Ever felt used and betrayed before? Here's a personal encounter. See, I used to have friend (one I thought was a true good friend) who happened to be there when I most needed a caring hand. She was in need of a tutor for her academic subject, and as a friend, I decided to help her, free of charge. Well, things were getting along mighty fine, and after her exams, I went on helping her get into a higher institute, with efforts that, looking back, far exceeded what a normal friend or good friend would have done in the same situation. ie. It was like I was the one applying for the place in the institute.
Well then, she got in the institute, and my existence then got totally ignored. And I'm not jumping to conclusions, because its been 5 months, and if you were to treat a someone like a good friend, you wouldn't, even if you were busy at times, just ignore his/her.
First, she claimed she was busy during school term, and now that the holidays were here, she really wanted to meet me and tell me all about school. Lets meet this weekend shall we? Sure. No short messages, no calls till the weekend was out.
Same day next week, Hey, shall we meet THIS weekend? Sure. Again no messages, no calls till the weekend was out.
So I texted, looks like you were busy the last 2 weekends? Yea, didn't expect something to crop up. All right. Well, at least you could have told me earlier ya, but never mind (I didn't say that to her)
Then after a few months (probably halfway through a school term), she suddenly called, asked when is my birthday? It was already past a week. But I appreciate the heart yes. Oh! I'll see you this weekend k, I'll make it up to you. Sure. No calls, no messages till 8.45pm at night, when I was on my way back to camp. Hey do you think we can still meet now? I was looking for something for you, and when I realised it, it was already nightfall! Oh i see. Hm actually I can't, you know.
Another week. Was on my way to catch a movie with my friends, thats 8.50pm at night, she suddenly texted and asked if I was free. Ya why? Can I meet you at the interchange now to pass you something? I was heading to place A, and she wanted to meet me at place B, which is like, 3 train stations apart. And I already told her. The show's at 9. What, you think I can teleport?! Right, never mind.
Another few weeks.
Texted her this time out of goodwill, ask her out. Ok, she says, anytime you are free. Ok, this weekend? "Weekend as usual, I spend time with my family and do some revision. Oh btw, do you think I can consult you maths that I duno? Hehehe." To this I only replied "I'm only free on weekends." (which she knows, really) First, if she did mean what she said about wanting to meet me, what's a few hours of a day on a weekend worth? Then, she has the CHEEK to again ask for my help, under such pretext.
Right, so I'm only expendable. What do YOU take me for, a TOOL? Use it with care when you need it, chuck it aside when you don't?
Such pretence, such cheek. *retches*
