People CAN change

     After moving from Virginia (where we spent two years) to Illinois (where we also spent two years) and back to Virginia again, I expected everyone to be the same as when I left them... When the first day of school came around, I realized I was really off.

    My best friend at the beginning of the year in 4th grade is now popular, and she turns the other cheek when I wave in the halls.
   My best guy-friend in 5th grade went from hanging with all the nerds (myself included) to playing on the football team and having a Frank Sinatra voice. Now everyone crowds around him and I can barely talk to him.
   Another one of my closest friends from elementary school, when I asked her if she remembered me, said, "I think so... I don't know...".
   Still another boy didn't remember me, even when he asked me out in 5th grade!
   My BEST friend from elementary school doesn't have ANY classes with me. Not even lunch. It bothers me, but I usually do alright making friends every time we move.
