Mutual Friends

bus was already coming up the hill following behind my tail to make a complete stop. There was about 5 other students with me anxiously waiting the bus to stop and then they all got on the bus one by one. All I could do is think about all of my best friend. We’re known as the Popular asian group at Jenny Lind. When we arrived at Jenny Lind all of the kids got off in a split second screaming and yelling with joy. As I got off the school bus, I’m greeted with a banner written “Welcome To Jenny…

learned that when surrounded by friends, nothing will ever seem like hard work. It is precisely that reason that makes That Wylie Band so good at what we do. When looking back at how I met my close group of friends, I have come to the realization that all of us have one thing in common: band.

Many people have had an impact on my life, but none quite like my best friend, and partner in crime, Gabrielle. Sure, typical and cliché people such as my mom, dad and teachers have had an impact on my life in some shape or another, but not to the extent that Gabrielle has impacted my life. She has been with me and walked with me throughout my early childhood until the present, difficult time of becoming a young adult and learning lessons essential to my livelihood. She steadfastly joined me in…

received a text from a family friend, telling me he was on his way to come pick me up. Earlier in the week, I had a falling out with a friend, and I really needed someone to talk to. I texted TJ, asking if we could do something, to get my mind off of everything. He happily obliged and offered to take me to ice cream on Wednesday. When he pulled into the driveway, my heart leaped to my throat. I was finally going to have to come to terms with the fact that my best friend and I were fighting, and…

Everyone saw her as the tall, outgoing, gorgeous blonde with long perfect hair, that was also the cheer caption that everyone loved. People constantly told us that we were “bestfriend goals”,…
