My Best Friend

It was November on the farm I remember because, I could feel the fresh, cool crisp wind on my face. All those dried up brown piles of leaves on the ground that my dad was picking up and putting into large black plastic bags. I was 8 years old when my mom brought home Arnold, he was this pink little thing. With little white hair all over his body and a curly tail, my very first pig. We would become best friend over the years, we played every day as he grew older into an adult. Taking rides were one of my favorite things to do on a dirt road that was just behind my house. I would hop on his dirty pink back, holding on to his thick pink ears my feet barely touching the ground. Sometime he would go so fast that I would fall off hitting elbows first, then the rest of my body would be thrown from Arnold. He would stop and stand there looking at me with his big brown eyes and long eyelashes like he was worried if I was hurt. Then when I would get up he would run off or wait for me to get on for another ride. All that love and attention that I had given him over the years affected him too, I was his best friend we became inseparable.

Hi, I’m Harper. I’ve had a rough past. My mom left me as a baby so I live with my dad and grandma, I’ve been bullied as a younger kid because of my really big glasses but thank god for contacts. Enosch Is my best friend, he is 14 just like me. He’s a little taller than me and the weird thing is we could be siblings we look exactly alike. He has brown hair, I have brown hair. He has green eyes, I have green eyes. We’ve been friends ever since I moved here, which was about the beginning of the summer. It’s now a week into school and so far I really think I’ll like it here.

Most people often talk about all the exciting and fun things they did with their best friends. Things such as, girls night out, nail and spa day, but not me. My best friend is my brother, we use to do everything together, but we definitely never had a spa day or anything girly like that because he was to “manly” for it. As siblings, we didn’t always get along very well, but we still loved each other. We had a relationship that is built on trust and a bit of sibling rivalry. But what brother and sister doesn’t fight. When we were younger we always tried coming up with games such as cops and robbers, and in the end I would somehow end up tied or locked in the basement. To me it really didn’t matter what game we played as long as we were together. Like many siblings our rough housing went a little too far sometimes, one time I bit my brothers back and left teeth marks, but later he knocked out my tooth. So our punishments for hurting each other was having to love each other, in a way. My mom took duct tape and taped one arm and one leg together and we had to spend 3 hours taped together or until we could figure out how to love each other and be nice again. My brother and I have always been super close.

Ava, where do I even start. You have been my best friend since 4th grade. I can’t even describe what our friendship and sisterhood is. My teacher was planning on reading this but, I said no because 1. She wouldn’t understand any of it and 2. I would probably be sent to a mental asylum or kicked out of school even though I only have 2 more days of school not counting today. We have been through hell in back at the least. You have helped me with every problem I have ever had. You helped me with the divorce and my father just being my father and my mother being crazy and my sisters mostly Jessica. If I didn’t have you in my life I am pretty sure I would be homeless and crazy. Even to this day, I call you when I need assistance on knowing what the right thing to do is. And I forgot to mention the assignment was to write someone who has made a change in your life and mentored you. You were easily the first name that came into my mind. I wanted to write this to you not only has an assignment but, to thank you for everything (also if can kinda be like my yearbook thing for you). Well if I haven’t said it thank you. I don't think that you have realized how much you have done for me. You saved me from being alone at Bannockburn from mole and literally everyone. Bannockburn was pretty much hell until you came even though I was like 5. Thank you for helping deal with my crazy parents and just overall family and for literally being my rock. You fix everything even without trying. We

The first school that Adeline attends is the St.Joseph’s french convent school. Accordingly, Adeline first went there in kindergarten, where she was a day girl and earns medals for being special, leading her class. When she was eating dinner:

See when I met you I didn't understand what was it that drew me to you you instantly intrigued me with your charm and easy going way. Although that first encounter u mess up my nights by coming into the studio cause I didn't want teach beginners that day. But I forgive u..the moment you kiss me under the street light ess the day I knew I wanted to take one last gamble at love. Although we joke about you arriving late in my life. The moment was perfect and our story is one only people can dream about.

When I first got into elementary school I had two best friends I thought were going to be my friends forever, Mona and Piper. It was great because, not only did we see each other daily, we also lived about three houses down from one another. Even though all three of us were close, Mona and I considered ourselves to be “best friends”. At that time I watched a lot of the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, and on there everyone had a “best friend”. Miley had Lily, Alex had Harper, Carly had Sam, even Spongebob had Patrick. So if I knew anything at that time, I knew that I wanted a best friend. Mona would come to my house and I would go to hers just like on TV. She was even able to stay over a couple of times.

My dog Murphy, who was seven years old, was like my best friend. He was always at my side since day one. He was a loving, fun, and comforting dog. Murphy was super protective of me and would always try to get someone’s attention when he thought I needed help. I never knew a dog was capable of doing that, but he could. Murphy was literally the best dog in the world. Anytime I was sad, he knew. To cheer me up, I got his slobbery kisses to the point where my face was gone at the end! I always saw a long life planned ahead for him. I expected him to live till he was twelve, like most dogs, but that wasn’t the case.

It was a warm, crisp day; with red and yellow leaves scattered down the path. I was alone, which isn't a surprise because I don't have many friends. Leah would have loved this I thought. Leah was a talll, blond haired, blue eyed girl with the brightest smile.Leah just happened to be my best and only true friend. You know what they say, every brunette needs a blonde best friend. Even though I didn't have much I had a loving family and a best friend, what else would I need. Our lives were perfect, until the morning of October 12. October 12, the day he showed up. He was a new kid named Gage. Gage was a junior just like us and had the first class of the day with Leah and I. We gave him a tour of the school and told him the basic new kid story. Ya know, if you need anything, just ask and i'll help, that kinda spill. Everything was normal, then Leah and Gage started hanging out more, just like we use to. As time went on they got closer and me and Leah got farther apart. I would sit with them at lunch, but that was basically it after Gage showed up. I was happy for her, she found someone who loved her for who she was.

In the winter of 8th grade, I began to disconnect from my friends, mainly my ‘best friend’. I didn’t have as much fondness of her as I would’ve had a few years ago. I didn’t laugh with her as much, and we didn’t hang out as often or even feel the need to. It was as if I didn’t want to be with her.

Everyone knows that person that is out of the ordinary. The type of person that makes sure every moment is special in a creative way. That person for me was Drew. He was my closest friend in high school. Someone I always wanted to be around and spend time with. If I had the time, I would be with him. Drew always knew how to put a smile on someone's face (especially mine). If I was upset, I knew he was the person to call. I always saw Drew as my best friend and nothing more. That slowly started to change as time went on. Drew was two years older than I was. He had to make decisions faster than I did. Decisions like where to after graduation and who to take to prom. We always joked about the "what if's" like if we dated or if we went to prom together; but never actually thought it would become a real thing.

Having a best friend is the most precious feeling I have had the chance to experience, and I pray that everyone could have a friendship like mine. I met my best friend in the eighth grade and unfortunately, I didn’t realize how special she was. We weren’t inseparable in middle school, and we didn’t talk as much as I wish we had, but our relationship grew with the start of high school. We were joined together by our mutual interest in choir and, finally, it became clear that she was just like me. We progressed through our freshman year and at the end, we went on a choir trip. At the beginning of the trip, everything was perfect but by the end, things began to fall apart. I became selfish, barely thinking about her feelings, and I drew everyone into an argument. This was the first big disagreement in our relationship, and I thought I had ruined everything. She, however, forgave me and gave me the first of many chances to redeem myself.

For many people their best friend may never be a person most times it is an animal of some sort. Almost fourteen years of my life I have had my best friend his name is Drake he is a black lab. The best thing that has ever happened in my life I don’t ever think that I will be able to find another one exactly like him. I had from the time I started school to just before senior year.

She has been my best friend for as long as I could remember. Knowing her is a gift, or at least it was. It was hard imagining what I was going to do without her. What was I going to do when it was pouring down rain outside and all you can hear are these millions of bullets hitting the roof of the house? No one would ever amount to how we were together. We were the unstoppable duo, but unfortunately our time was limited.

Best friends are very important to have in life. They are always there to lend a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, or a helping hand. While they share these things in common, each one is different. For example, the two I have in my life have made provided me with contrasting pieces of themselves, thus making me who I am today. I am blessed to have them in my life because they are amazing people who love me unconditionally. My best friends, Taylor and Dakota, may differ in their personalities, home life, and common interest, but they are still both caring and dependable people.
