One really good friend i once had was Reeve. We were best friends in 6th grade i was new to Robs and we hit it off immediately, attached at the hip. I went to her house she came to my house it was a lot of fun. For instance we would make ridiculous videos at her house. Reeve's family would go hunting from time to time so they had target practice animals set up in her backyard which i though was crazy since i have never been hunting a day in my life. Anyway we would pretend the animals were real and give ourselves hick accents and talk about the animal or we would pretend to be on a safari hunt and shoot them with bow and arrows. We mainly would hang out at her house just because her parents were much more lenient about things than my mom who struggles with allowing anyone around her to be idle including her self. Our relationship was silly and full of laughter not really based on anything deep or meaningful we just had a good time together being silly. Upon entering 7th grade Reeve began to change she wanted different things she seem to have a desperate need to be popular and she tried so hard. I didn't understand this we had fun and i couldn't understand why she need the popularity so much. I mean sure its easy to get sucked up in it all but I dont think i ever wanted it as bad as Reeve did. Basicly after all her atempts she took a new approach, boys.In lower school or elementary school she had been a little chunky and the summer entering 7th grade she got her parents to hire her a personal trainer. So she had for the most part slimed down and basicly became boy crazy. From my stand point i can understand this obviously, for the beginning of that year i was with her, just because its fun to talk about boys and giggle and what not. BUt i also have a twin brother so being around boys all the time was not that appealing to me especially my brothers friends, i saw them often enough. Which reeve thought was really lucky and were the pluses of hanging out at my house. But my brothers friends never actually treated me like a girl more like a little brother. Reeve and i by this point were getting in fights and i was always frustrated with her because of how different she acted around boys and the "popular girls" so in a way i can see how i brought down this friendship as well. Her reaction to this was oblivious she acted like she had no idea what i was talking about naturally. But that 7th grade year a new girl named anna came to our school. Anna was liked by the boys early on because she was confident in her own way and she was "developed" . So i was droped as the best friend and Anna took over.
