    Am I overreacting?
    I'm 13 (and a girl). I've been away from home for about 2 weeks and of course, haven't seen my best friend in that time (a little more than that, actually, since it's summer and we both have been kind of busy). I went over to her house just the other day though, and it was kind of awkward. We hadn't seen each other in that time, and she hadn't seen her mom in a while either, so she was telling her mom all sorts of stories about what she had been doing with her cousins and everything (people I don't know, so I couldn't really understand most of the stories). I couldn't even tell if she was glad to see me, and she was pretty quiet the whole day, at least for her. She'd lost a few of her phone contacts, too, so I was going through and readding some of the ones I had in my phone to her's, and I noticed a couple of things. I've always been near the top of her contact list (either the first person or the second, but now I was just where I fell alphabetically), I've always had a nickname as my entry but now it was just my normal name, and I've always been on her speed dial. Also, I have OCD to some degree, and cracked doors really bug me -- they either have to be closed completely or open wide, or I can't stand it. I got up to close her door one time and she usually makes a joke when I do something like that, but this time she didn't say anything. I'm not a very confrontational person -- I tend to keep things to myself -- so I didn't say anything, but all of it did kind of hurt. Am I overreacting, or not?

    Why don't you send her a light 'Hi, how are you doing' text or just invite her to hang out with you. She may have just loads on and then feel awkward herself for not keeping in touch as much as she should have. If you still feel things aren't right then just ask her in a really nice way NOT 'Whats the matter' just something more along the lines of 'Have I don't something to upset you'. Either way you'll at least now for sure if something's wrong. Good Luck.

    Just give her a little time to settle in and if she is still acting funny ask her about it but do it in a friendly manner.. I understand exactly how your feeling..

    I think you need to talk to her one on one
    And ask her what's wrong
    Maybe she needs reasurance that you are still friends like before
    Let her know that you missed her and nothing has changed on your side anyway
