I'm in a very small college course and am close with all my classmates, but one of them in particular, called S, was my closest friend in the class. I fancied her a fair bit when I first met her but as we got closer the feelings just developed into a close friendship. We used to joke that we were the 'same person' because we kept saying the same things at the same time,etc. Anyway, she's barely been in very much over the last few weeks since we came back after Christmas, but I've been chatting with her over facebook on the days she wasn't in.

On Monday we were informed that she had dropped out of the course. She hadn't said anything to me and when I got home and mentioned it to her on facebook she never replied, and hasn't said anything to me or anyone about it since. I'm upset that she just upped and left the course and said nothing to me first?? She broke up with her boyfriend of 3 months,also in our class, in January, and I know she wasn't completely happy in the course but I didn't think it was enough to not even stay the year and get the certificate. I really miss her in classes and am having trouble taking it in that she won't be in college any more - my class are down to twelve now. I feel really sad about the whole thing... I'm close with all my class but her and I had a special bond and it's gone now.
