“Who is your best friend?”, one of my pals asked me three days ago. I was lost for words, thus when the bell rang, signifying assembly time, for the first time, I was happy.
It is not that I don’t want to answer the question, which is so common among teenagers. But, what is best friends, really? One who sacrifices everything for the sake of friendship, one who share your joy when you are happy, one who stays by your side and console you when you are sad, one who tries her best to help you when you are at ease and last but not least one who will not bad mouth you at your back( or rather stab your back). So, now do you know who is your best friend?
Back to the question, when someone asked me that, I would try my very best to avoid it by running away, eating, and jumping into another topic. That is because no one( not a soul) suits the criteria of being a good, truthful friend. Right, I am not being ridiculous or demanding, but yes, I myself was not perfect as well. frankly speaking, I would not feel bad even if my fellow friends would not choose me as their best friends.
Being a best friend is like a soul trapped inside a person’s heart. You have to listen to her and you are like given a duty to satisfy her. If not, you are not a good friend. Well, I got some kinda’ best friends story to share with you.
Tallie is a really nice girl and I enjoy her company. But, she has a lot of problems to share that I got bored and angry sometimes. She talks about the same thing everyday, of all her problems. Everyday, she will pull me to a far away land and tell me her stuff. I know that a friend(true friend) shares, listen and keep their friend’s secret. But, I am not that kinda’ counselor and I can’t help much, can I? Love story and family problem can be passed on to teachers, not me! I am just an ordinary 14 year old girl and I prefer to mind my own business.
Then, there is this Jerome, who keeps talking about the one and only Jessica Simpson. Alright, this Jerome is a guy and he is a die die hard fan of Jessica. So, if you are asking what is wrong, I will tell you right now! It is irritating and annoying when everything comes out from his mouth is Jessica Simpson. I know as a friend, I have to encourage and share the joy and I am not jealous or what but this is ….It is far more unacceptable when he keeps on following you wherever you go(except to the toilet, of course. Luckily, he is not a girl), which added to some unnecessary rumors.

Dove is far more worst than Tallie and Jerome. She keeps on bugging me and invite me to chat and play when the teacher is in front. She seems least interested in studies. While I try my best to focus on my studies and ignore her predicaments, it is so irritating and mind-boggling. She will say “Very Boring!”. yeah, I know that I am the quiet type in class, and she can’t and mustn’t expect me to talk and play when the the teacher is busy teaching. No way!
The three friends mentioned above are indeed my closest friends. But, are they considered as my best friends? I thought best friends would do their best to make their friend comfortable and none of them did. I just pray and hope that they will not read this article. Last of all, sorry if I break any of your heart. Sorry!
Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart.
