Mohanie. { 004/365 }
You met her in 1st grade with no real intention of being her best friend. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with her, it was just that you had a best friend already and you didn't understand the concept of having more than just one friend.
She ended up moving to a different school after 2nd grade anyway and for all you knew, you probably would have never seen her again. But junior high came and even
though you weren't in the same 5th grade class, she still came up to you in the hallway, asking if you were who she thought you were: Did you go to P.S. 148? Is your name Cindy? Indeed, you did and indeed, it was. You were surprised she even recognized you, but it was nice to see a familiar face even though it had been 2 years since you last saw her. She seemed friendlier than you remembered and although that was the only time you ever crossed paths that year, you had hoped you would see her again, for the sake of at least knowing someone else in a new school where you were still trying to find your own ground.
Sixth grade came, and you, along with everyone else in the class, knew life with Ms Hershey was going to be hell. Luckily, you ended up making a much stable group of friends that year that helped you pull through what you thought might be the most torturous year of your junior high life. And Mohanie ended up not only being a part of that group, but your next best friend, and the friend you know you'll probably have for the rest of your life.
Your friendship gradually went from gossiping in class to morning conversations on the phone to sneaking around and saying you were "at the library" just to hang out after school and talk, talk, talk like you two just couldn't stop doing. You two related on the fact that you were both from strict families, strict cultures, with strict rules, and although you two were always itching to break them, most of the time you never did. You found it endearing that she never really did like your elementary school best friend, and she found it endearing that you never really liked her other best friend. Before you knew it, she was your best friend and you couldn't have been happier finding someone who seemed just like you. Twelve years later, and you two are still the same.
Although highschool and college pulled you two apart, you two have always been able to call and talk like old times -- and that, in itself, has always been the best part about your friendship with her. Just knowing that no matter how far apart you've been, or how long it's been since you two have talked, things never seem to change when you two get together. & Because of that, she is and always will be your number one best friend since childhood.
