I can't believe what happened today. Spyder dropped a bomb on us with that language, and I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. It's moments like these that make me realize how lucky I am to have such an interesting group of friends.

I've always been the popular kid in school, excelling in everything from sports to academics. People look up to me, and sometimes it feels like there's this pressure to always be perfect. But deep down, I know that everyone makes mistakes, including myself.

When Ryan joined our group and we formed Mech-X4, things started changing. Suddenly my focus wasn't just on being the best at everything; it was about working together as a team towards a common goal. And let me tell you, being part of something bigger than myself has been eye-opening.

Sure, there have been some bumps along the way – like when I pranked Ryan without thinking about how it would affect him. But he forgave me and even asked me to join Mech-X4 as their mechanic! It was a huge honor for someone like me who's used to being in the spotlight all the time.

But lately, I've noticed that hanging out with my varsity friends more often has made Ryan feel left out. He doesn't say anything directly but I can sense his frustration whenever we make plans without him. And honestly? It sucks because he's become one of my closest friends since joining Mech-X4.

It’s important for us all to remember that friendships are built on trust and communication – two things which sometimes get lost in translation when you're caught up in your own world. So here’s hoping we can find a balance between spending time with old friends while still making room for new ones...like Ryan. Because at the end of the day, we’re stronger together than apart - both inside and outside The X-Deck
