I can't believe I actually got implicated in a childish friendship cold war at this age. And the people involved are about as old as me, or even older — add all our ages together and we're almost a hundred years old.
Let's just do it the old-fashion way. There are 4 people directly involved in this. All girls btw. H, J, S and myself. H, J & S knew each other longer than I know any of them — almost 3 years I think. They were very close all these while & when I got to know them, we hit off straight away. H & S were really, really close & they talked about almost everything & hanged out every weekend. Until a few months back, H started to see less of S because of some personal reasons (nothing due to anyone of us). Then, S grew closer to myself, as well as J.
All 4 of us happened to know a common group of friends whom H is closer to. This group of fellas started to ask me out lately without asking J&S. This happened more than once & even though J&S were present, this group of friends (TGOF) just went ahead to ask me for dinner, drinks, shopping & blah without the intention of getting J&S along. Thinking it was no harm, I mentioned to J&S about this TGOF asking me out & all. Little did I know, J&S started to feel bitter & puzzled. Apparently J&S knew TGOF for a longer period of time as compared to me. They became sarcastic and started saying things like, "They only like you! They want you to join their league. Go lah go!" I got rather pissed off. It's not my fault that they invite me isn't it? And 80% of the time, I reject their kind invitations & went on ahead with J&S.
Later, we found out that H was hanging out with TGOF all these months without informing us. I was rather bitter about it initially but soon realised H has got the absolute right to go out with anyone she wants. And all along, I was still maintaining my good terms with H & TGOF.
Then, it seems that a conspiracy grew in between J&S. They started hanging more than before & somehow "boycott" H. Even if H is around, S was giving out negative vibes & gave her cold shoulder. I realised it but kept mum, thinking that maybe I was too sensitive. Until yesterday, a chat with H proved my instincts right. H felt the same way as me. After a long talk, we planned a meet-up next weekend without J&S on purpose.
Argh! I feel like a primary school kid now. >_<
