Still Friends

We meet in 6th grade,
I don't know you, you don't know me.
But that year was awesome,
best friends we'll always be.

Into 7th grace,
new friends come along.
But jealously is common,
some words come out wrong.

Yet at the school year's end,
we're all still friends. Sister's alike,
we never want it to end.

Summer is a happy time,
no fight choose to come.
Calling guys, hanging out,
dressing like a bum.

But 8th grade starts out different,
though you really cannot tell.
Others come between us,
now school feels like hell.

One lone stranger,
one kind word.
Now she's among us,
preaching the absurd.

One girl's game to ruin another,
one girl's ploy that she's alright.
One girl's try to be unique,
one girl's loss of friends in the night.

And int he corner stands another,
a grin plastered on her face.
The cause of allt his mayhem,
she beat them in the race.

Some friend's don't try,
and some friends cope.
One desperate plea,
one promise broke.

One lie told,
one lie discovered.
one life destroyed,
no others recovered.

Some friends forgive,
some friends forget.
One won't try,
another's heart gets hit.

Two simple words,
one huge question.
"Still friends?" we ask,
another rejection.

One small lie,
followed by another.
One broken promise,
they don't have each other.
