My Friendship In High School

These girls were my family for about a year, but then we started having problems. I was causing drama that shouldn’t have even been a problem. As this group dissolved, I started to find myself. I realized that I had not always been the nicest to people. I hated that some people thought of me as someone that is rude or unkind. So I started to change that. I started working on being nice to everyone, even if I didn’t especially like the person. Eventually, people started to want to talk to me more and I started making close friends

Before I came to Baker Middle School, I attended elementary school in Laytonsville. I had a group of friends that consisted of five people, Olivia Fink, Olivia Pallas, Mason LeBlanc, Kody Johnson, and Stefan Jacob. The Olivia’s both attend this school alongside me, but sadly the other three attends a different school. I became friends with those three because we all had common interests in multiple categories such as cartoons and humor. I still keep in touch with them, but I know we aren’t as close as we used to be. With the Olivia’s we all became best friends in the first week of Kindergarten and we still have been by each other’s side since. We became friends because we all sat next to each other on our little chairs, and talked about anything

I literally opened my mouth and said, “ Uhhh Hmmmm….” It literally sounded like I couldn’t talk. But they laughed and said, “We are going to teach you how to mingle.” And so a friendship bloomed before me. All of them helped me cover up my fears of socializing, like small talk and meeting new people, and now I can talk to people with ease (well kind of but better than before) although I’m still filled with butterflies every time I talk. I can now say things like, “ My name is Jessica, what is your name?” and “ I’m okay, thank you, and hello.” Although everyone the person who was always there for me was her. The girl with her hair tied up, a smile on her face, and a heart of a true friend, Rozlynn. In the sixth grade I felt like we were drifting apart, like new friends came along and she hung out with them while I hung out with other friends. I pondered on this with much thought, walking back and forth around in my room. But that wasn’t the case. She made new friends and slowly and cautiously, I became friends with them. Now she considers me as one of her best friends and I feel the same way. Then one day she said, “ Next year, I’m moving to

It wasn’t until junior year of high school I finally found a group of friends that I can call my best friends. There is barely a time when we aren’t all hanging out together and they have helped me a lot these past two years. I would also probably say they were my biggest fans this basketball season, and they showed it. I could hear them cheering for me and they even got the student section to start chanting Juice, my nickname, after I made a basket. I loved looking over at them because they always got me hyped up during games and even seeing a few of them dress up as me every once in awhile was pretty funny I felt honored. But they are my best friends, because I make the best and craziest memories with them and they are always a happy group of people there is never a dull moment with them. My friendship with them is probably like Ros and Guil’s relationship, not as dumb, but just as fun. Ros and Guil where two really funny guys and they were always having fun or kidding around when they were together, and they just had a special connection, and that’s how I feel with my friends. Obviously there’s more of them but I feel like I’m Ros and they are Guil. I don’t think that I could asked for a better group of friends who help and support me through all my easy and rough

This summer I reunited with my best friend. We haven’t seen each other since I left to go to New York. We kept in touch as much as we could, but I moved around a lot that it was hard. So, finally I found her again and we had a lot to catch up on and only a day to do it. When I showed up at her house her mom gave me a hug like I was moving away forever. Well, my best friend’s name is Georginna and she is the same age as me. The night she stayed with me we caught up on what happened while we were away from each other, talked about boyfriends, ex’s, and crushes. We also watched scary movies and annoying my brothers. She met my step-dad, Elijah, and Isaiah. We talked about her moving here to go to school with me again, and she

I have my senior friend group, Kate Lauren, Ravin, Emily, Erica, Prelsey, and Claire, that I have had since freshman year and I couldn’t be any happier with them. They are always encouraging me to do my best and put myself out there because they believe in me. My 2 best friends, Kate and Lauren, live right down the road from me and I couldn’t have it any better. If I’m ever having a hard time I know I can just call them and they’ll let me come over to talk. My first couple years, there wasn’t a day you wouldn’t find me without them, we were attached at the hip. Here lately, I have become close with Presley and Claire and I’m so glad I have, those girls keep me in line and put up with me and I couldn’t thank them enough. They always know how to cheer me up and there’s never a dull moment when I’m with them.

The school was on vacation, so after the school’s vacation was over, my sister’s and I went to school. I went to Houlton Elementary School because I was in 2nd grade. On my first day of school, I had made my first actual friend, her name was Mia. We became friends because the teacher told us to do a timeline project of our lifetime, and I started crying because I missed my family, so Mia told me everything would be alright . We had started hanging out with each other after that, I found out that similar lives. We both had three dogs, two older sisters, and we are the youngest. We have been friends ever since

I was a little on the chubby side and I wasn't very good at making friends, or keeping them. People would just use me when they were in a fight with their friends and didn't want to look like a loner. In sixth grade, it wasn't much different. Go figure. However, about a quarter into the school year, some girls invited me to sit by them in a class. For the rest of the week, they invited me to sit by them in classes and at lunch. I later found out that it was because, they didn't want another girl sitting by them and that they were just stringing me along. Feeling like the dirt on the bottom of some cute girls shoes, I really didn't know what to do. I've never had anything like that in relation to friends. Therefore, I kept hanging out with them. I was rather desperate for friends and popularity. Not a few weeks later, I got invited to one of the girl's birthday parties. It was a huge shocker, because I never expected them to sincerely like me. A week later I went to the party, and made a complete fool of myself. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't even want them to see me at school. But my mom made me go. I walked into school and they ran to me talking about how cool and fun the party and, surprisingly, I was. I couldn't believe it. We became best friends and are still friends to this

We sat next to each other in Social Studies, and she turns to me and says, “Hi, I am Elissa, what is your name?” Since then, we were friends for a while, but I do not think her group of friends seemed to like me, so we drifted. I made a new friend named Mackenzie. We were close friends, we had sleepovers, went to places together, went on adventures. That friendship also drifted. I thought I would be the only Asian in my entire eighth grade, but I found a girl who was Filipino, her name was Samantha. Since we bonded really well, we are still close friends to this day. Whenever we are together it is full of laughs and awesome adventures. High school finally came and I thought I would last with a big group of friends, but it is Junior year and I only have 2 good friends in my life. Do not get me wrong, I love having a small group of friends, but I was told half my life that you will still have the friends you have from elementary or middle school when you graduate. Time went on, and I realized that most friendships do not last forever. Those people you knew throughout your school years most likely will not be in your

We were so close in elementary school. You would always talk about how you still missed me after I moved and now I don't know you anymore. Even though we see each other every day, it's painful since I still miss you and I know you probably felt the same way too.The reason why I unfriended you was because I was jealous that you replaced me (which I regret doing years ago). I know shit like that happens, but I try avoiding you to not look like a stalker. Well, I'm happy for you now. Sometimes the feeling of missing someone feels great, in a way. I'm sorry that I put you though any kind of pain. I've lied to you many times. I'm sorry that I haven't talked to you. It was mainly since I didn't know what to say at that time. It sucks because when you started ignoring me, I realized this. I know that I was/am a jerk, that I wouldn't change, that I'm arrogant, and stupid. Something changed me when I moved schools. It wasn't easy for an introvert like me to make friends like it was before and I was with the wrong people who did stupid shit that got me in

Towards the end of seventh grade everything seemed to be turning worse for me. I was a socially awkward nerd who thought humor could solve everything, even if it was not that funny. My grades were plummeting and my parents were not happy or supportive with it. My best and only friend Marco, an intelligent and funny boy, was moving to New York. On top of this I was already in a rather bad state, being a dumb nerd, not good at anything in particular, and already having not been happy the majority of my life. The two things I was happy and proud about were gone. Just as everything seemed to be depressing and looking down I began talking to her. She was a caring, helpful, and saw the best in everyone, even me. At first I had not realized it, but

Weeks later I saw the same girl, as I was heading to my class I had so many things to carry that at the moment I fell and tripped I dropped everything nobody stop to help me, but the girl she did and I was surprised. “Thank you “I said “don’t worry and you’re welcome”. OK. That I couldn’t believe the same girl my friends and I bullied had helped me that was unusual but aright. Next day I saw her and I started talking, to her since I found out I had her for a class, a month later after being friends she asked me a question I would never forget. “What did I ever did to you guys?” for an instance my mind went blank I dint know what to answer but I sure knew this girl had feelings and I had done the wrong thing .At that second my life spun around and I stuck this saying to my head and made it a rule “Life is like a story. Each day is like a chapter. Each year is like a part. But like every book, each story is different. You can’t judge a book by its cover until you know its story.”

In second grade at Blue River Elementary School, my friend Peyton and I were not very good friends. One day Peyton's mom came in to eat lunch with her. In elementary school, we could pick a friend to eat with us in the back room with our parents. That day Peyton chose me to eat lunch with her which was surprising because I didn't really know her. At lunch, we learned a lot about each other. At recess, we played with each other without anyone else. The next day her mom came again and she happily picked me. That day was like magic because from that day on we were best friends. Even though we had been friends since preschool we didn't officially know each other until that time. We now say that we were meant to become best friends and

In the beginning of 8th, most of my friends had different class hours as me. Which meant making new friends and meeting new people the best thing in the world (sarcasm). But what I didn’t know back in the beginning is that I would soon meet two of my now closest friends this year. Those two people being Michelle Rose Barnvos and Luke Bucaro. I met Mich in a group project where we had to make a roots video. Another one of my friends, Gianna was also in the group. I knew her more than Michelle before we became good friends. Plus she was the only person in the class I was good friends with, so I joined her group and met Mich. After the roots video, Mich and I got to know each other better and soon became really good friends. I didn’t really know

Okay, so here it goes! I met you and was completely astonished by you, you were my life in a second and I never even knew your name. I knew in that moment you were the only person I'd ever need and want. I would've took a bullet for you if I had to and that would have been fine by me.
