You see, I have this "friend". (You'll see why it's in quotations a little later.)
This "friend" and I have known each other since 9th grade. Considering we're now both 20, that's approximately 6 years.
We do things that normal "friends" do. Go out for lunch, go shopping, talk about boys... you get the picture. However, throughout the years, I've discovered I can't really divulge my secrets and gossip to her. Why? Because she has a mouth on her like a torn pocket. She will look me in the eye, swear to me that she will never mutter those secret words to anyone else, and then as soon as my back is turned, everything comes falling out of her mouth.
Is she malicious? Sometimes I think she can be. But lately, it seems more and more like she's genetically programmed to spill the beans like she's been injected with truth serum or something. I hate to sound like a jerk, but she's really just not all that intelligent. I mean, come on. She had to take gr. 12 applied English about 4 times before she finally passed.
It's not the book smarts that bothers me though. Some people just can't conjugate verbs. I get it. She just does really stupid shit. Like leaves her computer screen open when I'm around and I can fully see the conversation she had in secrecy with me five minutes ago, that she's now telling to 3 other people. Like, are you just that stupid? Or do you just not care?
This is where my problem sets in. Am I retarded for still talking to this broad? I seem to find myself making excuses in my mind for her stupidity, just for it to make common sense to me. Turns out though, sense isn't all that common these days.
To be continued...
