Sometimes friendships can be surprising and unexpected. Have you ever become BFFs with someone you used to hate?

   I know I’ve had friends who are really nice, and then we seperate in the third grade or something.  And some people aren’t so bad, no matter what they were like as children.  People change as they get older, for better or worse.

   I know that when I look back at how I used to think about my two BFF’s, I thought they were just about the weirdest people I knew and I never even thought about being friends with them. But I love more than anything right now, and that proves my point in saying that nobody wants to be friends with someone who is exactly like them.  I mean, I was friends with Amanda, and we were soooo different from each other, but that’s what made it work. And you guys are also totally different from Amanda, but you were all friends with her anyway, right?

   It’s amazing but you can actually find friends were you least expected and become friends with who you least expect too. Back in 4th grade there was a new transfer student who I dislike a whole lot. I don’t remember why but I just stayed away from her and didn’t talk to her at all. I think it was because we were polar opposites. It was in 5th grade when we were assigned a group project and we were paired up. We worked pretty well together, made a good team. After that we started hanging out. So when she transferred to another school at the end of the year I was very sad.

   Funny enough, I had to move at the beginning of the next year and we ended up being neighbors. We became best friends and were inseparable.

   Yep! Two of my friends right now,used to be my enemies.

   Maybe that was Amanda’s plan after all to make us realize that under all our differences,there’s something in all of us that makes us the same.

   i think that amanda put hal nia and callie together because even without the clues they can beable to find amanda. these three people who used to not be able to agree with eachother are suddenl peicing together what happened and are finding out other people who have had encounters with amanda even by accident. For example when callie and hal went to the all ages club and callie had to go to the bathroom it was nothing more then a coincidence that she found a messege…

   When I came downstairs this morning my parents were watching the news as normal. My dad got up to make breakfast, and turned off the tv. But right before the tv turned off I swear I heard the news achor say Amanda’s full name. I hurried to turn it back on, but they had moved on to another story. Did anyone else see that news story this morning, or am I going insane?

   This story is kind of the opposite…when I was little I used to be friends with this guy from my pre-school. Anyways as we got older I started to hate him ( I still do) anyways our sisters are the same age and BFF’s. Plus we are also in the same class…so I kinda have got to co opperate.

   In other news-I watched the news with my dad this morning. The story was about the zoo. On the cheetah written in pink spray paint was:regardez où vous mineurs l’attendez-Amanda Valentino. I translated it to mean: look where you least expect it, in french. Does Amanda want us to look where we least expect her to be-if so where to we least expect her to be?

   Yep, but of course then in highschool she turned my entire gradeschool class(Only 30 ppl)agianst me and then i had no friends in highschool…. well until like the second day. i think you have to give the bullies a cahnce right, but then be careful, if they r anything like the girl i was friends with… she might just stab u right back in the back… so look out!

   When I started home schooling I got introduced to a girl. I didn’t really like her at first. She seemed so popular to me. She also hung out with the guys all the time and amitted she didn’t really like me either. But a year after we became REALLY good friends! We love each other now, like a friend of course.
   Maybe Amanda wanted to bring three completely diffrent friends together. No matter how popular or unpopular,weird or normal (what is normal? By the way.), and so forth.Sure there will be bumps in the road bacause they are diffrent. But honestly who is better? You friends who you relate to or you friends who you used to know well but no sure who they are anymore. It’s hard to explain what I’m try to say. But do you atleast get what I’m going at?

    when i first came to my new school in like 6th grade i made some friends. they were nice but kinda excluded me but i stuck with them anyways. the next yr i was partnered up with this girl i dint like so much. we were to lab partners for the whole yr. i didnt like her bc she was kinda prickly and so much smarter than me and i just felt stupid. (shes a whole lot like nia). it was clear she didnt like me either. but we had to learn to expect eachother and after a few months we were rely good friends and now (a yr later) we r best friends. during those few months i had also started hanging out with her big group of friends. and my first friends who were excluding me now are my best friends too. so i think you just need to meet everyone and rely talk to them before you start choosing friends and dont judge them by first impressions alone.

    Amanda was smart, she knows how opposites attract in the oddest of situations.  I think that Amanda is the connector piece to the 3 of you guys.  It was like that for me when I moved here.  I met a girl on my street and by a mutual friend, I met my bff!!! I never thought I could ever be friends w/ her because she was so popular but is turns out she was normal just like me!!!!

    Not so much friends from enemies, but enemies from friends!

13. Loujaine13483 12.21.2009

    Nia,
    Me and my firend Mike used to hate each other soo much in 6-7th grade. We were like the worst enemies ever! The on the last day of 7th grade, he pushed me off the slide thing on the park and I landed on the woodchips pretty hard. He apoligized and I gave him a brownie for no reason. Till this day were buds, but we have a few arguments here and there.

    Okay so we know that so many people can become friends after being enemies…the thing is that is natural!  I think that Amanda was a little smarter then that.  If she brought them together, then it was for a more important reason then because she thought they would make good friends!  I think it prob was because she thought they would find a way together to find her.

15. Emmalee 12.22.2009

    Yes, Nia. I had a girl who for no reason that i could figure out didn’t like me. then a few years later, she pretended to be my friend only when it suited her or she got something out of it. Then I left for a few years and now that I’m back we are like best friends. It’s funny how some things work out huh? :)

16. Mnyca1213 12.23.2009

    the same thing happened to me and now we r neighbors too

17. chmivita1234 12.25.2009

    I have had some friends that i have for like ever and then they get mad and then she hates me and then like 1-2 moths later she is liek BFF’s with me!!!!!

18. miswera 12.26.2009

    My BFF is a girl I used to hate. What’s really weird is I never though I would hang out with her and her group coz I’ve always found it easier to get along with the guys. Somethings are just a mystery…

19. Jypsie 12.26.2009

    My BFF is someone I’ve known for 13 years because we were both in emergency housing when we were two haha I used to fall down the stairs to see her every morning… then turn blue and be taken to hospital where they said it was nothing lol
    but I’ve got a really solid group of friends, we’re kind of a but mis matched though Georgie’s a boff Tina’s a goth Roshans a optimist and georgias a fashion icon… but I wont get started on Ket Lizbob, Ellie and well a few odd [removed] who I’ve become close too lol
    but I always seem to be the one who gets the most detentions and so on… very unfair, I can’t help but express my feelings especially when it comes to the shoddy philosophy of Heraclitus haha :P

20. Jacks_bot 12.27.2009

    Yeah. See, the guy I’m dating? We used to hate each other. Our animosity was practically legendary. And now? Wellllll… I can’t imagine life without him.

    I think Amanda knew that if Callie, Nia, and Hal were the people she’d come to call her friends, that they would be able to be friends with eachother. And I’ve also noticed that they each have something in common with Amanda. Callie likes math, Nia has a cool vintage style, and Hal enjoys traveling and drawing. All aspects of Amanda. She seems to be able to find at least one thing in common with each of her friends. coincidence? i think not

22. Cheerleader 12.29.2009

    My best friend and I hated each other. We used to make fun of each other, I would call him Banana Boy(long story). And then we were in the same class and stared bonding. Now two years later hes my best friend. We are insperable, but not like we like like each other. But somtimes you need to keep your heart open to new friends just like Callie did with Nia and Hal.

    No one in our family has seen or heard from Amanda or my dad in six years now. We were best friends when we were younger, until our parents had the divorce and i moved in with our mom and she moved in with her dad. Both Amanda and my dad disappeared and lost contact with us…

24. raven_weirdo 01.05.2010

    No but someone that felt like a best friend or at least we called each other that I know hate. It was third grade we were best friends ,both popular and cheerleaders . the next year was kind of ruff ,at the end of the year my other friend that was friends with her said that she had had enough of the girll and I figured out I had to ,she was always bosing as around and spreding roumors around i finally got it all of my chest and i didnt even raise my voice at her but now we hate each other

25. Jazzy0x 01.08.2010

    I think Amanda knew something was gonna happen to her and she brougth us together because she wanted us to find out what happened to her and she wanted US becuse we all knew her. Despite her flowing freely attitude to life, I think Amanda had a lot more going on in her life than she let on. She had the courage to wan more for us than she di herself and that’s what brought us together.

26. Pipper 01.14.2010

    well, once, my bff called me thick and we hated each other forever and like now we’re bffs, she even got me an xmas prezzie though we hardly c eachother, and not alot of peeps gimme xmas prezzies

27. emily_n_123 01.14.2010

    i have never bin a bff with someone i used to hate cos our school is such a tiny school and i dont hate that many people

28. trumpetgirl 02.18.2010

    One of my best friends ever I use to be really jealous of. I actually thought she was mean, and annoying (even though I didn’t really know her). But then she was in another of my friend’s class, and I got to know her. The next year she was in my class, and we became pretty good friends. And we still are today. It just goes to show you that friendships can come from anywhere, because honestly, I never knew I would become friends with that person when I first saw them.
