Letter to You
Dear Jenny,
Good friends are just like stars. You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there. We are thousands of miles apart from each other, and I miss you.

Some days we would just have nothing to say, but it would never be awkward. Some days, we were so crazy that people thought we were high.

We are two totally different people. We like different things, we don’t have the same style of clothes, we don’t hang out with the same types of people, and we don’t look anything alike! It astounds me that two totally different people can be such close friends! You were always the mean one, and I was always the nice one. Even though we are so different, we connect in a way.
Our friendship is sort of different. We aren’t school friends, we were neighbors. So, every day, we would come home from school and hang out at home! I...
