My Best friend and I just fell out over a magazine. I borrowed it without asking her permission, I really didn't think she'd mind because she's given me mags before, but this morning she phoned me and told me she doesn't want a "theif" for a friend. I think she's over reacting, but I want to stay friends. What should I do? Please write quickly cause I need to sort this out.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Explain to her that you never mean't for her to get so upset. Try and talk to her face to face and rationally. tell her what you told us. hopefully your relationship is strong enough to get over this. hav you borrowed things without asking before? it sounds a bit harsh to call you a thief for borrowing a magazine.
I don't think a really good friend who truly cares about you would call you a thief about something so petty.
If you think she's still worth bothering about, it could be that something else is worrying her & she's blown up about the magazine because she was feeling bad already.
If it was me (and I thought the friendship was worth fighting for) I'd check that she wasn't mad at me for other things...and then ask if there's anything else wrong.
Maybe even go round in person with the magazine, and see if there's other stuff on her mind making her over react. You seem to feel that she's a good friend, so she might need you..sometimes people push other folks away just when they need their support the most.
If she won't listen to you, write her a letter explaining that you are really sorry, but you didn't think she would mind if you 'borrowed' her magazine, especially if you were such good friends. If she accepts your apology - fine, if she doesn't, then she was never really a true friend in the first place. Hope all turns out well for you.
