Bestest Buddy

This is me and my best friend Jennifer.

This picture was taken last year, our sophomore year. Since we are both students in honors classes who are viewed as responsible and polite (hahahaaa), we were chosen to be Prom Marshalls. What's a Prom Marshall? An underclassmen who walks around during the prom and picks up peoples trash and helps clean up afterwards. It was a lot more fun than it sounds. We stood by the refreshments most of the time and gossiped about who came with who and girls we don't like who looked fat and boys we thought were gorgeous. I love to dance, so I danced by the chocolate fountain since I wasn't allowed on the dance floor. At the end of the night, we were exhausted. We went outside to sit on the curb until her father came to pick us up and take us home. We were the last ones to leave and sucked helium out of left over balloons and cracked up at how hilarious we sounded, and broke open glow sticks to see what the liquid looked like inside. Jennifer had her camera with her and asked the teacher waiting with us to take our picture. We scooted closer to each other and smiled, capturing our friendship and what we look like at midnight in my favorite picture of us.

Jennifer and I became friends in 7th grade when we were shy students in honors classes at our ghetto middle school. It's been a long time since then, but it doesn't always feel like it. As we got older, we changed. I went through my lame emo phase and Jennifer started using not-so-lady-like words. We've sprayed teachers in the butt with water on kind of accident, crawled through ceilings, broken into abandoned schools, and stalked people (ahem, cute boys) to Sonic. We've eaten a million pounds of junk food while watching random movies on my bed. We've agonized over boys we like, gossiped about girls we don't like, listened to stupid songs (WHAT WHAT IN THE BUTT), taken the ghetto city bus to the ghetto mall to eat delicious Chinese food. I mean sure, there are times when I know we'd love to beat each other with our Pre Calculus books, but we get over that. And I'm glad. Because without Jennifer, I would have no one to eat orange chicken with and laugh at The Shining with. I'd have no one to recommend good books to me. Without Jennifer, my life would be one giant ball of suck. So to anyone reading this, know that Jennifer is one of the most amazing people in this world, she's my best friend, and if you mess with her, I'll haunt your toilet when I die and poke you in the butt when you pee, and believe me, you don't want that. So back up. And Jennifer, thanks for being the Bestest. Buddy. Ever. :)
