Re-Writes..."My Best Friend's Breakup"

“a few days before school started my best friend told me he had broken up with his girlfriend of four years over the summer. why was i the last person to know? because i always am. now i’m friends with both of them and i’m not sure how i should feel about this. i’m not a big “feelings” person. i talked to him about it and he said the breakup was mutual. i haven’t talked to her much though because i haven’t been up to my high school often. i never thought they would break up. they seemed like the perfect couple. i’ve been up to the school twice and seen her talking to some other guy. i don’t know what they were talking about. and i don’t what they were talking about. and i didn’t want to interrupt. it seemed really weird.”

sometime in '97, i don't remember the exact date.
