Best friends forever we said. We pinky promised it would be for a lifetime, but I learned that some things change. Faith and I had the average friend relationship when we were younger. We would tell each other secrets, help each other with homework, have slumber parties and play dates, and just be fun kids together. Since we were in preschool, we were always there for each other through the ups and downs of childhood. We loved each other like no other, or so I thought.

I remember how I felt that day, It's a feeling that continuously haunts me and no matter how hard I try to forget it always finds its way back into my mind. It's a mixture of hurt and anger because I never thought that someone so close could spread such a rumor. I would never do anything to hurt anyone, especially try to take my closest friends fiancé for myself. The reason for which she assumed that I was capable of doing that, is a puzzle that I am yet to solve. As despicable as this may seem, however, I am very thankful for this event, for her assumption has taught me a very valuable lesson.

Friendship is necessary for everyone, and it makes life more meaningful and beautiful than a person with a lonely life. That’s why a person who had some best friend forever relationships was a lucky person, and he or she usually is happy. Even if the friendship is same gender or between male and female, a best friend forever always makes a beautiful relationship, and is not less important than love.

“People who only contact you when they need something from you are just acquaintances. Not friends”. This is a quote by Rick Warren. “Each person has a core group of about 5 friends. This expands to a bigger circle of 15, then 50, and then 150.” (“No New Friends”).A person can only have a few close friends but at the same time we can have lots of acqaintances.

I’ve had three best friends throughout my entire life. My current best friend is Maia Davis. We’ve been best friends since the seventh grade. She literally my other half. Although, we don’t live close to each other when we do see one another it feels as though we didn’t miss a beat. Our friendship has endured so much and we continue to prosper. We lost a mutual friend together and have been through emotionally exhausting relationships. She is one of the very few people that I know I can depend on. I am grateful to call her my best friend. I feel as though people often use the term “best friend” too loosely. Being a best friend means that you’re the most dependable friend someone has. A best friend is there when no one is. A best friend will encourage you when you don’t have the confidence to endure. Your best friend is your rock. Best friends are like a cool parent. For example, I have had some of my best moments with my best friend but she won’t ever let me make poor decisions. I can trust her. And it’s hard to find someone that you can trust, especially in this era. My best friend and I are inseparable. She’s the type of person that if I don’t have any money, she’ll split her last with me. For example, during spring break, we went to a party together and it cost 10 dollars to get in. I forgot my money at home and she was more than willing to pay for me. I feel as though that if the world was filled with more people like Maia, the world would be a lot better. She has the sweetest heart but she’s also a pit-bull so I’m not worried about her. She’s a strong-minded person. If she has her mind set on something, no one can change her mind. This is one of my favorite characteristics of her because this is something that will continually benefit her. I feel that my best friend is an extension of myself. Our mothers, whom act just alike, have us convinced that they’re sisters who were separated at

Friendship is not simply a "relationship", knowing someone, conversing with that person, or dealing with that person in business, school, or in casual acquaintance. True friendship is not just a "relationship", but self-sacrificing love. A friend is also one who supports, sympathizes, and is a person in whom you can confide. There are unique qualities that a person must have to be considered a friend.

Have you ever had someone in your life who helped you figure out who you were? Someone who showed you the right path. Someone who was there right next you even if you did not take that path. Someone who always seemed to be right, but never held it against you when you were not. Someone whom without your life would most likely be entirely different. I have. Her name was Jessica.

From one month ago. I played basketball with my best friend and I also know he is better than me. Yeah, I’m jealous of him so I pushed him to think he hurts his ankle, I know I did wrong, but I just felt that he was so cocky, I didn’t say sorry. I didn’t want to say sorry.

I wanted to let you know that I am okay. My world didn’t collapse when you changed you mind. You were probably the first boy I truly ever liked. For some reason, I felt very connected to you, like I could tell you anything and everything and really open up to you which is something that has always been hard for me with anyone, but I took a chance and did it. You were my best friend, and I cared a lot about you, sometimes you said it seemed like I cared to much, but part of me feels as though you just weren’t used to someone truly caring about you. I remember so clearly the first night you told me you liked me. I remember the feeling I got. My heart started to beat fast, I got hot and I couldn’t stop grinning, but there was also doubt and fear. Doubt that a boy like you could like me, and I think that was my first mistake. I remember the fear taking over and thinking that you were going to turn around and say, “just kidding”. I remember that I didn’t know how to respond with all these mixed emotions and thoughts going through my head and heart so I just sat there for like 10 minutes just thinking about what had just happened, and after I collected myself I admitted to you that I had liked you for a while. Than two days later I felt my heart shatter for the first time ever as I sat on my couch. As I sat there I tried to pretend that it didn’t matter to me that you had said “I’m sorry I made a mistake and realize I don’t feel that way about you and I won’t ever let it happen

The Best Friends are the friend who are always be there. They are the best wingman, they are loyal, and they are the type to never let you down. See, the best friend will always know when to step back and give you center stage. My best friend is a perfect example of that. This kid has literally given up his house for a guy who was in need of some help. It was a night that I went over to a friends that I didn’t hang out with much and we ended up getting yelled at by his dad so I had to leave. My first thought was “I don’t want to go home yet.” It was probably around two in the morning when I called my friend. You will immediately know if someone is your best friend if you call them that early in the morning. My phone probably rang once and he picked up. I told him what had happened and asked him what to do. He told me,

Asiah is one of my best friends she has brown hair, brown eyes, she's tall, and really kind and funny. The reason why I think she's funny is because one day all she did was just played pranks on me. She started out by just scaring me for no reason I just started laughing really loud. Asiah always liked joking around and being silly that’s how she always is. I remember one time she just gets up on the table and started dancing when we were listening to music in her kitchen it was hilarious. The best part was that she almost fell off the table onto me but I moved out of the way in time. We always play fight in her room when we get bored and have nothing to do. The first time I went to her house we jumped out of a window but it wasn’t that

A friend is someone you can always count on when times are tough. Having friends is easy but being a true friend is not always easy. To be a true friend firstly you need to keep yours promises. Do not make a promise that you not going to keep. Because if you do not keep your promises, your friends will definitely start to loss confident in you. If you promise your friend to go with her to the store, if you just cannot go, give your friend a gift and tell him or her sorry. Secondly be dependable. Being dependable is one of the most important aspects of being a true friend. If you are a true friend who is dependable, your friend call on you most especially in hard times. Thirdly be honest. Honesty is the fairness and straightforwardness of

I had blue eyes and dark blond hair, but I kept my hair buzzed pretty short.

We are best friends and we have known each other since the fifth grade. Even though we may look a little different, some people may think we are sisters. I am grateful for the times we share, the memories we have, and the things we will do in the future together. I am grateful for you. I hope you know how much, and if you don’t, hopefully this letter will show you.

Have you ever tried to avoid a particularly scary kid at school, or maybe, all the people at a new school? Well, I was that kid in 3rd grade that tried to avoid everyone, since I really did not know anyone. It was the year I moved from India to the little town of Cuthbert, Georgia. I had to go to a new school, live in a new environment, and learn better English. I went to a school that my sister had not attended before, and she could not show me around campus or even introduce me to some friends because she was not there for the first day of school. The only person I remember who actually talked to me, and later became my first best friend and still is, was Martie Pearson. He was also a new kid at the school, and since we did not know
