Most people are lucky enough to have a best friend. For boys, there may be more than one, and for girls there may only be one. For me, I’ve had three great friends in my twenty years and multiple acquaintances that were more of a lesson than a blessing. Out of those three friends, there has only been one that has been consistent. Whether we’re fighting or not, Savannah has been my best friend for ten years now.
It all started back in fifth grade. I was a new to the ‘girl’ world. My first ten years of life were filled with tomboy activities and being the only girl at the birthday parties. Fifth grade changed everything for me. The boys were more interested in the girls and I was being left out more on the playground. It was softball that

Tension built between us and I soon found myself growing closer to someone else in the tenth grade. One of the three I mention in the beginning. Her name is Danielle. She was also a part of a duo, but her partner was her twin named Hannah. The three of us became close, but Danielle and I more than Hannah. Her humor was like nothing I had encountered before and she kept me laughing most the time. At the end of tenth grade, Hannah and Danielle found out they were going to have to move to Florence and we were all heartbroken. Everyone loved the twins, they brought a light to that dreary time of high school. They joy and humor were contagious and when they moved there was an obvious hole left. During this time Savannah was still heavily involved with her new friends, but clearly jealous of my new friendship as well.
The real heartache didn’t happen until that summer. Although Florence was not too far away, it was still hard to keep a friendship going while living two completely different lives. That summer, Hannah and Danielle were suddenly moved to Kansas City. I remember crying my eyes out as Danielle text me the news that they were on their way to a different state. I’m not going to lie; it broke me in a way
I had never experienced before. The news of the twins move spread quickly on social media. The next day I had softball practice. I remember walking into the dugout and everything going silent. My teammates knew of my connection to the
In All Kinds of Friends by Judith Viorst, she explains how there is six type of friends: Convenience friends, Special-interest friends, Historical friends, Cross-generational friends, and Close friends. The one friendship that I can relate to the most would be to a close friend. The one person that I consider to be a close friend would be a tiny little Asian named Brittney. We met during our junior year of high school. How we came to be friends was through a basketball teammate that introduce us while we were hanging out.

These are all strong, recognizable, strong friendships that have been built in the past, but the
I'm a loner, I have never had a best friend, but you could call these two people friends of mine. Skyler Robbins and Drake Steinbrock. I try to know little about people, but these two I know a moderate amount about them.
I have a few best friends who I care about. Out of all my best friends, there is one who shines the most. She is the one who has been my best friend since kindergarten. She is the one who comes over almost every single weekend. She is the one who is like my sister. Brooklyn Zuziak will always be my best friend.
“Friends are a dime a dozen”, said someone whom I’m not aware of, but whoever it was must’ve had their fair-share of poor decisions when it came to selecting friends. However, they are right. Friends do come and go, some you feel relieved that they’d left and some you may want them to stay, but that’s just one reason why it’s become so important to choose your friends carefully.
Even though making new friends along a journey, there is always that one friend that will always be there.
I would have to say that one of my closest friends right now is Sadie Rosello. We’ve come so far together as companions through life that there is no way I could consider not having her at my side. We met about two and a half years ago when I was in seventh grade and she was a freshman. We grew so close over time by doing things together that we really enjoyed. It was kind of funny actually, our little relationship. We would never really do anything. We would just meet at the beach and literally do nothing but talk and share an occasional nap. She is one of those people whose company alone is enough to satisfy. When I’m with her we don’t even need to talk. I’m 100% content just sitting in her company. Sadie is definitely
known forever and simply got closer with. My friends will be with me for years to
The friend that she sees jump before her, when she jumps into bed. The friend who was there right by her side for her first steps. The friend who lay beside her in times of trouble. The friend who has stood by her every step of the way.
The song “Friends” by Whodini said it best, “How many of us have them? Friends, ones we can depend on…” it asks the question, what are friends and what makes a good relationship? Whether the relationship is friend, romantic, or parental oriented, the answer is effective communication. Without effective communication, a relationship can deteriorate, and eventually disintegrate. How many times have friendships become forgotten, because
In times of prosperity friends will be plenty, but in times of adversity not one in twenty.
