Have
you ever felt as if you have to prove yourself to your friends? Like your
friends define who you are? Well that was exactly what Gia Montgomery felt.
Since her boyfriend Bradley is a UCLA student, her friends never believed her
when she talks about him, especially since whenever he was in town, he prefer
spending time with Gia alone. So on prom night, Gia was finally able to introduce
him to her best friends. But instead, he broke up with her right before. So she
was about to go to Prom, alone.
That’s
where Hayden comes in. He’s just an innocent bystander who was dragged into
being Gia’s fill-in boyfriend for the night. But instead of being just one
night, they developed a friendship which was more than what Gia asked for. But
instead of telling the truth to her friends, she kept with the lie, spinning
those around her in the web, which in the end caught herself.
Her
best friends refused to talk to her, so instead of wallowing in self-pity, she
decided to say f*ck it and started being friends with other people. There was
also the fact that her brother created a short film featuring her being
self-absorbed and shallow. So she wanted to change herself and she believed
that new friends are what she needed to do so. So she said goodbye to the
popular group and hello to the underclassmen.
The
moral of the story is that your friends DO NOT define you. So they don’t
believe you, SO WHAT? What matters is that you believe in yourself. Appreciate those
around you, especially those who are quiet but will be with you whenever you
call. Appreciate the guy who is willing to help a complete stranger because
that is what gentleman does.
But
most importantly, you don’t have to bow down to peer pressure. In Gia’s case,
she caved when her ‘best friends’ demanded to see her boyfriend and when she
couldn’t deliver, she just chose anyone that she believed would play the part. If
your friends really do care about you, they would not care about whatever
bullshit you sprouted because best friends would never judge you.
So
do me a favor and call your best friend and just talk to them. There are things
that you need to unload and so do they. Friendship should turn you into a
better person. Not turn you into an asshole just because you have to please
them.
