Hi Newlifestartsnow,

I wouldn’t talk to her. But if she dares ask for your notes again, simply say, “No” with no explanation. The awkwardness will fall squarely back on her. It sounds like the friendship is on the outs anyway if you feel like you are friends only when it suits her.

It would be different if she made it to class most of the time.

If you’re too scared to be direct, just say one of these each time she asks: “I wasn’t in class that day”, “My pen ran out”, “I’ll get those notes to you later” (not), “I can’t find the notes!!”, “I fell asleep in class!!!”, “I was talking to this hot guy during class and didn’t exactly write anything down!”, have the notes be illegible, have the notes be in shorthand.

Oh my goodness, you can fun with this!!! She will quickly learn that it’s actually easier to get to class. If only to befriend someone else to give her their notes or to meet the imaginary hot guy!

Good Luck,

Inky
