I have about 6 "best friends", which sounds a lot, but with 5 of them I grew up in lower school with. The last one is a guy I've known about 3 years and we see each other practically every day. I then have about 4 other people who when I'm with, I get on extremely well with, but we don't really make an effort to see each other because we have very different lives and very different friends. There are random people I like, but meh they don't mean anything to me really. All my close friends are outside of 6th form for various reasons, which can sometimes make me sad that we are all so split up. People in school think I don't really have any close friends, when actually they're all outside of school, but hey what can you do? Life’s a bitch. I know that they are my "real" friends though because they love me (as I do them) and we have some of the best times together, and if that's convenience, then I dunno what real friendship is.
A guy who was in my “top 3” best friends has just randomly decided to stop talking to me, because he has all his new friends now and I was just there at the time to make him look good. That makes me depressed because I really liked him, and I could have talked for hours with him, but obviously that was meaningless to him. Still, I’ll get over it.
