I'm sure ALL of you knew Risha. My so-called ex-best friend... The one everyone thought was drop dead gorgeous, funny, and of course, extremely sexual. And she was only 12-13 back then, too. Well, what can I say? We hated each other for what seemed like forever; I remember her drawing on my supremely ugly eighth grade pictures, talking s**t to my face, and even telling Stuart to tell me stuff directly from her. It was hard, considering she was Stuart's best friend, and my worst enemy. Stuart was my on-and-off-again boyfriend at the time. Whenever I'd ask him if he'd like Risha, he'd say no, and that they were strictly friends. I'd ask this question both inwardly and outwardly, oh, so many times. I mean, how could I not be concerned? Here was this really pretty girl talking to my boyfriend non-stop about God knows what; I think I had the right to be inquisitive at the time. That, and the fact that I was terribly insecure led me to constantly ask if they were more than friends. The answer had always remained "no," though. It's so weird to think about, but me and Risha became friends through the mutual dislike we had towards Vanessa. I can't recall why Risha didn't like her other than because she was, apparently, a "slut" and a complete "b***h." After we discussed our mutual dislike for the girl, I thought we were friends. Turns out, no. She just wanted to get close to me to "steal" Rain away, even though he wasn't my boyfriend at the time. She didn't succeed, though. Awkward to think about... Anyway, after she claimed defeat upon not stealing Rain, we then became friends. We'd talk all hours on the phone, always be in rallies, and text frequently during class. In fact, at one point, I'm pretty sure we were closer than her and Stuart had even been. Hell, at this point, me and Stuart had been broken up, so I supported them if they wanted to move forward in their friendship. I remember we had an obsession with Derek Balarezo, "Robocop" by Kanye, and gold-digging LOL. Anyway, after all the shared laughs and plans of revenge we created together, she stopped getting on both MSN and Gaia. I was sad about this, but she never really told why she suddenly stopped getting on. Then, one day after a long time of her not being online, she came on MSN and bitched me out for "stealing Stuart" away from her. Let me make this clear when I say that me and Stuart, after we'd broken up the last time in 2008, had never even remotely been close to being more than friends again; we were fine with being friends. However, she didn't buy it; she simply bitched at me. It stung, too, knowing how close we'd gotten that year. If she was going to throw away our friendship over a boy, I decided I would, too. After a while, I went on Facebook, and it suggested I'd add her profile. I clicked on it only to realize that, what some people thought was true: she had faked pictures She looked NOTHING like the girl in her old Gaia pictures, except for the same shade of hair, maybe. Otherwise, I could tell that the two girls were completely different. There's seriously nothing real about the girl. I felt stupid for believing that she'd been who she had said she was, and even more stupid for realizing it just then.
P.S. Picture of her/us not included, because I'm pretty sure I deleted all the screenies we had, so I'll just put a picture of our favorite eye candy from back then.
Drum roll, please.
