There was a girl with whom I was best friends. We also worked together. She “broke up” with me (it’s a long story that I won’t go into). I was devastated. I wanted to be friends again so badly. Well, one day, I just decided to change my focus. Instead of focusing on her, I focused on myself. I started going to the gym. I bought new glasses with cool frames. I got my hair highlighted and cut in a neat way. I decided to just smile and be happy (eventually I actually was happy). She had quit working where I worked, but one day came in to visit the employees. I didn’t talk to her. I just stood there, working, singing along with the music that was playing. I saw her out of the corner of my eye kind of sizing me up. Even though I wasn’t looking at her, I could see the look on her face. She was impressed.

Now, honestly, she probably didn’t even much care, but it made me feel good.

Another friend once put sugar in someone’s gas tank when the friend did something really mean. I don’t remember the details, just the revenge action.

This is one of my favorite stories:

A friend was in high school where they did not have locks on their doors. Every day, she would bring in a chocolate cupcake. Every day, when she went to eat lunch, it wasn’t there. One day, she cooked the cupcake with some ex-lax in it. That was the last day her cupcake went missing! She never found out who did it.
