Subject: His and I's Friendship, is it going to end?
On the 2nd to last day of school my best friend Erik and I, and a lot of our friends were playing a game of basketball. A guy named Lucus and his "gang" or "group of friends" were watching by the side. I walk away from the game for a minute or two. (I was talking to some other friends at the time). At random, I notice that the game stopped, and I asked what had happened and they told me that Lucus stole the ball, and went to a nearby basketball goal, and just stood on the court talking while glancing at us. One of (His and I's) friend walks over there and asks them why they took the ball. They said that Erik (My Friend) is a "fucking faggot", I think they ALSO called him a pussy too.

I got upset. (Although him and I had a few major bad arguments) I just decided to let the pass go, and defend him. I told my 'other' friend "Why can't they just say it to his face, if Lucus thinks he is so tough." My 'other' friend then tells me that he was going to tell them what I had said to Lucus and his friends. He walks over there and they converse for a minute. I walk over to see what they are saying. My friend was saying different out of this world type of things, that I did not even say. I wanted him to say what "I" had said, instead he made up everything to make it look like I said it.

I got more upset, and walked over to my friend (Erik). I said quote (I am Native American that what made me make this statement) "IF IT WAS ON THE REZ I WOULD HAVE KICKED THEIR ASSES ALREADY". Then his other best friend Brandon says "Why don't you go do it", I almost said why don't you, instead you tell me to go do things, when you are A LOT BIGGER THAN ME. After that Erik says "YOU TALK SO MUCH CRAP, YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT". After he said that he really freaking pissed me off bad. I wanted to beat him up. I got quiet and ignored his sorry told ass.

I defended him, and he says that to me. I don't know what to do, we are going to high school this year (9th) and I don't know whether or not I can continue to bear with this ordeal (HIS TALK CRAPPING AND NO BACK-UP WHICH I HAVE TO DO).

Hey.

It sounds like it was a big miscommunication. I think that it might be a good idea to call him up and see if he is still upset, and explain what happened on your end. Hopefully he will explain his side too and you will both understand where each other were coming from.

As for if you guys can still be friends, only the two of you can decide that. Hopefully if you let him know where you are coming from, no more problems will come up. Its also possible that you guys could continue to be friends, but not as good of friends as you have been in the past. Sometimes people grow apart, for whatever reason. It doesn't mean the two of you cannot hang out with each other, or in the same group of friends.

Good luck. I know how it is to not know where you and a friend stand. I am sure it will work itself out in time on its own. But, if you can be the bigger person and give Erik a call, I am sure things will work out better, and quicker for that matter.
