It was sort of odd at first but then it became the normal routine. I would come over his house, and we would mistakenly lock eyes but quickly look away. We could be at the same dinner table sitting across from each other and look around each other without saying a word.
Recently, I was at his house and like usual, we played the "act like you don't exist game" with one another. This time, it was just strange, and everyone in the room noticed it. It was just odd now, being our age and not able to talk to each other. This even made me more upset since I felt like he should try to at least resolve the issue with me. But then I became upset with myself because I didn't want to talk to him.
We were such great friends. We could talk about anything with each other and we were always honest about it. But now we acted if we never knew the other, like complete strangers. I had so many opportunities to reach out to him, but I didn't(of course, I have my pride).
I actually think that we both wanted the other to say something first, but we were afraid of the consequences. Now are friendship is probably damaged permanently. It sucks simply because I could've been the one that helped him turn his life around. We both could've learned a lot from each other, but because of each others arrogance, we let a friendship dissolve.
My summer may not have been the best summer, but it taught me many life lessons. Some that I hope to learn from in the near future
