Ode to The Trio

DISCLAIMER: The events depicted in this scene are fictitious. Said events are not factual (namely, The Freak is not an ax murderer, only.. well, crazy; The Emo is not actually emo; she is only sad and scary, and The epileptic does not actually have epilepsy... he merely has spaz attacks aka "seizures"). BUT it IS factual that the characters depicted ARE leaving their best friends.

THE TRIO.

THE FREAK.

THE EPILEPTIC.

THE EMO.

This is an ode to three of my very best friends in the world. I recently attended the graduation of the Epileptic and the Emo and will be attending the Freak's next week. This is bittersweet. The sweet part: They are done with childhood, leaving the nest, and moving on to bigger things and different people. The bitter part: They are done with childhood, leaving the nest, and moving on to bigger things and different people.

I know. sad isn't it?

Anyways... Yeah. These are the people that helped shape me into who I am today. They legitly (thats a word.. it is. trust me.) contributed to the life that is Medwards. Really.

So.. im trying to figure out how to write this. Im not really great at sentimental stuff but im going to attempt to anyway.

The Critic is my very best friend. She is opinionated and she's gonna do things her own way... She is also my very best friend, but it wasn't always that way... We used to hate each other. Like, really. We hated each other's stinkin guts. I saw her as mean, arrogant, and condescending. She saw me as immature and rude. It wasn't until around 7th grade that she and I really got along. We had a common friend and eventually saw that we were both stupid and should get over ourselves. Now we have completely different views of each other. Its weird how perspectives change once you view things in a different light. So SYNOPSIS: we hated each other. saw we were both really dumb. Grew really close. and now shes my best friend. It's strange how things work out that way...

ANYWAY. Now i can begin the ode.

The Emo and I have been friends for the longest out of the three, but it didn't start out that way. In the beginning, i was scared of her. Yep. Scared. As in afraid. She was really quiet, older than me, and really tall. These are three frightening things to a young Meds. Truely. But eventually the Critic introduced me to the Emo and I got to know her. It took time, but i got over my fear (and im glad i did... cuz it would be awkward if i was scared of one of my best friends... Just sayin') and we grew really close. And I thank the Lord for THAT! :D

Soon After, the Emo introduced me to her friends, the Freak and the Epileptic. The Freak and I bonded really quickly (probably because we are seriously alike...) but the Epileptic and I kinda took some more time to get used to each other, I guess. But I am getting ahead of myself.

The Freak is this great chick that I sometimes have a hard time dealing with. (again.. because she is exactly like me... Seriously. Its freaky. ahahahaha no pun intended...) But I love her to death anyway... She is loud, grand, and the life of the party. (All traits that i value...) She and I have this thing about silences... Im worse about it, but she is still pretty bad... The rest of the trio has no problem sitting at a dinner table and just eating... In silence. no talking. All you hear is clanking silverware and a slurp of a noodle or gulping of a drink every now and then. We cant stand it.. and i also don't know how they can... Its unnerving... So, we feel that its our duty to keep the conversation moving along with an awkward "soooooooo...." every now and then. Oh yeah. Me and the Freak. We Rule.

So that brings us to the Epileptic... Oh there is so much to say.... He and I really didn't click extremely well in the beginning... I mean, we didn't dislike each other... We just didn't really pursue any further relationship than a "hi" or a "sup?" Then eventually I realized that I was really great friends with everyone of the group except the Epileptic... I guess I made a subconscious decision to change that... idk... but all of a sudden I decided to pursue a more real and deep relationship... and It really has gotten to be one of my closest friendships that I have... If not THE closest... So I mean Im glad we finally got things going! Oh... and the seizure thing... Well I forgot to mention... this kid is weird... like really. He has these INSANE facial expressions that i cant even attempt to comprehend. He brings them out quite often, mostly when something is said that is freaque (pronounced free-kay... just sayin....), and we have slowly noticed that his expression looks a lot like a seizure... so we say that one day hes gonna be showin off the face and hes gonna have a seizure and no one will be able to tell the difference and he will die. really.

OHHH... I ALMOST FORGOT THE HIPPIE.

The Hippie's story is more recent... At least It is for me... I met her in about 5th grade... We never really talked. She had a different friend group so we had quite different paths... It wasn't until recently that she and I became close. I really think that our drama troupe has a lot to do with that. We had a few skits together and we really clicked. She isn't hard to get along with and she and I get along really well! She and I also share a love for A Very Potter Musical by Starkid (Its on youtube.) and constant fake slaps and quotes make up our time together. Which is great. :D

SOOOOOOOO...

The Trio is, as i mentioned, graduating... So the Hippie, the Critic, and I, the Diva (apparently Im a diva... or at least they think I am... whatever. I just need a Snickers.) belong to the TRIO 2.0... which will be replacing the TRIO after this summer. I will be the new Freak, the Critic will replace the Epileptic, and the hippie will be filling in for the Emo.

Crazy isn't it?

Anyway... this is longer than i intended it to be.. so, guys... Im so glad to have been apart of your journey to adulthood. I love all three of you and I'm proud to call you my friends.
