Good friends mean a lot in our life. I used to have some friends who I could . It was my 4th grade in the elementary school that I had my two friends Nina and Nancy. I had known them since the first grade and we had gotten along quite well. Now the memory of their appearance is still in my mind.
The following year I went to a new school. I was shy and didn’t much. The first day I made no new friend and I felt . The next day right after school as we were waiting for our school , I felt someone on my hair, I quickly turned “Why did you do that? ”

I’m Alondra, nice to meet you! ”Then the school bus came and we got on.

One day, when we were in the 8th grade, Alondra told me she had always wanted a best friend and then I along. I felt so to hear about it.
