The life lesson I learned from was to not lie to my best friend. When and if you lie to your best friend, you may lose that friend. My best friend and I are like sisters we are always there for each other when i’m getting bullied she stands up for me, when shes hurt emotionally, or someone says something about her I say something to them and tell them not to talk about my best friend like that, and thats a few reasons why her and I are best friends.




The first time I lied to my best friend she didn’t want anything to do with me for about a week, and we usually make up after a day. So, when she didn’t talk to me for a week I thought that our friendship was over. It scared me because I honestly thought I lost her. Throughout that whole week the things we could have done I missed out on. We usually would call each other after school or hangout, we didn't do any of that the whole week. I missed my best friend. i lost my mind that week.



When she realized I had lied to her she yelled and screamed at me, and told me to leave her alone and to never talk to her again. For three days at lunch and at home I cried and at lunch every day she just sat there watching me cry. I didn't like her yelling at me because she was really mad and after she yelled at me I felt sad and sorry, I told that I was sorry almost everyday and she didn't listen to me. One of my friends came to me and said, “Hey, Cherise found out that you lied to her.” and Someone else came up to me and said “What kind of friend are you, why did you lie to her She’s your best friend.” I don’t know how she found out or how anyone found out not that it’s good to lie because it isn’t. after I got told that, I got a sick feeling almost like my heart dropped. The way we became friends again was when my guy friend went to her and talked to her about how upset I was. He told that it was crazy the way she would look at me and that it was just nonsense. She gave me a weird look when she saw me public .



When I realized it was that bad I never lied to her again. Yeah, we may get into an argument every once in a while, but we eventually make up the next day or two. When we didn’t talk for that whole week, I realized that because I was so scared of losing her, I would never lie to her again. When I lied to her I didn't think or feel anything. I didn't think it was going to almost end our friendship and I didn't feel sick or hurt when I told her the lie. I felt like a friend when I told her the truth.



So…. When you are thinking about lying to your friends/ best friends, be careful cause you may just lose her/him.
