We met in the Kindergarten, it was the first day of school and I was surprisingly outgoing on that particular day considering how much I kept to myself. My mom had dropped me off and as soon as I got out of the truck I went straight to the playground. It was early and the class hadn't started so all of the kids were playing outside. I looked around and I saw her, the who I had decided was going to be my friend. I walked right up to her and asked her if she wanted to be friends right off the bat. She answered yes and asked if I wanted to go down the slide so we ran up the playground to the top of the slide and told each other our names. We would go down the slide and wait for each other at the bottom and then run back up to the top. We played to the playground until we had to line up outside of the classrooms because class were going to start. It made me feel good knowing that I already had a friend so my first day at school went great. She was the first friend that I ever made at school and I even went home and told my parents about her.

We went through all elementary school still being friends. Some years we were close than others and I guess it just depended on whether we had the same teacher. In the years that we didn't have the same teacher, we wouldn't see each other as much. It was actually funny because the teachers would get us confused. We were about the same height, both wore glasses, and had short, dark hair. Some teachers would call me by her name or they will call her by mine. Other teachers thought we are twins, sisters, cousins, any form of related that would explain why were looked alike. Sometimes I would just be walking around the school or doing anything and I would hear a teacher say her name a few times until I would finally and turn around and realize that they were talkin'g to me. So I would have to explain that I was in fact, not her. Which is when they would start asking all the twin and sister questions.

Once we finished the elementary school, we also went to the same middle school. We hardly had any classes together for those two years and if we did, we usually just sat with other friends but we still greeted with each other with a smiles. We grew apart but we never grew bitter or felt any negative feelings or emotions towards each other. I don't ever remember having a fight with her. I'm sure we would get annoyed at certain things or at some points which is normal. But I don't recall ever feeling like I didn't want to be friends with her. I don't know if it's because we just got along or we just understood each other.
