You can try to persuade me all you like but I say NO this time. You should have thought about this friendship before
I'm getting the feeling that my friends don't understand me...they just don't seem to be able to understand the fact that I don't like being surrounded by a lot of people and I just can't be happy when I am. No, I can't possibly have fun at prom...too many judgemental idiots. I prefer to be in a place with only my friends and other close people doing whatever we like to do without having to worry about people saying that we are being an annoyance. I'm going to spend this whole weekend being lonely even though it seemed like we were going to have time to hang out this weekend earlier this week, prom isn't the whole freaking weekend, they have nothing else going on, and they would rather go have fun without me apparently. It's nice to know that they care.
Btw, their response when I asked them today if they wanted to hang out: "If you would only go to prom this wouldn't be a problem." I'd stop being friends with them, but they're all I've got. I have no other options than keeping them or loneliness.
