Have you ever had a friend that you thought was your real friend but they turn out to be a fake friend? Have you ever had a friend turn on you? Have you ever had a friend that took your boyfriend or girlfriend? Have you ever had a friend that would set you up for failure? Have ever had a friend that laugh to your face and then turn around and stab you in the back? Well that, my friend, is what you call a “fake friend.” We all have those types of friends, and it is just a matter of time before you find out who your fake friends are and who your real friends are. Let me tell you about a time in my life when I thought my so called “friends" were really my true friends.

One day, my boyfriend and I were on the phone, and he told me that one of my friends wanted to go out with him. Just like any other girlfriend would, I immediately got upset and went to confront the girl. The next day, when I got to school, I told all my friends what my boyfriend had told me and they started saying that the girl already had a boyfriend and that she would never do something like that.

That’s when I start thinking to myself that the girl would never do something like that to me because she was my friend.

Or so I thought.

I say that because we went out to eat together, we shared secrets, we went over each other's houses, and she even talked to my family. So why would I even suspect her of talking to my boyfriend or trying to go out with him? I started to feel guilty for accusing her... until he sent me the screenshots of her admitting she wanted him.

So, of course, my feeling of guilt flew out the window, and after that, I was furious. During home room, I went up to the girl and ask her about it and she lied to me! She lied right to my face. She even had one of our mutual friends defending her.

So here I was, in home room, ready to go ham on both of my so call “ friends.” I mean it is one thing to deny what happened, but it is another thing when you have proof that your friend likes your boyfriend.

You would think that since I had proof that one of my friends was trying to talk to my boyfriend, my other friends would not take up for her because she knew she was wrong. However, that was not the case. This just proved to me that I had to be careful whom I trusted. The girls that I thought I could trust didn't really have my best interest at heart--they were just snakes in the grass trying to bring me down.
