It was a late afternoon and I was at volleyball practice, working hard and doing my best. When it was water break, I looked at my phone and saw that I got a text message from my best friend. When I opened the text, I knew that was it. The end of our friendship. One mistake can ruin a friendship. As I went back to practice, all I could think about was how could I have done that to my best friend, after everything she has done for.
For many months, this problem between me and her has never been fixed. Since that day we never talked. Until one day, I asked if she still had my sunglasses. Out of all things I could have talked to her about, I asked for my sunglasses. How dumb was that! After one word responses, I finally had the courage to say sorry. Sorry for what I have done to her and hurting her feelings. Yes, she did forgive, but it still wasn't enough. There was more that I had to do for her to fully forgive me.
As club volleyball season started, you could feel the tension between her and I. We walked past each other like we didn't know each other. Yes, we were okay, but the friendship still wasn't there. I knew that the friendship we had before, was never going to be the same. Not like before.
Then one day, we ran into each other at the mall. I will never forget this day. This was the day, I got my best friend back. After many tears and apologies, she finally gave me a second chance. A second chance to be her friend again. Most people wouldn't give a second chance to their friends for the mistake I have made. I know that this was a once in a life time chance that I am given and I can't mess it up, again. I am a Sophomore in high school and I believe in second chances.
