"Okay Class, Pick your partners!" Within .5 seconds, everyone had a partner. In all the confusion, I hear this high pitched voice. " I want HER to be my partner!" her pointer finger slowly arranged itself in my direction. Who was this short, curly haired freak? And why did she want to be my partner? Probably because I just answered the math question correctly. I didn't even know her name. Cindy was it? Oh crap, I highly doubt she knows my name. My new friend was different, I couldn't point my finger on it, but there was something about her that was different. I liked it. From that day on, we became really good friends. And I found out that her name wasn't Cindy but Sydney. That was in 7th grade, and now We're both Seniors. I'm excited to walk across the stage and receive my diploma with my best friend since 7th grade. She was my first friend and are we really going to go separate ways come next September? I told her, We would apply to some of the same schools, so there is a better chance we will be together. We've been with each other through thick and thin. She's been there to pick me up at 11pm on a school night because I couldn't take it in my house. And I've done the same for her. Of course we've had countless fights and they've been about god knows what. And we will probably continue to have those silly fights. We laugh about the most stupid things. We are quite crazy at times. And we both can annoy the heck out of eachother. But I'm glad to have a friend like her.
