In the previous post, I shared 3 difficult (well, I consider them difficult) situations. And now, in this second installment I’ll share the fourth situation. This just happened last night so it’s fresher than the other 3.
First, I want to discuss why I’ve decided to post this semi-personal matter. Semi-personal because it’s graver than the other 3 and this situation does not only bug my mind but also my conscience. Why? You’ll find out if you stay tunned.
But before anything else, I’d like to clarify that this post is comments off. Yes, I’m not encouraging you to react. The main reason why I posted this is because I need an outlet. I need to release my suppressed emotions because talking to my friends about this is not enough. I need more to keep myself at ease. I really need to this, so I hope you understand.
And I’ll appreciate it more if you comment on the previous post rather than this one, that’s only if you want to comment.
The reason (another reason, duh!) why I turned off the comments in this particular post is because the other person involved won’t be able to defend herself. This means that you’ll only be hearing (seeing, rather) my side of the story.
Situation Number 4 : A “Friend”
This situation is a no-turning-back situation because I won’t bend this time. I’m firm with the decision that I’ve made and will remain firm to my standing. Bitchy, huh?
As I’ve mentioned above, this just happened last night. My “friend” texted me and told me that she wants to borrow my swim wear and CAT belt.
I only reply about the belt. I left the swim wear question hanging. The reason? I don’t want to lend her my swimsuit! Isn’t it obvious? Yet she didn’t get that signal and texted me again about the swimsuit. Now I told her that it’s not a must to use a branded swim wear though it’s prescribed. I also included in my message that she can buy cheap swim wears in department stores which only costs around Php 300 – 500 ($ 6-10). She didn’t reply.
After spending some time pondering, I’ve realized that I’m wrong. (See, I’m not that bad) I texted her on my freewill just to say that I’m willing to give her my spare swimsuit.
Do you think the problem is solved there? Honestly speaking, it just started!
She replied on my message saying how thankful she is and whatsoever. She also included in that message when will I give it to her. Ok, this really pisses me off. I mean, for goodness sake she’s the one asking the favor and she had all this guts to answer me that way! But I calmly told her that I’m not available this Sunday (it’s the day she wanted to get the swimsuit) because I plan to sleep all day since I have Saturday classes. And it’s already 11pm that time and I have to wake up early because I need to be in school at around 8. I mean, if I’m going to hand it over to you on Sunday, that just mean I have to start searching for that damn swimsuit.
So, I told her that I’ll give it on Tuesday since I don’t have any classes on Tuesday. Then, she texted me back saying MONDAY. She really hit it this time, so I called her on the phone. I told her I CAN’T GIVE IT ON MONDAY BECAUSE I HAVE CLASSES!!!!! Then I hung up.
She once again texted me saying that she needs it on Tuesday.
Then, that’s it! I finally erupted! I told her that I won’t lend it to her because she wants to have it her way. And besides she’s the one who’s asking the favor! So why do I have to adhere to her conditions? Why do I have to follow? Why me? I’m the one being asked off the favor? So why do I have to adjust just for her sake? As far as I can remember, if you’re the one asking the favor, you must be willing to adhere to the conditions of the one you’re asking it.
After that she texted me again saying that I’m the only one she remembers that moment their swimming instructor told them about the swimsuit.
This just proves that she only knows that I existed in this world whenever she needs something from me. How great isn’t it? And sad to say, she already got the sympathy of my parents because she stopped going to school for a year because of financial problems.
I don’t want to be friends with her once again. I don’t want to be fooled by such a trickster like her (she has ways to get your sympathy).
PS: This is my side of the story. Sadly, she won’t be able to defend herself to my accusations.
