dear Jasmine Brown, day 1
You were my best friend. We’ve drifted apart, gone our seperate ways.. We now have completely different lifestyles, and I’ve come to accept it. But you’ll always and forever still be my true best friend. I can still remember that day we first met, in ms. kavanaugh’s fifth grade class. You couldn’t stand me. You thought I was stuck up, i was just friendly. Next weekend, you invited me over to your house. I fell in love with your family, and vise versa. We became best friends. Then, you were moving to Gulfport. And I still have no idea how it happened.. But coincidentally, we moved to Gulfport too.. We ended up going to the same elementary school, the elementary school NO ONE went to. Life would’ve been miserable, but we were best friends, so it wasn’t :) then North Gulfport… oh lord, that middle school… Looking back, that has got to be the worse time of my life. but ehhh, we were smart. Taking algebra in the seventh grade, we had this class together. THANK GOD. I miss that class, the teacher was great huh? Then eighth grade.. We started growing up this year.. All the first times fourteen year olds shouldn’t have, we did.. We got influenced easily off each other, & it wasn’t for the best.. We made mistakes, mistakes i’ll never forget. But mistakes I learned from. Mistakes you learned from too. Mistakes, if I would have made them with anyone else, that would have haunted me my entire life. Thank God you were there with me.. Later on, eighth grade year, we fought. Not just argued, got in an actual fist fight. Tons of demerits for it, but oh well.. It was a learning experience huh? After that was the beginning of our seperate ways. You got pregnant. I still remember in eighth grade, we weren’t close at all. But you still had the trust to tell me, you told me you were the only one you’ve told.. That’s when I realized that even though we drifted apart, you’d still always be there for me. That hasn’t failed me yet. We’re in high school now. Totally different social groups. Total different outlooks on life. Totally different ways of dressing. We’re completely different now. We rarely talk, ever. We both have new “best friends” now.. But in my heart, deep down inside, I know you’re my best friend. My true best friend. I know you’re the one I can come to with the hardest decisions. And I just want to thank you for building that place for yourself in my heart. I love you Jasee.
love sierra.<3
