For my birthday, I wanted to go see a movie with my close friends. My friend, See had two other friends whose birthdays were a day after mine and she decided that we all should go to the movies together. My friend also ended up inviting other people, in which, I didn’t want so many people to tag along because I just really want to spend a nice time with my friends only. Plus having too many people tagging along is very complicating for me. I really want to go to the movies with my friend but because my parents have never let me go out with my friends before I am scared that they’ll reject my request. Because of these two problems I stayed low ground and kept quiet about my plans for my birthday. A few weeks before I got the thought of hanging out with my friends on my birthday, See also told me she was going to make my birthday very special and that she will be getting me something nice. I honestly didn’t expect very much on my birthday but when she told me that, I was very excited and she got my hopes up high. The day before my birthday, my other friends were talking about spring shopping and I show them the list of things I wanted to get and I mentioned that my birthday will be the next day and I joked to them about getting me the things on my list. When See heard about it, she mentioned that she was “broke”. I didn’t say anything in return because I thought maybe she had already brought me something else for my birthday. Apparently, on the day of my birthday, I only got (plainly) “Oh hey, it’s your birthday. Happy birthday.” I was really disappointed because on the same day, See told me that she was going to make her other friend cupcakes for their birthday. I felt like she totally forgotten about me and her promise to make my birthday special. When I got home, my older brother asked me if I was still planning on going to the movies for my birthday because he’s available to take me on Friday. So the next day, which was Thursday and the day after my birthday(Wednesday), I asked See about going to the movies. See couldn’t tell me why she couldn’t go to the movies until I kept on asking why. She told me that she had other things to do. She told me that she was going to LA with her Aunt and they will be going shopping over there. After she said that, I was even more disappointed than ever. Not only my good friend had stood me up on my birthday but she had to hurt my feelings when I asked her to hang out with me. She said that I wasn’t serious about going out with them to the movies since the beginning, so now that they got their own plans, I should ask someone else to go with me. In my defense, I have never gone out with any of my friends before and planning on hanging out is not my best kind of thing to do. I feel hurt, not only because my friend stood me up on my birthday, but it was ironic how she lied to me about being “broke” and then telling me the next day that she have plans to go shopping in LA? I would had been less mad if she just tell me face to face that she’s unable to stick to her words. I don’t know what to think or how to feel towards my friend See. I feel a little bitterness towards what she had done. What do you guys think? Please give me your opinion and advice on this.
I’m sorry that this is such a long story!
