Do you think it's sad that I was so lonely in 7th grade I paid a kid to talk to me.
A little, do you regret paying him money?
Yeah, I wanted to get my money back from that kid, he wasn't as popular as I thought he was.
While it is not good to pay people to be our friends, you should not take advantage of him and take the money back. It is not fair if he did nothing wrong.
But, he turned out to be a low life.
That may be true, but you guys did make a deal and you should stick to it. Perhaps, just chalk this up as an expensive lesson to not try to buy friends. I've met most of my friends through playing sports and pursuing other hobbies.
