Not so Friendly

It all began with my two best friends. I told them everything about me because I trusted them. Until one of them got a boyfriend that I did not like. I admitted it to her and thought she should revise her dating standards. But she took offence and ignored me for a week. I didn’t mind because I knew she needed time. It’s okay to be angry. But then a month later she started spreading rumors about me around school which turned my last best friend against me. Fortunately I was around be to make other friends so I was able to ignore it. When they saw that their rumors were did not break me they decided to take it further. They found pictures of me and posted them online with the snake emoji on them. They cursed at me and laughed at me. They told lies about me. I finally broke down and decided to give in. I told my parents. They talked to their parents and threatened to file a police report. They have recently apologized. Unfortunately, the pain is still in my heart. The people I once thought were my friends would attack me so ferociously. I have since then decided to keep a certain distance from new people I meet. No one can be fully trusted.
