As my high school years come to a close, everyone sits around a metaphorical bonfire and goes, "Awww, look at how close we became over the years! We're all friends now!"
And then there's me and my friends, as well as those who kind of don't have any, who just sit on the side and go, "What about us?"
And there's still the same cattiness going on that has been going on since we were preteens, and it will always be going on, since we have all known each other since we were preteens. And yet, some feel the need to pretend it's all Kumbayah and wonderful, when it's not.
Why? Why do people feel like they have to kid themselves? Why can't we just go on being cordial and then move on with our comfortable cliques? Why do they have to make this Declaration of Mutual Friendship that makes people who are clearly excluded feel extremely awkward?
It has never made sense to me and never will. I mean, it's one thing to just not say anything and exclude others; but to vocally pretend that it's all great when it's not is just mind-boggling. And I'm not one to always think things are wrong, mind you. I love optimism and whatnot. But there is no good to be seen in this declaration, especially when one girl in particular constantly treats me like the annoying younger sibling her parent makes her drag around all day and pretend she's friends with.
Being phony has always confused me and will never cease to do so.
