Dear Not So Friend of Mine,
Usually I would take the time and introduce myself however in this scenario we have been acquaintance before. You see, good or bad, you still know exactly who I am. Unfortunately, the specific reason to why you know me isn’t who I really am.
You know me, as the girl who constantly took the guy you were interested in as he would bounce between both of us without telling either one. You know me, as the girl who you hated seeing at every party or on social media. However, you know nothing about me as a person, all the things I like and dislike. You don’t know that I have a core set of girlfriends just like you, who enjoy both staying in and going out. You don't know that eating food or watching the Patriots, sometimes at the same time, are the way to my heart. You don’t know that I am never on time or that my sister is my best friend. You don’t know that Martha’s Vineyard is my favorite place in the world. All these things that make me who I am and you never had the opportunity to get to know.
In this world, no one is ever going to be obligated to be friends with someone they don’t like. However, after spending my first year at college I began to reevaluate my past. I started to look at those I never got along with, and figuring out how to fix all the bridges I burned. I don’t expect to get anything in return. Allowing you to understand that the past will be the past with me is enough.
I know you may have been caught off guard by this as I am the last person you would ever expect to be sending you something. At the end of this all, I want you to know that I am sorry. I truly apologize for everything. I also want you to know that I never really hated you, I let a boy get inside my head and begin controlling my emotions.
With this all this said, I hope you enjoy your summer and that everything is going well. I may see you around, I may not. All I can say is that, this is all behind me. Oh and by the way, that boy we fought over, he’s moved on and has a girl of his own. At the end of the day, the fighting wasn’t worth it.
Sincerely,
The Girl You Disliked
P.S. I hope you know that everyone always said we would have been really good friends as they thought we were same person.
