I met Red when I was in the 9th grade. She was a 7th grader back then, we both are girls. She was just a completely normal, extroverted, and beautiful kid. We instantly connected. You know those friendships where you can just talk for hours and hours about absolutely anything? We used to laugh until tears came out, and it was all so beautiful. Until .....

In 10th grade, I got into school anchoring and debates. It turned out I was really great at my work, not losing a single competition. Every teacher, the principal, and even the school manager loved and adored me like anything. But , I started noticing a slight shift with Red It wasn't something you could see with your eyes, it was just a gut feeling. Thinking she just wanted to get included into what I was doing, I guided her with my bestest. I coached her, and she managed to get into anchoring, though debates were too tough a call. For the next two years, everything went smoothly. Or so I thought.

The Dynamic Shifts By the time I was in 11th grade and Red was in 9th, we started spending more time with another of my class best friend Blue, we went on the same school bus. Blue was the kind of girl with high morals, elegance, and sophistication. I admired her like anything, and though we shared conflicts of interests often, things were pretty good overall. At least that is what I thought.

That year, a guy entered my life and we became good friends. He was kind, funny, intellectual, and a feminist, which made me respect him even more. Suddenly, Blue and Red started behaving so weirdly. They kept telling me how boys are not good and started warning me that he is a manipulator. I understood they were coming from a place of concern and respected their opinion, but I continued my friendship anyways.

Then, Red’s behavior took a really dark turn. She started coming to me with new stories about how she was insanely in love with her cousin who was 5 years older than her, and how they eventually got sexually involved. Out of concern, I explained to her that she is a minor and this is harmful, but she told me it was consensual, so I chose to no more intervene.

Then came a really messy patch of life. One time, while telling me explicit sexual details, Red got her hands on me and touched me inappropriately. I was so shocked that I couldn't even react. It was a horrible experience, i don't wanna go in details but I eventually forgave her, thinking she is a teen and it is just a mistake. We got back to normal.

The Darkest Valley: Mental Agony and Trauma At school, I was practically at the top in everything I did, including studies. Life was going good, but then a very rough patch of time hit me hard due to family conflicts. To make things unspeakably worse, I got sexually assaulted in my sleep by one of my relatives. It was a deeply traumatic time for me, and I went into an intense depression. By the end of 11th grade, I was a complete mess. I was crying and getting panic attacks every single day. My self worth was entirely broken. I didn't tell anyone about the SA part, and the weight of keeping that secret buried inside me was eating me alive.

Those months were the most excruciating, painful time of my life. The mental suffering became so heavy that my brain once turned completely suicidal. I just didn't want to exist anymore. The pain in my chest was constant, and the only coping mechanism I had left was to completely isolate myself off from the entire world. I stopped going to school, locked myself away, and stared into the dark, completely broken. Meanwhile, outside my room, people started talking and making rumors. When I finally forced myself to go back to school in the beginning of class 12th, I got to know that Blue and Red had started hanging out quite much. I actually felt happy for them, thinking they were finally making peace.

Then came a competition in which we all three participated. They got medals, and I got a chance to give a speech at a prestigious inauguration of railways in my city. When we were being felicitated in the school, they got their medals and I got nothing because my purpose was just the speech. The principal saw me standing there with nothing and decided to take the mic. She praised me so much in front of everyone, saying that I was the only one selected by the authorities for the speech and only our school got a chance. I felt grateful. But the moment we got off stage, Red spoke out of pure aggression:

>"Ham to chutiye hain na sara praise usko milgaya." (Translation: are we dumbfucks? She got all the praise)

Grieving and extremely hurt, I went to Blue, only to go into utter shock hearing her claim that Red is absolutely right. She felt that the school is biased to give me all the good opportunities and praise while they work hard but get ignored. I first tried to console her, thinking she is just upset and maybe I am the wrongdoer here. But then I used my brain and realized the truth, and I told her that everyone gets what they deserved.

The Campaign of Terror From there, things completely shifted. Both of them started showing their real faces, bullying me by saying I am a puppet of the school and that I don't deserve the things I get. They took away all of my happiness. At one point, they even made me cry in front of the whole bus, and all I felt was helpless. They targeted all my vulnerabilities possible, saying things my heart couldn't take. They spoke about how the situation at my home makes me a vulnerable girl, attacking me every way possible. I was already struggling so hard just to stay alive after the trauma, trying to heal, but their toxicity pushed me right back into that same dark, dangerous state. I couldn't take it anymore and decided to shut them off. I completely cut off both of them, stopped hanging out, and stopped being with them. That is when they started the victim blaming. They used to sit and laugh so loud, talking about me and whispering in the bus. I heard it all, but I still chose peace over drama. I got along with better friends and hanged out with them, and they were gold. They still are.

Later, I got to know how they talked behind my back, exposing everything private I had told them to others, making fun of me, and character shaming me. Red went absolutely ugly with it, so mean that I can't even hear what she said. They even told the teachers about my vulnerabilities and made them turn against me, lying to them about me. They wanted to destroy me.

Due to extreme sickness, I got one day late for the debate trials and they didn't allow me. Blue got the chance finally. She was happy and I was too, at least for her if not for me. I still had hope in her. She became highly competitive, trying to do it all. She was good at sports so she became the head girl of the school, which was her dream. I cheered for her from a distance, congratulated her, and didn't even take part because I didn't want her to not get selected. I would have gotten easily selected at first priority if I applied. Everybody kept asking me why I wasn't the one being the head girl, but I simply smiled to them.

Then one day, Blue broke down in the bus because everything was too heavy for her. Keeping up with the sports meet practice, debates, horse riding, and racing, everyday was tougher for her. That is when I saw her crying and consoled her, even cried with her. She got calm, but still chose to not be in touch with me that much, and I was fine with it.

One day, I remember she was vomiting due to sickness during practice and all Red did was laugh silently with her friends. I felt miserable for her. She got herself into something serious just because she wanted to prove something nobody asked for. I wanted to help her, but feared she would say something rude, so I stood and waited there to see if things turn bad or if she needs me. She handled herself hardly that day. I even heard Red talking shit about her behind her back, but I decided not to be in drama anymore. I chose my peace and got away with it.

The Ultimate Revenge We passed 12th this year, and I topped the school with 97%. Blue and Red scored average. I chose peace, and I worked for myself. Months later, Blue texted me apologizing and saying she was insecure. I accepted her apology humbly, but kept my distance. I never contacted Red after that. Today, I finally deleted Red's number from my phone and threw her completely away from my life. I am at peace now, living happily, and I got admission at India's top 3rd university. I survived the darkest moments of my life, and I will build my future taking this lesson with me everywhere I go

TL;DR My best friend of 3 years grew deeply envious of my school success and turned into my worst bully. Alongside another close friend, she weaponized my personal vulnerabilities during a time when I was silently suffering from trauma, isolating myself, and battling suicidal thoughts. Instead of breaking, I completely cut them off, chose peace, and got the ultimate revenge by topping the school with and making it into a top university.
