When I was 5 I lost a friend. We were best friends and his dad worked at a circus, so they moved a lot. One day he shoved two bubblegums down my letterbox (we used to talk through it because my parents were always asleep when he wanted to come over xD) and said that he's going away. Haven't seen him since
I think I saw him a year ago though, at the mall in a circus van that had big posters of a touring circus. There was a boy and an older man in the van and they handed me a poster, and he looked at me in a strange way and I almost felt it was him. >.< Damn circus kidnapped him!
When I was in grade 5, I think it was, my best and only friend at the time ditched me. The thing was, this guy was a total dick, but I stood up for him, and I lost chances to be friends with many other people because of him. So when he ditched me, basically I was left completely alone for about three years. I still hate him to this day.
oh, and in grade 10, I wouldn't call him a best friend, but one of the only people I spoke to much, moved away. Haven't spoken with him since. He didn't bother to give me any address or e-mail, either. I feel pretty neutral about this one though, because it didn't really have any negative repercussions. If anything, it forced me out of my shell a little. I think that was probably around the time I joined onRPG, actually.
I've never had a friend die though.
Sorta. My best friend in 5th/6th grade was an awesome kid. We always talked about DBZ and hung out and played videogames together. Then I moved and we started drifting, and then finally we just didn't talk at all. Then the other day I found him on Myspace and decided to talk to him and he didn't seem interested at all. Meh.
