MY TOXIC BEST FRIENDπ

welcome back besties! i missed yalls </3 todays story is about my lowkey toxic friend.
so it all started in 5th grade, around the last day of school. i was to schoolchoice into a school in another town, and i was very proud to leave school early even though it was a half day for stepup day. there i met another girl there who would also be schoolchoice. we hit it off right away. let's call her ella. at the end of the day we were playing on the curb, and ella said "i hope we'll be in the same class" and i said "me too!" sure enough we were, though it was only like two classes: band (π€’) and english. and we never sat near each other for these classes so we kinda drifted apart. halfway through sixth grade covid hit, and classes were with the same people all day, so we weren't in the same class. the summer before 8th grade, i started taking russian math classes online. and there was this girl who had her first name and last name initial in the call. i thought it was her but assumed it wasnt since she looked kinda different. until when 8th grade started and we ended up in the same math class, and we were doing a kahoot and she turned around and went like "this is just like rsm π" and i was like lol yeah... WAIT W H A T and then she suddenly had this big connection to me. she always thought we were smarter than everyone else JUST BECAUSE WE TOOK RSM. which was a m a j o r red flag but i brushed it off.
also, she was an ice skater, and she somehow figured out i was a dancer in 6th grade and remembered that. well the thing is, there was this one cheerleader in 6th grade (i did a storytime on her a few years ago if you wanna see please ask for link) and she found out i was a dancer and she spent her whole time at my school (she left halfway through the year) trying to prove that she was better than me. ella was no other. she thought yet again we were more sophisticated than everyone else just because of these details we had in common. in a way she was kinda a pickme girl.
