I Had A Friend

                                                   The Begining of Our Friendship

          I had a friend named Selene. We were inseparable like  two peas in a pod or in other words we were best friends. Is not that we spread apart it’s that we just couldn’t be friends anymore. It was kind of hard hanging on to her and I had to let her go.

            I can still remember the day we met. Four years ago when we were in second grade, it was both our first day at the school.

Also I would always remember how we would think that the janitors were the ones stealing the large, round pencils we were given. Another thing I enjoyed was how we were the only two girls in our class who would pay tag with the boys, despite the fact that we were both true girly girls.

            Then of course after school when our mothers picked us up we would both beg for a “play date” and we would whine and whine until finely one of our parents would give in. After school was a great time. Her family was very rich and had a huge house, which was built about twenty years ago, so we would spend the days searching her home for secret passage ways. My home on the other hand was a middle class sized home on a “lake” or just a canal as what we called them in Florida. There we would ride our mini three wheeled scooters with my mother along the lake. Sometimes we would bring my once very young Golden retriever puppy. That was how we spent the first two or three months knowing each other. It was not until December around Christmas time where our families became very close and that we were what they
