the project together. When classes ended, we continued to hang out.
Ashley was all of the things I thought I wanted to be. I began listening to the music she listened to, wearing the clothes she wore. When we started school again, Ashley introduced me to her group of friends. Finally I fit in. I followed them around, laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions.
One day, I overheard (无意听到) their talk in the school canteen (食堂). “She’s such a loser,” one girl said.” I know, Ashley. She just follows you around and doesn’t have a personality of her own,“ another girl added. Then Ashley replied, “I know, I wish she would leave us alone. We were in summer school together and now she thinks we’re best friends or something.”
It was the first time that I had felt heartbroken. My eyes were with uncontrollable tears. I thought we were friends. I didn’t know she thought of me in that way I couldn’t stay there and listen anymore. I got up and ran out the door. The girls sitting fell silent as they realized I had heard the whole conversation.
