Probably around a day.

A girl called Maria moved to my school and i decided to befriend her as she was foreign and didn't speak much English. A few weeks later i get pulled out of class by another student who then told me that i needed to apologize to Maria and when i asked why she just said that i knew already (i had no idea why i had done). Maria refused to speak to me and after a lot of digging and a meeting with a teacher, i found out that apparently i 'made a sign to her'. Upon further investigation, i discovered SHE DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANT. I texted her about it and she said that i knew what it was and that she knew it was rude, she even threatened to get her dad into school to beat me up. Obviously i was furious. I originally thought that i called her nice in Bsl (british sign language) as me and another friend were attempting to learn it. Nice in Bsl is a bit misleading as it is a thumbs up while drawing a smile under your chin and from the wrong angle it can look like you are symbolising cutting your throat (dragging your thumb across your neck). I showed her it and everything else i had learnt in an attempt to make up but SHE SAID IT WAS NONE OF IT. To this day i have no idea what i 'said' and have not spoken to her since. I hate her with every inch of my soul and have not changed her name as she deserves it. (This all happened within a week).

I felt betrayed and stabbed in the back, i lost my cool and said some things i shouldn't have and the truth got twisted and now i wish i could go back in time and never be her friend. The good news is that brexit might be happening soon so she could be sent back to her home country.
