Erika is one of them people who all the other girls want to be like, and envies everything she does. Erika tries to look cool and tough in front of her friends, so makes fun of Haley. Erika and Haley have been going to school with each other since they were four years old; they used to best friends everyone though they were going to stay like that forever. When they got to middle school unfortunately every thing had changed, Erika made new friends and started not to hang out with Haley as much anymore. Eventually Erika completely drifted away from Haley, and with her new friends they would pick on Haley, since she knew all her deepest secrets. Day after Day Haley would come home crying to her mother and father, begging them to call Erika’s mother and to tell her to stop. Haley’s parents wouldn’t do it, they thought that Haley was now at the age of where she could handle thee situation herself. Her parents told her to call Erika and ask her what had happened to their friendship, but knowing Haley they knew that she would be too scared to do it. For the next couple months this happened every day, not a single day would it fail. Haley woke up one morning and felt that day that she had gained up enough confidence to tell Erika off! She got out of bed, got dressed and went down the stairs, with the most positive attitude that her parents had ever seen out of her before. She walked out the door straight and tall, walking down the block thinking in head what she was going to say to Erika. She calmly walked to her locker and there Erika was standing right in front of, most likely waiting there to make fun of Haley. Before she could even open her mouth, Haley started yelling at her, no caring who was around, telling her how rude she being b making fun of people, especially someone who used to be her called best friend. Telling her that she needs to get over herself thinking that’s she the stuff, when she has flaw about her too and that she needs to recognize them instead of pointing the ones out in other people. That’s the basics of what she said but here was more, it went on for about fifteen minutes. Haley walked through her house door after school with a smile so large on her face you couldn’t even see her eyes. She ran to her mom and dad and told them how she had told Erika off at school today, and how she didn’t regret any minute of it. Her mom and dad couldn’t even get a word in, finally her mom said that now hopefully Erika will that the worlds not all bout her and that she will finally stop her bullying. At around seven that night the phone rang, Haley’s mom answered and told her to come down stairs, she had a phone call. She said hello and to her surprise it was Erika, she apologized for everything and how mean and rude she had been to her the last few years. Erika said that she knows she had changed and she wished she wouldn’t have. Haley and Erika talked everything out and then became friends again, and from that day forward Erika never made fun of anyone again. Months went by and they continued to get closer and closer, and were soon then best friends again. Both Erika and Haley said that they were glade to have their best friend back, and learned that people go through fazes where they try to be cool and get all the attention but really never lose the person that they used to be.
