“HI MY NAME IS ETHAN 19 YRS/OLD. I LOVE ARTS. I HAVE A BESTFRIEND HIS NAME IS LUKE. WE GROW UP TOGETHER IN THE SAME NEIGBORHOOD BECAUSE MY MOM AND HIS MOM ARE BESTFRIEND SO AS WE. LUKE AND I ARE IN THE SAME CLASS,WE SHARE EVERYTHING WE HAVE, LIKE BROTHERS, BUT WE DIDN’T SHARE SAME ATTITUDE AND WOMAN, HE IS PLAY BOY AND IM NOT, IM JUST A TYPICALLY SMART AND HANDSOME.
