I’m gonna start this by saying life is strange. I’m not going to say my name so instead you can just call me: Hearts. I started a group with my friends where our nicknames are the symbols in a deck of cards, but i’ll get more into that later. I want to tell you everything from the beginning.
Freshman year
I started high school in 2015 which is when this story began. I met Spades in my Italian class after the teacher changed my seat next to her. The first thing I said to her was: “Hi, Do you like anime?”
When I saw her smile I knew this was a start to a good friendship. Spades is a hugger and she loved drawing. We were both interested in the art club together. I joined the art club, but since it was a hassle to get there in time from the freshmen only building, Spades would join later.
I met Diamonds through a mutual friend. He seemed like a nice person, and he is. We were not close during freshman year though. I only saw him when his friends went to the nearby store after school. I didn’t have many friends that year, so talking to those guys briefly kinda helped me feel less alone. He helped me understand that people will change and friends can grow apart. .
I used to see Clubs in the halls. He was a kid that I knew existed. We never talked because we did not have many classes together. There was just one, physics.
Sophomore year
Spades introduced me to her friend May and we formed our mini-group. In our trio, I liked to pair May with Diamonds and Spades with Clubs. In return, they paired me with an old friend named Kevin. That was also when we met their friend John, who was from another school.
Spades and Clubs in my mind were the cutest together. I knew they would eventually become a couple. I could see it from a mile away. They would talk to each other like they were in a romance movie. After Sophomore year, Diamonds moved away and I honestly never thought I’d ever see him again. I wasn’t very attached to him, but every once in a while we would have a really deep conversation.
One time, two girls came up to us and asked me if I’d ever date him. I replied, “It depends.”
He said, “Wrong answer.”
I thought I knew what he meant by that. He did not want to encourage them because they would not stop.
I responded with, “I mean if someone held a gun to my head, I’d have no choice.” That’s all that I remember from that day. That was the most we’ve interacted before he moved to a different state.
Junior year
Junior year, I got real life ghosted by my so called friend Kevin. If you don’t know what that means, it’s basically when someone just pretends they don’t know you anymore out of nowhere. I don’t care about that though. I’m not the type of person to cling to someone that strays away. I also noticed that Spades and Clubs were becoming closer. It was obvious that they had something, even if they didn’t know it yet.
May was getting used to the idea of moving across the country. We were also expanding our group to 3 other girls that were in a different subsection than us. We would all eat lunch together in the art room where we could have discussions without the noise of the cafeteria.
Senior year
Before I knew it, It was senior year and May was gone. The other girls told me that she was fake and that she talked about me behind my back. Imagine trusting someone only to find out that they really didn’t want to be friends with you or even like you for that matter. I cut her off, but I had to be careful because Spades had fond memories of her. The other girls were there for us, especially when I had a mental breakdown at lunch. It was because at that moment, I learned where I stood.
Earlier that day Kevin was bragging to me about having a girlfriend but refused to tell me who it was. She was my friend so she told me. I realised that we weren’t friends at all. I had trusted him with a lot of things and after knowing each other for 5 years he didn’t trust me. He didn’t even trust me with his birthday, I barely knew anything about him. We became perfect strangers. I don’t need him in my life, I have Spades.
Spades got a valentine from another boy. It was cute, but she didn’t like him back. It was around this time that we all started thinking about prom. Of course I knew that I was going with Spades.
At prom we ate, and danced, and since there were so many people that it got hot really fast. We went to the courtyard to get some fresh air. We saw Diamonds again and he asked us if we would help him get Clubs to dance. Luckily I had the perfect person for the job. Spades got him to dance in a matter of 10 seconds.
After prom, Everyone stopped caring. Unfortunately Clubs had technological issues with his phone and couldn’t call, text, or turn it on. He also lost the prom pictures we took with it. We were like zombies waiting for graduation. Graduation was a mess but that’s a different story.
