I tried out for my highschool freshmen volleyball team and made it, but my best friend didn't.?

Question

Me and my best friend have known eachother since we were in kindergarten. We're starting highschool together and we both tried out for the freshmen volleyball team. I'm good at volleyball, i was MVP four times on my modified team. My friend is a decent player too, but she didn't make the team and i did. When I was going down the hallway to read list to see who makes the team I saw my friend. She didnt look upset or happy so i couldnt tell if shed already seen the list. i asked her if she made the team and (in a really mean voice.) she said "no! but you did." and she won't talk to me anymore. How do I fix this friendship before it's totally broken ... is it even worth saving? i mean she should be happy for me, right?

Answer 1

wow and that's a best friend?

Answer 2

bummer.

give it a few days...she'll come around..and if she doesn't

attempt talking to her...just be comforting and tell her you're sorry she didn't make the team and if there was something you could do to fix it you would in a heartbeat! tell her it's something neither of you can control but you would like her to step up and be the best friend she's always been  and try to be supportive!

Answer 3

You should let her cool down. She is most likely jealous and eventually apologize for what she did. She probaly is happy for you but it is tough to see you get cut from a team and be happy at the same time.By the way thank you for answering my basketball drill question and i know im here to answer a question not ask one but do you have a scedule time you work on a specific part of your game and if u do can u reply hope i helped.

Answer 4

last year the same thing happened with me and my best friend with the school basketball team, i made it and she didn't but she was just upset with herself for a few day but really proud of me. I told her to look at the time until next season to improve so next year she can make the team. try to be understanding towards your friend and try to talk to her, its not your fault.

Answer 5

Tell her there are 2 kinds of people in this world. People who succeed and people who don't. She is, unfortunately, part of the group of the unsuccessful. She has a lifetime ahead of her at McDonalds, trailer parks and Walmart discount racks. Tell her that if she wants to have some of your "awesome" rubbed off onto her "loserness", that she better be nice to you. And then maybe she will learn how to be more successful.

Answer 6

Yes, she should be happy for you.  But for now, you must understand how she feels about herself.  I believe she does not mean to be mean to you, she is but frustrated with herself.  Try saving the friendship. And, try to help her   make it to the next try-out.  Invite her to play volleyball with you once in awhile so she can improve her skill.  Inspire her to reach for what she wants to be.  Show her you want her to be with your team in the future.

That's what good friends are for.  Good luck!

Answer 7

Well if she's that jealous of you she really shouldn't be your friend. She definitely should be happy for you! You will probably find new friends who play volleyball and that appreciate you being on the team. She might get over it if she makes a different sport team.
