My parents are really pissed off, because I told them what happened and they somehow see it as my fault. They say if I hadn’t gotten in such a “silly argument” (their words) with my friends none of this would have happened.
I just feel stupid. I know Odin is a whiz with computers, but i really thought that he wanted to stop this whole mess that we’re in. I thought he was sincere. Anyway, so while I’m glad you got your digs in with mick, that whole incident is probably what sent him over the edge and is why my parents hate me now and my computer is ruined. Did you have to make the dude cry?
i’m sorry sarah. i don’t mean to be upset with you, but I’m just having a really crappy couple weeks okay, and this completely takes the cake. I don’t think things could get much worse.
i’m out,
eric

Subject: S.A.R.A.H (Succubus All Rarin for Ass Humping)
This a message out there for all those guys whos friend is dating some phukin chick u cant stand. now, some of u may know the situation at hand. namely, my best dude in the whole world was seduced by this succubus, who pretends to like him. minute i call dude out on what kind of chick she is, he flips out and starts a fight with me. some best friend, huh?
but dude was just under the influence of this cunt who seems all sweetness and light when in reality she is biatch ho who just wants to get a piece however she can. so, some of u out there, who do know the situation have said that ive been against sarah all along just because my main man mick wants her. well, i havent wanted to do this, seeing how miss s-thang succubus is my girl’s bf. but this has gone far enuff, and i gotta come clean.
alright, it all started a couple weeks ago at a party at josh’s house in reetown. now, chick knows i got a girlfriend, because my girlfriend is her best friend. but while my chick is tryin to get punch at the party, succubus cunt comes up to me and is all tryin to get on my nuts. im like babe, this is not cool, i got a chick and arent u worried about hurtin her feelings? succubus says she’s not. she says dana gets everything and that she liked me before dana, but that dana got me before she got a chance and how much she should be with me. see, according to the two-faced cunt, dana is actually way too dumb for me and what was i thinkin anyway? i should see that sarah is actually right for me.
so, i get the girl off my back, and i think, we’re at a party, alcohol is marginally involved here, so maybe i’ll just let this slide and forget about it. But then, at the party my girl throws, i run into s-bitch again. and this time, she’s all, “Look, tristan, i thought u liked me, how can u and mick be so against eric and me?” I told her i didn’t like how unloyal she was to her own best friend. i told her i didn’t trust her with my friend eric. she said, “eric likes me okay, so that’s why i’m with him, and he’s kind of intelligent and he’s the only guys who’s ever been attracted to me. i needed practice. but really, i’m still really attracted to u, and since you pissed dana all off why don’t u guys break up and i’ll break up with eric and we can be together.”
Well, look biatch. i let it go again that night, but not anymore, aight? u need to get ur crap together. stay away from eric. he deserves a crap load better than ur stupid cuntness. and i just wanted everyone to know the kind of chick that ur all defending. Okay?
out,

Subject: That’s just ridiculous
Dana, he’s lying. He’s lying. I didn’t ever say that.
Look, what really happened is that at the party, I was drunk and hanging out with Tristan for a while. We started talking about you. And you know that when I first saw Tristan I thought he was cute, because I told you. But when stuff started happening between you guys, I totally let that all go. I just told him that I used to have a crush on him. And he said, “Yeah, well, you’re smarter than Dana is, so we might have worked out all right, but what happened happened.” I didn’t say you were dumb, but I did admit that I make better grades than you. But that doesn’t mean you’re dumb. It just means you’re into other stuff. Tristan was the one who said that. He didn’t say you were dumb, he just said that some stuff involving certain kinds of thinking weren’t your strong point. And I never said anything to him about wanting to be with him at your party. I just wanted to know why he was so pissed off at Eric and me. I did say something about how before I got together with Eric, I thought about how he really liked me and I wished I could be with someone who I really liked. But then I realized I really liked Eric.
Tristan just called me a bunch of names and ran off that night. I never tried to hit on him. Never, ever, ever.
Please believe me it was nothing like he said it was. You know me, Dana. I would never do anything like that, I swear.

Subject: hey there doll
dana, i’m really sorry, but she is seriously editing the truth there. she’s admitting to some of the stuff she did but not all of it. look, i didn’t want to have to do this, okay? i didn’t want to hurt u and i really didn’t want to hurt eric. but i finally decided everyone needs to know the truth.
so i’m sorry doll. i really am. i just wish that i was making it up. dana, u know how much i care about u. would i do something like this to u just for a dumb reason? would i make u turn against ur best friend for mick menel? think long and hard about that, aight, doll? and sweetness, if u really think that i could do that, then believe sarah. but if not, then u’ll realize the truth.
think—what do i have to gain by makin this up? nothing. what does sarah have to gain by lying about it? everything. if not, she loses her boyfriend and her best friend which is pretty much all she’s got going for her right now. so—just think about it, okay?

Subject: how could u?
sarah,
i’ve given this alot of thought and i’ve listened to everything that tristan has to say (not just that e-mail, but other stuff) and i’m sorry, but it does make sense. i know u do think ur smarter than me and i know u did think tristan was cute. i also know that u wanted him. and just because u said that u didn’t when i was dating him doesn’t mean u didn’t still feel it. i just wish u had been honest with me, because then we could have worked through this 2gether, but now i see that u just couldn’t face it and had to go behind my back.
i thought we were best friends and we would be best friends forever. i guess i just trusted u too much.
i don’t want this to go any further. why don’t u and i just not speak anymore and everything will be cool as far as i am concerned. i will get tristan to leave u and eric alone. that is, if he’ll still be with u.
l8er—no wait.
goodbye,

Dana, i do not believe this. I waited for you at lunch today, and then I get this and it all makes sense. How can you possibly think I did that to you? Don’t you know how much our friendship means to me? I would never hit on Tristan. I never did hit on Tristan. Can’t you see that this is just one more attempt by him and Mick to break me up with Eric? Mick is really angry with me since our “date” and he is trying to destroy me. I just can’t believe it’s working.
I thought we decided we weren’t going to let our boyfriends get in the way of our friendship. Please, Dana, you know me better than anybody else I know. You have to realize that none of this is real and that I would never behave the way Tristan is saying I did.
Dana, you’re my best friend in the whole wide world. I am crying while I write this. I can’t believe you’re turning against me.
Still LYLAS,
Sarah

Subject: i’m confused
sarah, tristan forwarded an e-mail that you wrote to dana to me. you said that you wished you could be with someone you really liked, even though I liked you. Sarah, I thought you really did like me.
And what’s this about having a crush on Tristan? You like Tristan?
I don’t want to believe that you would try to be with Tristan and not me. I know that in the first e-mail, he probably twisted some stuff a little. But it sounds like enough of it is true for me to not know how I feel. Can I trust you?
Is our story going to be a tragedy? Like Camelot?

Subject: eric, don’t be silly
You know that Tristan edits e-mails he forwards. He did it to your e-mail. Look, I didn’t save a copy of the e-mail, and I don’t know what he sent you, but that stuff about wanting to be with someone I really liked—that was before I knew who you were. I didn’t get to know you until that night at the bowling rink.
And yes, a very long time ago, I might have thought Tristan was cute, but once he was my best friends boyfriend, I didn’t see him the same way anymore.
I would never even have the guts to try and hit on Tristan. I’m a very shy girl. And on top of all of that, I never would have done it. I am too loyal to Dana and I’m too loyal to you.
Eric, please. You know how much I love you. I didn’t think that you would believe him. I can’t believe that you would think anything he says is true about me? After everything he’s done to you?
It doesn’t have to be a tragedy, Eric. It’s up to you.
Love,
Sarah

Dude, Sarah’s always been straight with me. And I can’t see her trying to hook up with you, especially while she was dating me. We have something very special.
