In the same week two guys confessed to Iris one named Richard and the other named Marcus. Iris chose Marcus because she know him longer. (Iris had a crush on Richard in freshmen year but she gave up that crush and three years later he turned out to like her). They (Iris and Marcus) dated for four days and he broke it off she slumped into a worldpool of dark depressing thoughts because he was her first boyfriend even though they weren't "offical". They stopped talking for a while and decided to be "just friends" when they started back talking. Some where along those lines they turned into "friends with benefits" that only lasted some months because they had a little arguement about what there status was,Iris didn't care for status she just wanted gifts. They took a break. After a few weeks they got back as just friends again and somehow truned into friends with beneifits. They spent months like that and Iris was lured into the "Richard trap" because he wanted to display public affection while Marcus hated it. He broke it off with Marcus and Went off with Richard.

 

She told Richard everything even her sexuality. They were good great even for a few months,he even gave her one of his gituar picks (which she misplaced), when a group of people started bullying him about her, she did the best she could to help but it didn't work. 

 

Richard broke it off with Iris. Iris was hurt so she seeked comfort in her friends.Her best friend Shawna said it was Iris's fault. Iris asked them to stop talking to him because of the friendship rule (when someone hates someone else the group stops talking to that person;as Iris has done for them many times). She didn't see a problem with that because they all didn't like him but they said they weren't doing that. She cut them all off she stopped talking to Shawna and Nathan and stuck my herself.

 

Iris made friends and she kept one of the friends from the ast named Charlotte. Charlotte told Iris that Richard is going around telling people about her sexuality and the fact that she was with his ex named Shanice causing her to lose one of her new friends. Months of this took place and on the last day of school Iris stood up to him and he denied it. In all of that happening Iris got back friends with benefits with Marcus.

 

She started summer classes and meet an intersting girl named Crystal. She later found out Crystal was bisexual. They both made out in the bathroom a week after they came out to each other. On that same day she wanted to break it off with Marcus; she didn't. A few days Iris was telling him Crystal is mad at her for pulling a prank on her, she told him he was stuck with her which he replied with she currently has a girlfriend and they got together earlier that week. Iris went into shock mood she wanted to cry but she felt so numb to everything. She sent him a speech saying she doesn't want to be his friend and maybe they'll see each other in ten years. He replied saying he was kidding about the whole girlfriend thing; she was relieved but couldn't helo thinking if he was lying when he said he was kidding about it. She told him she has to sort things out and the next day one of his friends named Emily started calling her a clingy,annoying b****, Iris was used to the name calling but she thought Marcus was the one who told her those things so she told him if he had a problem with her tell her not his friends. Marcus denied saying he tells his friends nothing about her and that this relationship is not a "healthy" one; Iris agrees and they remain friends. On that same day Crystal forgives Iris and said she was just lucky to have her, Iris was about to respond but her mom called and Crystal left.

 

At midnight that day Iris sends him a message explaining what she was thinking. She told him she was surpposed to end this since last week but only hold on to the relationship because she likes "border-line sex" and free netflix she also added that she is really happy they ended it and doesn't want him in her life anymore because she serched for comfort in him when she could find that same comfort in herself...

 

Thats how me, Iris, ended up with barely any friends....and I am happy about it :)

I just felt like telling my story to see who may relate to it.

All of those events that were discussed are 100% true.

If you are going though the same thing keep your head up because they just want to see you break down and cry. Be strong and even if you aren't act like it that's what I do.
