So, i sent my friend a message on facebook yesterday basically saying hi, how are you, haven't spoken in ages, what have you been up to? That kind of thing. I got my reply in the inbox this morning. This is what it reads (and yes, her spelling is bad):
"ok so th reson we havent spoken is tht i feel i need a brek - im sorri but if im gunna spend 2yrs in a form wiv u nd possibli lessons ontop of tht i reli need a break this summa i dnt mean 2 sound mean its jst how i feel
so basicli wat im sayin is tht im avoidin u soz but i jst need 2 do my own thing 4 a while soz 4 n e hurt caused but n e ways tnx nd hav a gd summa"
And I feel like I've been kicked in the guts. She can shove her 'brek' up her a**e.
So I'm just not gonna reply. If she wants to be childish, its her choice. I will rise above it. But to be honest, that message is just rude and cowardly. I can't believe it. It's ridiculous. And i know its not me overreacting.
And this is after she told me she feels awkward when i talk about my brother, making me feel i couldn't talk about him in case it bothered her. And after she sent a message to a guy on facebook saying that another friend fancied him. Behind her back. The only reason she found out was because he told her about it.
But hey, whatever. I have other friends. Friends who aren't gonna do anything quite so b**chy

The normal reaction to finding out your gonna spend two years in a class with a friend is to squee and hug. Or hug and squee. But definitely one of the two; the whole point of friendship is you like spending time together - at least I think it is, I'm not very good at I myself. So no, you're not overreacting.
Your brother has the potential to make any of us feel awkward - worried that we're gonna say something stupid or insensitive. And self-centred people--the kinda person who's always in worse mess than you--are gonna feel put out that they can't trump your difficulties. So this friend sounds a bit like that.
The second half of the penultimate paragraph went a bit Vicky Pollard. But stick with the levitating chair - just tie helium balloons to any deck chair.
Torchwood tommorow.
