Some people would do anything for a second glance from anyone who passes by. They just want attention, in the worst way too. It isn’t good enough for them to be noticed in a good light, they always have to do something extreme, and people judge them. They wonder why, why does everyone call me a slut? Why do people think I’d do anything for them if they tell me they can get me a deal on some coke? Attention is what everyone strives for, but do you have to be noticed like this? At first I was not really fazed by your extreme actions, but now you are just really starting to annoy me. Can’t you just stop and think about what you do before you act?
You know that I’m not the biggest fan of receiving attention. Then let me ask you why do you do this around me? Do you ever think about anyone besides yourself? I tell you everyday that your over-the-top actions make me feel uncomfortable. Then why wont you just listen, for once, and start noticing that I have feelings too! At first, when we were really good friends you never acted like this, and that is why I became such good friends with you. I felt like we could relate in so many different ways, but as we became closer and closer, I got to know you on a higher level. The things you did just really made me mad, and annoyed. You started to become someone I didn’t know, or didn’t want to know for that matter. I would try to avoid you by walking down the other hallway, or walking fast and getting to my next class early. However, you eventually caught up with me. You asked me what was wrong, and I totally ignored the fact that you were even there.
Just stay away, stop following me I'm trying to avoid you, I'm trying to be nice, but you may just make me snap. I don't want to hurt your feelings; I don't want to make you mad. I just want you to stop. Please, I don't want to raise my voice, I don’t want to yell, I really don't. But I'm screaming inside.
We had been such good friends; I know you can be a good friend. I had always had fun with you telling each other stories and slacking in earth science, but not anymore. I can't let you do this to me even though it is not your intention. It never was but its happening anyway my grades are slipping. I try to concentrate but you are just trying to get my attention. Sometimes you try so hard I think you give more attention to me than you get from anyone else. Everyone may give you at least a second glance just passing by, but you will give me a second, third and fourth glance. Well I don't like it, it’s too much.
We used to be such good friends, but not anymore.

Very powerful piece Kelly. Some lines that I found particularly moving:
"Please, I don't want to raise my voice, I don’t want to yell, I really don't. But I'm screaming inside."
"Everyone may give you at least a second glance just passing by, but you will give me a second, third and fourth glance. Well I don't like it, it’s too much."
Think about ways you can write for an audience as much as you write for yourself.
