B3. Meet My Best Friend

She’s not only my best friend but she’s a sister to me.  I will never forget the day I met Hunter Jurek. We grew up just a block away from each other and went to the same school, but we never seemed to talk or see each other. It was a warm summer day I was walking down the sidewalk and I passed this house with a girl that looked just my age playing and sitting outside of her house. We exchanged our hellos then I nonchalantly asked her to be my friend. At this time in my life I really didn’t have many friends I only had a few. From the day we met we just instantly grew up with each other and became the best of friends. I feel like when I’m around her I can just be myself, I don’t have to be someone I’m not. We feel a part of each other’s family. Also, I feel free and open to her to tell her anything that goes on in my life, I’m not afraid to keep stuff from her. Like every other friendship there are downfalls to them. Not everything can go perfect in a friendship, we do have our times in our friendship were we don’t get a long and we fight and argue. I don’t remember what we were arguing about but it turned out to be the worst thing for me, because we didn’t talk for months. I know that I had to be the one to man up and talk to her about and apologize for what I did to her. Not talking to her for that time was hard for me because I would literally tell her everything in my life, and then I just felt like I had no one to open up and talk to. I know I can always count on her being there for me with any kinds of problems I have, from boys to family or even a problem I have within myself. Next, we probably do almost everything together. Her family is like my second family. I know people say a lot of friendships don’t last after high school, but I honestly think our friendship will. No matter what happens to us I will always truly love her more than a best friend, but a sister to me.
