Sorry for not updating earlier. I could have had at least 2 more chapters done by now, but I've been a lazy bean. Plus, I'm working on an HP for my story collection. Read it when it's up!

Massie's Guide to Friends

by OCD's Queen Bee

Visiting my blog again? Knew you would. It's me! If you would like to know, me and Alicia did end up going to the mall. We even "accidentaly" bumped into Derrick. It's obvious that he saw what I posted and made sure we met in front of Louis Vuitton. He totally loves me. Who agrees?

Anyway, now I will be writing about friends. How to maintain a good status with your friends, how to tell apart fake friends from real friends and how to actually make friends. I'm sure a lot of you will find this very useful. -Cough- LBRs -Cough-

Tip #1

In order to maintain order in your social group, always be nice to them. Be generous if you have any poor friends, like I do. Don't act like they're a charity case or anything. Just buy them a drink or a movie ticket here and there. Throw parties that your friends (and everyone else) will never forget. It will both make you a "mini-hero" with your inner group and the spotlight at school the Monday after.

Tip #2

Another thing about friends, they never backstab each other. No talking about them behind their backs, no matter if it's good or bad. Unless you're trying to set her up with a cute boy, that is. Frontstabbing LBRs and EWs is permitted though. As they're obviously not your friends.

Tip #3

Friends never ask each other for money too much. It's okay if maybe they need a few dollars for a lunch and you know they will pay you back. It's not okay if they ask you to buy them a cool computer or cellphone. Nothing expensive unless you want to. If they keep asking you for overly expensive things, it's most likely they're using you.

Tip #4

Real friends never ever steal crushes. If your friend is completely aware that you like a certain guy but she goes after him anyway, she's not a real friend.

Tip #5

Boyfriends are the same as crushes. They're off-limits. Ex-boyfriends are the same. No touch the (ex) boyfriend.

Tip #6

If you ever suspect that one of your friends is secretly working with an enemy, investigate. It happened to me when Alicia tried to start her own clique. Check for any club items like Alicia's fake scarves. If they do turn out to be a spy, don't tell them any other secrets of yours but don't drop them. They could the rest of your secrets to their "other leader" and then it would be chaos.

Tip #7

Making friends is easy. If you're a new kid, try being nice to everyone. Obviously that was not my approach, but it's best if you're new and don't have any friends at all. Talk to everyone.

Tip #8

If you need a pencil or pen, ask the person next to you. Look for anything on their desk that might show a common interest that you two have and point it out. Talk about that certain subject and soon you'll have a brand-new friend!

Tip #9

Friends are there to confide in and always have fun with. Don't waste it by being a bad friend to them. Be the best friend you can be. Yeah, that sounded like one of those KLRN shows.

Post a review! My comments are closed for now, but they will be up for the next guide. Sorry to all of my close friends! Send me an e-mail instead, okay? Especially you, Derrick.

I was bored when I wrote this, so I'm not sure if it turned out as great as I wanted it to. Please post a review.
