The next day after I gave Tim the kind letter, he was practically beaming with happiness when he saw me.
We were both talking and laughing and having a good time. That was, until Bety saw us together.
((Under Bety's orders, I wasn't supposed to talk to Tim at all because she was sworn enemies with him but being the passive self I was, I just obeyed her but talked to him in secret without her knowing, but now she knew))

She gave me a threatening stare, and then left shortly after. Tim looks at me and says,
"Why are you even her friend?"
"I don't really know..."
"She controls you. You're practically her B*tch."
"..."

Those were the words that stuck in my mind.
I didn't realize it 'til now, but it was the truth because I pretty much did everything Bety said. And when I didn't want to, she would get in my face and shout until I would obey her. After class, Bety immediately came up to me and said,

"What did I say about talking to Tim??"
"um..."
"Well???"
"Bety..."
"What?!?"

I took a deep breath and just said it:

"I seriously hate how controlling you are over me. This is my life, not yours. And Tim happens to be a good friend of mine. I know he made you mad at one point, but that shouldn't mean that I have to stop talking to him. So if it means you don't want to be my friend anymore after saying this to you, then so be it."

She smirked with malice in her eyes and said, "Erin, what's your sudden change in attitude?"

I didn't answer, but instead I said to Bety that I was going to be sitting by Tim at lunch and she's welcome to join us. She said she didn't want to go anywhere near him.

"Erin... you are going to choose who you prefer. That stupid bird or me?"

"Both of you mean a lot to me but I'm going to sit where I want to sit."

"OMG, so you're picking Tim over me???"

I ignored her and just sat down as she stormed off. Later in the day, I sent her a myspace message telling her that our friendship was over. I felt good about doing it, but something tells me that she is going to get revenge on me somehow. She does this to everyone she's mad at, and it's a way for her to "punish" them... whatever that means. But I'll be ready for it. I'm just glad things between her and I are officially over.

Now I don't have anymore problems with friends because they are officially out of my life... yes!!! *celebrates*
