In first grade, my best friend was Rebecca. We sat at the same group at some point, that's where we met. We did most things at school together, but for some reason we never visited each other's houses...then again, I don't like doing that much.. Anyway, next year we were in different classes, but we still talked when we could. I moved in second grade, so we weren't really friends after that -__- I remember the last day I saw her, I was like "REBECCAAAAAA" and we hugged and I spilled my backpack everywhere. So I didn't see her anymore, and I wondered if the people from first grade still remembered me or not, because I remembered a lot of them. Then, just a year or two ago, Rebecca added me on Facebook 0_0 It's not the same as when we were little kids obviously, but it was still nice to know she still thought of me.
In second grade, I had a friend named Elise (I think that was her name.. o_o). I met her on the first day of that grade and gave her my Squirtle pencil lol. There was another girl named Shelby whose house I visited, a guy named Austin that I always talked about Pokemon with, and a girl named Moranda who nearly threw up on me. I didn't really have a real best friend in those times, though, besides Rebecca, who I only saw every so often. Second grade was when I moved back to Tennessee.
In TN, I had to be homeschooled for a bit as I finished second grade due to some crap or other. I didn't really have other friends, but to be honest I didn't really care, didn't bother me. My aunt told me she often babysat this girl about my age, and she wanted me to meet her. Her name was Angel. We met, clicked, and played together as often as we could. We'd spend the night at my grandmother's, or sometimes she'd come to my house and stay for the weekend, or, in summer, a couple weeks. In ninth grade, she even lived with me for a year. We've been best friends for more than 10 years now, and I love her so much ;__; Unfortunately, a lot of my family - the part that was basically responsible for raising her - has abandoned her due to something ridiculous. Good thing my parents don't hate her.
In fourth grade, I met two girls named Courtney and Hayley, who were always together. I joined them, and we spent a lot of time together at school, like doing group projects or on the playground or whatever. By fifth grade, Courtney and Hayley apparently weren't friends anymore, so I still played with Hayley, but Courtney seemed like she didn't want to be friends with me either, so we just grew apart. Hayley and I hung out for a while, but eventually we just grew apart, too. Dunno why, really.
In sixth grade, I met Alex. We met because I was wearing my Charizard shirt and he came up to me and was like, "Why are you wearing a Pokemon shirt?" I replied, "Because I can." Been together ever since XD Turns out he was a Pokemon fan, too. It was cool for both of us to meet someone else who actually played Pokemon for real and knew a lot about it. He's taught me a lot of lessons about it over the years :P We've been to each other's houses a whole lot, been places together and stuff. Since the time I met him, people have been assuming we were bf/gf, but nope, never. We've been buds for 7 years now :3
In ninth grade, I met Taco, Kelly, and Amanda. I met Taco and Kelly in the required "wellness" gym class. I think I started talking to her because she looked depressed o_0 But yeah, Kelly tagged along, too, and we were always together for gym and lunch. We sort of grew apart starting in 10th grade, when we didn't see each other as often. In band, I met Amanda, because Angel and I had to find a group to practice with one day, and Amanda and another girl named Kiera were the other two people without a full group. Next year, after Angel went back to her old school, I started hanging out with Amanda at lunch and during band. We've had some pretty hilarious times. Still friends, it's been about four years. We don't talk very often now, but sometimes we make plans to see each other :3 Our views clash in a lot of ways, but we try not to let that get in the way of our friendship.
In tenth grade, I met my boyfriend, who is also one of my best friends, online. He knew my sister first, and my sister insisted that I add him and talk to him. We shared a lot of the same interests in stuff like Tales games, Pokemon, anime, etc. so we clicked immediately. We're similar in a lot of ways, but our personalities will sometimes clash. But we've had lots of fun, it's been three years :3
In twelfth grade, I met Justin in French class. We met because we were having an oral quiz and, since we sat next to each other, we were asking each other how to say some of the words before it was our turn. Neither of us knew XD The next days, we watched a movie in that class, and Justin sent me notecards asking questions about me. And that's how that happened :P We ended up having a lot of classes together that year. Still friends, been about a year. Just recently, my dad let him borrow a bike to get around with XD
And my sister Bean is my best friend. We're a little over four years apart.
