Who has been the best friend you've had in life? Tell us the story of how you met. Are you still friends with them? If not, why?

Owlz is definitely my best friend. *Smile* I met her in 6th grade- we had math together, and we met through a mutual friend. Going into 6th grade, I was growing apart from my former “best friend” in elementary school, who was slowly turning her attention towards things I was decidedly not that into- makeup, boys, boy bands... and competition. As in, everything was becoming a competition of who did better- and I usually won, which wasn’t pleasant for her. *Laugh*

Anyways, in 6th grade, we had this thing called A/B days, where you would have PE every other day, and an elective class during PE time on the days you didn’t have PE. There was this girl who was in my PE and elective class, and also in my 3rd period science class- I don’t remember how we ended up friends, but we did, and Owlz was also her friend. Owlz, as I mentioned, was in my math class, which was 4th period (how I remember these details, beats me *Laugh*) and since lunch is right after 4th period, I guess I ended up finding them and sitting with them... eventually I ended up in their group- there were 6 of us, and the other girls were all friendly enough, so I stuck around. None of them were from my elementary school, though, and they all knew each other!

As for Owlz, we were never super close until high school/after high school, I guess? I mean, we did group projects together for science in 7th grade- we had the same science class and therefore made some cell models together and she hosted sleepovers for our group, but I don’t remember being as close to her back then as I am now. We also carpooled in 9th grade when sis took 0 period Chinese at the rival high school across the hill and there were late starts on Wednesdays, which would leave me stranded at school for an hour or so while teachers had their meetings *Think*. Mom would also pick her up every now and then in middle school and take her back to her place, since it was so close to school. So Mom would drop off sis at 0 period, I’d go to Owlz’s place to hang for a bit, and then her mom or brother would take us to school.

Post-(HS) graduation, she’s really the only friend I constantly keep in touch with- ironically, Sis didn’t like that first girl who introduced me to everyone else because she also had a younger who she found pretty annoying, and therefore, treated my sister similarly... now, though, she and sis are pretty close friends and I’ve lost contact with her. I tried to reconnect over Christmas since I’d just gotten back from Owlz’s and Sis has just gotten back from the girl’s place, but I don’t think the other girl was too interested in hanging because I invited her out 3 times, and got rejected all three times. *Laugh*

I am definitely still friends with Owlz- I’m grateful for her friendship as well. She’s one of the few people who know how stuff works in my family and extended family/the religious org (Through explanation and just hanging out) and since she’s a MFT (Marriage/Family Therapy) person/intern/pre-professional/grad student, I can always rely on her when I want to talk/need to talk. *Laugh* I’ve also brought her to barre with me [this past Tuesday, because Monday was her bday and we wanted to hang out and celebrate (which I did by inviting her to barre with me! *Rolling* In my defense, I also gave her a pack of goodies and a marshmallow plushie from the Hershey store in NYC *Laugh*) I brought her to the nice instructor’s class (she’s probably one of the best there in my opinion, though the evening instructor is definitely growing on me too)] and she is the only person I’ve taken there so far. Mom keeps saying she wants to try, but either the times don’t work for her, she’s off somewhere, or she hurt herself. *Facepalm**Laugh*

So yeah, that’s pretty much the story of me and Owlz- from 6th grade through now. *Bigsmile*
