"best" friends

OMG! I was always wondering where would be a good place to rant, and I never thought of doing it here! @PrincessVivi gave me the idea to, because her recent post is bringing up a lot of anger I never realized I was keeping in about my "best" friends! -.-

So anyways, the first is of my best friend. He recently went to the States for college and I knew he was leaving, but he or any of our other friends never told me what day and time he was going. I felt so betrayed since he's been my best friend since 5th grade. I just knew that we were drifting apart because the whole group has always done stuff without me... :c He didn't even invite me to his most recent birthday party, and his mom even asked me why I didn't go. I just came up with a random excuse because I didn't want her to know that I didn't get invited at all. I guess that ends that friendship.

OH! BUT WAY BEFORE THAT! I had these two different group of friends which is different from the group that included the best friend that went to college. One group was almost all girls except for two guy friends, and the other group was all guys, keep in mind that they didn't know each other well. I hung out with my guy friends frequently and we used to walk around school for lunch, but I got tired and bored quickly and when we'd pass the spot my girl group of friends were at, I'd usually end up staying with them (truthfully more because I liked a girl from that group). Over time, because of me, the two groups slowly became one, and we couldn't be closer. I used to tell my best friend from the guy group everything and he knew I liked the girl. But then I realized that I didn't like her as much as I thought I did, and I told him that too. It's exaggerating to say that it was right after, but just a little time passed after that and he and the girl I used to like are GOING OUT! I mean, I know that I'm LOSING feelings for her, but there are still some left, you know?!

Over time, I distanced myself from that group because it was awkward and they started treating me like I was nobody. Later on when I bumped into my "best" friend, he had the gall to ask me why I didn't hang out with them anymore. Like NO DUH?! Also, the group also had a tradition of celebrating our other friends' birthdays and we'd go all out by chipping in and people brought stuff they made. By our next friend's birthday, I already found a new group. I got my lunch from the cafeteria and was passing the place where they hangout. Their hangout is close to this other group that I know because most of them were my grade and some of them rode the same bus I did. While I was talking to people from that 'bus-stop' group, some girls from my old group just came up to me and said, "OH! SO WHAT?! YOU'RE HERE FOR THE FREE FOOD?!" I didn't feel SO INSULTED in my entire life. I was such a nice person to them and that was how they treated me! 

Just to make it clear. There are five different groups mentioned here. 

1. Best friend from 5th grade's group.

2. Girls friend group (merged with Guys friend group).

3. Guys friend group (merged with Girls friend group).

4. Group after the merged group. *TRUE friends*

5. Bus-stop friends group. *TRUE friends*

That's why I'm happy that I have figured out who my true friends are. Sorry if anyone that reads this is confused about all my different groups. What can I say, I'm a very social person.
