I fell that friendship is for a lifetime!

Sure, we all went to high school. the 400-something classmates I had, most of them did not matter to me that much. I had Angie and Amanda, the only tow that really mattered to me. Sure, I had four years, and I got to know a lot of people, but your friends are the ones that stick around forever.

Amanda was a good friend of mine. I went through a lot with my mom and home life, and she was always there to help me figure things out. She had the life I wished I had. Mom and Dad, sister, a car when she turned sixteen. She was perfect. We swooned over boys together and she helped me figure out some of my problems. She wanted me to come to church with her. I wanted to go to church with her. I ended up living with her for about seven months. It all went down hill when we started sharing cloths and she got a boyfriend. She was my good friend. We still talk every now and then, but not as much as we used to.

Now my friend Angie is absolutely amazing. I love her to death! She was the person I could identify with. I met her our freshman year in high school. She was in my English class. One day in class, I heard her whisper my name. I could not understand what she was saying but now I know she was telling me to lean down. I carried on doing whatever and the next thing I know, a three inch text book was flying so close by my head I felt the breeze and heard the pages turning. In an instant the kid next to me was smacked in the side of the face and I swear to you it was the funniest thing ever. He was so stoned it didn't even matter! I laughed so hard my ribs hurt the next day.

The last ten minutes of class were spent going around the room asking if we saw who did it or if we did it ourself. No one would fess up, naturally. We were all late to our next classes with out passes, but it was worth every minute of it. Ever since then we have talked and laughed. Angie knows me so well she set me up with my current boyfriend, and I am very happy. We have the same heart, want the same things in life and I am just amazed that there is someone else in this world that could be the same as me. She has a different look on life. She is the person I call when I am crying and need help. The one I turn to to make me laugh and the only person in the whole entire world that knows me. I have moved to Kentucky, where she lives, from Florida and I am loving every minute of it.

So yes, friendships are forever. Or at least mine are.
