i have some of the coolest friends that sometimes, i wonder why they’re friends with me seeing as i am not cool like them. darla is an eccentric little pixie who’s friends with everyone and assigns a different animal for each person she meets and goes outside of her house at 4 am to spray paint her neighbor’s walls for hurting her dog just because she can. julienne is that smart kid who’s a bit too loud for her own good but whom people can’t really bring themselves to hate because she’s fun to be around with and she’s funny and she makes you feel wanted. marielle is a girl with a twisted and wicked sense of humor and she makes me laugh all the time with her antics and i think about how nice that must be, the ability to make people laugh because i have such dry humor the only one who laughs at my jokes is my best friend and she doesn’t count because she laughs at everything. frances is student council president and i remember a time when i thought she was a bit too much for me to take until i got to see a side of her that truly cares and she’s good-natured in more ways than one and i am so thankful i got to see that side because there’s more to fran than what most people think. carissa is in arizona, the pacific ocean separating me from her, but she tries her best to stay in touch and just last night, she showed me a photo of us back in fifth grade and i almost cried because i miss her so much but i hope she’s happy there because i want her to be happy. janina has been my best friend and my partner in crime since second grade and it’s truly amazing that even though we have so many differences, i still put up with her and she still puts up with me and i know this is a friendship that cannot sink for it has survived countless rough tides. my best friend joy is aiming to be class valedictorian but she procrastinates schoolwork like a boss but consumes energy drinks the night before quarterly exams and even amidst all the stress she puts herself through, she can still manage to laugh and laugh and laugh.
anne mary, bea, chinchin, princess, kathleen, rhea, kyla, inah, natasha, angel, racine, joana, francesca (you all can’t fit here but if i talk and laugh with you and you talk and laugh with me, you’re my friend) - i could say a lot of amazing things about them but let’s just say they’re all wonderful and i wish i could keep them in my pocket.
i love my friends. they’re all lovely, complex individuals who bring out the best in me.
we’re graduating next year and going our separate ways. where’d high school go?
