The Butterfly Effect

by electricity.escape

Just because we were popular and fought, didn't mean we did not care. We were real friends. And now, things were tolerable, but just not the same. The rest of the eighth grade, told from the members of a now non-existent Pretty Committee. Post PSILY.

1. Prologue

-The Butterfly Effect-

What if:

- I never decided to speak to that girl (second row, fourth seat to the left) in History Class

- I never answered that IM in sixth grade

- I never ran off with Olivia at the Hell Freezes Over party

What would have changed?

Would it be easier to let go?

As evil and conniving she was, they were, it was impossible to ignore them. It's impossible to just simply break a friendship.

And we sit in five different corners of the cafeteria- some in closer proximity to one another- trying to out "I'm having more fun than you with my new friends" each other.

And as we remind ourselves that so-and-so did this-and-that, we realize one thing-

It's just not the same.
