We started off talking online in the comment section of Instagram. It was the night before I was going on vacation and I really needed sleep but I was so happy we were talking so I stayed up all night. I remember we were too scared to dm each other or skype. We talked all throughout spring break. I had felt like I had a friend instead of someone who was using me for their own happiness or just passing the time. Eventually, we dmed each other and we would talk for hours. We would talk about everything from anime to how we were going to meet. We decided a hug would be the best. When I got back from Mexico, that was the day we were going to meet. You weren't at school in the morning and I started getting scared because I wanted to see you. The lunch bell had rung and I saw you walking into the school yard. My heart started beating and I started walking towards the opposite direction, pretending not to see you. You ran up to me and I turned around and started running towards you too. We hugged for a good 30 seconds and it was amazing. I felt the happiest I had ever felt. We stood there nervously, trying to think of conversations. It was hard to think of what to say but I loved every minute of it. After that, I would hug you every time I saw you and I would look forward to every interaction. Eventually, I came over to your house for a sleepover. We walked to the corner store in wigs and we talked about memes and I was nervous but once I got to your house, I felt like I had known you for years. We cuddled and took shitty photos of each other and we sung terribly. I was so yellow-green. The next day, we had fallen apart a bit. I was scared to lose you but little did I know, that day strengthened our relationship more than anything. We had talked about the beauty we see in each other and we opened up about our emotions and everything was good again. I knew that I loved you and now, look at us. We've come so far. You're my best friend. It feels so heckin good to say that. We've been through so much but I know that you are my best friend and I love you.
